The future is now. The rebuild in 5-7 years will be soothed by Stanley Cup rings.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Just_A_Guess</b></div><div>They're also "dumping" Barrie who is a complete defensive nightmare making 4.5 mil.</div></div>

should watch him this year. forget that, even the underlying defensive numbers have been good. he's in this deal purely to make numbers work. I think it's an overpay, but it's likely what will be req'd.

sorry, but he's leaving a perennial first round loser for a team that was in a conference final. enough.

Thread: Id rather this than EK

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ceeque84</b></div><div>Chychrun is gonna cost Broberg, A 1rst, +
Id rather send Broberg then 2 first rnd picks anyways since with Kulak signed for the bottom pairing & Chychrun incoming they wouldnt have a spot for Broberg anyways.
Pass on Edmundson, get a actual right shot shutdown dman instead.

Nurse-Bouch
Chych-Ceci
Kulak-??</div></div>

Sorry but Bouch can't play there yet. One day maybe but he ain't ready for prime time. I'd run Nurse-Ceci still with Chych-Bouch maybe... I'd be ok depending on who came in. Nemo not ready to be full-time NHLer either.

I agree. You have to thin out too much to shed $. If a 3rd team gets involved maybe you can do it.

based on what I've seen that's even more than what AZ is asking for. Did that to blow their doors off and ensure EDM gets the player.

Thread: needs

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>wabit</b></div><div>I'd consider it too. I'm a big fan of Foligno, but I think he's due to fall off a cliff. I've cooled on Poolparty too.

I'd probably do it if a MN got a 4th and didn't give up any picks, Foligno is currently a better (more impactful) player. Also no $100k retention, it's just a waste of a retention slot for 2 years.</div></div>

If I were the other GM negotiating, I'd argue sure but you get the younger player with more upside who will be helped by a change of scenery. What if the 5 goes your way, $100k retention stays. Money's tight.

Thread: patty

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>HockeyIsMyPassion61</b></div><div>Rangers and Leafs will offer a far better deal than this for Patrick Kane. 2 cap dumps in Tyson Barrie and Warren Foegele isn't going to cut it.</div></div>

Maybe there's a pick or 2 more. Quality players in Puljujarvi and Bourgault and frankly Barrie too. Very capable still if you watched the playoffs. Was even logging some solid shutdown mins. I would not class Barrie as a pure cap dump

Thread: 19 trade

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>yycofred</b></div><div>No need for Stastny, Mangiapane can play on that line no problem. Coleman Backlund Pelletier would be a good line to shelter Pelletier. Valimaki wither in the A or moved, Kylington deal to play with Tanev which was a very solid pair last season. No need for Rodrigues, Monahan will play 3C.

The trade itself is fine I think, I just don't think Calgary wants to take on 5 years of Krug if they need to move him again for a rebuild. Defensively this team is as sound as they were last season if Markstrom shows up in playoffs plus Kadri I think they lose more regular season games but have a better chance at a run in the playoffs.</div></div>

Not from what I've read. Sharks could if they wanted retain the player and try to salvage assets. IMO best case scenario for Oilers.
