Smith has put up really nice numbers, but he's also been gifted really easy minutes--looks like a high end 3rd pair type. As to why Detroit would want to move him, my guess is they think he's going to want to get paid more like a 2nd pair player than 3rd pair when he's a UFA after next year. Put differently, they don't plan on having him beyond next season and figure to maximize the asset by trading him now. I'd assume they want to make a hockey trade with him, not a sell move.

Asking price for Brandon Pirri looks like a second round pick or mix of mid-rounders. NYR, EDM in the mix. Likely moved next 24-hours.

 

Per Travis Yost.

 

The Sabres have an abundance of mid rounders.

 

RFA

I'm in! Replace McGinn's production for 1/3 of the price.

I don't know if I would have any interest in Pirri. It's known that he's 100% offense and abysmal in his own end. This will be the second time a good team decided they couldn't have him in their lineup. Florida is all-out buyers and selling him off. Hm...

This is basically how I feel about McGinn. Difference is you can probably get Pirri for a million per year for two years, while McGinn is going to get $3 million for 3 years. Pirri is a great stopgap because he's completely disposable financially if/when something better comes along.

I think Pirri will get slightly more than that but he's a controllable RFA so it'll be more cost-effective than McGinn. McGinn will probably get more than what you mentioned which is a travesty.

Waiting for the other shoe to drop sucks.  And I don't want anything short of Forsbacka Karlsson and a third or their 2nd round pick back for McGinn from Boston.

Let's not forget about Nail Yakupov. Oilers were busy yesterday moving out Purcell and Schultz. Seems to be developing interest in Yak.

Custance says Tampa is active today

I have lukewarm interest in Yak if the price is cheap (I stress lukewarm and cheap). Basically I'm pretty interested in value and upside for wing additions going into next season, while spending the real money/assets on the blue line. Yakupov fits the bill.

According to an NHL source, Sami Vatanen wants a 6-yr deal worth $6 mill per. Ducks not doing that now and are listening to trade offers.

 

He's a righty

 

:(

Edmonton should be all over this

I really hope we end up packing all these mid draft picks for something better

I have officially started a bandwagon for "acquire 2017/2018 picks" to use when we're actually buyers this time of year. You're welcome to join.

The Ducks could really use a Yak, or a RNH to replace Kessler at the end if this year; He's a UFA I believe

2nd round picks seem to be a very useful trading tool. I'll ride shotgun on this
