Thread: (WPG/LAK) - Dubois for Iafallo, Kupari, Vilardi, 2024 2nd (MTL)
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CSStrowbridge</b></div><div>Cam Talbot is having his best season since his rookie year. If he slips to his career average, or is injured, then LA is in trouble.

But back to PLD, his point-per-game average is close to the lowest in his career and his on-ice goal differential is 7.5 below expected. According to The Athletic, his market value is $4.0 million, less than half of what he's being paid.</div></div>

It has been less than ten days since I wrote this and PLD's on-ice goal differential has fallen to 9.8 below expected.

He's on an 82-game pace for 14 goal, 20 assists, and an on-ice goal differential 27.7 below expected.

And he's getting paid $8.5 million this season and the next seven.

I'd rather have Kupari at $1 million than PLD at $8.5 million.

Thread: (COL/SEA) - Tatar for 2024 5th (SEA)
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>sensonfire</b></div><div>1. It took Tatar 10 weeks from the start of free agency to sign for only 1.5 million on a 1 year deal.
He's not exactly a hot commodity.
</div></div>

That's because very few teams had the cap room to sign him. Colorado got him at a bargain price.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>sensonfire</b></div><div>
3. Tatar's "bread and butter" is what he produces offensively.
He scored just 1 goal in 27 games with Colorado, was on pace for only 27 points and was playing only 11 minutes a night.
</div></div>

27 points and an even on-ice goal differential above expected is worth more than $1.5 million. They gave away a player that was outperforming their contract for a draft pick that will likely never play for them.

Thread: (VAN/CHI) - Beauvillier for 2024 5th (CGY/CHI)
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>zackhendo</b></div><div>Which trade has Alvin lost?</div></div>

He's been involved in 18 trades so far (Holy crap!) and I don't think he's truly lost any of them.

There have been a couple of trades that were weak. Riley Stillman didn't work and we gave up too much, even with the increased cap space. That said, Riley Stillman was later traded for Josh Bloom, so that might still work out. He gave up a 3rd for Travis Dermott, who was almost immediately injured, but that's just bad luck, not a bad trade.

Getting Stillman was a mistake and I would argue 10 of the 18 trades were fair, either because neither team benefited enough to matter or both teams benefited equally. The Canucks won the other 7, sometimes by large margins like the Horvat and Hronek trades.
