Los Angeles doesn't need Morgan Reilly, especially at the expense of Phillip Danault, when the team has far more important priorities.

Thread: STOP TRYING TO ACQUIRE BRADY FOR SPARE PARTS

Nobody's listening to the Voice of Reason. Now multiply what you've experienced this month by 1,000 and you'll begin to have some insight into what we Anaheim fans have been going through for the past 120 days with Trevor Zegras.

For the record, Brady is more valuable than Trevor and the "offers" for him have, in large part, been stupider.

We're REAL familiar with Jiri Kulich. That's why we're asking what the <strong>high</strong>-value piece you're offering us is. You know: like John-Jason Peterka, or Jack Quinn.

Matt Roy won't be anywhere near that cheap -- he'll get at least $5 million AAV, and probably more.

Thread: Cored

No, thanks. Toronto has tested the "Iceberg Theory" of top-heavy, top-down roster construction over the past half decade and the results are conclusive: it doesn't work, which is why all Maple Leafs fans are now posting ACGMs desperately trading members of the Core Four (incl some Tavares-to-Chicago trades that make my eyes water).

Thread: Realistic Verbeek Targets

Welcome to CapFriendly in general and the enthusiastic core of Anaheim supporters in particular! :cheers

I like everything I see here and wouldn't mind seeing it come true. I think that Toffoli and DeMelo fit the team best among the "available" UFAs, especially since I have a sneaking suspicion that Reinhart may turn out to be Huberdeau 2.0.

Go Ducks! :applaud

Take out Byfield and the first and retain $1 million on Marner and we could afford to do that.

Forum: Armchair-GMYesterday at 8:21 a.m.

Thread: Marner Pulock

And in July next year, when Marner walks, instead of having 5 more seasons of Ryan Pulock and the beginning of the career of the guy you could have drafted at #18 overall this June, you have nothing other than your record next season.

Does that seem like a good strategic plan?

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Zang285</b></div><div>I dont hate it but I cant see Lou paying anyone 11+ mill</div></div>
Try $12 million plus on his extension -- <strong>IF</strong> he wants to stay on the Island.

Thread: Leafs

Why do so many Toronto guys try to shoehorn Marner and his $10.9 million cap hit into cap-stressed rosters like Minnesota ($14.75 million dead cap next season) or Los Angeles ($20.9 million to re-sign Quinton Byfield and fill both goalie positions and eight other roster slots)? The whole reason why you're in a position to sign Matt Roy is because we can't afford <strong>him</strong>, so how could we fit Mitch Marner into the roster?!?!? We can't afford Marner at his current cap hit this season even with Kevin Fiala going the other way or at his new figure if extended, and we can't afford to include one of our only two RDs with NHL experience in the deal, either. Please go play pretend-Marner-is-going-somewhere with teams like Utah and Chicago and Nashville and Columbus.

We can't afford Marner at his current cap hit next season or at his new figure if extended, and trying to make up the cap difference by subtracting numerous quality players from the current roster just exacerbates the cap problem because it creates additional open roster slots that have to be filled.

Thread: 2 part here looking far ahead

Utterly unrealistic Trouba trade. If it's not precluded by his no-trade clause, we'd give you the Pittsburgh 2024 third and our 2025 fourth just to fill in your dance card.

Thread: unrealistic leafs offseason

Los Angeles has Anze Kopitar, Phillip Danault and Pierre-Luc DuBois at center. Our fourth-line center is RFA Blake Lizotte, whose next contract number will almost certainly be lower than Kampf's $2.4 million cap hit; Lizotte is an excellent fourth-liner, every bit as effective as Kampf and almost three years younger. No, thanks.

Believing that Seattle is going to give up three seasons of 28-year-old Jared McCann for one season of 34-year-old John Tavares at twice the cap hit is, indeed, the definition of "unrealistic."

Thread: What makes sense for the teams - no trades

I think that Anaheim will select a RW with the Edmonton pick no matter where it ends up. The Ducks certainly don't need left-handed forward prospects. (I see that you have Masse with their own second.) Sennecke (if in fact he falls that far) or Hage or Ritchie would be ideal at 24/29/31/32.

Thread: Whats Hauge cost plus selections plus Murray

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>gpmack95</b></div><div>This trade has been made on here for atleast 1.5 months now -- CHI was another team making it. And youre moving back, not paying just a 1st to move him</div></div>
The fact that a trade has been idiotic for six weeks unbeknownst to me doesn't make it any less idiotic. As I said in my first comment, if the Islanders want to trade Anders Lee to create $7 million in cap space, they can do so for a third-round pick coming back. The idea that they would give up their first-round draft pick to do that is just nonsensical. You have no answer to that, so you just ignore it. And the fact that the Isles would be trading back doesn't mean, as you try to imply, that NY wouldn't be giving up their first-rounder.

This is the worst trade for the Islanders I have seen on CapFriendly this month. Absolutely abominable, and unprovoked.

Thread: Getting a 1st round pick and who to draft

Why in the world would the Islanders do that? They have $6 million to fill 5 roster slots. Even if they want to dump Pageau to create cap space, they can do so by trading him for a below-market return; they don't have to give up a first-round draft pick to get rid of him, especially if the receiving team wants to use him as their #3C.
