I guess he hasn't played enough NHL games to qualify? I will have to look up the rules. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not so much NHL games but games in enough seasons. As he signed out of college and burned a year right away, he didn't play in the required 10 games in 2022-23 to accrue a year toward offer sheet eligibility. That same rule prevents both Hutson and Demidov from getting one when their deals are up as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the info, so Florida has to sign Samoskevich, likely a back up goalie and maybe another 4th liner. Perhaps 15-16m to sign their high profile UFA's. Don't see how they sign Marchand, his last chance to sign for big bucks. I can see the Leafs signing Marchand if Marner walks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps, if Ekblad is gone then they can probably resign Marchand. It will be an interesting couple of weeks on the hockey front and then likely really boring.

WildTurkeyXX Posted June 21 Share Posted June 21 Seattle trade's for Joe Veleno. Not a blockbuster, but it could signal that they are about to move a Center. They were already overflowing at Center (of the top 6 variety), so it was expected that they would be moving one, but with this move it looks like it's even more likely, now...

Veleno had 17 points last year and has one season in his career with more than 20 points (28 is his career high) I dont think this was really about acquiring a centre. More like dumping Burasovsky and gaining 3.23 million in cap space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This does make sense if they are planning on moving one of their upper level Centers to make room for Wright in their top 6 without leaving a vacancy in the bottom.

Yanni Gourde at the deadline. Their 4Cs are Beniers, Wright, Stephenson, Veleno. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WildTurkeyXX Posted June 21 Share Posted June 21 Yes, that's true. But that still leaves Stephenson, McCann, Beneers and Wright. I still assume that one more is on its way out, that's my guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McCann is one of those C's that mights make for a better winger. But technically is often still thought of as a Center. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WildTurkeyXX Posted June 21 Share Posted June 21 But yes, I can see where they might just keep McCann on the wing and role with what they have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlbalr Posted June 21 Share Posted June 21 It wouldn't surprise me if Veleno is bought out (at a 1/3 rate) if the Kraken can't flip him over the next week or so. That would simply make it Seattle was able to clear the majority of Burakovsky's cumbersome contract without having to incentivize or retain on the contract to move it. That'd be a decent outcome in a market where not a lot of teams are willing to take on bad contracts at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They also have another high end centre prospect in Catton. Berniers isn’t going anywhere. So they may move Stephenson or Wright and would probably want to keep a veteran… so maybe there is an opportunity to get Wright. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do people think they are moving Wright when he had an outstanding second half last year? I see no reason for them to move a 20 year old C who just found his game. Thafs a pipe dream IMO. Catton is also a guy who might be a winger at the NHL level Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seattle seems to have a surplus at C, so perhaps his move to W was a result of that rather than his inherent weakness in the role? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DON Posted June 23 Share Posted June 23 The Flyers are nearing a deal to acquire forward Trevor Zegras from the Ducks, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports. Anaheim will receive center Ryan Poehling, the Blue Jackets’ 2025 second-round pick (No. 45 overall), and Philadelphia’s 2026 fourth-rounder in return, Friedman adds. The Flyers have since made the trade official. Flyers Acquire Trevor Zegras From Ducks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
