Core 4 No More: The Motherfucking Off-Season Thread

[Preston]

I like him over Tanev. More of a long-term solution. But 5 years for Tanev is tempting. Could be lovely value.

 

[leafman101]

it's a win for both sides
last year (or two) includes relocating to Robidas Island

or 4

 

[leafman101]

if you are signing Tanev for 5 years $15 mill, may as well sign him for 7 years $17 mill and get it down to $2.4. He's not playing till he's 40 anyway.

 

[Preston]

That way they can get 3 d!

 

[leafman101]

Better yet trade for Tanev's rights and do 8 years $17.5

 

[zeke]

Targetting the right caliber of dmen at least. Hopefully they get the prices right.

 

[zeke]

I don't see florida letting montour go btw.

 

[hockeylover]

Yeah I will say that if they're after Roy, Tanev, Montour, that makes me a bit hopeful.

 

[Leafin']

You guys are spelling Zadorov wrong

 

[leafman101]

Get two of them. RHD are impossible to get, and if you add Walker and Carrier there are 5 legit top 4 RHD.

McCabe-Montour
Rielly-Tanev/Roy
Benoit-Timmins/Lilly

Zadorov brings the snot and denies all blue lines

 

[Preston]

If they can get Tanev's AAV down I'd grab a 3rd guy. I prefer that two of the d that they get are longer term solutions. If they can pay Tanev #4/5 money they may be able to afford a Walker/Carrier and a Skjei as well. And then they're set on d for the next 5 years. And up front you roll with the youth and prospects that are just about ready to produce and hopefully give them Forsling esque value.

 

[Preston]

I like the rumors this year so far better than last year leading up to July 1st.

So far.

If Skinner is still looking for a bag I cand see Chicago giving him 2/14 to ride Bedard shotgun and not do any future cap damage

$2 mil a year for 14 years? Not sure if that's allowed

 

[trujaysfan]

How much front loading can be done on a $15 mil deal over 5 years?

[Leafin']

Lol it’s more likely they do something dumb and give tanev 5x5.

 

[Preston]

Pls no Joshua. Perron will be cheap so that's fine. Debrusk is realgud and an option if they trade Marner or go real cheap on Tanev + only add one other d.

 

[Artnes]

Domi circles back. Seemed like he really enjoyed being here

 

[rent free]

we should sign jeff skinner, additional scoring punch on the lw would be muchly needed
