Thread: Sell everyone over 26 we can
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TheOtherAuston</b></div><div>Yeah sorry, where did you come up with dowd being worth a first? He has never managed more than 25 points in a season..
Infact he has a going rate of 0.29 ppg throughout his career. If any team wanted him as a deadline add all it would take is a 4th Rd pick maybe a C level prospect for his extra year.

Edit** Dowd alone could most definitely not pull either player.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>RipNasty</b></div><div>I wouldn't move either of those guys for him. Niemela especially has a high ceiling. Trading him for a 4C is ridiculous</div></div>

Dowd plays 16 minutes a night. Not really a traditional 4c. Also leads the NHL in d zone starts and is statistically a top 10 defensive forward. If you haven’t been following his values or what he’s expected to get you are more than likely living under a rock lol sorry

Thread: Mantha
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>edeangel84</b></div><div>I’ve been to your arena more than once and it’s really funny that you think the fans actually showed up there in any meaningful way before Ovie. The fact is that by the 90s both teams became relevant but weren’t relevant prior. The fact that we won 5 cups since 91 to your 1 and won 9 playoff series against you to your whopping 2 is all the facts needed for anyone who has a shred of common sense to sit down and stop trying to talk smack to the big dog. We’ve won more cups in 30 years than the Rangers have won in nearly 100. We’ve won 3 more than the Philly scum bags and 4 more than your little dog franchise. It’s cute though that you think the league gifted us something. The lottery is random. The team also was bought by Burke and Mario BEFORE Sid was even drafted but nice try.</div></div>

Penguins were almost sold and moved. They are going to be so bad once Sid leaves that it’s a real possibility that they’ll be sold. Pittsburgh is the most fickle sports town. Pirates were good for 1-2 season stadium full. Now it’s empty. Steelers? Yeah just wait NHL rigged the draft to save them once they won’t do it again

You can name 7 high end defenders

Imo 2023 again was loaded with high end forwards. Comparable but insane to claim this year is better.

Also centers are the most important position in hockey. If Bedard Carlsson or Fantilli were available and Levshunov Dickinson and Buium are also available in the same draft and you need a defender but those guys are there you are picking talent over position no doubt in my mind

Thread: What I would do
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>LuckyMoneyPuck</b></div><div>"retool" and "rebuild" are two different things. WSH is headed for a total rebuild. They aren't their yet but they will be. Nothing they have on the roster in their youth is anything but a support piece.
Their is no younger core there. At some point here really soon they will be rebuilding. PIT will be right there with them soon enough.</div></div>

Capitals are missing top line center but I strongly disagree

Leonard is elite. Cristall is trending towards top 6 / elite
McM 2/3c. Protas middle 6. Miro middle 6. Suzdalev middle 6. Lappy bottom 6.

MF Sandin Iorio Chesley top 4.

Strome is 26. Signed for a while.

Capitals draft Demidov or one of those D men they are retooled and just need a 1c.

Penguins literally have nothing in the pipe. Their best prospect is what Yager ? Cristall is A LOT better. Penguins need to rebuild. Washington can retool quickly.
