Thread: Severson

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Book_Hockey</b></div><div>What would it take to get Ehlers? Severson + Holtz, ?</div></div>

I think there would be an insurrection at Portage and Main (our famous intersection) if our GM would trade Ehlers.

Thread: Severson

Sevo for Schmidt isn't happening, he won't have a place on the roster behind Siegenthaler and Graves/Hughes. Same problem with Dillon. DeMelo would be interesting with a good enough sweetener but would face the same problem behind Hamilton, Nemec, and Marino after this year.

Thread: Tkachuk attempt

Even as a Dev fan, I'm not sure that package would be compelling enough, unless Calgary was 100% sure MT wants out near term. I'm kind of holding out hope for Flames ... I don't think it's far fetched they lock him up, now that Johnny Hockey money has freed up. They have another $5m of space opening up after the season with Lucic.

Trade aside. Seems a bit optimistic to get Bratt on a contract like that at this point.

I would assume so. Between this and the Nemec pick, I don't see where he'd fit into the plan moving forward.

Might be a deadline deal though.

Thread: Josh Anderson to Calgary

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SMH</b></div><div>Habs would never go for such a trade, not in a million years</div></div>

i will never get why Habs fans overvalue a 28 year old winger with one (1) 20-goal season in the 6 seasons he's been a full-timer yet still somehow has 5 years of $5.5M left. Pelletier looks like a top-6 guy and Valimaki gives you the chance to not roll out an LD depth chart that's Joel Edmundson and 2 rookies, plus it clears about $3M off this year's cap. I honestly don't see why -Calgary- would even offer a package that includes arguable their top prospect - this package is close to what they gave up for Tyler Toffoli, a guy with a much better track record and a cheaper deal.

Thread: Still Need A Top Winger

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>pocke</b></div><div>I don't think Smith is what CBJ would be looking for. We have Bean already at the bottom of our LD. We have Christiansen who is serviceable in a 3rd pairing role and we have Mateychuk coming up in a couple of years.

I think we'd much rather give a look at Dawson Mercer.

That being said, CBJ will move Voracek/Nyquist/Bean/Boqvist before trading Laine for assets (unless he wants a ridiculous contract, but Jarmo doesn't seem bothered yet).</div></div>

Mercer would be a none starter for me. Very promising rookie year. Seems to be a solid top 6 contributor sooner than later. Since other comments are saying “overpay”, why not just take Smith out completely? Sharangovich and a 1st for Laine?

Anderson > Romanov by a ton. Had you seen Romanov for 13OA ACGM, before the trade happened, you would have flamed it. Everyone agrees it was an overpayment by a lot! For a defenceman that doesnt produce any offense. That was every Isles fans take in Anderson and you got a black hole of offence from Romy</div></div>

Thread: Factor in the MacK extension

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Book_Hockey</b></div><div>I agree with everything you said here, but it’s important to note that Crosby’s situation is a little bit different. When he signed is 5/43M deal in 2008, the cap was 56,300,000, meaning his 8.7M deal accounted for 15% of the cap. It obviously went down from there, with his next deal in 2013 initially accounting for 13.5% of the cap (using 64,300,000 as a the cap). If Mackinnon took 13.5% of the cap in 2023, his salary would be 11.272M. So while Crosby never took 10M, he always took up a significant portion of his teams cap space</div></div>

Makes sense, still think he takes under $12 million at least, we will see what the number is. Have to think they sign the extension this summer and don't wait until next year.

Thread: Big package

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Koskinen_The_Great</b></div><div>lol Bratt better than JT.</div></div>

This past season JFresh had Bratt at 92nd percentile for WAR and Miller at 85th.

Bratt was nearly a point per game this year, his draft year plus 6 season. In his D+6, Miller had 56 points in a full 82 games, at the time his career high.

Miller has eclipsed a point per game twice in his career, and at 29 this year's 99 points are more than likely going to be his career high. Bratt is 23, and has 3-5 years of prime immediately in front of him.

Miller has one year left before hitting UFA, whereas Bratt can be signed to 7, or bridged for 3 and then signed to 8 for 11 years of control.
