Thread: Sellers turned Competitors
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NorthernLeafsFan05</b></div><div>I mean I don't think there's anything here that is too egregious. I could hear an argument about the trade values being off, but I think Reinhart and Pittsburgh actually make a ton of sense. Getting another vet who can produce like Duchene would be savvy. There are a lot of moving parts sure, but Dubas loves to get crazy. Look how much that guy got up to last offseason, and he'd be entering this offseason with yet another 19m to spend. He's a wild dude with wild ideas. I guess we shall see</div></div>

1) Why not just resign Guentzel? He’s better the Reinhart and likely will be cheaper. His price is 8.5-9m. Reinhart on the open market gets 10m. Hes on pace for 97 points and 55 goals. Teams are going to overpay for him.

2) Duchene will cost you way more than that and if he signs that cheap he’ll likely just stay in Dallas

3) Smith gets you maybe 2nd.

4) bottom 6 is trash and you should use try to find a better balance there. Sign players like Novak to a 4x4. Try to flip Smith for a 2nd then use that second to get Roberson or Wahlstrom.

You move Guentzel only if you can get something to help you win now. Try oilers. Do Hollaway Kane 1st and a 3rd. Kane fills in Guentzel spot Holloway is a cheap player that will fill in nicely and you can use the draft capitals to trade for something nice 😊

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
