Flyers have no (frank)s. yeah, you can poach. But it'll be open season on your ass.

Having Tarasenko and everyone hating you is better than not having Tarasenko and other GM's thinking you're a swell guy

You're right that's why you offer 10 to 11 mil per year
- mattmoulson

Tarasenko is still worth it at the price too. IMO

If we dont Get stamkos send an offer sheet for Nathan McKinnon or Johnny hockey for 9 million a year Overpaying yes but they won't match it

Then you might get him, and have an incredibly expensive player plus lose a bunch of picks.

Don't get me wrong he's great, but the offer sheet rarely works out.

That's loser mentality you got to take chances especially A great player like him .
You're basically getting a Stamkos thats younger and cheaper

You're right but I think I would still take Tarasenko and an enormous contract over 4 picks that you hope you can get a player that is anywhere near the player Tarasenko is

Me too.

Not that it would happen...
But Custance from ESPN threw out an offer Arizona could make to possibly trade up for Matthews
Strome, 2 prospects & two 1sts
If that was us...
Reinhart, Fasching, Bailey, two 1sts

That's tempting
But I think I like Matthews better than most on here
It's probably too much though
He's better than Reinhart, but idk if he's that much better

If we don't get Stamkos...
We should save all the $$$ for next offseason
Teams will be much more desperate to make moves bc of the expansion draft
That's when we could make some big moves

I honestly don't care anymore About the picks i'm sick of not being in the playoffs now it's time to take a chance and take a risk I don't care just offer sheet a great player this summer ..

Imagine jack with Johnny hockey or Nathan McKinnon

Or we can go the cheaper route and just give up a first ,2nd etc for players like
Chris Kreider Or Jaden Schwartz

You are naming players that will get matched no matter what you offer. It's a pipe dream

You think they'll match a 9 million Dollar $10 million offer sheet Maybe

Then when we have Schwartz at a ridiculous 7 mil and Eichel and Reinhart up for deals, we can expect them to be poached

Foligno will be in the league 5 years from now.

Yak will be in the KHL after this next contract.

It should be Yak+ for Foligno.

He really is a useless piece of sh!t.
- dadeadhead

Yeah, you might be right about that, but because the 1st overall title holds so much weight I don't see Edmonton doing it anyway which is fine because I don't see Murray trading for a problematic Russian, so the whole point is probably moot.

that's 4 first round picks going forward.

That's ok with me those picks should be in 25's or more with him here

Can you name me one team that has done a revenge offer sheet to someone? I can't

they can have reinhart, bailey and fasching and this years 1st.. i think the two firsts is the steep part of that. but it gets you think.. can he jump in and make us that much better next year that we don't have a high pick? i don't think he would, in fact he may not be any better than reinhart next season

Yup.

Till then we should have the best/funnest draft ever...we have tons of picks for TM to deal with and he has the crazy face to get some good stuff done.

- IndianaSabresFan

I think Matthews is as good as Eichel, or will be
Maybe not next season though

I also think Reinhart will be a really nice player for us though
So all the extra we'd have to give up would probably be too much
And I doubt the Leafs would even consider moving the pick anyways

Yup.

In a perfect world,
We sign Stamkos this offseason
Get Vesey in the fall

Take advantage of a couple teams next offseason to get a partner for Risto & possibly upgrade the top6 even further
Maybe we're looking for a goalie too if Lehner can't stay healthy &/or play well this season
