I don't think Bozak will get much more . He is not that great even with demand.

Hutton and Tanev @7.5 or Carlson at 10

Mimimum return on Tanev would be two seconds and for Hutton a fifth
- VANTEL

I'd 100% prefer Carlson for 3 years + draft picks over Tanev/Hutton


i'm less excited about the idea of 7 years at 7.5M per until he's 35 years old

We know that will not happen

What could possibly go wrong with that? Do it JB, spend it all!

God I hope Friedman is right about them only wanting to sign UFA' to shorter term deals and willing to eat bad contracts for draft picks. Maybe now that the Sedins are gone, Linden is finally accepting reality.

Doubt it. I bet that’s not even his real hair.

Ideal situation for me. Andrew MacDonald + 2nd to the Canucks for future considerations

Well yeah, I think he meant 9mx7....

Differences aside I agree with you tonight Vantel.

lmao


If he can get anything close to 9Mx7 then why the hell would he take 10Mx3?

Dahlin, Boqvist, Bouchard, Hughes, Dobson all run their PP's. If Van so desperately needs one. They should find a way to draft one of them.

We most likely pick one of those

Yeah, probably.

My Zadina dream is dead

I would offer Tavares 10 million over seven years but I doubt he'd take it. Thus I agree with your take.
- LeftCoaster

Cannot hurt to make that offer. 👍👍

I don't think so, lots of teams would make necessary changes to fit Tavares. Like Montreal.

If JT considers the Habs then he will go anywhere. Habs are in shambles.

If we could lure Carlson its lower than 10m

Would like to get St. Louis 1st from the Flyers somehow.

Yeah, probably.

Cannot pass on Zadina but sets us back on D unless something else gives.

- Nucker101

With Sedins retired competition for top 6 just opened up wide. Zadina works 👍
Scoring D is a huge need whether sign Carlson or draft or trade for picks. We need to trade a D or 2 IMO.

Yeah, probably.

- Nucker101

Noooooooooooooooooooooo

If no Dahlin i’d be more than happy with Zadina or Bouchard. Also trade down for both NYI picks would be intetesting.

A nice list for the 2018 draft to study

They're actually funny guys, half of them, but their sense of humour is obviously different. They laugh and crack jokes all the time. Every hour they have a tea break chucking the poop in their own language.
- LeftCoaster

Of course. I wouldnt expect any different.

I always thought this team would enter phase 2 at the end of their contract. Was hoping for more prospects and picks though. Now a couple of vet contracts left over from JB's beginning don't look so devastating with the Sedins moving on and there being a ton of cap space and quite a few young players coming up.

I do expect LE to want to move on now with this team shifting to youth. That would be the cherry on top.

I still think it was stupid of them to cater to declining vets and stale care, not a good way to run a pro team.

I’m sure LE is open to a move, but who’s stupid enough to actually want that albatross contract?
