Thread: 25 Man Roster and Under The Cap

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Saskleaf</b></div><div>23 is more than enough. Besides, not sure if you can even legally have a 25 man roster.</div></div>

I think there are some minor injuries or scratches for flu that'll still count against the cap. Maybe it's to show there's room for callups if this happens?

Thread: If your LA why hold onto these two

You hold onto those players because they are going to be excellent mentors. What Kopitar will be able to teach Byfield and Doughty will be able to teach any defensive prospect they have will help massively in building a strong foundation to have a wiiiide open cup window in the future. They're still producing and strong at their positions. You need some production / key players even in a rebuild.

Thread: Spinning the Wheel

Hmmm, I'd definitely prefer taking a 3rd rather than retained salary like in another one of these I saw ( was that you as well just doing the NJ side?). I think I would be happy with this trade at the end of the day, even Palmieri didn't re-sign. He is worth a 1st+. Zacha could use a fresh start and on a team with two other Czechmates would be great for him.

I would like to see Kammy get a roster spot though and Kaut could be the main call up after a warm up 10 game or so run in the A.

It also wouldn't be the worst getting a 2nd for Nich, I do like him but it would be a steal of a deal for us IMO.

EDIT: Ahhh it WAS you in that other one.
EDIT x2: I also appreciate you asking for the 2021 1st, that is the soonest one I am happy trading away. Especially if the Avs get extra 2nds and 3rds in the end.

Thread: That Florida trade with a twist

Wow! I needed those charts and now learned of this charting hockey site which is sick. I think my impressions of Weegar and Dermott were outdated. I was like how is Weegar better than Dermott? For some reason I just wasn't paying that much attention to the Panthers... kinda like their own fans. However, they were a lot fun to watch when I caught them vs the Avs. Definitely a team with some beasts on it no doubt.

Thread: thinking out loud

Can't say I am stoked about that Avs trade. The retained salary doesn't really help the Avs when they've got plenty of space for the time of KP's current contract. I don't know how badly we want Zacha when Kaut is our main Czechmate and we have Newhook, Bowers and Kamenev on the rise in C. I am happy giving up Jost and Zads for Palmieri straight up though. Don't know how much that would tickle a devils fan's fancy.

Thread: If they do rebuild

1) I'd pick whoever's normal buyout would mess up the Sharks the most. I am assuming that's Vlasic.
2) I'd say don't, it'd be better to get a lesser return and draft in the top 5 for multiple drafts, no retained salary and now the prospects you've drafted are likely better than the one in the possible better return.
3) Honestly if the team is in rebuild mode, keep the ones who refuse to waive, those are the big names you want to mentor your new prospects. They clearly love it there. Also, I'd keep Couture forever.
4) Vlasic was already answered. I bet if the team is rebuild mode Karlsson would probably want out anyways.

Thread: Question from Sabres fan

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JayTea</b></div><div>
The issue is Granlund isn't a center and hasn't been for years. If they need to go back to past centers they've used, I'd rather they try to get Haula if they can't figure something else out.</div></div>

Oh I see, also wasn't Haula feeling burned by the Hanzal trade going down and watching his ice time go down? Mind you same logic with Granlund I suppose in terms of who knows how burnt that bridge is. I guess there aren't really any centres out there this UFA.

Thread: Question from Sabres fan

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>OldNYIfan</b></div><div>I think that your trade is well thought out and right on value in isolation, but with Koivu on the verge of retirement and Rask no better than a #3C, the trade leaves Minnesota without a #1C <strong>OR</strong> a #2C.</div></div>

Minnesota could solve that in UFA, they can pull UFAs when they have to (Parise, Suter, Zucc, Vanek, etc) and also Johansson could be part of going the other way, maybe in place of Samuelsson or Asplund gets replaced with a slightly less potential prospect like Pekar? I don't know how burnt that bridge is but Granlund would be a great piece to pick up in UFA. He was the only Wild member I couldn't dislike.

Thread: Unpopular opinion about Subban

I see Weber having a Chara-esque effect in his later years. He'll be decent defensively although likely slower, he still will have a ripper of a shot and of course as mentioned before, his intangibles and leadership will instill a good attitude and feel in this team for years to come. Subban is all about the Subban show. Which is great for retiring in NJ and joining the shore.

