Thread: Captain O Captain
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jimbo1119</b></div><div>Blais to Hartford- I think players can be sent to AHL for a conditioning stint (I believe Hajek did that last year)...just not sure how that works or which players can take advantage of that w/o waivers.</div></div>

Player must agree to the conditioning assignment. The assignment can not last longer than 2 weeks. Depending on the AHL season start and Preseason it could be a good thing to look in to for Blais. However Blais would get more hockey in if he stays with NYR before his conditioning stint would be completed. 12 games instead of 9 if he is sent down with the conditioning assignment on the 9th of October. I would think if he was a top line player it would be better off for him to take that assignment but with the fewer games and such I don't think it is worth it.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>PuckLuck_77</b></div><div>That's not true, unfortunately. The Kings have Drew Doughty, who's still an elite defender, followed by a sincerely below average defense. That's been part of the problem in LA. There were certainly strides made this year with the progression of Roy and Walker, but when Ben Hutton is your top-pairing defender with Drew Doughty, you aren't a "decent NHL defense".</div></div>

To be fair as well. The Kings just need to accept a rebuild anyway. Most of the core is over 30 and their skills are starting to show diminishment. Getting Laf would be the start of the rebuild and using the depth they have acquired for Center will help too. There are some quality defensemen in the draft and UFA has some young better options.

Thread: Hard Tank + Hard Pivot to Contention Via Free Agency
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SuprDave45</b></div><div>I get it, but what they "could do" is still very dependent on the moves you make, players you get back, players promoted, cap space etc. It's hard to predict or comment or see the idea pan out when you really haven't completed the painting.

Definitely agree about Hughes, the Rangers just aren't that lucky! lol Was just wondering if the player they end up drafting in this scenario is someone that can be penciled in right away.</div></div>

I am expecting the Rangers to target a defenseman with these moves to be honest. I would think Bowen Byram is the target here. He MAY be ready for 2019/2020 season and I would think additional moves could be done depending on Tampa's pick.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Skeating622</b></div><div>This mock i went for the Bridge deal with Skjei. it's gonna be that or 6 @5.25 to lock him up long term,.
I did 3 for Spooner as i was unsure i was trading Hayes until started this. if he goes 4 years he'll get 4.375(ish)

Calgary huh ? Interesting i might redo this with them

Was on the fence with buying out Staal since suffering through another year would alleviate the cap hit &amp; the D is young and IMAGINE if a new coach/system has him find some of his game &amp; he becomes tradeable?
i know i know crazy talk but it's Friday &amp; i'm feeling optimistic.</div></div>

Ok I can get behind the bridge deal and I think if we are getting rid of Hayes then Spooner should be here for an extra year. I hear you on young players and all but if we do get a defenseman then I think Staal is the most likely to be gone.
