ARMCHAIR-GM TEAMS

Thread: Does this make sense for Ottawa

Dzingel is a UFA in the summer and EDM likely isn't making the playoffs. Why not try to sign him July 1st and keep those assets?

He isn't losing confidence - he's been playing 1st pairing minutes with a raw rookie for the past month. He played with Nurse against Detroit and did quite well. Besides, Klefbom will be back after the break (EDM's next game). Larsson will be just fine.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Whoppingjoker11</b></div><div>I can see how it would look like a bad deal but Larsson is losing confidence in Edm and Spooner is as useless as a bag of rocks. Gagner is too but I thought it'd be nice to have Gagner with the team that drafted him for whats most likely his last contract lol</div></div>

Gagner for Spooner is pretty much a wash - a change of scenery to see if either guy gets a spark back.

Larsson + 3rd for Tanev is a huge loss. Don't do it, just don't.

Thread: Kelly McCrimmons First Week

There will be no GM hired until June, so I think your whole premise is way off. EDM should be sellers at the deadline... McCrimmon can take a swing at Stone in the summer without losing Yamamoto or 2 high picks.

Huge no on the OTT deal. Russell is a useful NHL defenseman.

Werenski isn't a huge upgrade on Nurse. Wennberg is a huge downgrade on Nuge.

THAT's not selling high on Nuge.

Thread: CHIARELLI TRIBUTE

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>kopakola</b></div><div>You’re saying trading a guy that didn’t win MVP until after he was traded, and went from a PPG to under for two years before the trade, is worse than a guys that was hitting 160 points before and after the trade? Larsson with Greene was the best shut down d pair before the trade.</div></div>

Yeah, I hate the Hall trade as much as the next guy, but his boxcars in his last two EDM seasons weren't MVP-worthy:

53, 14-24-38
82, 26-39-65

His first season in NJ wasn't phenomenal either:

72, 20-33-53

Great player, an uneven trade from the moment it was announced made worse by Hall winning MVP in his second year with the new team - but not the worst trade Chiarelli has made and not even close to the worst all-time.

Thread: CHIARELLI TRIBUTE

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Joffe16</b></div><div>Gretzky trade was bad but we LITERALLY TRADE A LEAGUE MVP for a bottom pair defenseman.

<strong>I would rather have some guy being injured all year</strong> then have Lucic getting no points and racking up PIMs on the fourth line

Regardless, the deal has ended up horribly, he never should’ve given that old of a player six years with that kind of cap hit</div></div>

Kesler's production when healthy is FAR below Lucic's. And again, the Sekera injury is not Chiarelli's fault. Sometimes it turns out that way, the GM has literally ZERO control over if a player gets injured. If McDavid sustains a career-ending injury, do you fire the GM for signing that contract? That's just stupid.

Thread: CHIARELLI TRIBUTE

Don't forget the 2nd round pick in the 2017 draft that the Oilers had to give Boston just for hiring Chiarelli - even though PC had been fired from Boston for sucking at his job.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CD282</b></div><div>Yes, #16 + #33 for a 2nd pairing AHL defenseman. At least in the Hall trade Edmonton got a useful piece back.</div></div>

Also the Eberle debacle. Nothing useful in return AND a $3.1M cap hit. This one at least has a chance at partial redemption as Spooner has a history of scoring at top-6 rates and he isn't in an age-related decline, but until then it's a worse trade than the Hall deal.

Thread: CHIARELLI TRIBUTE

1. Lucic Contract (6 x 7, might be worst Contract in league history easily the worst right now)

Kesler's is worse - more money, same term, less production, injury-prone.

Forum: Armchair-GM19 hours ago

Thread: CHIARELLI TRIBUTE

The Sekera contract wasn't a bad one, he was full value for that money until he got injured. The injury isn't Chiarelli's fault (I can't believe I'm defending Chiarelli here!!).

Yes, #16 + #33 for a 2nd pairing AHL defenseman. At least in the Hall trade Edmonton got a useful piece back.

Puljujarvi was consensus #3, that was not a bad pick. His development path was terrible but that's not all on the GM.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Eli</b></div><div>Vrana is outscoring Tarasenko this year. </div></div>

Just about everything you post is utter horse****.

Tarasenko: 47, 16-15-31 0.66 p/g
Vrana: 48, 15-11-26 0.54 p/g

Tarasenko has more goals, more assists and more points in fewer games.

Thread: Not fan of EDM But what the hell are they doing

CHIARELLI, noun.

Synonym: Gudbrand on the Hill-side, Norwegian folk tale.

<em>The story is about Gudbrand and his wife, who live on a hillside and get along very well. They own two cows and decide to bring one to town to sell. When Gudbrand arrives in town, he is unable to sell his cow but since he is just as well off as before, he heads back home.

On his way home, he runs into a man who has a horse, and he trades the cow for the horse. Next, he meets a man with a pig, and trades the horse for the pig. Then he comes to a man with a goat, and trades the pig for the goat. He trades his goat with a man who has a sheep. After the sheep, he trades with another for a goose. Then in the same manner he acquires a rooster. He then realizes he is famished and needs food, so he sells his rooster for to buy some food, leaving him to go on empty-handed.</em>

Antonym: Kyle MacDonald, Canadian blogger.

<em>The story is about a man who bartered his way from a single red paperclip to a house in a series of fourteen online trades over the course of a year.</em>
