Thread: POJ or Kappy
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TrueCanuck</b></div><div>No he wasn’t. He was a third line player that couldn’t fit in the top 6 of one of the best offences in the league. It was widely reported and viewed as an overpay at the time</div></div>

I'm not seeing your point here lol. You're saying if GM's were wrong about Kapanen they can also be wrong on Hagel? If that's what you're trying to say that is a fine point, but from a hawks perspective it really doesn't matter what one person thinks he's worth, it is about what we can actually get in terms of trade value which is what I have been mentioning. Its possible for us to both be right. A GM would likley be willing to pay what i'm suggesting in a trade and later down the line we might see he wasn't worth that. My point is true right now and yours is just a guess though at the end of the day. I'm pretty sure Tampa would say it was worth it to trade Foote+1st for Coleman a few years ago

Thread: Who is playing to stay
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Juiceman</b></div><div>First off, there’s nothing sensitive about saying how bad this trade is for the Canucks. Secondly, we’d rather not acquire for DeHaan. Third, we have plenty of depth forwards to fill in for Sutter, don’t need another.

Once again a bunch of people getting all angry about trades without reading the description. The guy knows they aren't good trades. He is just fantasizing about having Podkolzin on a line with Toews and Kubalik. Chill out! Also, LTIR does give you extra cap space. Contrary to popular belief, LTIR salary still counts against the hard cap it just allows teams to exceed the cap based on the salary of the player on LTIR. Therefore, it does "give you extra cap space". Even if that wasn't the way it worked and it just subtracted their cap hit from the balance of the clubs cap, it would still be giving them more space. Also, Why are you people still booing Keith? It was like a billion years ago and he isn't even a Blackhawk anymore. Get over it!

Thread: Who is playing to stay
Looking at this proposal from an Ottawa's perspective, depending on their level of faith in Ian Mitchell, the value could be there. That being said, from a needs perspective, don't think they'd do it. They really need Zub. And actually, RD (and RW) might be the only organizational weakness. Zub, JBD, Thomson, Roger and Guenette. All the hopes are on these 5 guys

You're right but it's evident that some people take this way too emotionally, it's the words used or the guy using caps and swearing lol

Totally agree that the Canucks should say no, this deal would most likely be counter-productive for them

Thread: Transition to Expansion 20
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>DaKeGa</b></div><div>Fair opinion. If it is anymore than that for Reinhart then I would be more content paying half that almost for a Blake Coleman type that is pretty versatile as well.</div></div>
I expect Blake Coleman will be getting a payday similar to the contract that Brandon Tanev got from Pittsburgh. He’s a good energy line player, but so is Ryan Hartman who is signed in Minnesota on a nice multi year deal for less than $2 million.

Hell, look at the bargain contract that Eriksson-Ek just got and that William Karlsson signed A couple years ago. Those are two of the best defensive centers in the game. Sure, Bergeron, Kopitar, Barkov, and Stone hog all the Selke votes. But I would definitely say those two are excellent 2 way centers. Overpaying for role players doesn’t win you a Stanley cup. Only when your role players are outperforming whatever you’re paying them do you have a shot at winning a cup.

Thread: Chi wins draft and trades Laffy to Ott
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>DaKeGa</b></div><div>I agree that it is a far-out offer. That was the purpose to get a reaction of how far someone would go for the 1OA. Realistically however, 10 of the last 20 drafts show most likely that 1 guy can be valued over 5 other 1st rounders. A coin toss really, plus the offer had 3 more bodies returning, Nylander, an 8OA in the first round, Highmore a solid checking line forward, and Entwistle from team Canada and will be in the NHL. Lafreniere is also the undisputed 1OA which happens less than half the time as well. Not saying that Ottawa should or will do this, just showing that it is plausible that the trade could end up being 10 years from now that Ottawa would win that trade. No one would take that chance however.</div></div>

If it cost more than 5th + 18th + 33rd + Logan Brown, plus maybe another 2nd, I don't think it would be worthwhile. Being guaranteed a star 1C like Stutzle or Byfield is too huge to pass up, even for Lafreniere.
