Red Wings Sign Prospect Amadeus Lombardi

[DelHowLich]

He won't be a Wing for 2-3 years tops. Gotta find a place holder or make the big swing for Horvat, Hayes, O'Rielly, Toews....any others?

Don’t really want any of those guys. I think Hayes interests me most. O’Reilly & Toews would require contracts that we’d probably start to really regret by year 2.

My thoughts exactly. Hayes would be the cheapest to get because he would be a cap dump also. Philly has $75+M and only 15 signed for next year.
Philly, of course, would need to retain salary. But their asking price would be cheap. A prospect or an NHL salary under $2M or maybe even a pending UFA. Hayes is a so-called PP specialist with bad defensive metrics, but if put with wingers with good defensive metrics that may be OK. He should also improve the PP.

Yeah, I think even without retained salary Hayes may come in with the best cap hit, and maybe even term of all of them. I think there’s a little less risk of severe decline in his game over 4 years too.

But really I’d just love to run out:
Rasmussen - Hayes - Soderblom
Edvinsson - Seider

might be the biggest 5 any team in the league could run out.

Vegas signs Lombardi's teammate, playmaking center Matyas Sapovaliv to an ELC contract. He is on a point a game pace with 11 goals and 19 assists and currently playing on the Canada crushing Czech team at the WJC.

Sweet jesus...stuck in my head now...lol

Pretty sure that is KLF that is going to rock you.

Probably. I'm not going to math out every team, but I imagine the Jets and Sabres are the only teams that would come within an inch:

Detroit Red Wings: 6'5.8"
Simon Edvinsson: 6'6"
Moritz Seider: 6'4"
Michael Rasmussen: 6'6"
Kevin Hayes: 6'5"
Elmer Soderblom: 6'8"

Winnipeg Jets: 6'5"
Brendan Dillon: 6'4"
Logan Stanley: 6'7"
Morgan Barron: 6'4"
Adam Lowry: 6'5"
Blake Wheeler: 6'5"

Buffalo Sabres: 6'4.8"
Owen Power: 6'6"
Mattias Samuelsson: 6'4"
Dylan Cozens: 6'3"
Tage Thompson: 6'7"
Alex Tuch: 6'4"
