Quoting: Murph
Respect your opinion. The way i see it, STL loses Tarasenko no matter what, so they need a scoring Right Winger ( Kapanen) and would need to replace Parayko, or Pietrangelo with a RH D., which is why I suggested Zaitsev. Maybe Leafs need to add something else, but STL is not bargaining from a position of strength IMO.
Hey Murph.
I'm giving 5 stars as it looks like this is your first ACGM team.
Realistically, from my perspective, none of these deals come close to fair value.
I feel there's a team that may toss Philly a first rounder for Simmonds...whether he's worth that or not is not as important as the fact that teams may outbid each other.
Holl and a 4th have almost nil value. If Detroit doesn't get an attractive offer for Kronwall, I doubt they even approach him and ask him to waive his NMC
St. Louis is not dealing from a position of weakness. They have started to play a more respectable brand of hockey the last few weeks which likely coincides with getting their captain back in the lineup. They don't have any big free agents to get under contract for next year and I imagine are happy to see contracts like Maroon and Bouwmeester come off the books. If I'm them, I hold the line for the rest of the year and reassess this time next year. Ideally they use cap space this offseason to target a #1 goalie somehow. I think stability between the pipes would go a long way.
I feel like they've played around with their forward group so much over the past couple years that they just need to let the group grow together this year. Their big decision likely comes next year with Pietrangelo on his final year. If they wait until this time next year they'll have more information on whether he's worth re-signing into his mid 30s or if they should move him at the deadline. I honestly don't think the offers will change drastically from this trade deadline to next year's assuming his play is similar.
All that being said, the Parayko deal is way off.
Keep at it though and keep posting teams on here. Each fan base has some great posters on here so if there's a guy on another team you like, post an ACGM team and invite their comments to see what they feel is fair value in return.
