Anything up to 5.888 would be matched. A first second and third in next years draft I would think twice

Yup

Any good GM doesn't offer sheet players with a 2C ceiling.

Horvat's agent is waiting for Wennberg to sign before dealing

Next year we have 12 players signed and 35 mil in cap space I don't see any of the RFAs getting more than a mil raise
- VANTEL

Probably on Guddy. Sven @ 1$.8M & Granlund @ $900K not so much. If they have 20 goal seasons built off last season will cost more.

There is also the ELC factor of more prospects making roster in 2018 to allow for room. Not sure how that balances out the expiring show me deals that are less then $1M. Big ticket as we know is that Sedin $14M nut and how that gets filled in.

I can see Granlund bumped up to 3 mil . If Sven has a good year 3 mil also . Stecher bridge deal like Hutton. Gudbrandson around the same as this year.

If Sven has a good year I'd move him at TDL.

That would be nice. But Sven and Granlund have arbitration rights. Guddy the UFA hammer. So wouldn't be the same as this season or they'd have signed him longer term.

Pump and dump.

Agree.
Although a team like Carolina, that is ready to take the next step may be interested someway/somehow to acquire a Centre with Bo's ability.
Carolina has a boatload of prospects. Capspace and draft picks.

Guddy will be signed by TDL or traded. He needs to come out of the blocks on fire.

If Carolina OS Bo and it cost a first second and third I would let him go. That would be a top 10 pick in each round

Trade him when value is high, I like it.

Pump and dump.

30+ goals makes Bear Cheese appetizing.

Hearing Red Wings RFA F Andreas Athanasiou could be signing in Russia soon. Talks with Red Wings going nowhere.

- VANTEL

One of the RFA or on show me deals wingers will need to be moved if they all progress. That's more the likely pressure by TDL then moving a D under contract.

Yup Canucks could move 3 or 4 players at TDL including a goalie if Demko looks ready

I thought you were high on Canes as a team on the rise making the playoffs? Wouldn't getting Bo add to the climb?

I like the Canes but they are not ready for the big boys yet . One or two more years

let's hurry up and dump Bo

The general discussion point, in case you missed it, was around an offer-sheet.
I pointed out a team that I thought might be willing to try one for the first time in about a decade.

No need to get your poop in a Knot.

I did add that I like Bo, but a 1st 2nd and 3rd in next draft is greater value than Bo Horvat IMO.
