steveoath Posted September 7, 2021 Report Share Posted September 7, 2021 So Kotkaniemi goes to the canes. And my mind starts thinking 'what if?' We still have our Rasmus to sign, loads of cap room so I'm not worried. However, I glance over at our expansion brothers out west and wonder if Adams would be audacious enough to try to offer sheet EP. They have roughly 13M (afterLTIR) in cap room to sign EP and QH. Would you try for either in Adams' situation? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalonill Posted September 7, 2021 Report Share Posted September 7, 2021 (edited) Hopefully we go long term but I wouldn't blame him if he wanted out in a couple of years . I still can't believe they Waved the white tank flag and are ok with casey and Cozens as 1 and 2 centers That just has disaster written all over it Edited September 7, 2021 by Buffalonill 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weave Posted September 7, 2021 Report Share Posted September 7, 2021 Would absolutely love if they used all that cap space to fill a hole with a major talent, but this team ain't gonna be put on the ice to win this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you try for either in Adams' situation? It's interesting but I would suggest not this season. We would be giving up an unprotected 1st as part of the package. If we added Peterson I still don't see us having a great season and there are some great prospects coming in the next draft. Example: signing between $8,221,464 - $10,276,829 requires 2 First Round Picks, 1 Second Round Pick, 1 Third Round Pick. Over that amount requires 4 first round picks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Used all of it? I’d be happy if they just used some of it on goaltending, other than Grandpa Anderson, Beer League goalies Tokarski, Houser, and Dell, and “not ready for prime time” UPL. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoss Posted September 7, 2021 Report Share Posted September 7, 2021 (edited) No to both. We could try to trade for Pettersson but our firsts are far too valuable to give up four of them in an offer sheet.

kas23 Posted September 7, 2021 Report Share Posted September 7, 2021 In essence, this is the same as trading away picks. Can’t see us doing that considering we are trying to do the exact opposite with Jack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarthEbriate Posted September 8, 2021 Report Share Posted September 8, 2021 Our first-round picks the next two seasons are as close a guarantee to top-10 as there is, regardless of any single skater (non-goalie) out there. This season in particular we are gunning for a top-5 pick based on the goaltending. Don't forget, Granato isn't running a veteran Blues-trapping lineup where a rookie like Binnington would come in and put up electric numbers. He's going with the offensive, attacking, let-the-goalie face some odd-man rushes... for our viewing entertainment. But none of the current 'tenders are Hasek (although Anderson's career overlapped with Hasek). Don't give up the multiple top-10, cost-controlled picks for an Elias Pettersson or Cale Makar, because they aren't singlehandedly turning this thing around. Not with the next couple drafts coming up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dudacek Posted September 8, 2021 Report Share Posted September 8, 2021 Wouldnt offer sheet Pettersson but I would love him as an Eichel trade target should his Canuck talks sour. Laine/Dubois Subban/Weber type trade. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
