Thread: COL Trade
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>coga16</b></div><div>If Avs are packaging Graves and Kaut, its a bigger fish than Domi.
Domi and Graves are comparable based on their current seasons. Both teams could do a package that is win win for them, no one is going to get the greedy throw in piece that tips the scale for their team though</div></div>

To be fair if Montreal finds a way through a trade or FA to fill Domi's hole in the middle 6 C I'd gladly give it to you for something like; Kaut-Sampo- 2020 1st (27OA) for Domi- 2020 2nd (61OA).
You keep your biggest trade chip, Montreal can easily sign Scandella back and a left defense composed of Chiarot-Scandella-Romanov is decent enough. Montreal gets a top 6 RW, middle 6 LW (With size) and a nice draft pick (Wallinder, Poirier or Neighbours could be targets). Montreal also saves an expansion draft problem by trading away Domi and protecting Armia and finally we enter the final year of the retool.
What do you say?

All true, for Quinn I could see a team with secondary scoring getting him. A team that already has a set first line RW for years to come but would like to get a one-two punch on the second line with a good two-way game player. Could see him "fall" down to the 15-18 range where I could see Calgary, Winnipeg or Ottawa's 3rd pick being, but OP's got a point that he's an overager and his previous year was "meh" at best so he might end up being an Armia kind of player? Does everything well but nothing great yet will 100% be in your middle 6.
For Askarov he won't make it past NJ 2nd pick. They've got good prospect depth all over the board and when Askarov will be NHL ready Blackwood's going to be around 26-27 so good timing for an upcoming star to work in a 1A-1B system and ease that starter role. They'll go BPA with their 1st pick (Raymond, Holtz, Perfetti range) and double strike with best goaltender.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Kotkaniemi15</b></div><div>So right now you have <strong>Weber </strong>and <strong>Petry</strong>, who are locked in on the right side for the next while. Then you can put <strong>Fleury</strong>, <strong>Brook</strong>, <strong>Juulsen</strong>, or whoever on the other RD spot. On the left side, we need one great defender, since we have a bunch of good, but not great defenseman in <strong>Mete</strong>, <strong>Chiarot</strong>, <strong>Kulak</strong>, <strong>etc</strong>. IMO, one or both of <strong>Romanov</strong>/<strong>Norlinder </strong>can become that great defenseman. I don’t think we should try to fill that role before either of them get a chance to prove themselves. Worst case scenario, neither of them do, and we trade for one then. But I’d like to give them a chance first.</div></div>

Yeah that first statement doesn't reflect well in the second quote. Let's not kid ourselves, having a "set in stone" defense isn't about throwing 11 names in a hat and saying they're set sorry.
What's set in stone as of now in Montreal;
XXXX - Weber
XXXX - Petry
XXXX - XXXX

What would it be if I fit two more according to their skillset;
XXXX - Weber
Chiarot - Petry
Romanov - XXXX

Chiarot is good on a first pairing but would be an excellent 2nd pairing guy with a more offensive partner. So even now we've got two holes left that could be filled by 7 other players from your quote. Maybe we'll be set in stone 1 year or 2 from now when (IF) our prospect flourish (Romanov, Norlinder, Harris, Fleury, Juulsen) but to start the season nothing's set.

Lehkonen - Domi - Armia
</div></div>

Lehkonen is such a good defensive forward that he takes all the offense away from anyone he's paired with (Domi and KK being good examples) so I don't want him to be anywhere around my skilled guys, his defensive abilities keeps him in the lineup for special assignments only.
I also want to see Suzuki on the second line but I won't give 6M$ AAV to someone so he can play on the third line (That's why I've mentionned it in my comments).
Allison has all the skills needed to be a good middle six winger from the get go and anyways won't sign with a team to play fourth line minutes as he'll be free to chose where he plays.
Kovalchuk is good on both wings but is better on his strong side LW.

That barely made sense but yeah.. No need to take useless jabs at me, thank you.

Thread: Based on needs and best available
Stützle nobody will argue with you.
If Neighbours falls in our lap <em>I want him </em>but I think he'll be picked around Nolan Foote range. Same production in the WHL, power forwards and going in the dirty areas (Jake's smaller but is thick so no size concern).
You'd go with Andrae even with Bordeleau (PPG and the best forward in the USDP this year) and Tuch (Some says he's better than his brother) being still on the board?
As for Aebischer, the kid isn't even drafted in most rankings, I'm sure he'll get his name called in this year's draft but paying a late 2nd for him is out of the book of possibilities. Maybe a team will take a shot on him I'd say 4th round but a 2nd is too steep of a price for a 20yo (When season starts) who's on it's way to the NLA. You think he'll go that high up the board before draft day?

If I'm going for a long shot defenseman with our late 2nd rounder I'm all in for Topi Niemelä. He hasn't had a huge impact on the scoresheet but him playing in the Liiga at 17 is already very promising for this two way defenseman.
