Rumours, Innuendos and Flat out B.S.: 2021-22 Edition

[GEEMAN]

I don't see Vancouver doing that... and really... Suzuki feels like the safer play even if Elias has the higher ceiling.

Elias already has bad body language when you watch him play

I dont think he is mentally built for Montreal

 

[Sal_Butera]

If there wasn't the contract situation, I would strongly think about it.

However, Pettersson's got us by the balls if he doesn't want to stay here.

Let's say he doesn't want to stay here, he'll be an RFA in 30 months. He'll get a nice $10M qualifying offer, he'll take it, then he'll hit free agency.

So I would keep Suzuki.

What would “Mister Gorton” say?



“I’d prefer to think positively”

 

[WeHaveMoreCupsThanYou]

I'd rather keep Suzuki and trade Gallagher to Vancouver for Horvat.

Media talking heads are speculating that Allen will be moved.

They said the youngin’ Primeau is coming into his own. Credible? I haven’t been following at all.

Get to work Gorty, you have the entire roster to play with.

Waste of space , wants big money and is almost 30

By the time we turn this shit around his contract is another albatross

Unless they are taking our crap contracts in return , hang up the phone

Swap Price

Swap Price

We are on the same page , but they dont have goalie issues

 

[lecoqsportif]

Gorton has to balance eating salary versus age.

That’s how bad it is.

Gorton has to move and do everything possible to put this team back on track

No patch half ass band aids and don’t worry if it’s 2 steps back for 3 forward or pissing off anyone

Retain salary , move vets , overpay draft/development staff , etc...

This is ACL , PCL and torn patella surgery not a walking wounded knee brace

 

[lecoqsportif]

Sure, but I balk at eating 50% of Price’s cap space. That would hurt the rebuild.

 

[MON4NHLTOR4MLB]

Disagree. Eat it and get more assets for it, by the time we’re ready to compete and spend again that money will be off anyway

 

[GEEMAN]

no it wouldnt if you are adding prospects, youth and draft picks

Every transaction your netting a piece or more

Lets say Avs choke again and goalies stink in the playoffs

31 is not going to stick around for 4 years with this shit show

A healthy and mentally engaged Price in the summer might net you any combo of Girard, Barron , first rounder , cap filler etc...

Same goes for Petry and Gally .....keep adding to the asset base

Retaining even 10 mil is a spit in the cap bucket since we wont be spending and continue dumping for years

 

[MON4NHLTOR4MLB]

Also, a healthy Price motivated to win a cup at just 5 Mill is ridiculously tantalizing for some teams in need

Exactly , it takes 1 team to look at last years playoffs and say , fuk he can do this for us .

Avs and Oils at 50% retention is very doable

 

[GGpX]

Price won't be moving anywhere if we don't take 50% of his salary.

And the second problem is, is Carey Price good right now? We haven't seen him play in over 6 months.

Edmonton & Colorado are the logical destinations, especially at $5.25M. Colorado has Justin Barron that I like a lot, Edmonton has Xavier Bourgault.
