Thread: Trade Deadline

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>tkecanuck341</b></div><div>If he specifically asks for a trade, then the Kings would oblige. However, he has said in interviews in the past that he respects players that play their entire careers with a single team. He's also working on moving up the ladder for most games played by teammates with Kopitar. They're about to pass Lindstrom and Draper and could potentially catch the Sedin twins if Brown signs an extension as expected.

If this was a Ray Bourque situation where he hadn't won a Cup yet and was looking to get one before he retired, then I'd say it was more likely. However, he already has two Cups under his belt. I expect he will stay in LA until he hangs them up.</div></div>

Makes sense.

It was similar with Getzlaf last spring. I knew if he was playing this year he was resigning in Anaheim, but I wouldn't have been surprised nor begrudged him if he wanted to go on a couple month cup run.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>tkecanuck341</b></div><div>Dustin Brown will not be traded. Full stop.</div></div>

If you guys were out of the playoff run (I don't particularly think you will be mind you), you don't think the team would ask him and let him decide if he wants to go on a cup run?

I certainly think he's earned the respect from the organization to make the decision, but I would think he'd be allowed too.

Thread: New Jersey Devils signed Jack Hughes (8 Years / $8,000,000 AAV)

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CJets</b></div><div>For those who are voting no, what are y’all smoking? Hughes is going to be a top 5 centreman in the league, this contract will be an absolute steal in a couple years</div></div>

Because it's a gamble. He has a tonne of pedigree and at times has shown his potential in the NHL. But flipside is he's played 2 years and hasn't consistently put it up yet.

Jersey took a gamble. There is no way to deny it. You think it's a good one. Others don't.

Thread: New Jersey Devils signed Jack Hughes (8 Years / $8,000,000 AAV)

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>KSIxSKULLS</b></div><div>I think it has less to do with NJD and more to do with MTL haters. I don't think there's been a trade or higher salary signing on this site that Montreal has won</div></div>

For the record while I also think this is a bad or at least very risky contract the big difference is age.

Hughes 2 seasons were 18 and 19, Suzuki joined the NHL at 20.

But yeah people certainly have biased perspectives.

I don't love the Suzuki contract, but I certainly don't hate it. I kinda feel like he deserved 6.875 but got that extra million after the Habs got scared with the KK debacle (which they made the right decision by not signing).

Thread: Team Canada

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>AustonMatthews3443</b></div><div>Exactly they always like to have a shutdown pair, which like you said would either be Weegar or Pelech alongside Ekblad and then beyond that it's really a toss up. I have an odd feeling they might go Nurse, even though I disagree with that choice, for the last spot.</div></div>

Yup. I agree with your 5.

Then I would say it's (in no particular order):

Pelech, nurse, Rielly, weegar, Chabot.

Perhaps Toews and Girardi as dark horse

Letang and Doughty would likely be in that first group but so many RD

Thread: Team Canada

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>AustonMatthews3443</b></div><div>It really is I think Hamilton, Makar, Pietrangelo, Ekblad and Theodore are pretty much locks, after that there is like 5-7 guys for the last 2 spots and any combination of 2 of those guys wouldn't shock me.</div></div>

The problem is outside of Theodore who is more two way, all of Canada's best LD are really offensive d. (Rielly, Chabot, etc).

So either put an Rd off handed or it may end up being someone like weegar or pelech

Thread: Buy Low On Players

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>WallStreet83</b></div><div>Take out Engvall and upgrade the 3rd to a 2nd and I'd do it right now regardless of playoffs. Radulov is dead weight right now.</div></div>

Honestly what difference does engvall make? He's not a bad player. He's just a meh depth player. Seems like a hard worker. I doubt it matters to not include him. The leafs just waive him and if a team has injuries they pick him up. If not they may send him down and just have like a 50k cap hit.

Frankly though I think he's a good 12th forward and if the leafs didn't have a cap crunch I'd be annoyed at the idea of dumping him.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>OldNYIfan</b></div><div>Doesn't belong here, but I'm too lazy to construct posts of my own:

Anaheim: any of Teemu Selanne, Scott Niedermeyer or Chris Pronger. Honorable mention to the prematurely late Ruslan Salei.

None of those ducks picks can go wrong but I gotta say Pronger even though somehow he's the "worst" of the three (least best? You can't call any of them worst), but his nastiness and physical dominance on the ducks? Yeah...

Gotta be bossy for the isles. They need to score! Doesn't he have the highest career goals per game?

And while Robitaille is a kings hero, how can it not be the great one?

Thread: YOU CAN PICK ANY PLAYER FROM YOUR TEAMS PAST TO PLAY ON CURRENT ROSTER CHALLENGE

Just one? I have to choose one 90s or later so sorry to all the older greats I just didn't know you.

I think Sundin was the best but with Matthews and Tavares he isn't the biggest need. I think Dougy's feistiness would be my choice.

I do get the Clark choice. Definitely wasn't the best but we could use that style player.

Honestly though just adding Sundin to have that 1-2-3 at c would be nuts.

Eh, I don't think the cap space is worth that much. He still has positive value beyond this.

How is Makar 4th on RD?
How is Adam Fox (the reigning Norris winner) not on the team?
Chabot is way too high. Perhaps third pairing
Pettersson is WAY to high.
Suzuki on the first line?? I don't think he makes this team. I don't think Brady does either, but potentially a healthy scratch...
