new trade idea

The problem with resigning Markstrom, how do you extend Hughes and Petterrsson.

Gotta think those guys are gonna get a huge pay day.



And those are not the only RFAs either.

There'd be 10M coming off in Edler and Russell here, that likely goes straight to pettersson. Somebody gets taken by seattle... either Ferland, Leivo, a goalie or Tanev in this case... that's more money off. The Spooner buyout money is over with.


Demko won't get much of a raise unless he really impresses this year. I don't think he gets claimed by seattle if not.

I'm guessing Petey goes 6-8 years in the range of 9.5M-10.5M... and Hughes likely bridges about 4 years at 7M... I'd like to see what barzal and sergachev get first though, as they are pretty decent comparable to what these two will get

They really need to dump Roussel, Beagle and obviously Eriksson somehow before then.

I agree those are good comparables.
Dont forgot regardless of who is UFA or getting calmied by Seattle... you will still need to fill those holes with players that are not playing for free.

My case is to not resign Markstrom and go get a goalie for 1 year. It's just a good choice.
