Thread: The only reasonable JJ option
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mhockey91</b></div><div>I think it’s a pretty fair package to move him. ZAR is a bottom 6 player at best, and Hallender is good, but that’s the price you pay to move one of the worst 3rd pairing D contracts in the NHL. If Rutherford can make both Johnson and Gubranson’s combined 7.25 million cap hit disappear... that would allow Pittsburgh to bring in a really solid LHD. I could see Chicago moving on from Dehaan as he’s struggled this season, and he would look great in a pens jersey.

Dumo-Letang
Dehaan-Schultz
Petterson-Marino

Is a damn solid top 6</div></div>

His cap hit is below average. People act like he has Seabrook's contract. A $3.25M contract on the 3rd pair is nothing to be concerned about (if that is what you are using as a reason to move someone, which you are). Plus, after moving Gubranson with no retention and no cap back there is not cap need to move Johnson either. If someone wants him, fine... but there is no need to pay much to get someone to takehim, and certainly no reason to over-pay for someone to take him.

Thread: Lines for Saturday vs EDM
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>AFOX10900</b></div><div>I don't think Hornqvist can anchor a line anymore, i haven't seen him do much of anything aside from PP time and time with Crosby</div></div>

Horny has 4 even strength goals and 3 assists.
That's better than a lot of other teams 2nd line players.
I'm not going to go any further into that one. He always has a nose for the puck. People don't like his contract because of his age and it's length. But if you look at him as being the guy going to Seattle it's fine. I would trade him at the right price, I think he works for a few teams, namely Boston. He fits their style of play. But I wouldn't move him for nothing.


As for moving jugs. I like the idea of using him to retain salary on a JJ trade teal for a team like Ottawa who can afford it and is desperate for NHL level players. I don't even need a return if they retain 1M on JJ so he can be traded easier.
JJ has played much much much better this year. But IF I can find an upgrade, I'm moving him.
The problem is the "find an upgrade" part. Because if we are being honest about it, most teams 3rd pairing defense men aren't any better.
