beekay414 Posted July 16, 2021 Author Share Posted July 16, 2021 So are we going to leave Siegenthaler or Subban exposed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beekay414 Posted July 16, 2021 Author Share Posted July 16, 2021 Left side is Smith, Graves and Siegenthaler right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beekay414 Posted July 16, 2021 Author Share Posted July 16, 2021 Really wondering if we're going to expose Subban with how weak our right side is. Subban is still a huge name so I could see Seattle taking him for marketing purposes considering it's just 1 year left on his deal. Plus, we just traded a 3rd for Siegenthaler a few months ago so... Inb4 we S&T for Dougie and Graves is his defensively responsible partner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they just take the chance that Seattle won't pick him. I agree that for marketing he could be a solid addition for them 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My order is exactly the same with Edvinsson a very distant 4th. With the addition of graves, this front office certainly has a type when it comes to dmen.... Which Edvinsson certainly fits 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forge Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 Move is kind of whatever. Basically gives us time to sit on the pipeline. He's Andy green at 35 but younger lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The left side is secured for next year IMO with Smith, Graves and Siegenthaler. Now we just have to see what happens with Subban and what we do on the right side.

I don't hate the move, but I don't know that he's good enough that I would have given up the assets for him even though they basically amount to nil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me, that's worth the late 2nd in itself (especially considering we could potentially trade back from 29 and recoup the pick). Maltsev is whatever, never felt too highly about him. Obviously nothing that makes you smile for the rest of the night or get ya giddy but a solid, solid hockey trade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe unnecessary, but I also get it if you'd rather take a chance on him for an asset than bringing back kulikov for a year. It's fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's fine My thoughts are they may not want to keep doing a year-by-year approach with those spots/roles. Both Graves and Siegenthaler are signed through '23 so they can now, if all goes well, prioritize their focus elsewhere for a few seasons. I can understand the year-by-year approach getting exhausting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
