Thread: 3 way with Ottawa and Boston
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>athrin</b></div><div>Stone is on a whole other level to Duchene or any players traded so far this year and would not be a pure rental on NYI as they have the space to keep him.</div></div>

I agree that Stone is significantly better, but break down what they actually got in return for Duchene. They basically upgraded a bottom-6 prospect in Bergman for a middle-6 prospect in Abramov, so a slight upgrade there. Then they got Davidsson who is still a big question mark as to what he will actually pan out to be, a middle to late first round pick, and another conditional 1st. You basically got:
-Swapped for a slightly improved prospect
-A middle of the road prospect
-A late first round pick
-A 50/50 shot at another first

I think Stone will bring in:
-2 Solid prospects
-A Late First
-A 3rd pick that becomes a 1st if Stone resigns

I would call that a much better return than what Duchene got.

This would likely be what next seasons roster would have to look like in order to re-sign Stone. Definitely cant have Backes on the books. Notice the bridge contract that Carlo gets to put him in a free-agent class with Krecji and Rask.

The next season as Gofnut99 said there are some tough choices to make. We likely wouldnt see Chara back whether it be retiring or otherwise, unless he was willing to sign for around 1M. I don't think Grizz, Wagner, Halak, and Kuhlman will command much of a raise. That would leave us with about ~4M in cap, assuming the cap doesn't go up, between Beleskey and Seidenberg coming off the books, so we would likely need to trade Moore to resign DeBrusk. Coyle mostly likely goes UFA.

If we can pull that off I see a 3 year Stanley Cup window that starts this season and ends after the 2020-2021 season, possibly longer depending on prospect development.

Thread: Stone TradeResigning Financially
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>tylers00</b></div><div>Buffalo probably says no. As for Ottawa, Dorion probably throws his phone at the wall after hearing that offer</div></div>

I would imagine Dorion is throwing his phone at the wall with every offer, knowing they aren't going to field a competitive team for at least 3 years. How many teams are willing to give up two B+ prospects, a first, and a second that has a decent chance at least a decent of being a first for a player that may not even resign? There are what maybe 5 teams in a position to make a trade like that? Ottawa just have to prey they get a better offer, but I don't think its a guarantee they do? Right now I would say Winnipeg is the front runner because they have the added benefit of not being in the eastern conference.

Thread: Perfect Fit
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MisstheWhalers</b></div><div>Losing Krug would create a big hole on the Bruins back end, that John Moore contract and obviously Backes' deal is hindering Boston from doing anything. Buying low on Toffoli in his down season might be Boston's best option.</div></div>

I don't think loosing Krug would be as big of a hole as people make it him out to be. Yes we would miss his offense from the back end but it we got the a quality Top 6 right wing that would be pretty easily offset. It would also make our defense better in out own end and we are already sitting at 4th in the league with 2.63 Goals Against a Game, and we have plenty of LD in the system ready to step up. I do agree that buying Toffoli low could be a low risk high reward move and possibly the best option. I actually really like the John Moore contract, he plays above his pay at worst is a very tradable asset if we need to move him.

Thread: This One better
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MelonVK</b></div><div>But Ekblad is overpayed. He was signed a year before his contract expired as well. 7.5 in RFA years are what, 10 mil as UFA? McAvoy is great, but he's no 10 mil defender</div></div>

I don't believe Ekblad is really THAT overpaid, maybe the first year of his contract but he pretty much getting what he is worth. The thing is you don't see many young defensemen play this well on there rookie contracts. You mentioned Lindholm, but again he signed his contract two years ago and the cap has gone up as will all newly signed contracts. Also McAvoy an Ekblad both put up slightly better numbers in their rooking contracts. I wouldn't be surprise with any contract he signs between 6.5 and 8 mill, but I would suspect it will be more towards 8.
