5mil feels like a pretty gross overpayment imo. 4mil at the most. Which is slightly more than he's making now. Dude is similar to Soucy. A fringe top 4 guy. If he wants 5mil. Let him hit free agency. A 3rd and a 5th for a rental isn't the worst thing in the world.

And plus, he has friends on this team. If he wants to be part of that, he's got to be realistic. He's not a 5 mil a year D, just as Myers isn't a 6 mil a year D.

We retain $2, a 3rd team retains another $2 (at almost no actual money with how his desk is structured)... Countless examples the last few years.

 

Too complicated...

 

In any event, FYI, as per Rick Dhaliwal, Patrik Allvin will be signing Ethan Bear to a one year one-million-dollar contract in the next couple of weeks...

Happy to see Zadorov as a Canuck. He was actually on my "wishlist" so to speak.

 

Between this and the Beau trade, this feels weird. Like... I feel we're supposed to be getting destroyed in deals... yet we're not....

Feels like we are in a different universe

I'd guess that Zads gets signed for the money that Myers has gotten, and hopefully Myers signs for a bit less than Zadorov is currently getting.

 

win/win.

Can't see zadorov getting 6 mil. Points still matter in what you get paid. He's strictly physical and a decent defender. He makes 4.3 right now. My guess is 5 and term will get him easily

We got obliterated in that Kravtsov trade. Dude, a 7th rounder. Imagine what could have been. And Lockwood, a guy the team we traded him too didn't even qualify. We got so worked over. :hurhur:

Coyotes are looking to add, doubt Crouse is available given he's great value for them on that deal

 

Konecny might be available though 


Konecny - Pettersson - 

               - Miller - Boeser

 

Maybe im getting carried away but that would be insane to build around, especially with Miller and Boeser playing so well.

 Not that depth is ever a bad thing to have, but assuming we do sign Bear and everyone gets healthy, who's the odd man out? Cole?

 

Hughes Hronek

Zadorov Bear

Soucy Myers

Cole

 

Either way, that's as much depth as I've seen on our blueline since our President's trophy days

Great options for Tocchet 

 

Hughes 

Cole

Soucy 

Zadorov 

 

That's the LD right now.. 

Lots of options.. so much depth 

 

Now they'll sign Bear and make RD better..

I agree Zad will likely line up on the left side for now, but when Soucy is back, he'll probably switch to rd

Now let’s somehow add Bear as a depth signing and we will have a legit playoff calibre backend 

I think we aim higher than Bear.  I think we are a legit top 4 D and a legit top 6 winger away from being a real threat.  I also think Allvin can make that happen.  Bear doesn't move the needle enough.

At the trade deadline he would fetch a 2nd round at a very minimum. The fact we got him for a 3rd, and a bag of pucks, along with getting those extra 40ish games with him is a steal to say the least. Hopefully he puts a few of his ex mates through the boards Saturday night!!

Bear is not top 4 imho...he's a 6/7 on a good team.

Rather see cole or soucy in the top 4

 

Not to mention Bear won't even be ready till late April at best. He's not signed, still rehabbing so a few months away. Then has to step in when he's out of shape, etc. He won't have played since the Worlds (April) and won't be able to just step in. He's at best depth for the playoffs

I think we'd be wise to rotate Myers and Bear depending on the opponent. With Myers getting most of the games. Cole has been our 3rd best D-man all year imo. I don't see them scratching him for Bear.
