Thread: TDL - Giroux to NYR
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Windjammer</b></div><div>Because the Jets kicked the tires on him last off season before the Jets improved their defense doesn't mean they're still be interested now. Ristolainen would be 4th on the right side for the Jets and is a rental that isn't going to have any bearing on Winnipeg's fortunes this season.

It's a waste of an asset for Winnipeg giving up a 3rd for a player that brings nothing that Winnipeg needs or wants. Ristolainen just gets in the way of younger, better prospects that the Jets should be giving ice time to.</div></div>

You are 4 points out of a playoff spot with a bunch of games in hand. Not really the time to be testing prospects. Also, moving Schmidt to 2LD is probably not a bad idea considering what you currently have there.

Thread: TDL or Prior
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Mr_Gardoki</b></div><div>I think you're overvaluing your dmen and undervaluing some of your forwards.

I think you can get a 2nd for JVR, especially with that retention and I think you can just make the return for Giroux a 1st, but I think you're attempting to be appease a little, so I get it.

I don't think Risto has done much to show he was worth what you guys gave up and honestly I can't see him going for more than a 3rd. Braun is definitely a better dman IMO, so you may be able to get a 2nd, but I still think he's also about a 3rd.

EDIT: Then again, if Chiarot truly does go a first then it's pretty hard for me argue lol</div></div>

Fair assessment but there were said to be around 3-5 teams in on Risto last year so I think a team looking for a big bruiser in the playoffs would pay a 2nd. Fletcher was an absolute idiot for paying a 1st+

Thread: Another Attempt at Full Rebuild - TDL
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>palhal</b></div><div>Can't see the non contending Wings giving a lottery pick this season and more for three full years of Provo. With so many teams cap strapped the Wings will be good UFA value with the Provo money and they can keep their picks.
Mikheyev might be spare part, but Dermot isn't, Teams need seven or eight NHL Dmen to get through the season. So the debate is whether the Leafs or any team would pay two first picks for Girewox
Lucic has been OK with year Flames with his 7 goals and 9 points. Konecky and is 5 goals and 10 points isn't an improvement over Lucic this year, I imagine the first place Flames wouldn't want to upset their chemistry.</div></div>

Comparing TK to Lucic based off of points this year is kind of dumb and I think you would agree with me in that case. TK is entering his prime but is currently on a team where every single player is under performing. As for the Wings, they can't be in a constant lottery position forever. At some point in time they will actually have to start pushing for playoff spots. Provorov gives that a solid boost. Dermot is a 3rd pairing D man but the upgrade you get to the top 6 is much larger, imo, than the loss of Dermott. If you can't handle bringing in a good forward and losing a fringe guy like Dermot, then the Leafs TDL is gonna be non-existent.
