Thread: Fantasy Team

There's no context to this whatsoever. Scoring system, type of league: keeper or redraft , starter positions etc.

If it's keeper I think you can see if a package of Byram and a forward can get you a stud C. Or Hamilton and a forward.
But Dobber is a better site to be asking fantasy questions

Thread: Ottawa Senators signed Tim Stützle (8 Years / $8,350,000 AAV)

There's always risk but my goodness he looked amazing the last 30 games. Dictated play in a third of them. He's still 21 and growing as a player so yeah. A little aggressive for maybe the 1st year but I think in year 2 it will look great.
Top 2 C not over 8.5m. I'm more worried about Norris but Cap going up in 3 years, could be amazing... Could be awful lol. Can't wait to find out

Thread: 2023 Draft Pick - Cameron Allen

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jonh514</b></div><div>Basically the only way most teams are trading their top RHD prospect is for a top 3 pick or an established PPG player aged 27 and younger...</div></div>

Yeah or a wild package (the seth Jones trade is bananas a D they got a top rated RHD prospect in the trade haha)

I forgot to say, if I was a Habs fan, I would love a top 5 pick this year and use it on a centre no question. With how good the prospects are, this is a franchise changing draft (or so it seems). If fantilli and Bedard are gone, Habs could do Dvorsky, Yager like you said, but also Wood (6'3 C), Callum Ritchie (6'2 C), Leo Carlson (6'3 C/W) all with elite offensive potential. I'd be pumped to get any of these guys

Thread: 2023 Draft Pick - Cameron Allen

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jonh514</b></div><div>I mean of course. But we're talking now. He's currently ranked like 10th overall. But I bet he climbs... If Habs draft 4 or later... they should consider organizational need over best player available.</div></div>

Then as of now, no I wouldn't. The forward group in this class is wildly skilled, particularly centers. I'd say ideally Suzuki is the 2 C with a more offensively skilled 2c. Or if Suzuki steps up his offensive game then you have a backstrom/kuznetsov scenario. 1a/1b.

And you're right he probably will climb just because he is a game controlling RHD. How much depends on the next 5 months

Thread: 2023 Draft Pick - Cameron Allen

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>pretzelcoatl</b></div><div>Never draft for organizational need, period. If you have a surplus of elite centers, for example, you can trade one to fill a hole elsewhere. Devils drafted Nemec since they "have too many centers," but will Nemec be better than Wright or Cooley? Couldn't they just trade Wright for a defenseman to fill that hole <em>and then some?</em></div></div>

That might have been true 10 years ago. But it's not as black and white now. We just saw 2 organizations draft for organizational need/want/prospect scarcity in 2022. Habs drafting Slaf and NJ drafting Nemec. Nemec was purely organizational need/scarcity (RHD studs are crazy hard to find) and Slaf was was organization want/scarcity for size/speed. Hockey prospect radio touched on this subject not too long ago, and they were explaining how certain positions or player styles (fast power forwards, stud RHD) are rarely if ever traded and if they are the price is massive and usually when they want to get paid (see Seth Jones).

So while you'd think you could trade an elite C for a need position, that only works if the other team is willing to part with what you want. It's easier to draft the elite RHD, than draft a C that might be marginally better and try and trade him.

Last 2 years are probably tough. But he's the motor that drives that team. Good signing for the Canucks forward group, future captain if... When Horvat doesn't resign.

Norris got paid on 1 35 goal season and 52 goals in 125 total nhl games played. Which is good and he should be able to sustain 30 goal seasons but don't underestimate the power of short sample size haha. Id think/hope a bridge would be the case with pinto

He could* be but if that's the case then we'd have to pay him like that. Cap is shrinking with the good players on the sens now. If I absolutely had to choose between Pinto and a great top 4 RHD, I'm taking the D all day. Probably wouldn't do it for Girard

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>csick</b></div><div>I would probably only move Pinto if we are getting Dobson or Seider or someone better than that. Not saying in a 1 for 1 , more would need to be added . But yeah that’s probably only way I move him</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Xspyrit</b></div><div>I know this will sound crazy but the only interest would be Cale Makar, or Newhook straight up if they really like him</div></div>

I get the love for Pinto but he's unproven and these guys you both are talking about are top players at their position. It would take Pinto, plus a lot more to get any if those Dmen... So yes these are crazy takes haha. As far as Girard, I just don't think his style is needed with Sanderson, Brannstrom, Chabot.

Won't even touch Makar haha, Seider obv not available. Dobson would be unreal, and if the isles are actually haggling over contract I would move a lot for Dobson then try and give him a long term contract. But I don't even think Isles need a C with Raty in the system. Sens would probably have to trade Greig, JBD/thompson plus for Dobson

Thread: Unpopular Idea

Monahan just had double hip surgery. Sadly, the kind of surgery described as a career killer in the hockey world. His age helps him slightly but he'll never be able to move the same, hence why cgy had to pay to trade him. So sure pencil him in as a 2nd line C, but very lightly and have the eraser ready

Thread: Sens me a Right Winger and some Luc

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>sensonfire</b></div><div>I'm assuming three things:

1. Batherson did what he did.

2. Pinto doesn't bounce back from the injury that limited him to just 5 games last season.

3. Calgary is closing in on an extension for Weegar.</div></div>

I think if the 1st one is true it depends on the extent of how he was involved would dictate the level of suspension or worse. But I'd imagine if any of them are in the NHL they'd be out of the league if it's as bad as initial reports. So no trade would even take place

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>sensonfire</b></div><div>Ottawa accepts.</div></div>

Accepts? Damn I hope not. Unless he had something to do with the 2018 sexual misconduct, Batherson won't be going anywhere. So assuming he didn't, I don't like that trade at all. No way should they be adding a 1st with the best player in the trade.

Thread: can they beat out Boston

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ReginaSask</b></div><div>The defence and goaltending aren’t that of a playoff team</div></div>

Talbot was pretty good for a playoff team the last 2 years and I like having a motivated Talbot after getting pushed out of Minny. I don't think goalies are an issue this time around. At this point it's up to players like Zub, Zaitsev and Hamonic stepping up their game and a bonus if Sanderson steps in seamlessly (if no changes are made).

Few thought King's would be a playoff team with a healthy defense let alone a decimated one and made it in. So I don't think it's foregone they won't be in or competing but I also wouldn't bet on it.

Thread: Arizona Coyotes signed Lawson Crouse (5 Years / $4,300,000 AAV)

While I don't love the deal at face value it's not outrageous and he actually could outperform the deal as soon as this year so I'm waiting on judging it right now.
Improving every year is important for big powerforwards, almost all of them late bloom and he is in the games played threshold for a breakout. If he can be someone you pair with Keller flanking Schmaltz, then Cooley in 2 years, he could easily be a consistent 50-60 point physical winger at 4.3m. Every GM wants that

Sens probably aren't trading for Ehlers when their top 6 is already set. Just not a good use of assets. Dillon alone would be much cheaper but it seems Dorion is set on a RH shot except if it's Chychrun

Thread: Kadri only makes sense if you move on from girard and I wouldnt do that

Even trading Girard to make room for Kadri creates problems the following year when resigning MacKinnon, Byram, and Newhook. Byram could easily play himself into the Girard contract so that saws off. It would probably mean parting ways with Toews the following year or more.
I wouldn't sign Kadri and let either compher or Newhook grab it and use rantanen/landeskog as a safety net 2nd c
