Sativika Posted June 28 Share Posted June 28 Wow. Nice. I usually turn my TV on as soon as I'm settled in after work. PVR Donnie 'n' Dahli and watch it. But it was on CTV news and within minutes of sitting down in my comfy chair with my favourite hot beverage, they report of this and the Myers signing. Needless to say, big smile on my face. This management team never ceases to amaze me. Ilya and a 2027 2nd along with Lafferty to the Hawks. Had to do it. Even though we retain a small sum to move Mika, it still got us the cap to make these signings. I'm happy we signed these guys. They obviously wanted to. be here. I wonder what management's working on now.......Hmmmm..............Could it be Zadz?!?!!??? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tofu? that has Pearson stank all over it at his age now. It's really tough, there aren't many legit goal scorers out there for us that make sense on term.

RWMc1 Posted June 28 Share Posted June 28 Toffoli legendary for 10 games with us and 7 in the Playoffs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spook007 Posted June 28 Share Posted June 28 3 hours ago, LillStrimma said: That’s one of the few of ways left. Silovs showed he could take some heat with Our defence. Demko could be a trade bait with par example the Leafs ir Oilers that are desperate. If so we get a really good winger and can keep Zad without any problem. It waa kinda how Demko took over the starter position, all be it, he was older... But if management sees a good deal, or perhaps feel they can rely on Demko due to his injury history, or see a deal worth pursuing, just like you say, who knows, if he is in play. Demko is also due a raise soon, so something has got to give somewhere next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not getting any faster as he's getting older. How does he hold up in Tocchet's system? 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lindy to Beantown. Yeah I mean I don’t either but I liked what he brought in the playoffs. What I should’ve maybe specified is hopefully now we know the cap we have to work with to get Z and another top 6 guy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He hasn't done that anywhere else (small sample size, I know, although it was during the end of the season, so usually tougher to score) Just hope if he does come here that we don't go overboard on term.

elvis15 Posted June 28 Share Posted June 28 (edited) I'll take it. While I thought that could have been a position we fill from within for cheaper, I don't hate bringing him back.i was just worried it would be a bit much and he'd regress. Now hopefully Zadorov and another forward (plus Silovs), and then can see if we need further changes during the season. We still have to find some of that magic from the first half of last year, but let's see how it goes. Edited June 28 by elvis15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smashian Kassian Posted June 28 Share Posted June 28 Love this. If played a full season & scored 20+ goals he would've priced himself into the 4M+ market. Nice to get him at this number. Good age & just entering his peak/prime years. Good signing for both sides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bonkers Posted June 28 Share Posted June 28 Damn, it does feel like this management group has a plan, prioritize, keep their mouth shut and executes. I never thought they'd get DJ signed. Amazed! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IBatch Posted June 28 Share Posted June 28 (edited) This one came in exactly where it was supposed to (Myers as well). So far Allvin had shaved 600k on the expected prices (Blueger/Hronek). Thing is, in an open market you never do know. And zero overpayments so far! Made up for the retention on Mikheyev already. Pretty fantastic. Hope he can keep it up. Zadarov next please! Team must be pleased at this too. Edited June 28 by IBatch 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How does he hold up in Tocchet's system? He's not a Tochett type. Absolutely couldn't be found in the Vegas series aside from one game where out of nowhere was in to shoot into a wide open net. The contact is so minimal, he becomes invisible? If he loses his speed further, could be harder to find those easy sneaky tap ins, which are part of his bread and butter.

IBatch Posted June 28 Share Posted June 28 (edited) 9 hours ago, Alflives said: Wasn’t Dhali. Was on the 590 morning show. So a couple Toronto dorks. But the rumours were out there, none the less. Fact is DJ took a hometown discount to stay. So did Bluegar. Now we will see if Big Z and Chaos will do the same. It wasn't a discount. 4 would have been an overpayment, a JB moran type. These guys might be desired by other teams. Some of the numbers been thrown out are just speculation. So far the numbers these guys are getting signed at are two right in where they should be, both an extra year is debatable (Myers and DJ), and two guys below expected market value and one of those we had the rights to still (Hronek). 4 guys signed, shaved 600k off the main list (analytics). Dobber? His list not as bullish on some of our guys. Edited June 28 by IBatch 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iinatcc Posted June 28 Share Posted June 28 13 hours ago, Elias Pettersson said: Why would Silovs agree to a two way deal for $300k? He's an RFA who can be offer sheeted. There are teams out there who might pay him $2 million per to be their starter, or at least a 1B backup... If he if offer sheeted then it's going to be a number Vancouver can match. I doubt he gets anywhere near $1 Million considering his lack of actual NHL games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IBatch Posted June 28 Share Posted June 28 (edited) As for the DJ signing, of all the UFA's, figured we'd be letting him go. Not expecting more than Pearson could do, plus the hitting which is a key part of his game. They aren't love taps. 15-20 goals and intangible's. He would have left a big hole in the lineup...actually think we need at least on more big body if not two upfront. Don't see our fourth line as anything special at all. Need energy PKers in it. With size. Not guys who score 10 goals and don't have size or if they do (Aman), don't use it. Id take a flyer on Wheeler or even Corey Perry, fifth times the charm right?
