The max length that Bouchard will sign for on a bridge deal is 2 years. This can probably be done for under $4,000,000 AAV.

It would be a mistake to pay McLeod that much this year, it will be closer to $1,000,000 on a 1 year deal, cap space is going to be really tight to make impactful moves.

All the rest of the RFA’s will be at $775,000, any more than that is problematic cap-wise. None rate more than that anyways. Philp and Lavoie could make the team, but they won’t be starters unless injury hits.

Bjugstad won’t be back, he’ll get a better deal elsewhere and he proved to be no better than a 4th liner, so these players should be paid under $900 K to make the cap work.

Niemaleinen might net just a 5th, more likely a 6th, but definitely not a 3rd.

Yamamoto will be part of a bigger deal, possibly for EK65.

Campbell is better than Lyon and he had sorted out his equipment woes and his game in April. He was a top 3 goaltender from April onwards. Woodcroft’s biggest mistake in the playoffs was not starting him in Game 6. Campbell is not going anywhere.

Also, never make trades on here with Detroit, their fans are probably the most passionate (and unreasonable) on this site, lol.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>bunnymcfoo</b></div><div>My understanding from friends I have who work for the org is that the Sharks are very high on Cardwell right now, and I doubt he gets moved as a throw in piece before he so much as hits the ice in San Jose.</div></div>

The scouting reports on his actual skill set is meh, but the kid has so much heart and hustle that he just might have a chance….

That’s the thing with prospects, if you are a draft pick, someone is very high on you. If you get signed, then several in the organization are high on you. Just remember he is a 4th rounder (I think), teams tend to value 1,2,3 rounders more, so he is exactly the type of player that could be traded in such a deal. It is far from a guaranteed that he will ever become an NHL player .

But he is definitely impressing hockey people on some level.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>vols94</b></div><div>This is the problem "4th overall pick" If you are assigning value becuase he once was picked 4th over all 5-6 yrs ago that is value only for the Oilers and not anyone else. A pick is valuable as a pick until its made then its a real player who can succeed or fail. JP has failed. If you cant score with the 2 best players in the world you probably are not going to flourish somewhere else.</div></div>

So true, it is so easy to rack up the points with Draisaitl and McDavid.

There is no way that the Finnish GM of CBJ would take that kind of massive risk during a lost season to experiment with reuniting Puljujarvi and Laine. It would be sheer lunacy to throw a away a valuable 5th rounder AND a 4th round pick in case these guys someday make it to the NHL or to use in a trade for a valuable vet 4th liner.

Besides, Puljujarvi, who has never shown any talent on NHL ice, ever (except sometimes last year, but that was last year, so it doesn’t matter) is worse than most players in Columbus, including all the AHL call-ups.

Besides, a change of scenery for underperforming former first round picks never works out, so why should I even be wasting my time replying to people who think like you?
