2019 Offseason Thread

[Nasty_Magician]

Skinner just signed for $9 per which means Hall is probably getting somewhere in the neighborhood of $10.5.

Man I hope we sign back Hall... getting worried....

 

[Nasty_Magician]

Stanley Cup is wrapped up, now onto the offseason.

That Blues team actually reminded me of the 95 Devils. Solid goaltending, great D, smothering in the neutral zone, won a lot of close games. Good for St. Louis.

 

[CalamityX11]

Congrats to the Blues.... this was a playoffs that didn't have a major player to win it all, all teams had a chance....

Boston nearly had the triple crown(Superbowl, World Series...)

 

[CalamityX11]

How the Blues hit reset, then beat the game

Holy cow, didn't realize they were last on Jan 2nd, throw in an 11 game win streak and boom Stanley Cup Champions...

well done...

 

[Nasty_Magician]

Skinner and Eberle off the market. A potentially loaded winger UFA class is getting smaller.

 

[CalamityX11]

Still some good ones... the likes of Lee and Simmonds are perhaps more enticing to us financially compared to Pavelski and Panarin.

The recent rumors of PK Subban are very interesting obviously and I'd be very open to hear what the potential trade package would be if NSH is serious about moving him...

Hall is our #1 priority IMO. I like Simmonds here with us(at the right price).

Of course would like others but that would be breaking the bank territory.

If our off-season is Simmonds + top pairing defenseman I'm good with that.

Those 2 plus the additions of Hughes, Ty Smith and potentially Jesper Boqvist puts us in really good shape. Boqvist is apparently the fastest player in our organization, would love to see him put it together.

Oh snap, faster than McLeod?

Oh snap, faster than McLeod?

"I just watched Boqvist play against the Fins (last week),” Fitzgerald said. “I went over to watch the (Kaapo) Kakko kid and both Jespers (Bratt and Boqvist) played. It was a good game to watch. (Boqvist) has made tremendous strides from where he was a year ago. Just his speed is incredible. In-flight speed, I don’t know if we have anyone in our organization faster, and that includes (Taylor Hall). He effortlessly moves around the ice. He’s made some great strides.

“He became a top player in that league as a young player. It says a lot about his ability and a lot about how, maybe, lucky we are by getting him in the second round.”

I really enjoyed watching the Blues run to their first Stanley Cup Title.
As far as free agents go, Taylor Hall is a must and I wouldn't mind Brian Boyle returning to the team. I've always hoped the team would sign Justin Williams. He is up in age yet still very productive and would really help a younger team. Something along the lines of a one year or two year deal at a salary that would appeal to him.

The D could really use some help. Not sure which way the team will go here. They really need to get this solved before the season starts.

 

[CalamityX11]

Karlsson got 8 yrs from the Sharks....

It's a big domino to fall. Sharks are very top heavy, a lot of large, long term cap hits. Good trade target.

 

[rp2five]

There was a point over a year ago I would say go all in on Karlsson, but, I think he is past his peak now.
Not sure if he will ever be the same player he was before this season with his injuries etc.

I do agree on getting defensive help and I don't really care for Trouba. He will be greatly overpaid. I think any help on defense has to come via trade.

Really looking forward to the draft this friday night.

 

[Nasty_Magician]

Trouba to the Rangers. Let's hope he's Shattenkirk 2.0

 

[Nasty_Magician]

Vegas is already at $83+ in cap. Start hitting up their phones Ray.

 

[Nasty_Magician]

This would help us out tremendously.

 

[CalamityX11]

Bring Taylor Hall back home!

 

[CalamityX11]

Trouba to the Rangers. Let's hope he's Shattenkirk 2.0

damn... lucky ass fools with their extra first....
