Thread: Dubas evaluation
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NR1203</b></div><div>The thing is Dubas hasn't overpaid the wrong guys. If he had extended Kapanen for like 5 million or given Barrie a new contract for 7-8 million, as he was reportedly asking, that would be a problem. But Matthews and Marner, the guys he overpaid, are the faces of the franchise and the top-2 scorers on the team. So personally I don't care that he threw a couple million extra away because he threw it at his stars. Besides Dubas and Pridham seem to really know their way around the cap and the CBA so they'll find a way around the flat cap. I think his mark for contract extensions is fair.

I think the other marks are fair too. Barrie hasn't panned out as planned but Dubas can't be blamed for that, he got back decent value for Kadri at the time. Whatever happens on the ice is down to the player and the coaching staff, not the GM. Muzzin trade was brilliant, and getting out of Zaitsev's contract was a huge win. It sucks that they lost a 1st rounder in the Marleau trade but keeping Marner is much more important than what's going to be a mid-to-late 1st.

Drafting should be an A+ too. Don't forget that in addition to the picks he made the last 2 years (Robertson, Sandin, Abruzzese, Abramov) he was also partly responsible for the 2015 draft (as co-interim GM), where they passed on Hanifin in favour of Marner and got Dermott in the 2nd round. And international FA's obviously, Mikheyev and Lehtonen are enough on their own to get him an A+.</div></div>

Throwing away a couple million isn’t the attitude you need tho Matthews and Marner were really bad overpays compared to others that signed last summer like rantanen.

Thread: Improving for next year
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Green4D4Again</b></div><div>Regarding the position they are in. That's a great deal. Batherson has another year on ELC and won't command nearly as much unless he scores 50+ points this year (he might playing with Matherws or Tavares :P). Jaros has top 4 potential and can be an anchor for Reilly or play the shutdown with Muzzin. Who's in your pipeline for future goalies? Is Anderson sticking around forever? Gustavsson would be a solid padding for the pipe.</div></div>

Nylander doesn’t get traded unless a legitimate stud RHD is coming back. We’ve got good prospects for D (liljegren,sandin) so D prospects is not what we’re after and for G prospects we have Joseph Woll and Ian Scott. I don’t see Nylander getting traded either way but definitely not for players that will help in the future.
