Thread: Patty Kane to Big D
There are many factors that make this trade ridiculous. Though Kane is a game changing talent, he isn’t young enough nor healthy enough to warrant this ask. The requirement would be an extension, true, but the term is too much. If you look at trade history, I’d put Kane at the Spezza trade level. A cost conscious active player, one projected A player, a B prospect, and a pick (possibly a second rounder). For the Spezza trade Nill stated that Nick Paul was the prize. Ottawa said that they were fleeced, but Paul developed into a damn good player. I think that for the Stars to make an impact on their roster, the add would be something like Kane. The question is if it is worth the cost. Chicago fans probably won’t be happy about the trade regardless. I don’t blame them. His image and what he has been to the franchise is unmeasurable. But this isn’t about what he has been, this is about who he is going to be to the Stars. Since this is the TDL, it does garnish additional Worth if the options are limited on if he will waive. Wither it be NYR, VGK, DAL, or another team, he will have a chance to continue his career on a good team that wants to extend him. The pucks on his stick, it’s his choice on what he will do with it.

Thread: Stars Deadline If No Trades
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Phleb2</b></div><div>Stankoven cannot be called up until he finishes his season in the WHL. His season will end in June after the Memorial Cup.

Suter has a NMC so you cannot send him down without his OK. This will never happen. The best you could do with him is to use him as a 7 D and let him eat nachos.</div></div>

I think Stankoven could be used, but if he exceeds the 10 game mark he burns a year from his entry level contract. I could be completely wrong though. He will probably join Dallas next season.

You are right about Suter. Maybe a trade if he’s willing.

I could see Guri and Faksa being traded.

Chicago said that they could take on cap, so there could be an option out there. Trade Suter to another cup team with Chicago eating half. He could still reject it, but it isn’t impossible.

It’s plausible to move Guri and Faksa for a defenseman.

I would rather Harley play in the AHL to be a leader for a playoff run there. It would add to his mental development.

Thread: Blues Fire Sale
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>justaBoss</b></div><div>Good question. Capwise, our options are limited. Before we make a decision in that regard, we need to make sure we can afford the target, both short and long term.

If we were to slot this winger to the lineup now, it'd had to be someone that fits to a line with Seguin and Marchment. Segs and Mason bring leadership, offensive prowess and some physicality into a line, but they somewhat lack speed. I think the guy we should go after would be someone that has good legs. Konecny works in this regard imo, but PHI will demand a huge cost for him.

We also need to consider the long-term need. Should we target a rental, and then trust Stankoven to fill that hole long term. Or should we pay up a bit more to get a long-term asset? If we think pure rentals, Patrick Kane obviously comes to mind, but Hawks probably don't want to deal him to a division rival. Kuzmenko, if he's available, is an option to consider as well.

Also, is there a potential option in the market that could be had for a reduced price for some reason. Would that save us cost wise and if it does, how much. Guys like Boeser has been in the rumors for a while, and I wonder if guys like Vrana or Mantha are also available at a cheaper price given their reduced roles in their current teams.

Lots of questions need answering. But it's safe to say it'll be nigh on impossible to find one guy who meshes well with all the mentioned criteria</div></div>

With Texas playing well, I don’t think we will want to mess up the chemistry in the A. Mavrik and Stankoven are keeps. I’m thinking our trade chips are Guri, Faksa, and picks. I don’t think we would move Dobby. He helps Texas out, and winning / playoff runs are good mentally for players in the A.

I think Domi could improve the second line for low cost. Konecny is my first choice, but he might be too much. Boeser would cost too much long term, so there would have to be retention. Same thing with Horvat (who we couldn’t afford to extend). AA could add speed at a low cost. Monahan and ROR have been injured (remember Zuc).

I guess imo the most reasonable would be Domi or Boeser with retention (if Faksa and Guri go the other way). OR Horvat with Guri and Faksa going the other way for cost. If we pulled Horvat without losing Logan, Mavrik, or Harley… I would be impressed.