I really need to brush up but I'll give it a go and see how hard I make the Francophones laugh at my unpracticed, Albertan French.

Est-ce juste moi ou les 10M et 7 contrats disponibles devraient servir à trouver : -> Is it just me or should this 10 mil (of cap space) and 7 contracts that are available should serve to find
Un ailier droit Top 6 meilleur que Kovalchuk -> Top 6 Right shot winger better than Kovalchuk
Un défenseur gaucher Top 4 meilleur que Scandella -> Top 4 Left shot D man better than Scandella
Un 2e gardien meilleur que Kinkaid ou Niemi -> Backup goalie better than Kinkaid or Niemi

C'est le temps de dépenser à court terme, avant de devoir re-signer ton 1er trio au double du prix. -> Now is the time to save in the short term before you have to your first trio at double the price.

Thread: Where does this team finish

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>csick</b></div><div>I chose all offensive D and bad goaltenders on purpose</div></div>

Interesting,

I think San Jose shows that if your defense is too offensive and goaltending is subpar, your season will suffer despite your roster looking well. The 2014 Avs had horrendous D and ROR+Stastny were picking up the slack defensively and Varlamov stood on his head so much that he is now a injury liability. I would say this team would not make the playoffs. This team would lose 6-4 or 7-5 regularly. The games would be sick but the team would not be effective.

Thread: Next Year-DLine Prospects Playing

Getting younger by re-signing Dillon and Kovalchuk, and then signing Thornton? I don't know if youth is the focus aside from goaltending which I think Copley and Sam should be able to pull off 40 games each quite decently.

Thread: Sharks Next

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Bf3351</b></div><div>Exactly. I bet if the Sharks never signed Karlsson, Burns would have over 70 points right now. I seriously believe that Karlsson move single handedly put them into rebuild mode.</div></div>

Yeah it was kind of a head scratcher for everyone when it happened. Also, I think another team would've bitten on Karlsson. It didn't HAVE to be San Jose. That extension though, oh man. And yeah I bet Burns would be killing it, same with Karlsson on say NYR or something. Some players need to be the #1 offensive Dman to be excellent, look at Barrie. Killed it on Avs, super on and off on Leafs

Thread: Sharks Next

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Bf3351</b></div><div>Please explain. Sharks are headed straight to a rebuild. Wilson has been doing the same thing as you are right now for decades, trying to keep the dream alive. Sharks will never be a playoff winning team with their current players.</div></div>

I thought I read reports where Wilson was saying next year is all about getting back into the playoffs. I think I agree with you where there is not a lot he can do and it's not like he can get the return for Karlsson that he gave. Sharks should just be bad for a few years. Sorry it's during these awful contracts to Burns, Karlsson, Jones and Vlasic but also those contracts are kind of to blame.

Thread: For argument sake byfield

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>arafay</b></div><div>Mb. Any thoughts?</div></div>

Fair response, I think Scheifele would be a great mentor for Byfield and that those two would make an insane 1 - 2 punch at centre. I just think he may go 2nd over Stutzle. I'd think a Drysdale would be a good pick considering Winnipeg's D situation and it looks right now that the Blues pick may not get you Schneider.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Bf3351</b></div><div>Regardless of who the players are it still takes most KHL players over a year to adapt to the NHL. Some adjust, some don't.</div></div>

That's quite true, you just don't know if you're looking at a Roman Cervenka or a Sergei Bobrovsky. That being said if Montreal is trading away Price and Domi, chances are they're in development mode and will find out quickly. Also, they have each other which could help quite a bit. Especially since they're coming from the same team in the K if I am not mistaken. That could help development along, especially with Kovy as their mentor. I like the setup here.

I like both trades. Does Sorokin sign though?

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Bf3351</b></div><div>If any NHL team had this many KHL players they'd get killed every game.</div></div>

I mean a KHL All-star team could probably go toe to toe with quite a few NHL teams. Also, these are young and growing prospects for the most part so it's a bit of different story.
