LGR4GM Posted March 17, 2022 Report Share Posted March 17, 2022 Scott Mayfield really intrigues me as a player. Big and powerful but seems to be more of a stay at home safe guy from what others have said. Seems perfect for Power. I also might sign Blackenburg and give Power at least someone in the org he knows even if he ends up as a AHL guy (most likely outcome). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flashsabre Posted March 17, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2022 All things being equal I would rank them: 1) Letang 2) Dumba 3) Klingberg 4) Gudas 5) Mayfield/ Gudbranson/Jensen Letang is the grand prize but for him to even think of signing here it would take a huge overpay. He is still at the top of his game and would really help Power develop. Dumba is 27 and has 1 year at $6 million left. He would take assets to aquire. With the dead cap coming in Minny he could be available. Talented dman that would make a formidable duo with Power. Klingberg will be 30 and a reason they say Dallas wants to move him is because he wants 7-8 years term. If you could get him for 4 years it would be great but sounds like he wants much more. Gudas might be a cap casualty this summer in Florida. Nasty player who takes care of his end and would allow Power to roam. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flashsabre Posted March 19, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2022 https://www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/stats/pdisplay.php?pid=169620 Preds just put Philippe Myers on waivers. Big, physical RHD 25 years old. Interesting name to claim and take for a test drive especially if other d are moved. Making $2.5 which might scare teams off. Interesting guy to claim and see if he is a fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are able to get better options than buffalo could always put him on waivers or send him in a trade. Definitely worth the risk.

I am not saying he is the answer to be Power’s partner but rather a rhd for free to take a look at as depth anyways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clarke, Faber, Grans gives them 3 young RHD for the future. I like Johnson but I wonder what he thinks looking at Dahlin, Power, Samuelsson and even Bryson on the left side. I think he can play the right side but he may think there are a lot of other teams out there where he would have an easier path to the NHL. If he is not all in on signing then he is a good piece to swap for a young RHD that can add to the backend going forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GASabresIUFAN Posted March 20, 2022 Report Share Posted March 20, 2022 Should we be worried that Power has only 1 pt (an assist) in his last 6 college games? Is he just tired from playing for 3 teams this season? Is he hurt? He has looked fine defensively, but he doesn’t seem to be playing with his same attacking style.

My biggest takeaway from last night’s game was that Power was not up the ice attacking. That would come from the coaching staff who probably want to play safer with it being one and done with the tournament. He might also be hurt or tired from the Olympics. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exhaustion, playing for 3 separate teams in the past 5 months can't be easy; not to mention needing to go to China 2. Nagging injuries, likely lower body but not serious enough to take him out of the lineup. 3. With parts 1 & 2, coaches are having him play a more defensive role seeing as they still have Hughes. It's the luxury of having multiple high end Dmen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think that a lot of people realize how good he is because he is a defensive defenseman on a bad team. Although I recall hearing recently that he wanted to stay in NJ and was interested in working on an extension with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
