Thread: Where Does Hall Go?

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Munsen88</b></div><div>I recently made a comment on a facebook group about Hall possibly going back to Edmonton and the Oilers fans ripped that idea apart. (it was a very thin rumor at the time) Is Taylor not a good teammate as suggested, or is that bunk?</div></div>

I'm not sure there's a team in more desperate need of Hall than EDM. They will not make the playoffs this season with their current roster.

Thread: Six teams Hall trade Rental

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Brian2016</b></div><div>Exactly. And Hall is more valuable than Pacioretty, but he signed an extension. Kyrou is nothing more than an excellent minor league player at this point. He's a 2016 Draft pick. Not like he's 19 and putting up huge numbers.</div></div>

That being said, I probably would trade Kyrou for Hall as a rental, but it's a very tough decision. STL is already deep enough to win the Cup again, but they're not the favorite. Acquiring an elite offensive talent, whose actually healthy, would make STL the team to beat, in my opinion.

Exactly. And Hall is more valuable than Pacioretty, but he signed an extension. Kyrou is nothing more than an excellent minor league player at this point. He's a 2016 Draft pick. Not like he's 19 and putting up huge numbers.

Thread: Six teams Hall trade Rental

Why isn't Ray Shero allowing interested teams to talk extension w/ Hall prior to a potential trade? An extension could increase the return substantially.

Reality is starting to show for Devils fans. Not quite the return we all had in mind a few weeks ago.

Thread: Tweaks

Right now I believe Georgiev is worth at least a 2nd rounder AND a top 9 Forward. It's gonna cost the Leafs either Johnsson or Kap plus a 2nd rounder or a prospect, in my opinion.

Thread: Hall Georgiev

And just for the record, I don't think the Oilers make the playoffs this season unless they significantly bolster their goaltending and 5on5 scoring. Mike Smith is a disaster right now.

Thread: Hall Georgiev

Georgiev is much younger and much, much better than Talbot. The Freddy trade is def. a pretty good comparable, though. But, I expect the Rangers' asking price to be higher b/c they know how ridiculously high the demand is right now for a young #1. I see no fewer than 10 teams in need of a new, young #1: EDM, CHI, LAK, BUF, CGY, CAR, SJS, DET, MIN, and CBJ. That being said, I think SJS is the clear frontrunner. No chance the Leafs give up major assets for a rental backup Goalie, unless, of course, they plan on flipping him next summer.

Thread: Where Does Hall Go?

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>krakowitz</b></div><div>While all this is true, you're trading for Taylor Hall because of his offense. Given the Coyotes system, it would have to change if a guy like Hall is brought in, given the price you pay for that player.</div></div>

Is there a chance Hall actually plays for the Coyotes tonight against the Devils? I think given the way things transpired last night he's gotta be traded today. My guess is it's not gonna be Colorado or it would have happened already. At least if he goes to ARI the Devils fans won't get to boo him until next season at the earliest. They already played in NJ.

Thread: Desperate Times

It also doesn't help that Timo isn't playing as well as he was last season. This is a team that simply cannot afford to miss the playoffs given that their 1st rounder already belongs to the Sens.

Thread: Desperate Times

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Eklund</b></div><div>It’s not really just trading Labanc but he is our only scoring RW. It’s a very very bad idea.

You’re filling one hole while massively digging another one deeper by tenfold.</div></div>

I posted the trade to make a point that if the Sharks don't address their goalie issues nothing else really matters. I understand how essential Labanc is to the team's success, but they really don't have many other assets that will entice a team like the Rangers to trade their young, affordable Goalie. If anyone has any better ideas, I'm sure Doug Wilson is listening, lol.

Forum: Armchair-GMFri at 4:41 am

Thread: Desperate Times

I know most people will think that trading Labanc is an overpay, but Georgiev is the #1 Goalie they desperately need if they're gonna turn their season around. And I just don't see the Rangers trading their #1 for futures. In fact, Labanc might not even be enough to seal the deal.

Forum: Armchair-GMFri at 4:34 am

Thread: How desperate are SJS

Georgiev is gonna cost a ton right now in a trade. I know it has to be tempting, but why trade him for a 1st rounder? He's only 23 and he's already a #1. He should be worth a young top six Forward or top 4 D right now. Maybe I would trade him for Kevin Labanc, but nothing less.

Forum: Armchair-GMFri at 12:22 am

Thread: Kreid or Die

McElhinney was so solid for the Canes last season. He's over a goal per game worse this season so far.

Would Lundqvist actually waive his NMC??? I realize it's TBL, but he'd be the #2 and ride the pine during the playoffs unless Vas got injured.

Forum: Armchair-GMFri at 12:03 am

Thread: Trade or Waive Mike Smith ASAP

I believe that EDM will almost certainly miss the playoffs this season w/o addressing their goaltending situation. I'm not even suggesting Kinkaid is the solution, but Mike Smith is weak as **** and Koskinen cannot play 60+ games and be effective enough. I just watched Smith allow some terribly soft goals tonight vs. one of the weakest offensive teams in the league. His save % now sits around .890 despite playing behind a pretty solid defensive team.

Thread: What if pens got 1st pic in 04

Maybe Ovechkin would already have career 800G. Or maybe he'd struggle to find chemistry with Sid and/or Geno. Either way, I think things have worked out pretty well for both teams.

Thread: Does Anyone Know the Record for Most Coaches Fired During an NHL Season?

We're already at 5! Could we possibly see 10 coaches fired in a single season?

I think the following 6 teams have the potential for a coaching change (based only on on-ice factors. Obviously, nobody can predict another Jim Montgomery-type firing) in-season:

DET: I thought Yzerman was gonna ride it out until the summer, but how many more consecutive losses can the Wings endure, especially when they lose every night by 4G?

NSH/CHI: Clearly, Laviolette and Collitan are on the hot seats in NSH and CHI respectively. If Lav is fired there'll probably be 5 teams ready to hire him next for season.

MIN is probably overachieving so Bruce is probably safe. Personally, I think he's an excellent coach, especially during the regular season.

TBL: The most intriguing situation has to be with Coach Coop in Tampa. If the Lightning are outside of a playoff spot in mid-January I think they'll make a major change (could be a significant trade instead, though).

VAN: Travis Greene in Vancouver is another tough situation to gauge . I think his team will remain a bubble team throughout the season, but a 5 game losing streak will probably end his tenure.

At least NSH plays in the tougher division. SJS should easily be top 3 in the Pacific w/ their roster. The Preds should def. be better, but they're still 4 games over .500. and 1 point up on the Sharks despite playing 4 fewer games.

Thread: Who is the next coach to be fired

Peter DeBoer has to be the next coach out of a job. The Sharks are falling fast. I don't blame him at all for the team's poor play though. Too many bad contracts and poor cap management by Doug Wilson.

Thread: Pietrangelo trade

They could always make him an offer on July 1st if he's still unsigned. No need to overpay at the deadline, especially since MTL is still a top six Forward away from being serious contenders. I also firmly believe that CC is untouchable at this point.
