Just saw this. Apparently I was wrong! The Schmidt deal seemed done last night so I wouldn’t be surprised if something was already in place.
My wife and I talked about that a lot during the playoffs. Seemed very weird they let him walk, especially on such a cheap deal.
Well, he was nearly cut before the playoffs even began that season because he was so bad. He definitely provided a lot of value in the playoffs, though, but I guess the Blues felt it wasn't that important and valued something else on the roster more in their tight cap-crunch of a team. Also, they have (had) quite a lot of young forwards that needed playing time.Capella said:
No other way to do it. Canada wouldn’t even let the Blue Jays come and go, no way they let 7 teams pass. Things have only gotten worse really.
Sounds like they’ll have to attach a premium (2nd-3rd) draft pick to move Tyler, and then will likely get one back for Killorn.
As a bolts fan I am biased but they should have given each team a free buyout. Still pay the guy but it doesn’t count against your cap. Nobody could have planned for this pandemic.
They should have given teams a buyout up to the difference between the initial projected cap and the final one affected by the shutdown.
Man, he is under contract for a long time still and that hit isn't great. Plus, doesn't he have a NTC? So the market for teams who can even take him is probably low, whoever that team is holds all the cards which drives up the price, and then Johnson needs to approve the destination. Just seems like a situation that is going to be really dicey to manage. You guys might have to lose a different, more valuable player.
Also seen people float the idea of offer sheeting Cernak to a 2nd round (2.4 to 4.2 aav) level
We have to trade 2, I’m sure the dominoes will fall soon. I think it will be TJ and Killorn.
Best Lightning reporter has said numerous times they aren’t even slightly interested in leaving, particularly Sergachev.
I would just like to see one of them get the opportunity for a long stretch to grow through any issues, without having to worry about bouncing back and forth between the 9th floor.
@DocInRealLife: As the real Doc makes a firewagon change into retirement, we will all have to maneuver through the quagmire that is the NHL without him. Nothing could shuffleboard more fans into their seats than hearing Doc call a hockey game. A truly legendary career, MY GOODNESS!JaxBill said:
1-year deals lower than they were going to get in arbitration. definitely helps give them some time to see what this team can do with the Hall/Staal signings.
You wonder if Sam tried to negotiate his linemates though before agreeing to that deal.Aaron Rudnicki said:
maybe they could put Skinner on that line instead and get him any pointsAaron Rudnicki said:
Krueger doesn't seem to like Skinner for some reason. I don't get it. I also think Hall and Eichel like to dominate the puck so not sure how well they will work together.
