Marino is exempt.

Same rules as last time.

7 forwards, 3 defense, 1 goalie
8 skaters (non-goalies), 1 goalie.

protect: Sid, Geno, Jake, RW1, McCann, Kapanen; Letang, Dumo, Ceci; Jarry

trying to figure out the last forward I'd protect. if we're concerned about window of opportunity for this core, I think I protect Carter. Obviously we'll see how these playoffs play out but he seems to really gel with this team. I think if he plays next season he gives us the best chance to win the Cup compared to Tanev, Blueger and Zucker

If Malkin had come in and the team imploded immediately I would suggest working out a deal with SEA for not protecting him. But that doesn't seem to be the case.

Geno has a NMC. No dice.

Ceci is a UFA. Why would you waste a protect spot on him?

Very, very, very bad man...

Hear me out.

This is our last shot at a cup with this crew. He's got 1 year left on his contract? If it went to **** (and it didn't) why not try and fenagle a high draft pick? Assuming Seattle gets a high pick.

dick move imo

This thread has been poisoned.

Posted: **Fri May 07, 2021 12:50 pm**

It's a moot point anyway. He seems to have bought into the system like the rest of them. Good for another year.

Posted: **Fri May 07, 2021 12:55 pm**

This is tough. You gotta go 7/3/1 because you have to protect letang and dumoulin (right?). But there's no 3rd D really.

8/1 does you more harm than good because you have at least 7F to protect but still have the 2D.

Unless they are comfortable losing kapanen, mccann, blueger, or tanev for nothing, they have to work out a trade. And that is without protecting zucker...

IMO you have two options.
1. Trade rust or mccann and protect all the rest but zucker
2. Make a trade to get them to take who you want them to take

So crosby, malkin, guentzel, and 4 of rust/kapanen/mccann/blueger/tanev

Posted: **Fri May 07, 2021 12:56 pm**

Remember that last time they went 8 skaters. vice 7F 3D. Do they have a 4th D that they would protect with Marino exempt?

Posted: **Fri May 07, 2021 12:57 pm**

If my options are trading away rust or mccanns final year, or losing blueger or tanev for nothing, I think I go with the trade

They don't even have a 3rd D. They'll end up protecting pettersson by default.

Posted: **Fri May 07, 2021 1:00 pm**

I didn't think I'd say this but they should probably protect Matheson. Maybe they can work out a deal with SEA to pick Pettersson, because I guess they need to move that contract anyway given Marino's extension.

ah yeah forgot about that. Not sure how Ceci's contract negotiation would or wouldn't be affected by the draft

I'd flip the names there. While Matheson has been decent, I'd relish the opportunity to get out from under that contract. And POJ could fit in the Matheson role.

Weenie is being so nice he is only protecting 6 forwards.

Protect:
Sid
Geno
Jake
Rust
Kap
McCann
Blueger
Letang
Dumo
Jarry

If we're letting Ceci walk and not resigning, then why not protect Friedman for the 3rd guy? I'm daring Seattle to take Pettersson unless the FO likes him then protect him or Matheson.

I'm offering up all our long term contracts: Matheson, Tanev, Pettersson and I'm protecting centers over Zucker. Yes we paid a heavy price for him but that was the last FO.

Hoping Seattle takes Matheson or Pettersson, probably take ZAR. Unless we leave McCann or Blueger exposed then one of them is gone.

Posted: **Fri May 07, 2021 2:31 pm**

They'd absolutely take tanev. Great guy to rile up the fanbase

I wasn’t sure about the last one. I was saying Carter would likely be my 7th

Posted: **Fri May 07, 2021 4:12 pm**

Having an extra protection slot on D is a huge positive. It gives us a chance to make a trade on the discount...

Posted: **Fri May 07, 2021 4:18 pm**

like...can we give them ANYTHING so they take petterson? Like...here's DeSmith - he's pretty good. likes frolf. interesting guy.
