Yeah Dallas isn't moving him.

He was banged up all year.

Only real player to show up vs Edmonton in WCF.

Andersson on his list:



Uh no thanks to that Rielly contract.

Rielly has negative value. If he's part of any Ras trade, the price goes way up, not the other way around.

So if they want to send the Carlo package ++ for Ras, then bring it on.

Bourque is an RFA, probably won't command much but they need bodies.

All the UFA's will be gone, other than maybe Benn, but is he taking league minimum?

Seguin probably isn't tradeable.

They could try and ditch Dumba and Marchment to create cap space. Helps this year but Harley and Robertson are up next year.

They are going to need to retool for a year or 2. That Carolina selling Rantanen for futures trade is looking some good now.

With Marner gone, the Leafs have $27 mil in cap space. They will be adding without moving guys out. IMO they will be looking at buy low wingers.

Tavares will re-sign
Knies and Robertson will get more ice.

They also could look at a 3rd line center too.

I doubt Rasmus ends up there.

That's to replace 7 guys though. Knies and Tavares will probably take up 18M.

I would bet money that they come in less than that. If Tavares wants $11M again, they should walk away.

[traptor]

Mercer on the board. I wonder if someone like Pospisil + a pick is enough to get it done.

Marchment is a tough player to decide on. He brings good physicality, energy and scoring in the regular season, but then he always underperforms in the playoffs.

I would move him as the Stars have no chance of filling the roster with him. If they want to keep Robertson, he has to go.

Robertson would bring a good return so I would trade him too and retool for a year.

I'd keep Pospisil though. Mercer lead all devils forwards in PK ice time. I think he would be a good fit though as long as we don't pay too much and move out other forwards for quality retuens. Mercer got almost 18 mins a night so would need to play him that much or close to that many minutes to give him a chance.

Zary/Mercer trade might make sense for us. Not sure they would think that though.

Could the Flames get an asset for taking Seguin? NMC is probably the biggest complicator...

Nope, flames want to get younger not older.
I could see him as a fit for Edmonton or someone on the cusp.

Calgary won’t be UFA shopping, especially not big names.
Young, cost controlled assets.

Not just attracting talent, but retaining talent. For example, I have my doubts that Draisaitl would have signed on long term without the prospect of continuing to play on a team with McDavid. The same could be said for RNH.

As for free agents, Hyman is the best example, but Kane and Perry reportedly had other offers. There were also Lucic and Barrie when they were still hot commodities. The prospect of playing with McDavid was likely a big factor in choosing Edmonton.

I could see Buffalo using some assets to grab Robertson.
Power/Byram for Robertson??

I like this idea, I could see him being a great fit for 4-5 years.
26 yrs old. Bahl with slightly better offence.

We could run next year with:
Hague - Weegar
Bahl - Parekh
Wrangler - Pachal
Bean

VGK would probably be happy to get the contract off their books prior to July 1 so they can gun for Marner. Offer them a 2nd & Miromanov for Hague, or we try an offer sheet.

[Niemo]

I don't think we do anything to help Vegas sign Marner since we have their 1st next year.
Hague is ok.

Would the Rangers trade the 12th OV + 2nd next year for Raz is my question? No way the Rangers want to be a lottery team next year.

I totally agree with the thought that McDavid is helping attract and retain talent for Edmonton, 100%! I'm also aligned that building through the draft is a real strategy.

However, I'd caution against extrapolating any benefit the Oilers are seeing re: McDavid to just any top 3 pick. They got lucky in the right year. I don't think they'd be seeing the same benefits had then ended up with Eichel that year for example (and I think Eichel's a great player) instead of McDavid.

I doubt Robertson gets traded. His cap hit is a steal at the production he brings. Maybe when Robertson's contract is almost up they will trade him, but they have a NOW window and Robertson is one of the last guys that would be on the block. I think they'd try and have Seguin waive his NMC before doing anything with their top end players like Robertson, Johnston, Hintz, and Heiskanen.

Not with 2 years left. Maybe 1 if they were willing to give up a first +.

But I doubt he waives anywhere.

Mercer is an absolute beauty who might not be being used properly in Jersey, but he would pop big time if given a chance on a different team. I would definitely pay up to nab him.
