Concerned about how he ages given he's not a great skater, but that deal wouldn't be an anchor You’re right it is solid. Frankly it surprises me a bit. I thought the dollars would be a bit higher. Of course until he signs on the dotted line anything is possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canadian Saint Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 6 minutes ago, Forge said: What salaries do you think you guys would send back? The assumption has been, they want to move Tarasenko's salary to give them space to take a run at Landeskog (if he makes it to free agency, which I doubt).

But because of that, we aren't paying the full freight either. I doubt we were offering anything great in compensation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hockey5djh Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 since you guys were so worried about Ol’ Lou’s cap abilities…Arizona is always willing to eat some cap. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forge Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 Colorado didn't protect landeskog. Huge risk... Can't imagine sakic thinks he's coming back at this point. They gave a team with all the money an exclusive negotiating window Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forge Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 I'm expecting eberle to get dealt when the freeze is over and for Lou to get tarasenko or landeskog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diehardlionfan Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 So Price waved his NMC for the expansion draft. If and it’s a big if, Seattle picks him, he gets to move back to his wife’s home state and they’re far closer to their off season home and the family ranch.

Canadian Saint Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 Ignoring Landeskog and Ovy due to their impending UFA status, there is a solid team there. Kahkonen is a bit of a surprise and if I'm seattle I take a flyer for sure. I'd take guys who can help establish a culture first and foremost. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beekay414 Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 Yeah, looking at the entire list, I think they could draft an immediate bubble playoff team. Won't be as good as Vegas, one would think, but good enough to be in the mix for a spot in the dance. Really going to be fun on Wednesday.

Will be really, really interesting to see what Ron Francis does. I tried to put together a team on Capfriendly but I couldn't decide what approach to take.

Canadian Saint Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 That thread is a solid team from the expansion pool from a coach. Not in love with all the selections, but I like most picks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
