Thread: If I was GM
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>WPGSK</b></div><div>Yes, need guys with term OR better still... picks and prospects.

But, NO MORE LITTLE GUYS THAT ARE OVERPAID. This has to be made clear to anyone proposing trades. WPG does NOT want Marner or Garland. Great or Good isn't important. I know that sounds crazy, but you've watched the playoffs. Guys like Marner, Ehlers, etc... get targeted like mad and suffer.

The Jets need to get younger and better fast.

They will have no choice but to rebuild.

They are losing Helly and PLD for sure. Probably Scheifele.

The time is now to dump and get.</div></div>

i agree with you i think they tear it down to the studs. start iver. but all indications point to them not wanted to rebuild.

if they ‘retool’ i like this deal for them. i propsed a similar one in boeser for dillion and a pick/prospect. would allow WPG to get a top 6 winger to replace one of their guys leaving without giving up one if their better assets, which they would get hauls from as easily replace dillion and the pick/prospect.

i also need to see garland in the playoff before i agree with that part. dude is 5’2 but plays a lot bigger. gritty little elf

Thread: Flyer Fans What is his cost
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>DirtyDangles</b></div><div>Why would the Flyers sell low on Provy? Either pay a reasonable price for a guy that plays 24 min a night or move on</div></div>

if flyers are blowing it up no doubt they can get a haul for guys like him and konecny, just the argument that canucks would sell low on hoglander because he couldnt stick in the league doesnt mean much as his demotion had bigger reasons than his play. 9pts in 25 while playing on the 4th line 90% of the time at 21 isnt a guy who doesnt belong in the league. thats my point.

and if your biggest selling point on him is that he plays a lot, not a great sign. canucks payed less than your suggesting for Hronek, whos younger, better, right handed, and makes less

Thread: VAN - CHI
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>RicXX</b></div><div>Thing is take the players out and it's the 19oa and a high 3rd, maybe low second to move up to 11th. So taking the huge cap and real cash would probably make it even less. Look at the Dickinson trade. Chi can get cap nearly anywhere, if it's too rich for VAN then they can pay the cap overage fee, which will be much much more...</div></div>

they can get cap from anywhere yes. but to get cap (Myers who can be flipped later if your owner isnt penny pinching, shouldnt with szn ticket sales) a young, 50+ pt winger, AND move up in a stacked sraft is a uniquie situation only vancouver and chicago can really do. and ARZ traded up to 11 with 27,34,45 last year in a far worse draft so no, it wont take a high 3rd. 19,44, and a 3rd MAYBE
