Thread: How trades are made
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>cMac73</b></div><div>I know what you’re trying to do here but McAvoy is definitely not overpaid. He’s a top 5 d man in the nhl. Meanwhile the market value for most team’s top defenseman is 9.5 million and over, while McAvoy is better than almost all of them.

Panarin is a great playmaker but he’s the second highest paid player in the nhl, above guys like Matthews, Draisaitl, Mackinnon, Barkov, Huberdeau, Crosby, Makar, and more. He got paid 529k per goal this past regular season meaning his salary is more than half of his goal total from 2021-2022 regular season.</div></div>

And Panarin is a top 5 LW in the league... Rangers will not cap dump their allstar... One bad playoffs doesn't break a career full of accolades

Thread: Ranking All Prospects
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jimbo1119</b></div><div>That C pipeline is just...pitiful. That Henriksson is listed as their best C prospect speaks volumes. Don't think he's shown too much since being drafted- this coming year is a big year for him. Based on the minimal readily available info out their, Korczak might show some promise- and might actually be their best C prospect. At some point a move needs to be made involving roster players and/or prospects to strengthen the NYR org down the middle...gotta be strong here- and buying UFAs to achieve this is not the best way to build a long window contender.</div></div>

I really like Henriksson, and have for years, but in the SHL he was played on the 3-4 lines and given grunt time, and seeing this is the first year he has qualified to play in the AHL for sure it is a huge season for him

Thread: My Chicago Rebuild
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>perrystreett</b></div><div>Steal for the caps</div></div>

Most of my deals are low balls in my opinion... When a team is rebuilding, most likely they will not get the pearly gates for every single player... Doesn't matter if it is a steal or not... Kane, Toews, etc. are not exactly spring chickens they will be sold to teams looking to go for the cup one more time (Caps will, before heading into a rebuild themselves), thus the Hawks cannot expect equal value in the trades they will be given fair prices even low ball offers since the work is up to them to rebuild not have it handed to them on a silver platter. Look at the Rangers, they got killed for their trade of Miller, McDonagh, etc. If the hawks want a fast rebuild, they will tank for 2 years to get top 10 picks and use their current prospects and later picks they receive to build up prospects to be a force in 5 years...

So to me, the best bet for them is for them to stop kidding themselves and pull a combination of NYR and NJD for their rebuild mentality, and not hold on for dear life while screaming in the doorway as their relevancy is dragged out of the league... Guess how they made it here in the first place? Chicago is a huge market with a name to their franchise, granted if they hadn't covered up a sexual assault scandal then perhaps more stars would be keen to go there...

So my rebuild for the Blackhawks would consist of 5 steps:

1) Sell house, for the best realistic offer they can get.
2) Stockup on draft picks and prospects
3) Hire top prospect developers into their system
4) Look for the next Panarin (undrafted superstar from a top European league, or perhaps not even a superstar but someone that has proven himself in a league in Europe, and bring him over)
5) Just suck up to the pain, you do not want to be the next Buffalo or soon to be Flyers...
