The Fucking Offseason Thread - Why bother waiting?

[Leafin']

Do we see Nash back for cheap? I remember some here pretty happy about him as a 4th line Center.

 

[CH1]

This team has been pretty great for the majority of the last 5yrs.

yet most Leaf fans I know are miserable when the topic comes up.... so again kudos to you for keeping your perspective

Yeesh. The right side of that D is fugly.

Yeesh. The right side of that D is fugly.

Free Agency can address that.

Playoff team with ease in the Pacific

Dougie Hamilton fixes many things

And Carey Price makes all his D look better.

For sure. They'll have a fuckton of cap space to work with, and plenty of trade chips. I was moreso thinking about Justin Holl, and how appealing he'd have looked if those are the best RHD's on offer in the expansion draft.

 

[LeafOfFaith]

Daydream believer.

 

[MyNameIsJonas]

Seattle should absolutely be all in on Hamilton, overpay by a fair amount if need be

 

[MindzEye]

They could take that team and sign Dougie, Landeskog, and Danault/Krejci still.

Assuming that they take the roster previously mentioned and have 28 million

- Sign Dougie 9mx7
- Sign Ryan Suter 5mx2
- Sign Nikita Gusev 2mx1
- Sign Danault 5x5
- Sign Tatar 3.5x3

JVR-Gourde-Gusev
Tatar-Danault-Zucker
Kerfoot-Jarnkrok-Donskoi
Donato-Appleton-Blackwell

Gio-Dougie
Dunn-Suter
Zadorov/Whoever-Stetcher

Driedger
Kaapa/Vanacek

Lacks in star power up front, but all 3 lines are competent offensively and there's probably a really nice PP1 in there to be found as well. The 2nd and 3rd lines are both shut down type lines that would be hard to score against.

Dougie & Suter would turn this into a very good top 4. Driedger might be a stud...we'll see

That team could win the west.....ffs

and it would have a lot of space left...5+ million anyway.

You're really trying to wish this one into existence eh?

you know I have zero hope Seattle will pick him

Zero?

 

[mbow30]

one thing that distinguishes vegas from that seattle roster is age.

vegas landed a bunch of fast skaters who were all under 30. all the top guys seattle is expected to take are 30 or older this year.

 

[CH1]

Zero?

0.06 if you want to get all precise about it

 

[zeke]

Even if they take McCann I think we still deal dermott for forward help/capspace.

 

[LeafOfFaith]

Possibly. I feel like someone else might be the sacrificial lamb (Lilly).

Still also think we'd be kinda dumb not to trade Muzz right now.

sell high!! only 5 points of upside left
