If CF was smart, they'd make one for every sport. they just did for basketball, i assume ACGM will probably be included in that at some point

Would be super hard due to the insane structure of contracts

Thread: Are there any Football armchair GM websites

Football is the hardest bc of how much you can manipulate contracts and cap hits, and guaranteed/non guaranteed money, and the massive roster sizes

Welcome to CapFriendly! Sometimes, it's not too friendly.

That's a reasonable trade with Anaheim.

I think that Dobson is going to cost you more, but you have cap space.

I'm not so sure that you're in such a "win-now" mode that you want to give up all those assets for one year of Patty Kane.

With Florida over the cap I hope Lou makes a call on Duclair.

Thread: rest of season lines hopeful

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>C_leon35</b></div><div>Completely agree, hopefully we tank the last few games to maybe drop one or two draft spots. I want some of the young prospects and other guys to get their chance on nhl ice in order to grow. However I would rather Barzal and Raty be on the ice instead of Czarnik and Johnston, this way the young players have some skill to grow off of and aren’t completely alone. Same can be said for defense with Pelech and Pulock.</div></div>

this was mostly me just complaining about how stubbron Trotz is but realistically we should be seeing Raty, Salo, even Holmstrom all get some games. Just to see how they do. No reason to not do that

Thread: No Reason not to play the kids now

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Lenny7</b></div><div>Yeah, it's weird to me. In fairness, I think you guys are right back in the playoff race next year, but questionable coaching decisions drive me bananas.</div></div>

I actually don’t think they will be unless Sorokin has a season like Shesterkin this year. The isles wasted elite seasons from players in their prime , I don’t see Brock Nelson scoring at a 40 G pace and I just think Lou/Trotz are going to double down and go down with the ship. It’s fairly easy to make the isles contenders but that would require Lou/Trotz to change their philosophy, get rid of some declining vets and get younger.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>dannibalcorpse</b></div><div>didn't know he was already stateside! get him IN THERE then!

also thanks for the heads-up on that ELC - i think i got so used to seeing that 9 game tryout in October that I forgot it could technically happen at any time during the season, as long as it's less than 9.</div></div>

yeah, it's weird this time of year because contracts don't slide if you're over 20, so a lot of the college guys who are debuting now are burning the first year just by signing, while the 9 game tryouts are usually at the very beginning and mostly CHL guys, but since räty's 19 he can play up to 9 games and still have it slide

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>dannibalcorpse</b></div><div>i like the idea of getting the kids some ice, but I'd be surprised if they brought Raty over from Finland and burned a year of his ELC on a handful of games at the end of a lost year. I'd rather bring him over for training camp in September and let him try and win a roster spot right out of the gate.

The only other thing I could see complicating this is that Bridgeport is near enough to playoff contention that you might want to get some of those younger guys that playoff experience? Doesn't help that the AHL season lines up with the end of the NHL season and you'd basically be pulling BPT's best players during that stretch run.</div></div>

I'd like Montréal to pull the trigger on this, this may even be too much but Lehkonen would be a tremendous fit in a Trotz system.

Thread: Players I hope the Isles Trade for

Only players that don’t make sense is Laine and Tarasenko. Laine is a powerplay specialist and he’s stated he wants to play the game the way he wants to play it (doesn’t care about playing defense) . Tarasenko is not a top line player at this point in his careers with his injuries. Wahlstrom is the ideal winger for Barzal

Thread: Players I hope the Isles Trade for

On behalf of Oilers fans.... you can't have Yamamoto.

Guy is small but overall great work ethic and positioning. Last year's stats were more unlucky than anything. I don't see him ever getting into the Kane/Gaudreau/Caufield type category but see him as an excellent top 6 complimentary winger.
