Thread: Fast Rebuild
Isles say no. Scheifele probably mirrors Barzal's production in the Islanders' system, so the Isles get an older player with rumored locker room issues and they have to give up a 2nd? No thanks.

The best-case scenario on Dillon's return is getting back what you put in with two 2nds. No one is giving up a 1st for that guy.

You might be able to tempt Montreal with that deal but it's more likely they give you Calgary's 1st than the 2nd overall pick. The last time someone gave up the 2nd overall pick, it was Mike Milbury making the trade - and Kent Hughes has not given me any sort of Milbury vibes yet.

I'd honestly say Pionk doesn't make a ton of sense for Ottawa. They already have 3 guys signed to play RD next year, and while it's not exactly a murderer's row (Zub/Hamonic/MDZ) their top 2 prospects on defense are both RD. Pionk isn't the worst guy to trade, but I think Ottawa would rather just hang on to 8th overall and see how Lassi Thomson and Jacob Bernard-Docker develop.

I think it's more likely that Logan Stanley brings back a 3rd or gets traded for a "change of scenery" type player.

Edmonton deal is interesting but kind of spits in the eye of your "fast rebuild" though. Going into next season with a Skinner/Comrie tandem is basically going in with 2 guys who haven't proven themselves to be starters, and I think the potential for the bottom falling out of this team would be huge, especially with no strong goalie prospects in the system.

Thread: TDL and Draft
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Rooney</b></div><div>Dillon has been great for us, no sense in moving him. Also, Wheeler isn't going anywhere. Not sure why so many people are quick to get rid of him this year. He hasn't been anywhere near as bad as what people are saying. 20pts in 28 games, he can still produce.</div></div>

Dillon hasn't been bad at all. I think the point is that the Left D is really crowded with him, JMo, Stanley, Samberg and Heinola all looking for NHL minutes. Dillon isn't the problem but from a cap perspective he would make sense to move to open up a spot for Samberg/Heinola. Really we could trade Dillon and one of Stanley/Samberg/Heinola because we still have Chisholm that is looking really promising.

We gave up 2 - 2nds for him but the kids are ready so we should re-coup those picks.

Thread: Top 5 Prospects
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BeastModeUnknown</b></div><div>Players who were drafted behind Vesalainen... Jokiharju, Oettinger, Frost, Tolvanen (also kind of a bust but who knows), Klim Kostin, Connor Timmins, Isaac Ratcliffe, Aleksi Heponiemi, Alex Formenton, Jack Studnicka, Ukko-Pekka Luukonen, Cale Fleury, Cayden Primeau. If they thought he was the best available then again a bust based on them saying "Has upside to be one of the best Wingers in the League" not exactly that happening now. The older he gets the lower his value becomes, and with how he has played lately of being the offensive powerhouse as so named it's not looking to good for him, and considering a lot of the guys named are doing well respectively in their own leagues. As some have even done better than Vesalainen did on Moose, and that's actually a lot of them.</div></div>

He played 22 games and
Add 13 point at 19 year old that not bad! And 17 point in 30 game in the khl is very good! All those player you mentionned play in junior. He play with man all year long. That doesnt make sense saying that he is a bust. All scouts around the league will told you that take
About 3-5 years to develop players. You can tell who is a bust and who is not because there 5 players that played a full season in nhl. Micheal mccarone is a bust tyler biggs. Wait until he add play 3 season professional before. After that spend, the portraits is clear

Thread: Top 5 Prospects
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BeastModeUnknown</b></div><div>13 Points in 22 Games with Moose then moving to the KHL is a great player who shows great signs when he shouldn't be going to KHL??? 17 Points in 31 KHL Games. That's definitely what they made him out to be this better than Kyle Connor, and Nikolaj Ehlers player that has a consistent offensive production that could be Middle 6 at best, and that's just being Generous and not mentioning that he was even worse performance in playoffs with 1 point in 6 games.........</div></div>

Easy big fella! First off, KHL is a VERY defensive league. 17 points in 31 games for a 19 yr old is actually pretty good. Yes, the kid should’ve stayed with the Moose, he knows it. Came back to Winnipeg at end of year with a good attitude and absolutely sees that he has a HUGE opportunity in front of him this year. Did you always make the best decisions when you were 19? I didn’t! He is a Solid, control the puck down low player, laser beam shot, uses his size well, magnificent skater, very intelligent. No one said he would be better than Connor or Ehlers! Don’t be so hard on the kid. Certainly not a bust!

Thread: Couple moves
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>arafay</b></div><div>You did too much.
The miller trade is not needed as vesalainen will be up with the big club next year.
Little is still good, he just doesn't have the right wingers for his style of play, don't buy him out.
The last two trades are just a bad idea. Comrie can play the same role as stalock next year. Roslovic has2C potential. We will keep him.
You sold connor too short he will command more. I do not think that FLA will move Trochek. Go for their first and Hoffman instead. He can play on the 1st line or 2nd line (depending on where connor plays) and little can play on a line where it is proven to be good with connor and ehlers. We can then also get a 1st which we can trade down or get an impact player. Roslovic can play 3C with copp and laine on his wings. Give lowry the young power forwards in Appleton and vesalainen and watch the magic.
I suggest lines:
Hoffman - Scheifele - Wheeler
Connor - Little - Ehlers (proven)
Copp - Roslovic - Laine (Copp - Laine is proven and Copp - Roslovic is proven)
Vesa - Lowry - Appleton

Because you did too much, you have lost key present and future core players like ehlers, Niku, comrie, etc. Do less, keep your talent</div></div>

This guy gets it, totally totally gets it but unfortunately Maurice doesn't.
