Thread: next year
Shatty turning down 7/42M from Tampa Bay would indicate, as a Free Agent, he would not sign for just two years. As for Radulov MAN I don't know about wanting to give him 6/36M after just one year. Plus he will be 31 next year so he would be on the books until 37 with 6M cap hit. Pacioretty's Agent would be VERY happy with those numbers as he will be your highest paid forward. Haven't even talked about Carey being the highest paid player on the team. So when all contracts are signed the team would look like:
Carey Price 8+ million per year
Shea Weber 7.8 million per year
Pacioretty 7+ million per year
Radulov 6.0 million per year
Oshie 6.0million per year
Prety 5.5 million per year
Schwartz - 5.35 million per year
Andrew Shaw - 3.9 million per year

That's 50M for 8 guys ha ha

Yeah it's the term that scares me for Shatty. I view both guys a PP specialist and don't really see Shatty as a Top 4 D man so wouldn't want to commit that much term. I hear you on Green being older but shorter term. Detroit not necessarily needing to trade him would need a reason to let him go.

Girardi's contract has been brutal. Love the guys effort to sacrifice his body but he's so slow now and we really are stuck with him for the term of the deal. To me, McDonagh, Skjei, Staal, Holden, Klein are the top 5 and by default Girardi has stayed in the lineup because of contract. With Green that would give us 3 LD and 3 RD again like we had a few years ago (or Girardi as the 7th D-man).

I added Graves in to offer quantity (because we don't have quality prospects because of trading all our 1st over the years.....I realize this trade would also give up a 1st though) and see our D-core remaining the same. Plus, to me our best prospect is Gropp and Shestyorkin.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Bwells</b></div><div>The Mike Green package is excessive. That would fetch Shattenkirk. Also, I don't think you can trade him without retaining.</div></div>

I'm a Rangers fan and my thinking here is NYR can't give Shatty the 6-7 year deal he wants. This way NYR gets a RHD for 1-2 years and it costs them 1) a 1st or 2nd round pick 2) Pirri who can't stay on our 4th line 3) Clenndening who is a 7-8 D man for NYR 4) a prospect. Basically I think NYR doesn't have the quality allot of other teams have in the league when it comes to prospects so they have to offer quantity to make up for it.

Also I get confused with the retaining part at if you look at my NYR team on this site it shows they have 10.1M cap available....so there would be no need to retain if that number is correct.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Philu916</b></div><div>I do agree that moving Fast wouldn't be a horrible idea. I really am against AV scratching Buch, since I truly don't think he belongs outside the top 9. Nash imo also needs to go before he loses all trade value and his cap hit is massive especially when trying to re-sign players. If Gorts feels a top RHD is all this team needs for a run, then keep it in tact with 1 RHD and a minor rental forward upgrade like Burrows, Vrbata, etc.</div></div>

I'm OK with Buch being on an energy 4th line as NYR truly has built a team with no 80 point guy just 4 lines deep.....Next year Buch needs to step up and get inserted in the top 9 for sure though. This summer for Nash, I was thinking maybe STL if they hadn't signed Berglund so not sure where now BUT 1 year left on his deal at 7.8M hit someone might want to take a chance on him.
