Starting to wonder what dirt Drury has on these guys.

7:43

I imagine it would just be a pick.

No one talks about the Ducks but they have a ton of cap space and a lot of contracts already on the books. Could they be a surprise team for a big name?

Josh Erickson

7:43

Watch out for them in regards to Stamkos, yeah

Good morning. What type of hockey trades could the flyers be working on?

Josh Erickson

7:45

Morgan Frost and Scott Laughton would be my names to watch.

Chip

What’s your prediction for the player who gets the worst contract today? I’m saying Kevin Stenlund. Someone is going to give him a lot more money and term than they should.

Josh Erickson

7:46

Eh, sure? He had a nice regular season, but I'm not sure I see a historic fringe player who had one assist in 24 playoff GP landing a multi-year deal.

7:47

Lindholm and Zadorov will be the cliché answers today, but they're cliché for a reason.

Cabe Tachek

You think Steven stamkos goes to the Preds?

Josh Erickson

7:47

Decent shot, lot of teams in the mix. If I had to give you a percentage, I'd say 25%

Thoughts on the Domi signing? Also where does TO go from here? Obv there is Tanev/another D, but how do they replace Bertuzzi. Also with marchessault likely hitting the market, does this make Vegas pivot to Mariner more?

Josh Erickson

7:48

Good deal for Domi. Like that the AAV was kept under 4. Anything above that would have been an overpay for a guy who's pretty much a playmaking specialist, but damn, is he good at racking up those primary assists.

Knies taking a step forward will help shoulder the Bertuzzi loss. I think they try and sign someone in the $3MM range at LW, just like I mentioned with the Wild earlier. They'll be in on a lot of the same guys.

Mike

7:49

Leafs to pay marner bonus today? Means his actual salary for the final year is less than 4 mil. Let’s start those rumours again. Will marner get dealt today? Figure this is the window before teams spend and use up cap space

Josh Erickson

7:49

And yes, I do imagine Vegas remains interested in Marner. But I'm not sure if it's done today. Reporting around this process has been pretty transparent, and we've got no indication that the Leafs have asked Marner to waive his NMC yet.

Who will we sign and or trade for today

Josh Erickson

7:51

My wishlist, if I'm Waddell:

Second-line LW
3-4 bottom-six wingers
Depth D

7:52

Guys like Malatesta and Pyyhtia are currently projected to be in their NHL forward group. That can't happen. Need to fill out scoring depth, although I'd imagine Gavin Brindley is a strong candidate to make the team out of camp. I don't think Cayden Lindstrom is NHL-ready.

Alright folks, that'll be it for the morning. Time to get to writing. Make sure to follow along... I'll be on all day and getting out coverage as fast as my fingers will let me!
