Something happening soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadDog2020 Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 Slava Malamud @SlavaMalamud"Something" as in something, folks. Not saying he is going to Chicago for sure. Just that it's one of the teams on the radar.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mitico12 Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 I have always had a sense that Shero would make a pitch to the Blackhawks for either Seabrook or Keith. I wouldn't mind Kane either. I would say Kovy (plus 50% retention), Rico, Zacha OR a conditional 1st rounder for Kane and Keith. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarpathianForest Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 Brent Seabrook? I don't know though since they lost Hjalmersson and Van Riemesdyk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anhkheg Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 If its blackhawks, I think we may get Murphy and Panik/Bouma kind of combo for Kovy, mid level pick and/or a prospect. This should be interesting. If Shero can commit a heist then all the props to him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 Slava Malmud has been wrong about pretty much everything on the Kovy front thus far. He also claimed that Boston is going to give Eichel an offer sheet that Buffalo wouldn't match. So I wouldn't really trust him for information. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sundstrom Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 brent seabrook is an awful contract - i wouldn't want him for free. honestly - i don't see a great match w/ chicago in trade - i guess draft picks would be fine but chicago needs to send back salary and there's nobody i'd want.

I don't think they make the first deal either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's basically $8 million plus in dead cap space for four years, and you don't know if the league will let you get away with the LTIR for Hossa's rash. A bridge too far for me.

Dev1965 Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 Is there anything suggesting that it will end today? I mean I guess he's had the weekend to think about it and seeing all the other offers come through, but I don't see any reason why it won't continue with the same back and forth crap for the next few weeks. Just going by one report on Saturday that no decision will be made until Monday. Oh my the drama continues.

Daniel Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 5 minutes ago, Martyisth3b3st said: Isn't Hossa's cap hit 5.75? And physical money, he's only making 1m/year. If we're not gonna be anywhere near the cap ceiling any time soon, why not? But you're also retaining half of Kovys salary which is likely going to be around $6million AAV. So Hossa plus Kovys retained is around $8+ million in dead cap space. I'd really want a real top pairing defenseman to do that, which would almost defeat the purpose since the Devils may not be able to afford a guy like that with all the wasted cap space.

If you're taking the Hossa contract, you shouldn't have to retain any of Kovy's salary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm as annoyed at people who fret about cap space for teams like the Devils as the next guy. Just that much dead cap space for a long time is a lot even for teams like the Devils.

LittleBallofHate Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 Funny, that was my first thought yesterday when I heard Chicago might be interested... man, I'd love to get DeBrincat! I was SO hoping he'd drop to us in the second round last year. I'd do Kovy for DeBrincat, straight swap. But I'm not sure they'd be interested in that since they need cheap young kids to come up so they can afford to keep the older guys on high contracts... Fun to speculate anyway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why the hell would he let someone else be in control of his landing spot rather than waiting one more year and coming back on his own terms? Everyone already thinks he's too old, he'll still be too old next year. Fvck you Kovy. Just watched Rocky IV and we all know who won that one. Go America. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
