Thread: Trade Target discussion
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mokumboi</b></div><div>Okay, well NHL trade rumors is garbage. Google found nothing by Johnston or LeBrun that mentioned Parayko in the last week. The only thing I found was this - https://www.nhltraderumors.me/2023/12/blues-rumors-2-potential-landing-spots.html - which is delusional clickbait nonsense. Put all of these "insiders" together, they probably can't combine for one tiny clue about the Blues. Army runs in stealth better than almost any GM, and these guys only really have great info on Canadian/monster market US teams half the time.

But just FYI, anyone who claims everyone is available in STL is a bald-faced liar. That's just pure undiluted BS.</div></div>

Again, rumours are just that. If a leafs trade involving Parayko was to be talked about i believe the Blues would start with Nylander and they would want an extension in place and the leafs wouldnt want to do that. No one knows what will happen and if rumours are bs or not.

Also why wouldnt the Blues have several veteran players available??? Honest question. Do the blues/fans believe they can be a playoff team?

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SomeonesOffended</b></div><div>Parayko isn’t available none of the Seattle defenders are available leafs will not use a first on a forward so Jenner is unavailable and I pray the leafs don’t trade for risto plus he’s likely unavailable</div></div>

U could possibly be right. Reports this week out of STL are saying almost everyone in STL is available. Obviously no one knows how reliable those reports are.
I would say u are correct with reguards to Seattle. It would probably take an overpay to get anyone with term out of there. Also the Tatar deal seem to suggest they still think they can find success and make the playoffs.
Personally i believe every veteran on CLB is available.
Ristolienen has been a different player in PHI and his underlying stats show he has become a valued player. It would likely be a similar price tag as pesce or Tanev as risto has term and i dont think the Leafs would do a deal for a player with term and money. I would be very surprised at a deal like this

Thread: What Dallas would have to pay to match Leafs 12 x 8
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NHLfan10506</b></div><div>No investment can guarantee returns (obviously), but there is a fairly commonly used formula to determine the present value of future cash flows using the “risk-free rate” which is usually pegged to US Treasuries. So say it’s 2%….than the value of $100.00 today = $102.00 a year from now and $104.04 two years from now.

For contracts in a cap world, even if you front loaded the most allowed up cap (still have to have $775,000 each year), there is a limit to how much that would boost the value.

Another way too look at…front loaded money may earn 2% more per year. A bad tax locale may take up to 14% more of that money.</div></div>

For discussion sake a growth stock mutual fund (basic entry level investing) would historically bring around 8-12% annually. If the option of a big payout the day the contract is signed is on the table the athlete is taking it 100% of the time. My point to all this is the advantage of early big payment gives u the option to invest big and early having the big investment make u money as early as possible and therefore offset the tax "Issues".

Would an individual rather invest 10mill today or 1mill every year for 10 years.

Thread: Trade for defense
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JaredOfLondon</b></div><div>Gudbranson is one of the worst players in the NHL and has been for near a decade. His numbers are awful and he isnt even in schenn's galaxy, and schenn isnt even very good so that's saying a lot. The most appealing thing about schenn was that he made 800k and had no term, Gudbranson has one of the worst contracts in the league, even 50% retained</div></div>

Shenn was in the AHL a few years ago and now signed a decent money and term deal. Im interested in what site u are using to reference how bad Gudbranson advanced stats are. I am using money puck and by no means am i diving deep into the stats but it seems he has been an ok defender when asked to play a proper role. Am i missing something. Genuine guestion?
