<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BStinson</b></div><div>Bernier played pretty well for Detroit last year. Detroit is probably looking at Demko, Georgiev, Lehner, and Allen to determine cost for a younger goalie.</div></div>

Vancouver won't trade Demko unless they can resign Markstrom. Georgiev is an RFA so they can't just sign him. Why would Lehner go to a bottomfeeder when that's where his health was at its worst? Allen and Bernier are fine options but Allen will cost more than Hutton. And Bernier proved in Toronto he isn't a starting goalie.

Seattle won't take Hank because he's a UFA at the end of next season... if NYR keep both Georgiev and Shesterkin through this season they will lose one for nothing to Seattle. That's where I'm saying it makes more sense to get something for him now as an RFA than nothing in a year. The timing just makes hime the one to be moved and Shesterkin the one they bet on.

Buyouts are tricky business. I see it works but that's not exactly ideal. Dead cap space could really hurt going forward compared to a trade that's decent value and actually does solve some problems.

If so then do you put Shesterkin in the minors and lose either him or Georgiev to Seattle? Because I doubt anyone touches Hank's contract in a trade... I'd take the 2nd round pick and run as NYR.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Wadejos123</b></div><div>Hawks decline. And you're description isn't accurate about the trade. We have plenty of money to retain Strome even with a flat cap. In a worse case scenario we can buy out maata (680k) and Smith (1.083 mil) and have plenty to give deals to kubalik, crawford, strome, koekkoek, and cagulla. Shaw will be on LTIR because of concussions that likley have ended his career, so we save another 4 mil there</div></div>

If Shaw is done then it could be possible... I'd be interested to see you make it all fit though... Link me an ACGM where you've got everyone signed...
If Strome was gonna cost anymore though then I'd go after one of the far better options I listed in the description

Orlov is solid but I honestly believe Jokiharju would be your number 2... might need another year before he overtakes Orlov but there's way more 5-on-5 upside to Jokiharju... Orlov is a beast though

For me it was his 5-on-5 numbers that sold me on him. We've shown to have a good powerplay and anyone can have a good PK as long as the team has enough heart. We need to be much better 5-on-5 though especially without Jack on the ice. That's where Strome comes in for me... Only uncertainty I have are his possession metrics aren't great so that makes me hesitant

Jokiharju would immediately be the #2 damn behind Carlson for the Caps... That's a pretty solid addition to the team. But I agree that Kuznetsov would be huge for Buffalo... it would be one of those trades where everyone has an opinion but only time will tell who wins it. Honestly though the cap hit is enough that Buffalo probably turns it down. Especially with the flat cap for a few years news.

I don't mean without Buffalo adding something else too. As Buffalo I would want some kind of tier 2 D prospect back so that we weren't leaving ourselves without some potential talent.

Thread: Giving eichel a team

Holtby should be getting like a 2 year 3 million dollar contract as a 1B goalie... He had a terrible year on a first place team and is on the wrong side of 30. Needs to earn his way back into the money. 7 million for a guy who just posted a sub .900 SV% is a really bad idea

Thread: BUF DET SJS CBJ TOR VGK fans any interest in Domi

Sabres can't afford to be giving up Reinhart. We have 5 players for a top 6 (Skinner Eichel Cozens Olofsson and Reinhart) we need a legit 2C as Cozens is looking more like a winger. In my opinion at least. I still think Montour and Domi makes an interesting base as they are both RFAs... but I feel like the Dylan Strome rumours might be really strong...

I appreciate that. I was optimistic and on Kahun and Strome didn't buy any UFA years to keep cost down. I think a smaller contract is likely for Olofsson. He had one good season but it was marred by a lengthy injury. He'll get a bridge of sorts.

Thread: 1st Round Pick Trades with NJD and CHI

I love it but it would have to be a 3way deal. I'm not trading 7 for 10 and 17 unless it's a guarantee that the second trade happens for Strome.

Thread: Should the oilers trade up for askorov Thoughts

Only way I see it is if he's on the board around 9 or 10 when Chicago is picking or NJD has their second of three first round picks. At that point the gap between 20 and 10 could be made up by Larsson or Nurse... If you're sure he's your guy then put on your big boy pants go get him... If you're not sure then don't pull the trigger, address the wings and find a goalie elsewhere... Either way you have depth at D with Klefbom, Larsson, Russel, Nurse, Jones, Bear, Benning, Broberg, and Bouchard... whether you use that to trade up for Askarov, a winger, or move pieces for needs or to free up cap space for a free agent you should be moving Defense this summer... Lehner and Markstrom are both Free Agents and could be your answer in net.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>aadoyle</b></div><div>Its not bad but its not that great either.

I feel the leafs wouldnt really have the need for thompson and would probs be looking at Mittelstadt or Kahun. Montour would be alright with the leafs and could be a good partner for Rielly, and Borgen could be an alright bottom pairing guy or could be flipped in another trade for picks or other things the leafs need. So I wont say this trade is impossible but I just dont see toronto moving on from Nylander, but than again its the NHL anything can happen and anyone can get traded. Still if that pick is in the top 10 or 15 leafs could draft a RHD like (Jamie Drysdale, Justin Barron, Braden Schneider, Helge Grans)</div></div>

Regarding the draft pick. I made it the 2021 1st not the 2020 1st because I wouldn't expect a deal to be made until after the draft this year. Too much is up in the air and I expect a quieter "draft floor" much like the NFL had.

I wanted to try and not trade Mittlestadt but if it was for Nylander I would absolutely include him. I'd rather not give up Montour, Mittsy, and a 1st in a trade for just Nylander though. Too much of a chance we get torched by a "divisional mistake" for the next 10 years.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jmac490</b></div><div>I was originally of the trade Nylander camp, after he stalled out his contract until the dying hours.

He has proceeded to be a pretty strong member of the Leafs this season, so personally I'd be seeking a big fish RHD if he was to be moved.

The Sabres don't have a defencemen in the "big fish" category (names like Parayko and Jones come to mind).

I also do not know enough about Borgen/Thompson to even give a proper opinion about the overall value. But the Leafs are trading in division, while also giving up the best piece.

I am not a fan of the deal at all.</div></div>

Very fair assessment here. My rationale is Thompson could very well be a 2RW as early as next year with the right linemate or in the near future. Should be a 3RW next year fairly certainly. Borgen is at what might be his ceiling which is a bottom pairing shutdown RHD but in our organization he evidently plays top pairing in the AHL. He could be a Top4 but I think that's a BIIIG stretch. Either way a nice depth option. I fully support your "big fish" desire! His solid season this year is the only reason I want him at all. I was very against him and his brother this time last year.

Buffalo would pass on this really quick. Jokiharju has way too much potential. Montour, Risto and Miller are the RHD they'll shop, likely in that order.

Absolutely. I personally doubt we ever see Skinner without Eichel ever again and that should lead to much better production. They left him on an island this year and they know it. Skinner is probably overpaid by 2 million dollars a year. Okposo is overpaid by 5-6 million dollars a year. Relative production per dollar says buyout Okposo.
