Thread: Perfect TDL
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Garak</b></div><div>EDM has expressed interest in Lafferty, we know this. He is fast, cheap, and a reliable bottom six forward that probably still has some more upside to give, in the right situation. The idea here is for EDM to create cap space and bring in better defensive players But, in this case, I don't care about EDM.

The problem with the proposed trade is CHI has absolutely zero interest in Barrie or the task of MAYBE flipping him. We are rebuilding and he is too old to be part of the future, he takes up roster space, and doesn't add anything to our team that we need in the short term either. If EDM needs to move him, but they can't find any takers, that means they will have to pay us to take him, because we don't want him.</div></div>
I agree, You have no need of him and we do. it would be pretty hard to replace him for his salary. I don’t really understand what Lafferty brings that’s significantly better than our bottom 6. If we salary dump, it has to be Foegele, puljujarvi or Yamamoto. We could get way more for Barrie, Chicago could flip for profit. He’s worth a 1st rounder at the deadline easy. Especially if you could retain half his salary He’s playing the best hockey of his career

Thread: Defence improves enough through goaltending and coaching
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JackAce91</b></div><div>Horrible. For starters, Vegas, Capitals, Oilers, Stars, Avalanche all have reason to go after Fleury. All but Stars are rumored to be interested. So there is definitely more demand than your trade is suggesting. So there will absolutely be at least a first thrown in, while the second may very well just be the price to take Koskinen. Another 2nd for that much retainment, if not more.</div></div>
Vegas, avalanche have no picks and no salary room, significant salary players would have to go back, even if Chicago retains, Washington has a first round pick, but again no cap space, not even enough for half his salary. So again, they have to take good players the other way.
There just isn’t that much market for fleury

Thread: Depth with a goalie for a cup
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CD282</b></div><div>This team just needs Kane + MAF to get a Cup? Who knew it was that easy!</div></div>

Our goalies have been horrible and we went through insane defensive injury issues. Then covid.. A great goalie like fleury would have stopped at least 15-20 of the 35-40 weak goals our current guys let in. That alone would have oilers in the top 7-8 teams. Our coach has been top loading the top two lines, it shows in the bottom 6 production.. Another top winger could push RNH to the 3C . We would have enough wingers to roll 3 scoring lines. Kane would push Kassian/McLeod out of top 9. I was also counting on Holloway as well, but he’s a long shot. Whoever gets pushed off the team is someone who would score 15-25 less goals in a year. That’s huge
