Karlsson's contract is ugly. Going to cost VGK to move that imo

Thread: Nucks - one can dream

Is the dream to tank for Bedard?

These are some terrible returns for Miller and Pearson. Lundkvist can't even perform at AHL level, not sure how we put him into the top 4 next season. If we trade Pearson it will be to clear cap space not to replace him with an overpaid 4th liner in Kassian. Pearson has value, EDM will have to pay someone to take on Kassian's contract and it shouldn't be VAN.

Massive downgrade on the team from 2021-22 season.

Mikheyev is an OK addition. Bjugstad is ok too, maybe a little injury prone but fills a need as a RH 4C. Doesn't use his size unfortunately.

Thread: realistic offseason

Not enough for Deslauriers and also probably not enough for McLeod.

Pretty sure a team like BUF or ARI would take on Klefbom (who is LTIRetired) for free. As long as his contract is insured, it costs them nothing and they use his cap hit to exceed the cap floor.

Thread: Vegas

Very weak goaltending and there's no way Roy and Hague sign for those deals. Probably not Zadina either.

I like the $10m 3C though! Classic...

Thread: Off Season Moves Part II

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>tkecanuck341</b></div><div>A Canuck is a person from Canada. I'm not, nor have I ever been a fan of the Vancouver hockey team.

The Kings definitely need help on scoring. I don't think Boeser is the answer. For one, he's never cracked 30g in his career. Additionally, the Kings are looking to become a fast team, and Boeser is a below-average skater, at best. There are a lot of other goal scorers I'd look at before Boeser.

I've been advocating for the Kings to trade Kempe as well. I don't think he's worth anywhere near the extension that he's going to want. If Kempe wants more than $4.5M AAV on his next contract, then the Kings should get rid of him.</div></div>

Fair enough. I agree Boeser's skating is below average. He is really a sniper, so he can be an excellent complementary piece to the right line/team and is easily worth the trade pieces proposed, plus a long term contract in the $6m range. Although he hasn't cracked 30 goals in a season, his whole career has been on pace for 30 goals per 82 games (121 goals in 324 games).

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>tkecanuck341</b></div><div>Boeser's QO is for $7.5M. He's not signing for less than that.

Boeser isn't worth $7.5M. Don't want him on my team. Certainly not worth giving up a haul like that for him.</div></div>

Your profile name made me think you were a Canuck fan, but from your comment, I guess you are an LAK supporter.

Boeser is actually likely to sign a long term contract for less than his QO.

Also you don't think LAK need help on scoring? Boeser has averaged 0.8 ppg over 5 seasons, compared to say Kempe who have averaged less than 0.5 ppg for 5 seasons.

Thread: My Seattle Expansion Team

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NV94</b></div><div>Seattle could have put together a far more exiting and sellable team than what they got.

Yes but another reason for that is that VGK have chosen to trade all their prospects to win now (e.g. Krebs, Suzuki, Glass, Brannstrom, etc). You don't have to take that approach.

Thread: Run Silent Run Deep

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Knuckl3s</b></div><div>Kravtsov and Chytil are more reclamation projects, and I wouldn't call Chytil a fringe NHLer. Jones and Lundkvist are both prospects</div></div>

Sorry for the confusion...

The 3LW = Chytil (we already have Pearson, Dickinson, Hoglander that can play 3LW)

The 3 fringe NHLers are:
Lundkvist - played 25 NHL games this season
Kravtsov - played 20 NHL games last season, none this season
Jones - played 22 games over last 2 seasons

They are not really prospects anymore, they are tweeners struggling to make an NHL roster that haven't performed very well at the NHL level.

VAN already has Rathbone, who is a smaller sized Dman like Lundkvist and Jones, and he is out-performing both in the AHL.

I guess my point is that I would want a serious piece coming back in a trade for Miller (like a high pick or a top level prospect or player) not a 5 low level guys and a late pick.

Forum: Armchair-GMMay 12 at 5:44 p.m.

Thread: Run Silent Run Deep

The package proposed for Miller is a 3LW + 3 fringe NHL players + a 2023 1st (probably in the 15-30 range). Not exactly what I'd call a "haul"

VAN would be better going after a return that nets them a fewer number of weak pieces and trading for something more proven or with a higher potential ceiling. Otherwise just resign Miller. In 3 seasons in VAN he is averaging over 1.07 ppg.

Obviously this would be AFTER the lottery. But not sure why you wouldn't be interested in moving up from around the 15OA pick to around the 7OA pick? Could put us within range of picking Jiricek

Just use the income tax calculator on Capfriendly. Florida would have to offer Marchment at least a $3.1m contract to end up with more take-home pay than a $3.875m contract in Anaheim

Agreed. But there is more in those deals than the value of the players. Dickinson is a cap dump, Boeser is a pending RFA with a 7.5m QO. These things affect trade values.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TZ11</b></div><div>Ducks accept, Canucks don't. They'd want more for Boeser.</div></div>

Yeah there may need to be an add from ANA, or switch for ANA's 2022 1st round pick, but I think this could be the basis of a deal. Boeser would be a good piece for ANA to add to their young roster.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>remowilliams</b></div><div>Any Miller trade STARTS With Byram.IMHO.</div></div>

Byram is too risky with concussion history and he's a LHD where VAN is stacked on LHD for next half century.

A Miller trade is more likely targeting Newhook + Barron

I like the idea of the Donskoi-Dickinson trade.

Boeser is probably going to ask for more than 5.9m.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Fotiu4U</b></div><div>5 pieces for Miller is an overpay anyway you look at it. And if Chytil and Krav are just "throw ins", why do you want them? Rangers give you a very easy no thanks. Shop Miller elsewhere.</div></div>

I don't want those players, as I said, VAN already has better players in their system. Adding more pieces to a trade doesn't make it any better. If NYR calls VAN asking for Miller they will have to give up better prospects or players than Lundkvist, Chytil and Kravtsov.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Masonh618</b></div><div>Why are you paying a package to Vancouver that mirrors Jack Eichel?</div></div>

Two reasons:
1. Potential career ending neck injury
2. $10m cap hit

Both guys are ppg players.

Two shots at a Cup with Miller at $2.6m is worth a lot.

Thread: final nyr tdl realistic

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Fotiu4U</b></div><div>Way overpay</div></div>

The 2022 1st is a given. But its a late pick. Adding Lundkvist + 2023 2nd is not enough to get you Miller, especially with 50% retained. At his full cap hit you might be close.

Kravtsov & Chytil are throw ins worth virtually nothing to VAN, who has better players in its system already.
