Can see each move individually except Reinhart. If they do this, Boeser walks? Boeser is cheaper, and they can't have no cap space and bet that Lekkerimaki is instantly a top 6. If that fails, they have no options and no room to wiggle. Too much money committed long term here, as well as banking on players playing well, deep onto their 30s. Is that you, Benning?

Thread: A better way to go

Hoglander makes the 4th line a threat, is high up in goals/60 meaning he makes the absolute most of his minutes, has good possession numbers, passes the eye test, and will be a mid to top 6 forward very soon. He will also be cheap to resign. Losing him for an average rental would be a mistake. The Canucks are great right now, but I don't think they are at a place where they can sacrifice the future for the now, yet.

Thread: Full Sell Off

These trades have all the hallmarks of homer's bias. You aren't going to strike gold at your own garage sale.

Thread: Defense

Clearly the cowtown homers don't like the deal... But I don't think the Canucks should take him on. Flames fans can wax poetic about his fancy stats, but Weegar isn't exactly a household name, and is not worth a king's ransom, nor do I think that contract will age well at all. Flames committed huge long term money to guys past/passing their prime. Let them deal with those problems. Rent Tanev, maybe, for a playoff run instead.

Very true, but this trade only approaches what Buffalo got for Eichel, and they were handcuffed by a bizarre medical scenario and trade demand. McDavid is worth much, much more.

Even if the value was correct, EDM is not moving Drai for futures. They need immediate help, otherwise its a total rebuild.

You want the best player in the world for that? LOL

Also, EDM is not done trying to make it work with McD. If they are, its a total rebuild a la Chicago.

Thread: Drai

I don't think the value is far off, but Knight doesn't exactly scream "win now", and goal is definitely the priority for EDM, though they could definitely use Ekblad, and Lundell is an intriguing, afordable piece

Thread: Sharks really

I think PHI and DET consider, but the WSH trade is lopsided, and I am not sure it really improves EDM anyways. More cap, more term, and an older player are not the direction Oil should head

Thread: Dorian Forget to Leave His Keys

I don't think Oil trade Leon. They'd be better off dumping Campbell for picks and a goalie. They need to go all in or face a total rebuild. It really is now or never.

Thread: Allen

I get that EDM needs a shakeup in net, but Allen fits the same profile as all the band-aids they have continually slapped between the pipes. If they trade for a stop gap guy to salvage this season he will need to have way better numbers and an expiring contract. Anything longer than that, and EDM will have to go all in to bring in a legit #1 and dump Campbell.

That's the only trade that isn't in EDM favour. The rest get declined easily.

Thread: goalie switch up

The only one that gets considered is Peeke.

At this point SJ won't get worse for futures. At least they need a respectable goalie so they have a little dignity. You could pay them to dump Campbell, but not for their goalie.

Anaheim has no reason to do that.

Thread: deadline

To me this says you value Beau at next to zero. 2 mil retention on any valued player costs a 3rd. I think Van would want some sweetener.

SJ accept before they even realize there's a second 2nd.

Thread: Tweaks

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>goodaytoday</b></div><div>SJ isn't going to use their last retention slot on Granlund. They will keep it open for contracts with one year left on them, and use it at the TDL. I'm not sure why SJ would want this trade, it does nothing for them but waste a high draft pick. We already have enough players to trade at the TDL, we don't need more. Beauvillier and Myers have negative value, I'm not sure what you mean by trade them for assets. That's a lot of cap hit to trade at the TDL. I would suggest trading them to ANA and CHI, teams with cap space, instead to forcing a trade with SJ, putting them right up against the cap limit. Maybe trade Myers + a 2nd to ANA for future considerations, and Beauvillier + a 3rd to ANA for future considerations. Otherwise if the price is too high, just wait and let them walk.</div></div>

SJ is widely rumoured to want Myers as a short term RD to eat up some of Karlsson's minutes. With retention he will have some value at TDL for a contender.

Beau has negative value? Not sure at all where that idea comes from. With retention, at 3.15, he is definitely a value contract with upside as a middle 6 option. He is far from a cap dump, like Hoffman, Granlund, Lebanc, etc, etc.

Didn't realize it was a conditional 1st. If you can read the description says late 2nd. So perhaps a different pick.

Thread: Trade 1

Your evaluations are great. I wonder though if Karlsson waives for the Pens. There is a very strong possibility it ends up being the same story as joining SJ. A team with empty cupboards on the cusp of a rebuild.
