1. Jeremy Roy
2.Travis Konecny
3 Jansen Harkins
4 mathew Barzal. the player I want us to target if we trade up that would have me really excited

Trade it for Kerby Rychel and call it a day.

Thought they wanted to deal Rychel for a d-man?

Oh reallllly... I have been on here very sparingly lately so I have missed everything from 89... anything more that you can indulge me on? Especially compensation?
- JVince11



The cliff notes: Murray wants him.


I'm not saying I'm for or against it.

They do but that pick could get them a d-man from say Pittsburgh who wants back in the 1st rd.

Just a thought.

Sweet... so we are still circling the toilet about us having ROR next year? sweet.

Where there's smoke there's generally a fire.

He's not my ideal target but I think it's safe to say 21st will be moved either up or for a roster player.

He is an RFA is he not? He signed that 2 year offer sheet and made like 6.5M this year?

Could work out nicely.

He's a UFA next year.

He'd be a UFA I believe. My guess is they wouldn't trade for him unless they could work out a deal.

Which can't be done until July 1st.

That makes any deal questionable.

They can't officially sign the deal until then but they could discuss it. I am sure they would ask for permission to speak with him and his agent. It's all doable.

Even to give up a ton for a 1 year rental on a team thta might just trade him again at the deadline if we suck next year.... I really don't want to give up too much for him.

They badly need defense.

i could see us giving up #21 and Pysyk or McCabe. Ruhwedel would be my preference but they'd want a bigger fish. I wouldn't want to give up any forwards like bailey or Baptiste for sure.

Didn't realize that Grigo is now a RFA.

Wow... what a way to burn a guy's ELC. Be curious to see what he comes out with.

I could see him going to COL in a deal for ROR now for sure.

Hes getting knocked down because he couldn't handle the NHL game and that's why he went back to juniors.

When you have to bump up your weight to compete with men, it doesn't happen all at once and players usually have to adjust when they add muscle.

Not saying he isn't a great prospect in a few years, just not a 50 point guy next season.

- bjm1717


Don't disagree but judgement right now when one guy played 10 regular season games, the other a few regular season games plus playoffs, and another the full season just seems wayy too early for comments or analysis IMO

Gustav Nyquist, Marcus Johannson, Tyler Toffoli, Derek Stepan, Craig Smith, Colin Wilson, Alex Galchenyuk, Vlad Tarasenko, Huberdeau, Shaun Prince, Kuznetsov, Silferberg are all RFAs this year.

If we were actually serious about it..... I would just foam at the mouth for almost any of these guys.

I've been a fan of his since he came to Anaheim. Unbelievable to watch. Plays in all situations.

Yes... very good player. Tarasenko would be the obvious top choice but no way that could ever happen.

Nyquist is my man crush though.... dude is just amazing to watch play...

Toffoli could be most realistic with their cap issues there. If I remember right we were trying to get him hard in the McNabb trade but got Fashing instead.

Silfverberg is great, plus wouldn't Murray have drafted him?

Taro gets resigned no matter what deal youd put out there. Would have to give up our 1st to even have a shot

Wings will have cap space I think
has to be a king

I know offer sheeting Tarasenko was discussed on the radio earlier in the week. I only caught the tail end of it though.
