Elias Pettersson Posted June 15 Share Posted June 15 On 6/13/2024 at 2:08 PM, HKSR said: Yup. But also means we would have him signed to 38yo instead of 37yo. So there's that. Although the thought of Guentzel on a 8 year x $7.875M AAV deal is pretty enticing (equivalent to $9M x 7 on the UFA market). So maybe round to $8M x 8. But... 38yo though... yikes. Guentzel will technically be 37 years old when his 8 year contract runs out. His 38th birthday would be in October. So he'd be the same age as Miller when Miller is done...

Why keep a Gm that says he paid too much? find a Gm that pays the right amount. Yup. Lou should have been fired for getting bent over so bad on the Horfat trade. Hotfat is a proven loser. Surprised any team would give up so much for such a selfish player. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the last 2 years that might be an issue... but that's 6 years from now. Worry about it then. 1 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Horvat is still a good player that is a 30+g 60-70pt. He’s about $1M overpaid. Worth around $7.5M in my opinion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grandmaster Posted June 15 Share Posted June 15 The biggest need of this team is to get a legit top 6 player to be with Petey. Guentzel is priority over anyone else. If not him, we best be going for a trade to get one. There is no one else in the UFA market 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick_theRyper Posted June 15 Share Posted June 15 If we don't get Guentzel I would offer Toffoli a 3 year deal and maybe we get lucky and Lekkermaki can be Peteys RW soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cripplereh Posted June 15 Share Posted June 15 If we can get more cap room I would get Genz and Toff. But I am dreaming as that will not happen. One is worth a shot,maybe bigger trade to get another great player or D. Think we need a lot of work to get to the big show.Tje D needs 3 to 4 and Hronek and Zad seem to want to much.Myers wants to stay for less and I am ok with that.

Oh right still getting used to hockeydb title icons but yeah regardless Horvat is a player you win with but he can only do so much on his own too. Isles have a great 4th line and good line 1, but lines 2 and 3 they’re thinner than the Oilers on depth there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His best years of the contract would be during our most/expected competitive window anyways. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
