As much as I like to pick on Pecse, he's not a bad player. Little slow at times and seems to get lazy getting back sometimes. 

That said I doubt you find someone to match his contribution but I also wouldn't mind more speed! Also, can't spend Aho's money on Brett.

That is good news because I would like to retain  Pesce.

I’m just worried Waddell is going to do what he does every time and lowball Pesce.

This, this is why we actually need the cap to have increased like it would have. We wouldn’t even have to worry about spending an extra couple mil to keep a core player. Especially in this absolute trash UFA year.

You made some very good and valid points.

I'd love to see him back, but his deal can't cost us Brady or Chatfield.

In my opinion, Chatfield is the better defender with more upside, especially speed. Brady faded hard at the end, not sure if he had an undisclosed injury. Pesce, to me was our weakest defender. Ghostbear will command a large payday, so I am not sure we can retain his services. We could be down 2 defenseman.

Brady and Pesce aren’t up until next offseason. That’s why they want to extend Pesce now.

Yes but the article states he will be traded if an extension is not reached.

That's because he won't have any trade value as a UFA.

Just extend the guy. He's making $4M. One of the premier blue-liners in the league, Jacob Slavin, is making $5.3M. An extension for Pesce shouldn't be anymore than $500k per year AAV.

Here are all the righty defensemen who are UFAs right now. Pesce had more points this season than all but 1 of these guys:

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By WhoKnows · Posted

      Seriously? You think we might have 4 or even 5 starters the next couple years from last year’s draft? Wallace and Legette were starters because of injuries and no good depth. We’ve already resigned Thielen and drafted TMac. I’d be shocked if Legette isn’t WR4 (snap/target/production wise) behind those two and Coker. I’m not Sure if Wallace will stay a starter with Rozeboom. Smith-Wade might be the likeliest starter for now because we didn’t draft a CB. We’ll see if he sticks. Sanders may also start but the starting TE is like being the tallest midget. We’ve had about 500ish receiving yards from TEs each of the past 3 years whether it was Thomas/Tremble or Tremble/Hurst or Tremble/Sanders. Honestly, if Evans can stay healthy, the fact that he can actually block (unlike Thomas who sucked but was called a blocking TE) and catch could make him the best starter we have at TE. Also, Brooks missing two of four rookie contract seasons and caused us to draft Etienne in the 4th and sign Dowdle. Sorry man, you’re smoking some serious hopium trying to justify last year’s draft as if it was good. We are one of the worst talented teams in the NFL over the past 7 seasons and sometimes that means that we get a lot of rookie contributors but it doesn’t mean it was a good draft. Until the rookies are actually above average starters it’s like going from Thomas to Tremble to Sanders to Evans. There’s no impact to our win total until one of them actually is more than just a starter because we have to play someone. One last nugget, we won’t be a playoff team if 25% of our starters are from the 2024 draft.

      At the end of the day his momma should’ve just named him better.  This is some weird sh*t “please everybody please call him this, he asked super nicely”

      Sure looked that way. That draft room looked like a funeral when the pick was announced and they'd already taken a QB two rounds earlier. Did not seem like a decision made by the folks in that room. Said it during the draft.
