My understanding, in bold:

... the point is that Dobes has surpassed Primeau in the totem pole, but he (Primeau) still has some potential if he gets a chance to play regularly in another organization ...

 

Nobody was suggesting moving Dobes

 

I had edited my previous post, when I realized he may have meant Premieu. 

 

Still makes no sense. Premieu is unmovable.

I'm guessing with his low cap hit,  RNH is a lock in Edmonton, right ?

Turning 32 in April, so not a long term fit.

But should we be absolutely looking for a long term fit at 2C ?
For all we know,  Hage could grab that spot in a few years if everything goes right...

He left money on the table to re-sign with them and I think he has a full NMC so he's probably not an option.  He's also not a full-time C anymore.

After all these years of gathering prospects and picks, wouldn't it be time to pay a high price for a C ?  

Do you see any team that have a great C  but won't necessarily be using him to contend over the next few years ?

 

Let's start with 
- Logan Mailloux

- Anyone of our 2025 1st round pick (about same range as it stands)

- Dach or Newhook

 

Would that bring back a great C ?  I don't mean Brock Nelson or Casey Mittlestadt.

If not, then what ?

 

- Adding another 1st pick, let's say in 2027, maybe ask for a 2027 2nd pick in return.

Are we there yet ?

The big target that comes to mind, and he's turning 28 in May so not too old is Matt Barzal.  Been close to a PPG player most of his career. A little off that this year and had some injury issues.  So that's the concern, but he seems to be the best bet. 

 

I don't see that many high end C out there who would be tradeable off the top of my head, unless its someone who is damaged goods or terrible contract like an Elias Pettersson.  Of course something else may shake out come summer time. 

 

The other option is to overpay in free agency for a Sam Bennett.

Barzal is a great name yeah.  

 

To a lesser extent, with all the Cs the Kraken have,  it would be funny to go for Shane Wright :D  or Beniers.

He hasn't really been a centre since they went out and got Horvat though.

Fair enough. 

 

Just off the top of my head, I'm not sure who is the guy available.

 

That of course will likely change come someone's season ending in a disappointing way.

I mean… Beck or Kapanen and how many firsts ? 

Some fans want to trade him. But does Davidson really want to do that?

I dont see the Hawks moving him.  That looks like a clickbait bullshit article 

 

I agree with Commandant ... but *** IF *** an offer were to be made it would likely  START with Guhle, Slafkovsky, Hage and the 2026 firsts

Meh, I’m not paying that much… one player, despite his skill, isn’t worth poking holes in the whole line up. We could always take a shot with an offer sheet should he be slow to sign an extension. 
 

We’d be looking at 4 first rounders for an offer sheet over 10M. That is less than your package above. You’ve given 5 first rounders…. 2 of which have panned out… so worth way more imo.


I’d offer one of Beck or Kapanen and both this years firsts and next years first (3 in all)…

They would match that offer sheet.

I wouldn't pay that much either. I think he is good but he has been overrated. The hype has been a little much.

Reading through the article, the impetus for this seems to be that some fans emailed a beat writer venting some frustration, causing said beat writer to write an article about why moving Bedard would be a really bad idea.  This comes on the heels of two 10-minute misconducts and now some are trying to correlate that with him allegedly being unhappy.

 

Long story short, this ain't happening.

I didn’t put a number on offer sheet yet… anything above 10M gets 4 first round picks as compensation if not matched. I’m sure there is a number that Chicago wouldn’t match... not that we’d want to pay it either…. But there is a number. 7x14 ? 7x15 ? 7x16 ? 7x17 ? Where would you bow out ?

So the trade off here is the extra in the trade package or the extra in the contract...... either way you are giving up something.

Assets can be replaced, AAV is forever (7 years to be specific) ... too bad Chicago has so much cap space, otherwise they could "Kotkaniemi" him.
