@Beatstimz@dstew44@EricMacramalla That’s what happened with Monahan and MTL still found someone to take him for a 1st rounder AND he ended up with a massive deal in CBJ as a UFA.
@kkthedj2000@dstew44@EricMacramalla Are you crazy. He’s only 25 and there are teams desperate for centre help (WPG/LAK/PIT) that would absolutely give up assets for Dach.
He’s 9 years younger than Coyle who just got a 6x$6M. Someone is giving up a late first (or protected 2027 1st)for Dach if MTL moves him
@HG_too_old@mikemcintyrewpg So many teams have a need for a scoring winger + cap space to burn that he’ll probably end up with a 1-2 year deal for $5M.
Crazy? Yes. But likely inevitable. If he’s making 15% of his current salary 32 teams are offering that contract.
@ToddLewys@nhlburnerboi Salomonsson? THE Salomonsson who has less than 40 games of NHL experience and just had major shoulder surgery? That’s the guy you’re counting on as 1RD for the next 2-3 years?
@NikLynam If anything he probably wants to move east. The Metro is in major flux and it might be the easiest path to the Conf final. Who’s ascending & has a need?
PHI (Michkov healthy scratch)
BUF
CAR - maybe the missing piece for a Cup?
FLA - need a G if Bob leaves
@NikLynam How can I answer “none of the above” @WPGMurat
Where’s the option for the “I’m disappointed they didn’t go full tank after the deadline and deluded themselves into thinking they should make the playoffs”.
@NikLynam That non-answer probably means that he is making calls to see if candidates claim they can squeeze more juice out of this core. If there’s a coach out there who he thinks can do that instead of making major changes they’re getting the job. Arniel recognizes they need more talent
