Thread: (ARI/TOR) - Timmins for Douglas

Two reclamation projects traded that will likely help their new teams more than they were helping their old teams. Call it an even trade.

Thread: (NYR/MIN) - Reaves for 2025 5th

A 5th round draft pick is close to nothing. The odds of this draft pick playing as many games as Reeves has is close to zero. That said, NYR still win this trade, because Reeves is worth less than zero right now.

Thread: Carolina Hurricanes signed Pyotr Kochetkov (4 Years / $2,000,000 AAV)

The only downside is the short resume. Then again, $2 million isn't a big hit, even for a semi-capable backup.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>dickie_boon</b></div><div>only in the nhl</div></div>

Sadly, the NBA is currently dealing with crap like this and the NFL is no different given its recent history.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Bruins1054_gmb</b></div><div>However, he was a kid when it happened. Hopefully he's matured.</div></div>

There is exactly zero evidence he has matured.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>justaBoss</b></div><div>They even had Canes to retain salary...

Nucks win. I wonder what motivated Canes to do it. Perhaps they wanted contract space or something.</div></div>

I'm totally confused by this as well.

Thread: (CAR/VAN) - Bear, Pederson for 5th

Can someone from Carolina explain why the Canes would make this trade? Are they in that much cap hell that they needed to shave $1.4 million this badly?

Thread: (VAN/BOS) - DiPietro, Myrenberg for Studnicka

Covid-19 messed with DiPietro's development, which is a shame. I hope he does well on Boston.

I think it is a fair deal, as the Canucks are dealing with a ton of injuries right now and need someone who can play in the NHL right now.

Thread: Florida Panthers signed Eric Staal (1 Year / $750,000 AAV)

A veteran voice in the lockerroom, even if he can't play too many minutes on the ice.

Thread: Washington Capitals signed Sonny Milano (1 Year / $750,000 AAV)

Seems like a great deal. I'm a little surprised there's no performance bonuses.

Forum: NHL SigningsOct. 14 at 2:35 p.m.

Thread: Philadelphia Flyers signed Travis Sanheim (8 Years / $6,250,000 AAV)

The votes are mostly negative, but the comments seem mostly positive. That's a weird weird result.

Just looking at his stats, it seems a little high, this early in the year. He'll be 27 when the contract starts and it won't finish till he's 35. I don't know if this makes sense.

Huh? Can someone explain this to me?

It is hard to get more fair than an AHLer for an AHLer.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>toque</b></div><div>I believe this signing is entirely about LTIR and maximizing their LTIR pool for the season</div></div>

Exactly.

Thread: New York Rangers signed Jimmy Vesey (1 Year / $750,000 AAV)

I'm bummed he signed with the Rangers, but only because I wanted him to play for a new team this season, or ideally, two or three new teams.

That said, good deal for the team.

Forum: NHL SigningsOct. 9 at 11:43 p.m.

Thread: Toronto Maple Leafs signed Zach Aston-Reese (1 Year / $840,630 AAV)

At worse, this is injury insurance for league min. Realistically, this is a solid defensive forward being underpaid by $100,000 to $200,000.

Thread: (VAN/CHI) - Dickinson and 2024 2nd for Stillman

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>budgeteam</b></div><div>Draft picks are a STORE OF VALUE. Teams cannot hoard players beyond a certain point due to waivers, and the salary cap. When a team can no longer keep a player, they trade them for a draft pick because draft picks are currency. </div></div>

I get that, but this only happens, because people overvalue draft picks. This includes a lot GMs.

You mention waivers. The average player you can get in the 5th or later round is weaker than the average player you can get on waivers. 3rd or 4th is weaker than the average player you grab in FA for league min. If GMs understood this, then draft picks wouldn't be used as bargaining chips anymore.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>HiddenValley</b></div><div>As you pick the best case scenario for your team….</div></div>

I didn't. I literally used the odds based on over a decade of drafts.

What the hell?

Thread: (VAN/CHI) - Dickinson and 2024 2nd for Stillman

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>HiddenValley</b></div><div>And without your 2014 2nd round pick you would not have Thatcher Demko. So pick your poison.</div></div>

Yes. He's part of the 34% to play 100 or more games. I could counter with "Boston's three 2015 first round draft picks" and try and claim draft picks are worthless.

But when judging a trade, you have to look at the odds and not pick the best or worst case scenario.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>FanOfAllTeams</b></div><div>Would you want stillman over Dermott or Burroughs?</div></div>

We just lost Myers for about a month, so that's an important factor here.

Thread: Calgary Flames signed MacKenzie Weegar (8 Years / $6,250,000 AAV)

I'm not as bullish as others are with this deal, but I think it's a solid win for Calgary.

Thread: (VAN/CHI) - Dickinson and 2024 2nd for Stillman

People overrate draft picks. A second round draft pick only has a 70% chance of playing a single game in the NHL and a 1/3 chance of playing 100 or more games. There's a good chance Stillman will play more games for the Canucks than that pick will play in the NHL in total.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>FanOfAllTeams</b></div><div>1.35 million cap for a 2024 2nd basically even the term is the same on the deals</div></div>

Stillman can play and the Canucks are weaker on D than they are with forwards.

Really? Maybe he's not happy in Dallas.

Thread: Dallas Stars signed Jason Robertson (4 Years / $7,750,000 AAV)

I love this deal, especially when compared to the Barzal deal from yesterday.

I'm sure Dallas would have loved to have locked him down for more than four years, but by the time they have to resign him, the cap will be a lot larger.
