The Fucking Offseason Thread - Why bother waiting?

[Habsy]

Imagine the media rage if the Leafs got a second Nylander.

It's perfect. Willy could just blame Alex for everything.

A Couple names you might want to keep in the back of your mind

Hawks need to shed some F, and i hear Strome and Nylander could be moved.

I think 2 Nylanders would break the toronto media

 

[zeke]

Kane (30) $7.0 x4yrs
Strome (24) $3.0 x1yrs (+2yrs RFA)
Nylander (23) RFA x4yrs

 

[trujaysfan]

Kane (30) $7.0 x4yrs
Strome (24) $3.0 x1yrs (+2yrs RFA)
Nylander (23) RFA x4yrs

Kane at $5 mil for 4 years would be interesting but the acquisition cost and retention would be substantial.

1st, amirov/lilly, something?

 

[LeafOfFaith]

I've always liked Strome. I'd definitely be down if the price is right.

 

[Preston]

I'm with 101. Tarasenko might be a thing.

 

[Habsy]

I'm with 101. Tarasenko might be a thing.

That's a hefty contract

 

[Preston]

Retention. They're going to trade him and they likely will have no choice but to retain no matter where he goes.

Tarasenko or Kane... outside of acquisition cost who would you rather have

 

[Preston]

Hawks are "going" for it. They aren't trading Kane IMO. I'd prefer him tho.

 

[leafman101]

Kane obviously, but I don't think the Hawks traded their future for Jones and added Fleury and Johnson to trade Kane.

Evander kane... like serivelli suggested was available

 

[trujaysfan]

Evander Kane on the block according to Seravelli.

@Preston

 

[Habsy]

Retention. They're going to trade him and they likely will have no choice but to retain no matter where he goes.

They'll likely have to retain a minimum of $2.5m to make his remaining 2 x $7.5m palatable.

Real money wise it's $9.5m and $5.5m.

 

[leafman101]

Oh. Tarasenko then. Unless San Jose eats a lot of money. Kane at 4 years $4 mill would be good.

 

[Preston]

Evander kane... like serivelli suggested was available

Oh oops. Tarasenko because of the shorter term but if there's a lot of retention then Kane. Player for player and ignoring salaries, Kane is the safer bet.

 

[Wayward DP]

did Saad sign?

 

[Habsy]

did Saad sign?

St Louis

Either way i am assuming retention is needed to get each player to $5 mil AAV.

 

[Preston]

Yeah, I think I'd be good with seeing LOFs reaction to Evander too. Should make for some fun.
