True but he wouldn't be the first physical C that falls off in his early 30's.  Look at David Backes.  https://www.hockey-reference.com/players/b/backeda01.html

If he followed a similar regression.... which he has higher numbers than him to begin with.....

 

He'd still be worth the 6.5 at 36  keep in mind the cap is jumping a lot between now and then

Makes sense.  Risk doesn't seem high as a pure salary dump, but it feels like maybe Las Vegas is stepping back from the ledge.

I wouldn't mind giving up a pick or something but I'd hate to see someone like Blake going the other way to make it happen.

It's definitely a cap dump we have plenty of lower quality prospects to trade them without giving up a Blake,Nadaeu or FUS

 

2C has been our biggest hole since Trockek walked.....

 

I think a Hertl is far more impact full for us than marner....  we have a ton of talented young wings Blake probably becomes a 25-30 goal guy this year and I'm pretty sure Nadeau breaks into the lineup (and his offensive ceiling is higher than Blake')  not having a legit 2C has made us basically a one line team when it comes to offense. 

2C and 1RHD Id like filled this month and leave space for moves at the deadline

Ehhh we need a top pair RHD hes more of a 2 or 3

I get that, but not a lot of UFA top RHDs out there, unless you want to give Eckblad $9-10M. Matter of fact, Eckblad may be the only top line D-man who's unrestricted. 

Better look for a trade somewhere.

If they don't pursue and get Ekblad I'd be shocked if it isnt addressed via trade because of the draft capital/space we have.

    • So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?
    • Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.
    • Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
