inkman Posted January 14, 2011 Report Posted January 14, 2011 While we suffer through the doldrums of this miserable season, I figured why not have a little fun and see what next season could look like. Vanek(7.1)-Richards(7.0)-Kassian(1.0) Ennis(.875)-Parise(7.0)-Stafford(2.5) Pominville(5.3)-Roy(4.0)-Foligno(.875) McCormick(.875)-Gaustad(2.3)-Kaleta(.9) Myers(1.3)-Sekera(1.0) Weber(.5)-Leopold(3.0) Morrisonn(2.0)-Montador(2.5) Extras: Adam(.6), Conboy(.5)idk?? I tried to be as realistic as possible. Signing Brad Richards, poaching Zach Parise, sending Hecht down to Portland, and letting Connolly, Grier, Neidermeyer, Rivet, and Gerbe walk. Re-signing Stafford, Montador, McCormick, Sekera, Weber. I might be off with some of the contracts, as I don't know what these guys will re-sign for, but I tried to be reasonable. The team should fit under the cap as this roster is apprx $52 mil.
deluca67 Posted January 14, 2011 Report Posted January 14, 2011 Why is Brad Richards worth $7 mil? He is not physical and has scored 25 goals only twice?
Weave Posted January 14, 2011 Report Posted January 14, 2011 Most of that lineup is plausible (if unlikely), but there is no way Hecht is sent to Portland at his salary. He'll be on the Sabres roster if he can't be traded. And I doubt both Kassian and Foligno make the squad out of training camp.
Weave Posted January 14, 2011 Report Posted January 14, 2011 Why is Brad Richards worth $7 mil? He is not physical and has scored 25 goals only twice? Supply and Demand. He is a legit #1 center and they don't show up as FA's very often. He'll command a respectable price.

deluca67 Posted January 14, 2011 Report Posted January 14, 2011 Supply and Demand. He is a legit #1 center and they don't show up as FA's very often. He'll command a respectable price. $7 mil for his production, lack of physical play and age? No thank you.
tom webster Posted January 14, 2011 Report Posted January 14, 2011 Why is Brad Richards worth $7 mil? He is not physical and has scored 25 goals only twice? #1 centers are supposed to be playmakers, not tone setters for physical play although if you can find one that does both, that would be a bonus.
inkman Posted January 14, 2011 Author Report Posted January 14, 2011 Hmmm.... So good, they don't need a goalie (and backup)? Woops...well if they can't fit millet under the cap, which would be close then trade him. The last few cup winners didn't have all world goal tending.
deluca67 Posted January 14, 2011 Report Posted January 14, 2011 #1 centers are supposed to be playmakers, not tone setters for physical play although if you can find one that does both, that would be a bonus. Is Brad Richards a $7 mil play maker? 479 assists in 744 games? At age 30 I would spend my money a little more wisely. I would rather pay $7 mil to Mike Richards.

I would rather pay $7 mil to Mike Richards. I'd prefer mike Richards as well. I just threw $7 mil out there as he is making 7.5 this season. Any better centers would have to be acquired via trade or RFA.
inkman Posted January 14, 2011 Author Report Posted January 14, 2011 $7 mil for his production, lack of physical play and age? No thank you. Why don't you have a little fun with it and put your own roster together? The spirit of this thread was supposed to be filled with hope and promise not criticism and surliness.

Robviously Posted January 14, 2011 Report Posted January 14, 2011 While we suffer through the doldrums of this miserable season, I figured why not have a little fun and see what next season could look like. I like your team, but I think Luke Adam has a WAY better chance of being on the team next year than Marcus Foligno. Also, how are you getting Zach Parise out of New Jersey? He's a legit superstar. (Also, I don't think $7M/season for Richards is nuts at all considering that you always have to overpay for a free agent.)

There aren't too many attractive UFAs this year which really tempers my enthusiasm for the Pegula purchase of the team which begs the assumption of the purse strings being loosened. It's nice to dream of this best case scenario.

shrader Posted January 14, 2011 Report Posted January 14, 2011 He's a RFA, throw 9 million a season at him. You're far more likely to explore the trade route for him. Kassian and Foligno would have to immediately come into discussion there.
Patty16 Posted January 14, 2011 Report Posted January 14, 2011 Kassian a first line NHLer? Hecht would have to clear waivers. Parise has played center a long time ago, but i don't think you sign him to a 7 mil contract and move him to center.
carpandean Posted January 14, 2011 Report Posted January 14, 2011 Hecht would have to clear waivers. And if he doesn't clear?
Patty16 Posted January 14, 2011 Report Posted January 14, 2011 And if he doesn't clear? jackpot baby!!
Sterling Archer Posted January 14, 2011 Report Posted January 14, 2011 He's a RFA, throw 9 million a season at him. The Devils have $50,275,832 committed to 9 forwards, 4 defensemen, and 1 goalie for next year. If someone throws an offer sheet at Parise, they are screwed.
