xault 272 Report post Posted July 1, 2017 I don't want the wings to sign anyone honestly. I would be ok with Kulikov and Yakupov short term 2 years max. Maybe get lucky and one of them changes their careers around. As doubtful that maybe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dominator2005 558 Report post Posted July 1, 2017 My feeling is a longterm 3-4 years for Daley between $3-4M per season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
krsmith17 7,191 Report post Posted July 1, 2017 I hope Holland stays out of the free agent frenzy today, but if he HAS to sign a player, I'd like it to be a young reclamation project, rather than an old, washed up vet. People have already mentioned Yakupov and Grigorenko, but what about Ryan Murphy? He hasn't done much at the NHL level, and was just bought out by the Canes. He's still young and could be a low risk, high reward signing. He may not be any better than anything we currently have, but if that's the case, we can just waive him. I'd offer any of these guys a one year, "show me" contract. Sure as hell beats signing one of the rumored vets to a multi year contract... 4 PavelValerievichDatsyuk, frankgrimes, e_prime and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also would like to see Kenny pull the trigger on a guy like Trevor Daley. Those 2 would certainly help our D on both ends. And let's be honest, defense is by far our biggest weakness.

TheDetroitRedWings 286 Report post Posted July 3, 2017 Anyone know if we have any interest in bringing back Thomas Vanek? I really haven't heard much about him since free agency began. Even tho he was basically just a powerplay specialist for us, I'd like to have him back at the right price. It's pretty clear that he liked and fit in well with our system. He was putting the puck in the net with much more regularity here, than he did for the Wild or the Panthers. If his asking price isn't too crazy, I'd really like to see him back in the Winged Wheel on a 1-2 year deal. 1 robb himself reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andy Pred 48 337 Report post Posted July 3, 2017 Kovy could be the marquee signing for the new arena, just how could Kenny pull that off and ive heard the door isnt fully closed on a Vanek return. Kronner on Ltir @ $4.75m plus trading either n/m @ $4m+ =$8.75m + Kovy in at $6.5m and Vanek in at $2.25m ? only thing there is unless the Wings expose some senior guys on waivers then we are stopping the kids from getting on the roster, although the above in theory would make us alot better than last year, as i cant see Nik playing alot this coming year.

I actually hope we do sign Vanek to another 1 year deal, because I feel if we did Holland would be more likely to make a trade for a d-man. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Compensation is two 1st round picks, one 2nd, and one 3rd. If you believe we are rounding a corner this may really be the time to do it. The first round picks are the real loss, but they might not be high firsts anymore, especially if Pettersson is on the team. Vancouver would seriously struggle to match this offersheet and also keep Quinn Hughes. I'm 100% for this... but I don't see SY bucking the unwritten rule here... I simply don't think he'd think it was honorable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You could draft 2 Petterssons with those picks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

krsmith17 7,191 Report post Posted July 29, 2021 7 hours ago, Scott R Lucidi said: We need more than just Pettersson. Agreed. A Pettersson offersheet doesn't make much sense for this team right now. It's not worth 2-3 1st round picks (1-2 potentially top 5-10 picks, maybe even top 3). I think you can get a Pettersson caliber player in the top 3-5, especially the next two drafts. Wright and Savoie in '22, and Bedard and Fantilli could all be Pettersson level. I'd wait until after this season to explore a potential offersheet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
