Quoting: Different_Perspective_85
I like the Ryan trade.
I have no idea what the ask is from Gustafsson or what type of money he'll demand on the market.
Hell No to bringing back Jankowski
Please No to bringing in Shattenkirk
Czarnik won't be back even if the Flames wanted him
Mangiapane will likely cost a bit more (95% comparables signed at 2.85 - 3 / yr)
I doubt Markstrom signs anywhere for less than 5.75-6 mil / yr
Ward loves Lucic too much to pressbox him
for everyone talking about the lineup, the lineup is not a fixed thing, jeez people, players can move around.
There is room for Lucic cap wise and roster wise if need be, but the guy is an anchor dragging plug on this team.
I think Markstrom's market suffered after getting replaced in the playoffs, and his glove hand was totally exposed, I gave term in exchange for salary with him as I realistically expect no team to sign him more than 4 x 5.5
i think Gustafsson had a decent year, after a career season, nobody will risk long term on him.
I looked at Krug and Shattenkirk, and figured a puck mover on the right side would never do too much harm, and he should come relatively cheaply given everyone will attribute his play to being on Tampa, but watching him, the man can skate and has a good sense for pushing the play.
Magiapane, still some room to play around, figured he had his first good season and they would bridge him for the flat cap era, then give him and others his pay day when Lucic was gone.
also, 2 years was to retain him as an RFA
