What kind of raise is Pionk looking at? I'm definitely intrigued (although Horton isn't an issue, and we don't gain anything by dealing him)

Probably a two year deal somewhere between 2 and 3 mil, EvolvingWild says 3.2 but that seems absurd (he's not great)

I would switch Vesey and Strome

No need to take on Horton's contract for us as it has no effect on our cap situation. We'll take Pionk for the second.

Pionk for 2 years around $1-2M.

In my books something like 3 x 3,5-4M as his first tryout contract after ELC.

it's just less of a headache and a sweetener no? id rather not take him but like a island for him to run out.

way to much. he's still in a pretty raw defensive stage.

If thats so, signed

wym? value wise? location?

done deal?

I'd have zero issue signing him to a longer term 4/5 year deal around 3-3.5? I think although with question marks defensively, he could really flourish alongside a guy like Muzzin. Maybe a 1/2 year bridge to get past the Marleau deal makes more sense though. Am I off base at all?

that'd be pretty good. he played with Marc freaking Staal so maybe that could help him a ton. contract details are fair. Pionk would be a good fit in Toronto.

mostly location, don't think EDM is eager for a reunion with Strome and Vesey would be a better fit imo

Well I saw a Oiler fan say he wants stroke back on another post and the Blackhawks were a player for vesey back in 2016-2017 when he made his decision.

ADA 5 years $2.85M? I wish but it’ll be in the $4M range

don't sign Pionk to that yet. smarter to bridge especially for Toronto.

lmao I meant Strome*
