Pass on McGinn.

We don't need another 4M player on our 3rd or 4th line for the foreseeable future

He's a quality player so I'm ok with getting him but based on cost I can live without him too.

No thanks.

Idk which is worse them or Anchor Bar.
- dadeadhead

Anchor for sure. The best wings can be found in the most obscure places.

Pass on McGinn.

Again what if it were a 3 yr deal?

Not advocating it, just asking.

I would still say no on that DD. The term is great if he agreed at 5 for 3 years.

I don't think we're in the mix here. For some reason I could see Murray making a pitch for Backes.

I'd throw a 7.5 mill offer sheet at Kucherov (similar to Tarasenko), and away we go!!!!!

He has to want to sign it though.

@JoeYerdon I still can't get over how good Risto's stats were AND faced every team's top lines w/ top 5 TOI for DMen.

For the last two years he’s basically done this. And he’s 21.

I don't see UFA's signing 3 year deals.

McGinn with pairing with ROR last year was worth every dime of that though. He is one of those players that can move up and down the wings and gets better when paired with better players.

Stop with this Okposo poop...

Gonna make me hurl.
- JVince11

EXACTLY, F Okposo, he should have been scoring 30+ along side Tavares. Not worth the money, Moulson 2.0, have to be better options.

backes is a nice player who is or will be declining very shortly. For his term and salary demands, it's a hard pass. If you get him. If. For 5x3, that's a deal I consider. It's also a Plan E

THat guy talking to Joe seems smart.... and sophisticated.

- dadeadhead

This was my thought. I'd want him to be a nice stop gap while we wait and see how LW talent develops through our prospect pool. I doubt his agent settles for a deal that short though.

Does anyone actually have any hard facts to back up why they hate Okposo?

He's gonna cost 6+ for 5 years and he's already 32.

Honestly if it were Okposo at 7 for 3 yrs I might be alright with it. Not a huge fan of it but might be ok with it.

Lots of names to throw around.

Do we see more fireworks today on the trade front? Me thinks so.

Plan E for me is Nash.

He should be a last resort move IMO.

All of the NHL people say that he wants 7M. He played 2 years ago with Tavares and posted above average numbers. He played with Nielson on the 2nd line this year and posted slightly less numbers.

He is not a two way forward. Doesn't not seem to be worth the big pay day.

That is my 2 cents.

Vanek for Plan F

We need both a RW and a LW for the top 6. Who is most appealing in either trade or free agency that we could plug in there?

Joe Yerdon is a good follow. He seems to know his stuff. I think Risto is just scratching the surface (Hot Take, I know)
