beekay414 Posted October 9, 2020 Author Share Posted October 9, 2020 Dominik Kahun - 5x4.25 (I'm willing to take that risk for a 25 year old, 2 way 40 point middle six forward) Slater Koekkoek - 2x2 (Think I take that shot. Not sure what money and term will look like for him) Craig Smith - 2x4 (3rd line goal scoring winger with bump up 2nd line potential if we trade Palms) Corey Crawford - 1x5 (He may want to go to a winner but maybe he takes $$$ from us to split almost evenly with MBW) Bratt-Hischier-Gusev Kahun-Hughes-Palmieri Kuokkanen-Zacha-Smith Wood-Zajac-Anderson Murray-Severson Butcher-Subban Koekkoek-Smith Blackwood-Crawford Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think we're going to shoot our load going after Dadonov or Hoffman. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That may be more palatable for the internal budget. Same for goalie- take whomever is settling for like 1 year, 3.5 mil (could be Crawford, greiss, etc) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're gonna need NHL RWs in 2021-2022 if we don't bring back Palms or Gusev. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beekay414 Posted October 9, 2020 Author Share Posted October 9, 2020 If we can get a legit #2 goalie and another legit LHD along with Kahun and a veteran 3rd line goal scorer, we could be a bubble team next year. We may be bad, obviously, but we saw worse bubble teams this year than that lineup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunter2_1 Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 Shakir looks a really good pick. He's going to fill out more, so he'll be huge and skates well and has good puck handling and a SCUD rocket for a 1-timer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He certainly has some upside, I'm just not as bullish on him getting there as some. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TwoToneBlue Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 14 hours ago, beekay414 said: I mean, Murray was playing on their 3rd pairing. So clearing the $$$ for bigger moves makes sense. There's plenty of 3rd pairing players on the market that will cost less than Murray's $4.6 Million. He was third pair for us more due to injuries/availability and we are one of the strongest teams in the league defensively. I wouldn’t call him third pair quality on the ice. He’s top 4 quality easily when/if healthy. There’s some concern with chronic back issues. Overall worth the gamble of a low pick if you don’t mind the salary combined with injury risk. And like I saw mentioned, if he stays healthy, you would likely be able to flip him for better at the deadline. We just need the cap room now apparently. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why I said it made sense for them to do what they did. If you have a pressing need for defense, you're not going to basically give Murray away. When you have Savard, Werenski, Gavrikov and Jones, there's no need to have a ~$5 Million 3rd pairing dman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
