<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>aedoran</b></div><div>1st trade: Detroit is better off resigning Nyquist.
2nd trade: No one wants Helm over paid and always hurt. I don't know if Hicketts will make it back to the NHL. He played 8 games early in the season and the only stat he recorded was -6. Plus they've been calling up Lashoff over him. No way Ana goes for that.
3rd trade: I can't see anyone spending a 4th on Witkowski.
4th trade: Vanek 3rd or 4th rd pick. Last season Vancouver got 2 players for him Jussi Jokinen is no longer in the NHL and Tyler Motte who has played 45 games for Vancouver. The season before Detroit got a 3rd and Dylan McIlrath who hasn't played a game for Detroit in 3 seasons. Detroit can get more for Jensen or just resign him.</div></div>

Haha thanks. If there is a trade to be made it should be for a really good rental on the fourth line for a year. Its a shame Grabner was picked up by Arizona, because his PK ability and speed would be perfect in a deep team such as the Lightning. Otherwise perhaps a more experienced backup goalie would help. Otherwise this has to be one of the best NHL rosters possible.

Me as a GM of Detroit.. TDL + Draft. Post-TDL lineup.
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jfstompers</b></div><div>A second for nyquist seems to be the right asking price. A 4th for frk is crazy he is a bottom 6 forward with little value. Vanek added the no trade because he's sick of moving every spring so no that won't happen. I just don't agree with this line of thinking. Howard isn't worth a 2nd is he. I mean he's a pure rental and he may be an above average goalie but will he be the reason Carolina makes a playoff run , I don't think so.</div></div>
Your being rather harsh here. Frk is a very similar player to Frank Vatrano, and the Bruins got a 3rd for him at the 2018 deadline. From my point of view, Frk has shown better performance than Vatrano so if he were traded within the division (like Vatrano at the deadline) he could even stretch a 3rd + prospect. Howard is a very good professional goalie, and whenever a team retains 50% of a players salary it adds significant value to the return. A 2nd is more than fair in this case (because goalie market is wierd), plus he can be very streaky and has the experience as a no'1 to both make the playoffs and then perform in the playoffs - Darling and Mrazek cant compete with that resume' if you were wondering. Lastly, if Vanek was sick of moving he would have signed a 2 year deal. I expect that the NTC is so he can chose the team he moves too, Florida and Columbus didn't exactly reap the success he was looking for, so I expect it gives him more influence on joining a top 4 team (very clever).

More depth that Baikal
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>wagsnags</b></div><div>Thank you for taking the time to put together a team and publish the said team.
A few thoughts:
1. I do not think Mittelstadt will be starting out as the #2C. I believe that Berglund will be the #2C allowing Mittelstadt to develop at the #3C position;
2. I see GMBots starting Thompson, Olofsson & Nylander in Rochester..... This would move Sobotka to the #2LW and ERod the #3LW as it will give Casey & ERod a chance to get to know each other;
3. I think until they are traded the 4 Line will be Wilson (he will not be traded) on the LW, Larsson in the center and Girgensons on the RW.... this moves Pommers to the #3RW;
4. If Housley has Dahlin playing RHD then I see his D partner being Scandella;
I know Sabres fans on CF are not very happy with the trade of ROR but I personally think GMBots did a nice job in moving him.
Thanks for the effort nice job!!!!</div></div>
I agree, the trade was excellent, it makes the roster much more flexible. Still so many more questions than answers going forward though. He will unlikely play more than 60 games, but if he still has the ability, Bogo could be the ideal partner to Dahlin, through his experience and size and sneaky skating ability. I also agree many of the younger players start in Rochester, but with a shot like Olo it will be hard to justify leaving him there long.
Cant wait to see what happens in training camp. I expect most will be sent down.

Best Lineup
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>The_Ultimate_Pielord</b></div><div>Firstly, sign Grabner if you need a 1RW. Likely 30-goal scorer with capable defense. Matt Cane has him projected at 4 years/ 4.5 million (I gave him 6 million: that sounded low to me).
Otherwise:
1. Perlini isn't ready to be a 1LW. Bad possession stats and an unremarkable 17/13/30 statline last year. I'd probably have Keller and Stepan together: Stepan needs a scorer on his wing to perform at maximum effectiveness, while Galchenyuk can act as a scorer in addition to a playmaker.
2. I have Kruger as 3C and Cousins at 4C . There's a lot to e optimistic about with Strome, but he wasn't effective in the NHL last year and the Yotes don't have much reason to rush him. Kruger's got solid possession numbers in ultra-defensive usage, and provides a very strong checking centre.
3. Probably keep Goligoski as 2LD. His CF% and FF% are ugly, but a lot of that can be chalked up to his 44.9 oZs% last year. It's been more of an issue with his usage than him, and a good checking line can fix it IMO. He did also manage a very solid 12/23/35 offensive slashline.
4. Probably add another scorer on the wing (JVR/Neal are the best options if Grabner's signed). You've got a ton of cap space here, keep adding!
Otherwise, solid team. I'm constantly amazed by how little change the Yotes really need.</div></div>
My thinking is that, Keller is the playmaker to Gally the scorer. Perlini is wildly inconsistent, but hopefully he can step-on in the summer, he can become a strong scorer in the NHL, Stepan can be a stablising center for him.
Strome has definitely graduated the AHL, placing Merkley on his wing provides speed and familiar support. 3rd center is a good spot as he can be used and hidden when necessary.
Kruger is the dream 4th center, Lawson Crouse can become Andrew Shaw v2 alongside Kruger. Also Goligoski balances the D group, the bottom 4 getting near identical ice time.
I'm not fond of any of the UFA wingers available, especially past 2 or 3 years of their contract. This is what Todd Cordell says about Grabner. Its hard to argue against, and puts me off.
"Grabner is a useful middle-6 forward but I don't think he's as good as his goal totals over the last couple years suggest.
From 2009-16, his average shooting percentage at 5v5 was 9.82%. In two years with the Rangers it jumped to an unsustainably high 16.06%. The spike in shooting percentage, coupled with a plethora of empty net goals, have inflated his numbers and made him look like a much better scorer than he actually is. The New Jersey Devils found that out the hard way down the stretch.
Grabner has posted a negative Relative Corsi For% in four consecutive years, his goal scoring numbers will almost certainly dip, and he's on the wrong side of 30. Buying high on him seems like a bad idea."

