Thread: Does Tarasenko Even Fit

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>AndrewLadd</b></div><div>Honestly I’d rather Tarasenko>Palmieri but clearly that isn’t gonna happen. I wouldn’t be upset w trading Bailey+ for VT tho, but then we don’t have any playmaking wingers</div></div>

I'd go for Vlad over Palmieri too, but it sounds like Palmieri's deal is close to being done. I could stomach a Bailey for Tarasenko deal, but again, I just don't think St. Louis would go for it.

Thread: More Dunn spam

I enjoyed this, thank you.

However that little aside about Joki, Boq and Beaudin being gone made me sad

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Stan_Bowman</b></div><div>I would say that’s enough to get Ron Francis to give him up. Now, I tend to not like saying a GM is dumb to justify a trade but… well he’s kinda dumb.</div></div>

His moves so far have been odd, to say the least. Seems to be going for more established talent than youthful upside. Upon second thought, I think if he were to trade Dunn, it would have to be for players, or at least prospects as opposed to picks.

But you never know

Thread: Last Post Before Expansion

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TheBoyDuddus</b></div><div>Sorry was just scrolling back through my notifications and realized I missed this!

Brown's ceiling is probably a 40-50 point, pass first, 2nd line centre. He's 6'6 but not overly physical so maybe like a Blake Wheeler lite. His ceiling is high but he's been consistently injured and if he keeps getting set back then his floor is probably out of the league. Unlike Bellows who can fit into a bottom 6 role, Browns skill set and motor likely dont translate well to the NHL well in a smaller role. He's better than the AHL so if he stays healthy this year and doesnt perform then I could see him going to the KHL or something.

He's definitely boom or bust and Ottawa using a protection slot on him confirmed that whether he pans out or not, they definitely want to see him realize that potential in Ottawa and the risk/reward with him potentially not panning out is still worthwhile at the moment.</div></div>

No problem haha, appreciate the scouting report. Hope he works out for the Sens

Saw your post with the 2 2nds for him. Feel like that *could* work, but I still think they'd want a little more back. That said, he's really good lol. If we can do it, do it

Thread: Chicago Blackhawks signed Jake McCabe (4 Years / $4,000,000 AAV)

One of the best pure DFDs in the league, needed a guy like him since Hjalmarsson left. I like this signing a lot.

Thread: Chicago Blackhawks signed Jujhar Khaira (2 Years / $975,000 AAV)

Not a terrible signing by any means, but at that price you should probably expect him to be in the lineup consistently. Would rather have that spot go to someone younger, but that's just me

Would prefer Jarry to Pettersson, but that's something I'd do for sure lol, but why would the Pens? Or why not make that deal directly with Vegas sans the retention?

It's been my impression for awhile now that his advanced stats were horrendous, so that's why I asked. But if you saw something different I was curious

This is an interesting scenario. The return wouldn't be significant, since we wouldn't have ton of leverage if Fleury isn't going to play for us. Might have to retain a lot and at that point, I'm not sure if its worth it

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Shibbal18</b></div><div>Chicago is a really good team with Fluery, idk why theyre hoping he retires</div></div>

I'm not at all, we kinda have to make the playoffs this year and Fleury is a guy who could help get us there. But if this trade isn't something he wanted and retirement is n the table, its not hard to see him potentially never playing for us

I'd want a better pick than that if we're taking him for four years lol, would rather go a different dirction altogether.

That said, he played some of his best hockey under Trotz? Maybe there is a fit there?

Thread: Goodbye Casey

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Wrigley29</b></div><div>the article said that's what Casey told Seattle when they approached him.
you've got to be hoping that's him telling a brand new team - "if I'm going to move my family and start over with a new team and leave my current one, you're going to have to pay me a kings ransom"... I say he goes for like 3-3.25 if he stays.</div></div>

Perhaps and if that's the case, I'm all for bringing him back. Just another look at what happens if a team actually does offer him that much (after the Jones fiasco, nothing would surprise me anymore...) and he bites

Thread: Goodbye Casey

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Warrior24</b></div><div>If Casey proves himself out of LI why waste Bellows on a 4th line C when you can sign Zajac, Fipulla, Glendenning etc. that’s just bad asset management.</div></div>

Bellows is probably done here, either because Lou/Trotz have no faith in him or because he legitimately isn't that good. I choose to believe in the former because the flashes he's shown are enough to make me think he still has middle-6 potential and needs a *sigh* change of scenery if he's going to tap into it.

Larsson on the other hand has been one of the better pure defensive forwards in the league for the last few seasons; I think he'd be a great replacement for Cizikas and if he plays well, perhaps we can take a run at re-signing him when hes a UFA again. If not, we buy another year for a prospect to grow into that spot.

As for the names you mentioned, Filppula is kinda washed at this point and I like Larsson more than Glendening. Zajac I wouldn't hate but I don't want to go back down the performance bonus road again (notice Parise wasn't signed either) and again, I think Larsson is an upgrade.

To me, it's only bad asset management if its a guy who the organization placed any sort of value in, but based on their actions last season, it doesn't seem like they have

Thread: Does Landeskog Even Work

We'd probably have to move Beau to make it work, which just isn't worth it. On top of that, I don't think Ian Cole is a satisfactory solution at 2LD and we could easily afford one with just a fraction of the money going to Landeskog.

I know what I'd rather do

There's just no play for the Isles here. Dobson has a higher ceiling than Rathbone and we can get a cheaper and probably better defenseman than Schmidt elsewhere

Because he supposedly asked for $5 million from Seattle. Even if he'd take less with us, I don't think we should give him any more than 3

Thread: Contending I Guess

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Beetlejuice</b></div><div>Chicago will probably trade Zadorov's rights</div></div>

I hope we do, but I feel like we would've done it already, no? We've been trying since the deadline in April.

To be fair, with the expansion draft having passed its probably easier, but with his arb status and reportedly sky high asking price, I don't know how much interest there's been or is going to be

Forum: Armchair-GMSun at 9:04 am

Thread: More like it

Yes, yes, yes

Only concern is Leo at 4C. I do like him as a 4th liner, but I'm not quite confident is his ability to play C. Maybe use what cap space is left on a true 4C like Nash, Glendening or even bring back Zajac.

Thread: (CHI/CBJ) - Boqvist, 1st, 1st, 2nd for Jones, 1st, 6th

Thought we would’ve learned after the last draft day trade with the Jackets….

In all seriousness, this has the potential to be one of the worst trades in recent history and that contract Jones got might start weighing us down the moment it kicks in. I was actually feeling really good about this team’s direction and future and we just gave a nice chunk of it away for a second pairing defenseman….
