<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Banana</b></div><div>1. There is no extension in place. Remind yourself of the Duchene trade and recall what that return was. If Columbus isn't on Pasta's NTC then I'd assume they stand a decent chance at re-signing him.
2. They need to make cap space and Kuraly is a good way to do so. Danforth can move to 4C and makes quite a bit less.
3. Like I said previously, Tarasov will have plenty of time to play in Cleveland before Korpisalo gets traded at the deadline. He can always split time with Elvis as well.


Man has Sportsnet reached out to you about a job offer? Impeccable analysis. Is this how you waste your time?


I'm pretty sure people would be understanding to trading a 4th liner if they know it'll help the team. This kind of trade is not even remotely comparable to trading Bjorkstrand. As someone already said above, Kuraly is a good 4C and is apparently a great guy so trading him doesn't particularly seem like an issue. Sounds to me like every team should want him.
And on your second point, do not compare me to those fanatics. I'm being realistic to what this team needs to do to make any progress in this league. Sorry if I'm not as equally insane as the people who think you need to trade half your team for one guy.



Roslovic is middle of the pack at defence, ffs he played on the PK. Sillinger's age literally doesn't matter at all. He just played a full season at 18 and did fairly well for himself. Played top 6 quite a few times. Although not mentioned, this is mostly a end of season, heading into 23-24 roster than 22-23 from the get go. Johnson and Sillinger both should have taken a few steps by then. I'm also just gonna assume you've paid 0 attention to Danforth as he is a C and has played C a couple games as well. He's also pretty good. And the issues with defence are not on the players. The coaches need to figure that **** out. Doesn't seem that our dmen that were somehow looking pretty competent on defence were all that competent last year. Don't tell me that's on them. Kuraly can be replaced with Foudy or Danforth right now if needed. Tying up 30mil in wingers when you have 2 young C prospects who can play top 6 for cheap over the coming years is very doable. This team is very capable to be ridding themselves of expensive roster players and taking advantage at younger players and their contracts.


I'm here to throw some ideas out there and expect some sort of constructive criticism on how to improve my ideas. So far I've only people acting like they know better and what they think will and won't happen, but not a single soul actually adding to nor improving a single one of my ideas. Oh Boston won't make that trade? What can they add or do to make it happen? But no, all you guys spend your time with tissues and moisturizer 24 hours a day on CapFriendly spewing your twitter takes acting like you know better than everyone else. Just have an open discussion about these things and stop people who hard headed.</div></div>

You just wrote like a thousand words to randos on capfriendly and you're lecturing ME on wasting time?

You know what your right I apologize. That wasn’t real criticism. We won’t see eye to eye on kuraly and it is what it is. I’m not gonna get into a crap throwing fight with you. As for danforth last year. I’m not sold on his game going forward. He was a great energy guy on the wing but the defensive responsibilities a center carries limit the impact on the game. It’s like torts always said about jenner for better or for worse he had a point that Jenner couldn’t go balls to the wall in the o zone on a forecheck.
Roslovic being middle of the pack defensively is a tad overstating it. He typically gets burned on checks and assignments in the d zone and has a difficult time supporting his defenders in the corners and along the wall. Sillinger played about 50 percent of the games well and the other 50 percent of the games where he pulled an invisible act. He was demoted to the forth line in stretches. I also don’t think Kent is ready to play center in the nhl yet. He looked alittle timid in his stint at the end of the year and needs to find his game at the nhl first.

For the Pasternak trade. I don’t think this is what Boston would be looking for. They would want a blue chip prospect for pasta which we shouldn’t be willing to give up. Your offer is fine from our perspective bit our long term view is going to be tough to keep all of our players together. 30 million in 3 wingers, plus werenski. That’s half of our capspace. We have a lot of it allocated already to middle 6 talent that I am afraid we won’t be able to keep our higher end guys.
Not to speak for you, but I’m sure this is where you say to move kuraly and that is valid, I would attempt to clear cap in different ways.
For example if we have a 1-2 punch of Johnson, sillinger. How do we want our 3rd line to look shut down or scoring. I would look to move out one of jenner or roslovic first as we don’t have room for 4 top 9 centers and one of those are the obvious choice and definitely wouldn’t have the space for a winger making 4 million on the third line.

I also wonder about Bemstrom. You see him in the top 9 next year? Curious as to why especially over the players that are on the outside looking in. I also ask what has he proved to be worth that contract?

I will work on my responses in the future. I hope we can all strive to do the same.
