Red Wings 2024 Off-Season Thread

[Shinzaki]

Stamkos 4 years at 8 mil per...for a 35 year old?  Too much

[Shinzaki]

Marchessault also to Nashville 5 years 5.75 mil per.  Perron testing the mkt

[lordstanley]

Nashville is frenzied. 

[lordstanley]

Lindholm and Zadorov to the Bruins. Looks like Perron to Ottawa for 2 x $4mm.

Nashville also re-signed Saros for 8/$7.5 a few days ago.   Crazy.

Ugh Roy to Washington, guess they think they can compete again

[slothfacekilla]

Perron gets 2 years @ $4 million per, liked him on the team but not at that cost

[Hongbit]

The frenzy…

 

[slothfacekilla]

Nashville and Washington going all out right now.  Washington also got Chychrun for our old friend Nic Jensen and a 3rd roundpick

[Mr.TaterSalad]

Matt Roy getting 7 years is 🤢. I like Matt Roy, but that is a deal they are going to regret in years 5-6-7 of the deal. Washington frankly should have hit the reset button and started their rebuild. Instead, they're doing what Kenny did here circa 2014-2017 and trying to fend off the inevitable decline of an aging team with aging stars.

[Mr.TaterSalad]

Nashville adds three huge contracts in one day with Stamkos, Marchessault, and Skjei. How are they under the cap now?

I really was hoping to get Matt Roy, but not on a 7 year deal. I wanted a 4 or 5 year deal at very most. I really think Washington is going to rue the day in years 5-6-7 of that deal when Roy is 35+ and his play is declining.

[slothfacekilla]

I guess Washington really wants Ovechkin to break Gretzky's record

[Shinzaki]

Peron gets 4mil a year?  Wow...seems steep.  Wouldn't mind signing Tarasenko

Ya I liked him around the team but woof that contract.  Which is interesting because I thought they traded Chychrun for not much so they would have cap space to sign Pinto.

[Hongbit]

Maybe Stevie has a big trade that nobody saw coming in his back pocket.

Legit no clue who this guy is

They might be waiting for Trouba to make up his mind to see how much space they have?  Some of these deals are wild so I don't mind them sitting them out for now....

[slothfacekilla]

 

Well there is the goalie partner for Lyon.  I actually am a big fan of Talbot, my best friend is a hockey writer and I get to hear stories about how his interviews go, etc.  Talbot was apparently really cool to him and cognizant about my friend's time.....which usually no one really is.  So I'm rooting for him, had some solid stretches last year too.

There are a lot of overpays and extra years but the cap keeps going up and buyout options do exist down the road.   They have the cap space to make some moves so I’d rather a slight overpay that sit around and watch everyone else get better.    

[Shinzaki]

Cam Talbot is a Wing..2 yrs...2.5mil per...insurance for Husso and his likely trip to the LTIR

Yzerman said he doesn't want to carry 3 goalies again so it should be interesting to see what happens

[lordstanley]

this was from earlier. Leafs fans have no idea how much they’re going to hate OEL. 
 

 

[Mr.TaterSalad]

Lindholm to the Bruins sucks if he bounces back to the player he's been most of his career. It sucks for us as Red Wing fans because he's now in our division on one if its best teams. Every year for the past two seasons I've predicted the downfall of the Boston Bruins and that they'd take a step back. I'm done predicting that now.

[slothfacekilla]

 

Hopefully that means no Goestisbehere...
