Thread: D List
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Wqrrior</b></div><div>I understand that, but this expensive cap hit is also preventing guentzel, an actual star player, from having room to come back.

I feel like moving orlov to open that gateway, then signing a 2-4m range dman who is slightly lower tier would be far more beneficial to the team. Sure the defense would be far worse, but keeping a star should always be top priority.</div></div>

There's also some big cap coming off of the forwards. Namely Teravainen. Necas (it's sort of leaning like we'll be trading him) would be gone too. I'm curious if the Canes will do something about the KK deal because that's the worst contract by far, and if you can get that off the books, then it's genius. (A buyout this offseason would mean around 850k for 12 years, but given how the cap keeps going up, that won't be a big concern). It's really just seeing what Jarvis takes, since he could get a Necas-style bridge deal.

Waddell does really well of spending to the cap creatively. We could convince Guentzel to take a small 'discount' (imagine more in the Svechnikov range), but we'll need to see how this postseason plays out.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Wqrrior</b></div><div>i find it kinda crazy that canes fans would rather hang onto orlov on this contract than move it for nothing, resign guentzel and try and find a cheaper d core option. This makes perfect sense for me (tho i dont think pesce is back), but is constnatly rejected by them.

Im intrigued what blues fans think of moving that faulk contract. he might be worth something with retention, but i agree that his value is not strong at 6.5m</div></div>

Orlov is sort of the gateway we're trying to use to bring Nikishin over as quick as we can. Not to say Orlov has been bad and that's why he's been on the 3rd line, our D core is just that deep.

Pesce for sure priced himself out of here, and there's no guarantee for Skjei to resign.

Thread: Random Idea
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>StDetroitBlueWings</b></div><div>Thomas won't be available. Kyrou most likely isn't available but would be more open to listening on him than Thomas. I imagine if this were a scenario to happen, Buch would have an extension in place already. KK is just a negative asset so packaging with a higher end asset in Necas for a top line guy in Buch still shouldn't be out of the question. It's not often a guy like Buch is available and it won't be cheap. Just been seeing a Necas for Buch swap before numerous times and wondered about KK since I feel he needs a change of scenery and could fill the Blues void in a decent 3C role (possibly move to 2C if desperate enough before Dvorsky is ready).</div></div>

I could agree on that, Buch would definitely need an extension for that kind of trade. I'm probably just looking at things a bit differently. Then again, I guess it's all just how GMDW does his trades.

Thread: Depth
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Timmah007</b></div><div>I like it but have a small concern. I’m not overly familiar with what ever happened in the past but doesn’t have a great track record of being good in the dressing room. Maybe that’s unfair to say. I’m ok with the gamble just as long as holland does his research first. If a guy is going to be around the team but not really playing I’d much prefer he brings an accepting personality to the role. It’s gotta be tough to sit and watch your team play and carry a smile. That’s a small but important component in my opinion.</div></div>

Nothing really came out of the locker room saying he's a cancer for the Canes (that we know of), especially for his first year. The worst trouble he got in was just accumulating a couple of garbage time misconducts and a embellishment fine since they were stacked up.

And now's your chance since he's up on waivers, lol
