Thread: Biggest Problems Gone
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>pens1991</b></div><div>Everyone says no. Yotes can get better, Barbashev will need a 2nd and maybe a prospect, and hawks need better for domi. Plus you're sending out the pens 2 best penalty killers in McGinn and Blueger for no one good on the PK in return. (barbashev is decent on PK, obviously better overall than blueger).</div></div>

I agree Chychrun could be worth a bigger return based on the market, I am suprised STL and CHI are so attached to Barb and Domi tho, Domi's is an UFA with a -$2m market value, and Barbashev is solid but its hes not great eaither with a market value of 2.2m and also a UFA. Idk what STL is doing but i thought CHI was for sure rebuilding, and would rather have the gaurenteed pick then let them walk in FA

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ChiHawk</b></div><div>Easy no from the Hawks. Blueger as zero value, he's a rental and Hawks have no use for a rental. Kap is not earning his $3.2M cap hit, thus he is basically a cap dump. Domi is worth at a minimum of a 2nd round pick.</div></div>
Idk Athletic says Domi's not that great (https://theathletic.com/3989390/2023/01/30/nhl-player-cards-chicago-blackhawks-2/). Says Blueger has more value then him, Kap is a cap dump mainly but still has some value but thats what the extra pick is for

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TheEarthmaster</b></div><div>The Blues can get more for Barbashev without having to deal with McGinn's contract for the next two years.</div></div>
What is STL looking for? Barbasev is comparable to McGinn (https://theathletic.com/3989395/2023/01/30/nhl-player-cards-st-louis-blues-2/) and he doesnt need to be resigned, + a pick on top. This is a 27 yo 3rd liner what more could you expect?

Thread: Malkin?
Yes Please! Lets take 2 no names with huge contracts and give you Malkin! He has more points then both of them combined. 1st rounder just sweetens the deal too the penguins definitely need one they gave away theirs the past few years specifically so they could get St. louis's. GMJR must have a Magic ball to see this coming. Makes both teams so good they'll probably go 82-0-0 and meet in the Stanley cup. Probably both win too cause both teams get exactally what they need. Pens desperate for a hurt LW and a slow washed up d man, and all they have to give up is a 1+ PPG player!?!@ What a steal. Only problem here is that Teresenko and Malkin aren't on the same line. Who cares with a team this good you could probably just run 6 attackers, no need for goalies so trade them to EDM for some 1st round picks. Then well trade those to PIT for Crosby and Give some to WSH for Ovechkin, and hey Maybe the hawks will take 2 2nds for Kane? This team would be beast we'd make so much money from jerseys we could buy like 10000 gold packs from EA and definitely pull a Stamkos or Kopitar. Where do i Sign up to be a GM me and NickC1988 just found the winning formula!

Thread: Lottery Winners
The only reason they should sign Mathews is so they can trade him for a Top 1 Defense man and/or Goaltender. When are they gonna give up trying to sign every talented 1st round forward.... its worked out so well so far. You have McDavid don't waste it. Get him some defense that can get him (and the hoard of other 1st rounders they have) the puck. No wonder Yakupov wants out they have no team identity (besides maybe handicapping all star players) and terrible coaching. At some point you have to stop collecting offensive prospects and start building a TEAM. Why would penguins give up 2 prospects for that **** that doesn't help them? Montreal maybe picks up Yakupov doubt for a 1st considering is public that he wants out. If they didn't get rid of JVR this deadline they want him moving forward but even if it does happen its just another forward that will only touch the puck when he's pulling it out of his net. But go ahead sign Mathews I'd love to watch another generational talent play 3/4 of the game in his zone and score on the occasional breakaway or PP goal.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>myteam</b></div><div><i>The AZ trade is never going to happen. Too low of an offer to them.
It would take at a minimum a first rounder to get BOEDKER, one more to get HANZEL, and maybe a third for MICHALEK. If you really wanted to make the deal work it would probably include MURRAY, BENNET, SPRONG, and a 2nd. Then you could add PERRON and KUNITZ to offset salary.
BONINO = STEWART, lateral move here IMO
No way the sharks deals VLASIC for that package. too low.

The PENS do not really have the assets to acquire talent via trade right now. The biggest trade chips the pens have for futures are MURRAY and SPRONG. BENNETT is no longer a prospect, and looks more like an often injured player. Not sure how much trade value he would have.... maybe a third rounder.</i></div></div>

The Bonino trade was a lateral trade Wing for Center. The Sharks are getting old they need to start going younger cause they havn't been a contender for a long time so something needs to change. They've got a lot of old players with huge contracts the point of this trade was to take a bigger contract off them and replace it with a young prospect and a pick. I don't value Vlasic that high so if they accept if cool if not then send Cole to AHL or deal him somwhere else but it was just a way to get rid of him. The ARI deal is great for them Bennet and Perron were both 1st round picks... and Kunitz had 40 points last season and Perron had 57 the year before. The big thing here is ARI gets younger players for their older ones that need to be resigned in 1 or 2 years. For a young team like ARI this is a great deal for them as they now have players like Domi, Duclair, and Ekman Larsson to build around. They also get Plotkinov who was very good in the KHL but has had some bad luck transitioning into the NHL. even if he doesn't get up to his KHL standard hes still a big body with decent skill who has been great on the 4th line for the pens this year.

Thread: EDM What would you do for a... Starting Goalie?
Nilsson has always been bad, and Talbot was suppose to fix things but they learned real quick he's just a backup. Theres no question they need a solid guy in between the pipes if they're going to win. Both of they're current goalies are just under 3 GAA. (They are also just barley keeping a save % above .9 ,which is terrible for a staring goalie in the NHL)This would give them a #1 that they can secure for a while as Murrays only 21. Theyd have to give something up to get that and they have a surpus of offense if they plan on building around McDavid they're going to need to get some solid defenders and goal tending this gives them both. It also frees up more cap space for them so come off season they can sign/resign some defense men because a lot of their defense will need to be signed and maybe they can target someone like Byf. Bennet was a 1st round pick and when he isn't hurt hes been a top pairing wing, and Clendening is still young and maybe not NHL ready yet but is a great puck moving defesemen that a team with the offensive talent of EDM need. Also just for fun out of 40 Goalies both EDMs are 38 &amp; 39 ( <a rel="nofollow" href="http://espn.go.com/nhl/statistics/player/_/stat/goaltending/sort/avgGoalsAgainst" target="_blank">http://espn.go.com/nhl/statistics/player/_/stat/goaltending/sort/avgGoalsAgainst</a> )
