I’d rather give up someone else but with that being said if this was absolutely necessary to get konecny I would do it. The only deal I don’t like at all is the Barrie trade. I’d either let kunin walk or trade him for a lower pick. I’d use that cap to sign some like Manson who you could put on our top pairing with josi. But all in all I would enjoying watching this forward group</div></div>

Yeah, not a huge Barrie fan, but NSH could use some additional scoring from the backend. PP2 looks a lot more dangerous now too. I see it as Kunin for a 3rd, and Barrie for a 5th. NSH can choose to immediately flip him too if they want it keep him for a year— this build is just if they decided to keep him. I think they would be able to get a better deal trying to trade him than EDM considering their cap situation.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JeffSkinnerFan53</b></div><div>Serious question: do you think Forsberg re-signs? If so, for how much?</div></div>

Poile is quoted saying he has an 8 year offer on the table for Forsberg, but it hasn't been accepted yet. The longer it goes, the less likely I feel he will re-sign. Although, honestly, the way he ended his last game and his body language on the stage at CMA Fest recently lead me to believe he's already made up his mind to pursue FA. But at the same time, I have no interest in having a $9m+ Forsberg on this team-- oft-injured, streaky player. When he's on, he's amazing-- but this is really the only year he has been a consistent offensive threat. I wouldn't go over $8.5m, and even that seems high. He's pretty much a $7m player that had a career year at the perfect moment and is now trying to cash in as much as he can-- at least that's what it feels like. And it doesn't help that Poile also traded Arvidsson away and let SEA grab Jarnkrok-- they were two of Forsberg's best friends on the team. We'll see, but I'd be surprised at this point if he signs.

That's a pretty bad Kunin trade for NSH-- I'd rather just trade him for a 3rd which I don't think is asking too much. And I could see a team like SEA making that deal for a young forward like Kunin. If not, I'd just keep him.

No need for Wedgewood with Ingram ready to backup Saros. I'm not a fan of adding both Vatrano or Jankrok as we don't need to just sign middle 6 guys when we have younger players that I'd rather see getting a shot-- for instance, all these moves and you put Tomasino on the 4th line? Just doesn't make sense if you're trying to develop him properly.

I don't hate adding Manson as it shores up the RD position, and he's supposed to be a great locker room guy-- but that's a lot of money for a guy I think is nothing more than a number 4 defenseman. And with Jeannot, Carrier, and Fabbro needing new contracts the following season, that deal could make it difficult to get them signed.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>LAkingsfan77777</b></div><div>I didn't watch many preds games this year so I was basing his contract off of his numbers this season, I'm not sure how good he was defensively. I watched every leafs game this year and I've come to the conclusion that Holl is not worth what he's paid and is a defensive liability (merely my opinion tho).</div></div>

Holl's a 3rd pairing defenseman being used as a 2nd pair guy in TOR-- so I think if you dial back his ESTOI from 17.5 minutes a game (this past season in TOR) to around 13-14 and use him primarily as a PK/3rd pair guy, he might have a better go of things. Although I could see Hynes liking him and using him more than he should-- simply because he's big... lol

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>LAkingsfan77777</b></div><div>Not sure how good the preds D is. ik ur LD is stacked w Josi and Ekholm but to me (someone who has barely watched preds games) ur RD I decently weak on paper and maybe not Klingberg but I think that the Preds could benefit a lot from getting a top 4 RD.</div></div>

The problem is that both Fabbro and Carrier probably max out as a 2RD, so they don't have that 1RD right now. Not an easy position to fill though... I'm pretty high on Carrier, but not as much Fabbro-- though he had a much better and more consistent season this past year, so hopefully he can build on that next season.

Sujet: VGK attempt with Smith
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Vegasloveforthebills</b></div><div>Hague can’t be offer sheeted yet. So no worries there. The CBA really hurts younger guys. Vegas has basically complete control. All he can actually do is holdout, but even that needs to end before 12/1. So Vegas can wait him out.

Roy is absolutely the more interesting one, I think if the right package was offered for Roy they would listen, so an offer sheet May not completely scare them. Depends on what they think is the right package.</div></div>

Why is Hague not offer-sheet eligible? He meets all of these conditions:

<em>1. Have at least one NHL contract expire.
2. Have played at least 80 NHL games if a forward or defenseman, or 28 NHL games if a goalie (applies only for players who have 3 years of NHL service).
3. Be younger than 27 on July 1 of that year.
4. Be without a contract for the upcoming season.
5. Be tendered a qualifying offer by the current team by June 25 or the Monday after that year's NHL Entry Draft (whichever is later)</em>

But maybe I'm missing something...

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Vegasloveforthebills</b></div><div>Trades are good. The Lehner one is interesting. Not sure value, but Vegas probably says yes.

If Hague signs a one year deal, it is for basically for 900k as he is a RFA without arbitration rights. And is too young for an offer sheet. That number is probably a 4-6 year type contract similar to Whitecloud.

I think that’s a little high on Roy, I look as Stephenson as his match and max. And he signed 2.75x4 when he was an RFA still. That’s where I believe Roy comes in at as well</div></div>

Meant for it to be a 2 year deal for Hague actually-- I'll update that

But honestly, with Roy and Hauge-- I think they're pretty ripe for an OS, especially Hague. So I could see VGK paying more to make sure they can retain them. And I thought about $3m for Roy as well but just went a little higher to keep him from signing an OS. I could see anywhere from $2.5-3.5m for Roy on a 2-5 year deal, and $1.5-4.25m for Hague on a 1-6 year deal. But VGK will try to keep them as low as they can for now.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>markykins1</b></div><div>I am glad I am not Brian McClellan with the goalie decisions...I am at a loss really as to what's best...I love your forward signings. Not high on NZ but think a 3rd pair like Cole, Lyuabushkin or Gudbrandson would be nice and cheaper. If Holtby, fine but for a million less as they'd have to have room for Wilson's 5.1 in Jan '23 when he probably comes back.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>vikhodush</b></div><div>Cap dump Hags and you get near the money you'll need for Willy when he comes back.</div></div>

His $5.1m will only affect the cap by about half that value, so they should be fine after sending someone down. But next season is a different story. And I thought about Lybushkin as well, but I liked having 3 LHD/RHD here-- though definitely and option if that's not an issue to them. $4m for Zadorov does seem high, but I think he would fit with WSH. I don't think they need to waste the pick(s) it would take to dump Hagelin if his cap hit won't affect them this season-- if he were on a 2 year deal, that would be a different story.
