Diamonds Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 50 minutes ago, Provost said: Good thing we may have a cheap scoring winger coming up the pipeline that may be ready for primetime in two years! Having one ELC player a year who can come in and replace an expiring expensive veteran is how you keep a window open. At the very least because of it, if they still want to re-sign Boeser they aren’t over a barrel and would have an easier time walking away from a number they don’t like. Leverage counts for a lot in negotiations (which is why Petterson isn’t signing a $10 million AAV max term contract like folks are dreaming about). The Kuzmenko rumour going around I have seen more recently is for Crouse and a 2nd round pick. That sounds like a fan rumor. Unless Crouse has requested a trade I don't see why Arizona would be trading him. He's locked in for another 3 years at 4.3M. Also he's on pace for 30+ goals and 50+ points this year, can PK, and is physical. If anyone is adding a 2nd in that trade it's us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Left Wing Nut Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 I'd like to see us go after Frank Vatrano. He's having career year and going to the all-star game this year. He's getting PK time this year and he's on a contract of 3.65 this year and next. I think Anaheim will be willing to move him, because he's playing too well and they will be looking to tank for Cellebrini. Someone is going to make a play for him if they're smart. Might as well be the Canucks. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coryberg Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 (edited) Before Christmas when this was all abuzz Kuzmenko had 8 goals and 19 points in 30 games. That was a 22 goal, 52 point pace over 82 games. Since then he hasn't had a single point in his last 8 games bringing his 82 game pace to 17 goals and 41 points. Hopefully we can find a team who will take a chance on him because buying him out only saves us 1.5 million.

Hopefully we can find a team who will take a chance on him because buying him out only saves us 1.5 million. He's probs more a 20-30 goal, 40-60 point guy than what we saw last season. I reckon there's a chance he may have just had a career year off the hop, I've seen folks mention sophomore slumps but I dunno, he just hasn't looked like as much of a fit as he did under Boudreau. Hopefully he can do better over the second half if he isn't traded, it's not as if he's lost all his skill, he was simply due for some regression from last season and he's regressed harder than folks probably thought he would.

Yeah I'm seeing his name pop up all over the place now. I really don't see any way he stays in Anaheim. I'd be down for Frank 'the tank' as a lower cost option for a 2nd liner. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rip The Mesh Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 Yah know, this is really tough. I can sort of see him with the Caps but I wouldn't want an almost goon back. I'm afraid that's what it could be. General team toughness is where it's at, IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might as well be the Canucks. Maybe we can see 2 trades take place if the Capitals can clear some cap space. To Canucks: ? To Capitals: Kuzmenko To Canucks: Henrique (50% Retained), Vatrano To Ducks: ? Gives the team many lineup options: Pettersson - Miller - Boeser Mikheyev - Henrique - Vatrano Joshua - Blueger - Garland Hoglander - Suter - Lafferty Mikheyev - Pettersson - Boeser Miller - Henrique - Vatrano Joshua - Blueger - Garland Hoglander - Suter - Lafferty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VegasCanuck Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 If this was training camp still, I'd be suggesting that we try line of: Bains, Pettersson, Boeser Bains has skill and isn't afraid of going to dirty areas and he has enough speed to chase people down on the forecheck. I think Bains would flourish with those 2 guys. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ngoway Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 If Kuz is going to Washington, I could see management pushing for Dylan Strome. Management has constantly said their ideal targets are in that 24-27 age range as they're young, but ready to play in the NHL. We'll of course need to add more, but Dylan Strome centering the second line, or sharing that position with Petey seems to make a lot of sense (if possible). 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, we get their #2 centre for a guy who can barely play a regular shift for us......hmmmm........ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, he's decent offensively, but he's slower than Boeser, doesn't hit, and doesn't kill penalties. Not a player we need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His speed didn't look that bad to me when I watched his highlights. The main thing we'd need is someone who's more offensively skilled. I think we have enough guys who can kill penalties, and I'm sure we could find some other pieces for the third or fourth line that would add more hitting.
