Sujet: this would be dope
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>herzausstein</b></div><div>Binnington helped to lead his team to being Stanley Cup Champions. Binnington and Saros have pretty similar stat lines so I'd say Binnington is probably a decent comparable. Binnington's price would be inflated by having a cup so Saros should come in a tad under Binnington.


Why is Seattle getting two young players? They can only select 1 and they aren't taking a bad contract.</div></div>

I agree with you 100% on Binnington/Saros. That was my thought process too.

My line of think for expansion selection is that Poile does not want to leave it up to chance. I think he'll actually want to keep Duchene/Johansen or at least not pay the price for Seattle to take one of them. I think Trenin is the most expendable piece out of Sissons, Jarnkrok, Jeannot and Olivier. So I think Poile would use Ingram (good, young goalie to fill out roster or who team) as the sweetener to take Trenin

Just my two cents. I think he could go a lot of directions.

Sujet: Gambling on some pricy vets
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jal</b></div><div>lots of 1st and 2nd round picks from the larger cap hits and maybe some prospects to back fill for years 22 and 23. Interesting concept.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>DirtyDangles</b></div><div>NSH, BUF, VAN are the only ones I see that would need to cough up something good. NJ has the space so I doubt they care if they have to keep Subban. Voracek produces like a top line player still. Tampa won't pay anything for them to take a guy like Gourde or Palat.</div></div>

My point was not to see how much reimbursement Seattle could get for taking seemingly undesirable contracts, but to give these players an opportunity where they are relied on heavily and gambling that they can still produce .

I wanted to create a competitive roster based on the idea that one or two of these guys can return to form.

Sujet: Poile rules
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Luke_xiv</b></div><div>Makes sense and I definitely see your pont here. I'm trying not to be too low on them either, but I think if you'd offer them both by exposing them it'd be even more intreaguing for Seattle to take one of them, since they have the choice. For the Preds getting rid of either one of them (imo preferably Johansen b/c I think overall Duchene is the better player with still more upside) means cap space in order to bring in FAs on better deals.</div></div>

I hear ya. I wouldn't be too upset moving on without one of those two contracts. I just don't think an NHL GM leaves that decision up to chance. I'm sure they have a preference as to who they move forward with if it's not both of them. Essentially, Poile will not let another franchise decide our future. That's my logic anyways.

Sujet: Poile rules
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>AnalyticalGM</b></div><div>I cant see any team offering more than a 2nd and 3rd for Arvidsson, happy with that deal.

Tomasino will be in, Granlund will be back

Grimaldi needs to be flipped for a mid to late pick, it will open up another 2mil

I dont mind losing Trenin, but I'd rather lose Cousins/Grimaldi if they are incorporating picks in the selection process</div></div>

As far as Trenin, I think it's a situation where he may request being exposed for a better opportunity. I think Poile would rather keep the vets around. That's my opinion of what Poile will do. It'd be nice getting assets for the fringe guys, but I think he'll keep the depth. I highly doubt Tomasino plays 82. He'll get eased in this year, add injury replacements to that and I think we'll be happy to have the depth.

Sujet: Poile rules
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Luke_xiv</b></div><div>Out of curiosity, what would you thinkt about exposing Johansen and Duchene and protect another useful player who is on a more team friendly deal? I agree that the Preds will go the 8-1 route in the ED.</div></div>

I'm not as low on those guys as most people. Honestly, I think Seattle would seriously consider either of those guys. I have a sneaking suspicion that Johansen could end up out there since he's a BC guy. He's not super productive, but he'd definitely be one of the best centers available and he'd help Seattle get to the cap minimum lol. Honestly, I think Seattle would be pretty lucky to get either one of 'em. If Nashville does let either guy go, it spells full rebuild and I just don't think that's the route they would or should go. My two cents. No guarantee that full rebuilds result in getting a generational talent like Wright and Bedard are supposed to be. It's simply too costly to be at the bottom of the league.

Sujet: Who needs a Center
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>sensibleguy</b></div><div>Ottawa doesn’t have any incentive to do this deal. Bonino @ $2.4MM for 1 year is fine, but the Sens have a lot of forwards, so to pay a 2nd for an unnecessary player doesn’t make sense. Nashville needs to make it worthwhile for Ottawa. They need to pay Ottawa an asset to take Bonino, and his contract.

Ottawa centre depth with NHL experience
White
Norris
Tierney
L.Brown
Anisimov
Chlapik
N.Paul

And of course they could have Stutzle or Byfield, each would get at least a 9 game tryout.</div></div>

Appreciate the thoughtful response. I guess I got hung up on the fact that Ottawa is payin less for the 4.1mil cap hit, and has an abundance of picks. I do think that Bonino is the one center the Preds have that does not have a prohibitive contract. Ottawa may not be the right fit, but I’m convinced the Preds could get a mid-round draft pick for him and not be forced to sell him off like they’d have to do for Turris or something.
