NHL Offseason 2021 Thread

Looks like the Canucks are breaking the Hyman.

Oh sure, they acquire a guy named Graves, but never brought Satan on board.

Souhan: Wild wanted both Zach Parise and Ryan Suter gone

There were other reasons, true, but the main one: the team's bosses were sick of these one-time stars.

Here's the hit piece on Suter and Parise that you were expecting.

Clearly the prize of the UFA market, but honestly who can give him 9+ in a flat cap world? That he would want to go to?

East Notes: Detroit UFAs, Danault, Penguins Expansion

Detroit talks to a couple of pending UFAs, a crucial Montreal forward may not return, and Pittsburgh faces a tough expansion decision.

Seriously, why would the Penguins leave Kapanen unprotected? That is nonsense.

If Danault gets $5 million per year for 6 years....Good luck with that.

This is nervous time for Canucks fans

I'm always wary of the guy who wants to be paid like he's the man, but clearly wants to go to a team where he can be 3rd or 4th fiddle. Also, who is this Ledeskog fella

of those teams, only one has the money to spend (St Louis) and they still have 7 forwards to sign.

Florida might be able to as long as they are completely willing to walk away from Wennberg, Bennett and Wallmark.

IDGAF what the Leafs do this offseason but I am thinking Marner might be a hotter trade target than I thought given some of these rumoured prices for guys who aren't that great.

 

[Nasty_Magician]

Not sure if he'd be willing to come but Landeskog checks a lot of boxes on the Devils wish list and we can afford him. With the exception of Hischier we don't have guys committed long term and the guys we will have to pay have plenty of RFA years left.

Pens have to trade McCann if they're not protecting him.

Barrasso for about 10 years then 4 or 5 years of going through goalie after goalie. Then around 15 years of Fleury and now back to the goalie after goalie.

Who are the number 1 picks in 2024 and 2025?

Mark Friedman????????????? Damn our blue line sucks that the Penguins are going to protect Mark Friedman of 16 career NHL games!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's okay, there are rumors that they are going to trade to get Fleury back.



Yeah. Go ahead and sens Jeff Carter to Vegas. There is no downside to him living there.

Stevie Y has essentially traded Anthony Mantha for Jakub Vrana and Nick Leddy.

Is he a wizard?

Maybe. My guess is he flips Leddy at the deadline for something better. That’ll be what to really judge him on.

Indeed he may be. Holland taught him a lot, so did Jimmy, meanwhile Holland is now going down the tubes IMHO.

Possible. But if he upgrades then, the trade with the Caps looks even better. I personally feel like he won just going Vrana for Mantha. Anything from now on is just gravy.

And if Leddy stays, slam dunk. Leddy really impressed me in the playoffs.
