Thread: If Out at the TDL
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>bluspy88</b></div><div>Just to be clear: I only said that they have missed time before, which is true. Also, while I get your point about "in house", literally every fan base says that about replacements. I remember in the offseason before it happened there were a lot of Burns to Carolina posts, including myself and all I heard was "they have 3 guys in the AHL that can step into that role immediately". Plus, Colorado already has done this move before in Manson. So, I just disagree with you that they wouldn't get a good player for their defense which was and always is huge to winning. The point about the price is fair, but I compare Soucy more to Kulak in terms of what they would give up. Chiarot was playing like top pair minutes and didn't suck which inflated his value, Soucy is the #3 LHD in Seattle.</div></div>

I think the big thing is they did the move last year to get manson like you said but they kept him. so currently they have 5 top4 d. I don't see them scratching johnson for soucy to play bottom pairing minutes and they won't be able to resign him so that pulls colorado back quite a bit. So they will either bring someone up or move a late piick(5-7) to bring in a player who can be a health scratch and play 7 minutes a night like Jack Johsnon did last year, but they won't be giving a 2nd and a prospect for a bottom pairing rental.

Thread: Flames Guaranteed Cup
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>gmmclee</b></div><div>A healthy Valimaki is a current bottom 6 dman, who is sure to become a top 4 in his prime. Very cheap cap hit as it stands. We just have no room for him because our defense is so stacked.

The only way Edmonton outscores us with this lineup is if Markstrom screws up again. At the deadline Lucic's cap hit is hardly a concern, and Kane is not resigning in Chicago either, so really it's a first, a second and a future top 4 dman for some time with Patrick Kane.</div></div>

I mean you're rotating through 4 top 4 dmen, on a majority of teams your top d men is 3rd best. Weegar is a solid addition but another top 4 dman. His addition won't stop edmonton from slicing through like they did last year. And you can blame marky all you want but edmonton had terrible goaltending as well and worse d and you still lost 4 straight. I don't see anything changing form that this year. These guys aren't good enough to stop their offense.

You're going to have to pay to get anyone to take lucic anyway you slice it. This offer gets beat by 29 other teams. you're gonna have to add a top prospect if you want to be serious about them trading him to you.
