Thread: Old Ideas

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Kyle_Davidson</b></div><div>Chicago will be very careful, and rightfully so, in who they add to their locker room as the young core develops. That being said, Nichushkin is probably not a player they are interested in adding to that mix considering his off ice history.

Also, I don’t think you’ll be getting compensation for him, if another team gets him I believe it will be after the AV’s come to a quasi-buyout that makes him a free agent.</div></div>

If he agrees to a negotiated termination he’s going back to Russia because there is no impetus for him to pass on all that guaranteed money if he wants to stay in NA. I mean if the guy gets clean (hope so), he has all the leverage, a full NMC till next year and 6 years of guaranteed money.

Boston does not do it anyway, neither does Ullmark.

Thread: 2024-2025 with Landy

Too difficult and unpredictable to judge what will happen with Nichushkin I doubt even Utah takes that risk

Also if you're going to pay a player 4mil, I'd think it would be Drouin and not Duclair

Yeah he or more accurately his agent and NHLPA aren’t going to let a contract like his terminated, but given his tumultuous last year it wouldn’t be shocking if he failed another test. And I am by no means hoping that happens, he seems to be a great guy who I hope Concur’s his problems.

Just going to reiterate: they CANNOT simply terminate Val's contract so it isn't even worth mentioning at this point. If he goes to level 4, that's a different story but they have to follow the process first; they can't count on having that money available all season so it's useless to pretend as though they can just make that contract go away.

Thread: Philadelphia Flyers signed Ivan Fedotov (2 Years / $3,275,000 AAV)

He's had a great KHL career, but this is an insane bet for a guy who came in and stunk the place up for 3 games. Could totally work out, but it's just as likely he's Russian Mikko Koskinen

Thread: Starters

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>HockeyManiac95</b></div><div>You really think Brossoit could be a starter for the Avs with his age and all? I think I like Kahkonen best, then Ned. By Father Finn I assume you mean Raanta? In that case, no thanks.</div></div>

Age does play a factor but not so much with some goalies (lots of variables like injury history, late bloomers and so on) and I don't see it as a huge issue with Brossoit. Kahkonen I still think would be the best shot myself, and yes by Father Finn I meant Raanta. Talbot would be another possibility as an older guy.

Thread: Starters

Annunen is going to get the shot to run as the 1A, I’m not a Ned fan, and Samsonov might make you wish for Georgiev back.

Forum: Armchair-GMApr. 22 at 5:01 p.m.

Thread: Starters

Probably take a punt on Kahkonen myself out of those. Finnish starter (don't see Lankinen as one so that rules him out for me), Finnish back up, Finnish goalie coach.

Ned as a second choice. As <a href="/users/HawksGuy81" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">@HawksGuy81</a> says....Samsonov I'd rule out as too inconsistent.

Other options - Brossoit from Winnipeg, Father Finn as a gamble from Carolina.

Thread: Starters

I think broissot or however you spell winnipegs current back. If they do move geo i thik he could be a solid backup looking for a starter position that can also give a good chunk of the work to annuen

Forum: Armchair-GMApr. 22 at 4:27 p.m.

Thread: Starters

Just couldn't resist, could 'ya?

I'd say Kahkonen or Ned are the best bets of those 4 you listed. Lank isn't a #1 and Sammy is way too inconsistent.

Thread: Tonight

Only 2 things I see different is girard might play with johnson and walker with manson.

Parise and duhaime could possibly switch.

I'd like to see kovalenko play at least for 1st game or until drouin comes back.

Thread: Ideas old and new

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>dgibb10</b></div><div>I would prefer to keep Holtz ideally.

Colton cost a 2nd to acquire, for cap space i'd offer back what you paid.

I'm estimating what Georgiev would cost at a 3rd, could be off on that.

Overall, I'd offer NJDs pair of 2nds next years. or a 2nd+3rd for just Colton.

Some NJD fans have fallen out of favour with holtz however, and NJDs front office may feel the same, but I doubt it</div></div>

I can see why you'd want to keep Holtz, still plenty of upside there, and a pair of 2nds for Colton would be what I'd expect the Avs to be looking for if we're talking pure pick value for Colton. Have to remember they traded a 2nd for his rights, not a signed Colton. That said, I'd expect teams to give lowball offers to a degree with the Avs cap situation.

Thread: Behrens

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>HockeyManiac95</b></div><div>He's not any worse than Vaneck (probably better tbh)</div></div>

Still doesn't make sense. On top of Blackwood, we've had 3 younger goalies all show flashes of great play in their few appearances. Vaneck is also a reclamation project and I don't see us moving him until his value has gone up.

Thread: Colorado Avalanche signed Sean Behrens (3 Years / $925,000 AAV)

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>HockeyManiac95</b></div><div>Imo JJ is done, and I'd rather see him than Jones. Besides, having won 2 national championships already I think they'd have some confidence in him</div></div>

100%; assuming we can't re-sign Walker, not sure if they will trust a 3rd pair of Behrens-Malinski (I personally think they would mesh really well) so be interesting to see what moves they might make, if any.
