If Vinny can be moved at the draft or before July 1 would anyone be interested in Iginla. Boston might not be able to sign due to cap and other deals they need to make. COuld be option on giroux wing for a season. I know bonus overeage but maybe something like 1 year 3 million.

Any thoughts?

I think he can get at least 4-4.5 somewhere else. I know he's old but he's coming off a 30 goal season.

If the Flyers signed a player like Iginla, it wouldn't be for the checking line. It would be to play with Giroux.

Hmm

Schenn-G-Jake
Read-Couturier-Iginla
Raffl-Laughton-Simmonds
Bellemare-UFA TBD-Akeson or Rinaldo

Could do worse than that and if Laughton is not ready, Schenn could slide to center and Raffl could go with G and Jake

Michael Raffl, as much as I like him, should not be our best hope for top line winger. Yes, he had a stretch where he looked good with them (who didn't?) but right now, he's a bottom-6 winger.

I think he would be a good fit as you don't need a long term commitment like Moulson, Vanek, cammellari will. Only guy I would be ok commiting maybe three years is mason raymond.

And for 6 years. I smell a buyout in in 3-4 years.

If the money is right he'd probably sign a one year deal. But 3M is not the right money.

I really hope Hextall takes a look at some of these guys. Maybe low risk moves that could pan out.


Andy Miele - 26 - 72 points in AHL, was a solid prospect.
Zach Redmond - 25- defenseman
TJ Brennan - 25 - hasn't played to potential yet, low risk/high reward
Jeremy Welsh - 26 - forward
Brian Gibbons - Could be solid 4th liner and PK, fast with some edge
Devon Setigutchi - Was a solid player- maybe a 2nd line wing if Vinny is moved.

Just trying to see what can be done with the limited cap and not for a long term. I read names like moulson and vanek and cammy but I don't want to make the length of the commitment that they might want.

UFA D get paid

It's getting borderline ridiculous, these #4-5 guys getting close to 5M

As long as MacDonald plays well, as salaries escalate over the next few years. Some opinions are going to be changed from bad deal to good deal for MacDonald.

I think Setoguchi could be a really solid acquisition... He has a ton of speed on the wing and can pot goals in bunches.. Its been a tough few seasons for him, but he is still young and his speed is still way above average.

Brennan is intriguing for a few reason.. One, he is a local kid. Two, I saw him at Ice Works not too long ago.. CRAZY shot. Three, I really think he could be a late bloomer. decent size, good skating, good offensive game... hopefully he can make a NHL career out of it..

He was their 7th guy in terms of TOI/G. But he'll probably be a second pairing guy in Edmonton.

Other than Ference, their defense was putrid.
