Thread: Actually Going All In
PHI turns you down, a low 3rd rounder and a 3rd pairing LD.

I like Dermott, but
1. He shows nothing that he'll ever be more than a 3rd pairing guy
2. hes not really a puck rusher or a crease clearer
3. PHI has Provorov, Sanheim, Ghost, Gustafsson, Hagg, Morin (and big prospects York, Zamula and Millman) ALL AT LD! They lack RD, and thats a position Dermott hasn;t looked good at.

Also the retention comes with a price, (as teams can only make so many retention deals), and that price for retention is probably the 3rd by itself.

If you're going all in, its going to take more than that, even for Laughton. Keep Dermott and make it a respectable offer that might make PHI pick up the phone. A 2nd and 3rd at least

(And the STL trade: an overpaid AHL/NHL tweener and two VERY weak picks?)

Thread: Laine
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CaptJosef</b></div><div>The problem with the Flyers using Sanheim as a centrepiece of a Laine trade (or any trade really) is that he's our 2nd best D. One year down the line Niskanen is gone and you're left with Myers and Provorov. Ghost, much as I really like him, hasn't been good enough for 2 seasons now and hoping he becomes a top D again is a long bet. He's a solid #4 in a core that has a great top 3 D. Myers probably fits in as the #3 in that group in the end. So now you need a #2 D.

Plus if Patrick can't go you've also traded the natural replacement in Frost.

I like Laine but moving Sanheim creates a bigger hole in the roster than adding Laine addresses as we're deep a wing as it is (Konecny, Farabee, Lindblom, Giroux, Voracek, are all top 6 wings, JVR and Laughton are middle 6, then there's Brink, Allison, and maybe Ratcliffe as prospects).</div></div>

My thinking with having Sanheim be the center piece is that with guys like zamula and a lil ways down the line york and maybe wyatt wylie coming up it wouldn't be that big of a hole to fill naturally. Also I think myers has a better chance to be the #2 dman then Sanheim does. Something about his (myers) game with his size skill and speed makes we think he has a higher ceiling then Sanheim.

Also just saw the friedman report that they want a rhd so maybe they could work a trade around Niskanen +++ (frost would have to be included with maybe someone like laughton who can play center along with picks obv). Jets would be getting more nhl experienced players to mix in with their core plus young pieces in Frost and picks... Just more a spitball idea

Thread: eventual 2C and defense help
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CaptJosef</b></div><div>Fair enough. It was more for illustrative purposes, especially for those saying it would need to be 4 pieces made from top first round picks.

Laine is valuable no doubt but some of the suggestions, to me, are very rich. Like the type of value we've not seen in recent memory. I understand that Winnipeg has negotiating power here but they also have holes that need to be addressed.</div></div>

Think about this, when was the last time a 22 year ld player that still has team control, who’s scored 138 goals in 237 games been traded?? I can’t remember that happening for a long time. I know that the Jets know they don’t have to move Laine, and they’ve set the price very high. It makes sense, to get a guy that young that’s under team control and can score that many goals as easily as he can, there’s no doubt you’d have to pay a stupidly high price to get him. You’d have to pry him off the team, give Chevy an offer he can’t resist.

Thread: Smaller Tweaks
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CaptJosef</b></div><div>I get what you're saying but at the same time the value of picks usually flattens out around the 20 mark if I recall correctly so I guess it depends. A late first round to late second round don't change your chances a a great player much.

Laughton was also on pace for a 20 goal 45 point season in addition to the 9 points in 15 playoff games he put up. It was something of a breakout season as a middle 6 player who played wing and centre at various times.</div></div>

I do understand what you are saying but they are still players from the bottom half of your roster and I'm sorry but they aren't worth the 32nd pick of the draft. Take a look at some of the Toronto ACGMs where there are trades with the Wings, They keep trying to jam Kerfoot down Detroit and expecting a 2nd in return and honestly I doubt I'd give up a 3rd for Kerfoot. Laughton was on pace for almost 16 goals and 32 points. While Laughton had only played 49 games before the shut down but Philly had played 69 games,