I thought Rick Nash would be ideal, maybe Pacioretty. But Nash will take a pay cut to play for a contender, and if the Coyotes want Pac, then they would have traded him for Domi.

Thanks,
The goalie market is strange, its always very tricky to figure out what sort of values they hold. With Grubauer never being a clear starter, his value therefore isn't the same as Anderson or Schneider, but I considering the competition for his signature, a 2nd round pick might be a fairer offer. I agree, Faulk's value is higher, but the question really is what would be the main piece Carolina get/want in return. In my opinion they are stacked offensively, so Liljegren is really a reset on the RHD depth chart, assuming Carlson can be signed.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GMTD</b></div><div>Five stars for wanting O'Reilly, I will rate the post any way I want just as anyone can.
Let's compare this trade with the trade that DATM gave up to get O'Reilly
Wennberg, A. = Zadorov (2/3 center v 2nd pairing defenseman)
Carlsson, G. = Grigorenko (I do not really know how to value this one)
2018 2nd round pick (CBJ) < 2015 31st over all
nothing <<< Compher
IMO (maybe you want to make a different comparison) this is not enough. I think we can develop a trade but his is insufficient.</div></div>
To my mind, this an offer Buffalo cannot refuse.
Instead of the 2nd rounder, perhaps add in a wildcard like Gavrikov.
Or maybe even make a trade of Wennberg, Murray and Dubinsky for ROR and a pick?

Sabres Vegas trades
Interesting comments above ;) I think the Sabres deal is very fair for both sides. A little less sure on the Vegas side, and pairing Subban with Lehner could end in tears, I would still give Darling another year personally, especially as, to my mind, Alex Nedelkadhfkal;hdf can end up just as good as Subban (he is still a young goalie after all).
Out of interest, what is your opinion of Lindholm?

Personally, OEL isn't my cup of tea, but would definitely elevate the blue line.
But I think the Trouba deal is clever, very innovative and suits both teams. I also really like the Loui and Petterson pair, although I think Dahlen spends time in the AHL first. However Gagner - Pettersson - Loui would look good I reckon.
Nice try on Gudbranson, but we all know, Vancouver are stuck with him.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Shootica</b></div><div>But he's also 33 years old and on the downside of his career.
I have a feeling that you're valuing Carter higher because he's been on a successful team. While that's true, there are many, many more parts that go into a winning team than Jeff Carter or Ryan O'Reilly.
I'm also going to disagree about Carter being a better two way player. ROR finished 11th in Selke voting last year, while Carter finished 36th. Year before that? 33rd and 43rd. So on and so forth. Year in and year out, O'Reilly is voted to be a better two way player while playing on terrible teams with terrible linemates.</div></div>
If you remove the context, and were asked who is better out of Jeff Carter and ROR, it would be Carter, no hesitations. Carter is 33, and remains a top center, don't just assume age is an issue; Getzlaf, Backes, Vanek, Suter, Weber, Crawford, Staal, Burns, Pavelski etc, all the same age and still considered among the best at their position. You've been to caught up in the local opinions of the Sabres.
ROR was bought in to make the Sabres better. Even with a healthy line-up the team struggles. Regardless of how poor the defensive depth is, he's paid $7.5 million a year to be better than the oppositions top lines, and he just isn't. Toward the end of his contract, Carter won't be a top 2 center, but he can take the 3rd center position behind Mittelstadt.
As for Selke voting, I couldn't give a ****.

Because Jeff Carter is sick and has done stuff. ROR is a melt.
Carter is decisive, powerful and competitive. He is a multi-time 30 goal scorer. Although injured, on pace for 30+ goals this year, is also a strong two-way player, can control the game on both sides of the ice. Carter scores big goals in big games.
ROR wins face-offs... This year he had 2 PIM in 81 games. He's just not involved. Can you name a time ROR came up big for Buffalo?
As a deal this helps LA for the long term, and helps Buffalo build a real team now.
