Thread: Brodin

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>leafs101</b></div><div>thats exactly my point. the leafs can realistically, going into the future, add one solid defensemen, and given that their two best young defensemen play the left side, they should look for help on the right side before they look to the left</div></div>

I just don't know who that would be. I think they should prioritize re-signing Barrie, but beyond that, I can't really think of anyone in their price range or that they'd be willing to pony up big money or assets for. I wonder if you could swap Dermott for a righty, trade for Brodin and try going from there. Seems like along shot but it could be interesting

They can and should be if there are better options. One of them will be anyways even if Muzzin goes

Thread: Questions Hawks fans

Ohhhh this is fun

1. No, I expect he'll be healthy and play, at least as long as he doesn't get scratched. He's no more than a #6 defenseman and we have a lot of those. Hopefully our young guys will get a chance over him.

2. I doubt Gus gets re-signed, but I'm not confident he gets traded either. If he does, they won't get much back for him.

3. He's publicly expressed an interest in staying long term, but I don't know if that gets reflected in his next contract. My guess is $5.5 million over 3 years.

4. I sure do hope so, but I don't know if he'd want to stay. I think he'll get somewhere around $7 million over 5/6 years, be it in Chicago or elsewhere.

Thread: Brodin

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>palhal</b></div><div>But Brodin really doesn't have term, he's a UFA in 1.5 years. Leafs are fine at LHD this seasons and next season with Reilly, Dermot, Sandin , Marincin. Leafs need centre Kerfoot a lot more than Brodin.</div></div>

Kerfoot wouldn't be the guy I'd want if I were Minnesota; he's older and has less upside. Kapanen would be the guy I'd target, plus another piece maybe.

Brodin will be a UFA soon, that's true, but having an in-house replacement for Muzzin and a guy who will only be 28 when he's a UFA will hopefully help them when its time to re-sign him. And personally, I'd rather have Brodin than Dermott and definitely Marincin.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>leafs101</b></div><div>long term an LHD is not needed. Go after an RHD instead, muzzin should be back soon after the break</div></div>

Think about it this way, pick up an affordable LHD with term, dump Muzzin (whose next contract probably won't be pretty) and go after Barrie, whose poor year this season has brought his value down and is still under 30.

Muzzin might be a little better than Brodin, but he's a risk this team can't afford to take on at this point. I like this move for Toronto, although I think they may have to give up better pieces

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Dach</b></div><div>I think he’s undervalued here. IMO, he’s worth a B prospect 1 for 1. There are teams that would really like him. He’s very fast, and good defensively.</div></div>

That's kinda what I mean, I guess it depends on your definition of a B-prospect

Forum: Armchair-GMSat at 11:15 am

Thread: Saads value

Chicago fan, so my view is probably tainted, but with the year he’s having, the extra year on his deal, I think he’s worth a mid level prospect (D preferably) and a 2nd or 3rd round pick, depending on who the prospect is. Hawks also have to be willing to retain 25-33% of his contact

It’s too bad Montreal will probably miss again.

Not only do I like the trade, but I could totally get behind a Habs team with Crow in goal.

I agree, I'm using Lou's past deals (Boyle, Plekanec) as models. Probably closer to a 3rd if he does move, but like you said, if there's a "bidding" war then maybe he goes for more.

Thread: Trade with Islanders to clear cap space

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>PleaseBanMeForMyOwnGood</b></div><div>My reasoning is that they get a good goal scorer that can help them contend for "4 million" since they are jettisoning Komarov. The draw for Philly is getting the 4 million in cap space.</div></div>

Yeah, I’d prefer to move Ladd, just so the Isles aren’t taking on too much extra money, but the term isn’t too much of an issue, they will have money coming off the books soon.

Idk I’d probably be fine with moving Komarov too I just don’t know if the money the Isles would be taking is worth JVR’s dwindling production

Forum: Armchair-GMThu at 11:26 am

Thread: Trade with Islanders to clear cap space

I wonder if they could actually do something like this involving Andrew Ladd. If we took JVRs entire deal, the Flyers get over $2 million in savings over the same term, while the Islanders get a better player.

Personally, I don’t think they can afford another $7 million contract with Barzal, Pulock and Toews needing deals but it would be interesting to look ag

Keep losing, wait until June and draft Holtz.

Jk y'all know I still think we can make the playoffs, but I really do like Holtz

Thread: Kubalik

Well I hope Kubalik isn’t Panik....

The thing with Kubalik is that he’s looked good all year. Remember at the start of the season how the Saad-Kampf-Kubalik line was tearing the house down? Everywhere he’s been in the lineup, he’s excelled.

I don’t remember Panik too too well (my first season really watching the Hawks was the year we was traded), but to me, Kubalik seems like more of a complete offensive player and I think he’s could be a top-6 forward going forward. Maybe I’m totally wrong in this assessment, but he’s impressed me all year. Not gonna let that stop just because he’s scoring in bunches.

Thread: We Need A Forward

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>exo2769</b></div><div>So I'm with you that I really haven't done a ton of research into the draft class this year other than hearing for a full year now from just about everyone that's it's pretty deep. I'm a 100% best available in the top roughly 10 picks. (Whatever the "known" talent drop off is) After that tier drop off I tend to have a little more acceptance of best available in a certain position.

With that said, I wouldn't mind Holtz, Lundell, Rossi, Halloway. I don't think Stuetzle will be available. Can't see the other teams letting him slip that far (OTT Twice likely), but who knows. MTL doesn't certainly doesn't need a smaller scoring winger now that they have Caufield. I'd be ok with Schneider if the Hawks progress closer to the Wild Card. He seems like a little bit of a stretch at the current 8 spot, but agree that he would be a nice fit in the long term. Hawks have a lot of smaller Dmen right now. We'll see how Regula and Vlasic continue to develop.</div></div>

Yeah, I've been checking some of the numbers and reports on these guys. Holtz looks pretty appealing, all he does is score and already has a solid frame. Schneider could be a good pick up too, but unless we're getting a total redo on Byram, I'd rather stay away from defensemen just because there are so many already in the system. Same goes for center, but you could find a guy who can move to the wing I suppose and we still don't know if Strome and Dach will hit their ceilings.

All I know for sure is that I don't really want Askarov. I know he looks amazing, but taking a goalie in the top 10 is super risky and they have more pressing needs. As of right now, he's the one guy I'd be upset about taking.

Thread: We Need A Forward

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>OldNYIfan</b></div><div>I think you guys will pick somewhere from 7 through 11.

Given the number of foreign players who could go in the top 10, you should have a very good chance to get a franchise player. Assuming you won't have the choice of LaFreniere, Byfield, Perfetti or Drysdale, here's who I think your staff will start looking at:

Tim Stuetzle (LW)
Alexander Holtz (RW)
Braden Schneider (RD)
Jack Quinn (RW)

Personally, I'm hoping my once-Mighty Ducks draft Schneider if Drysdale isn't available and my once-and-future-Kings have a shot at one of the top four listed above.</div></div>

Yeah, I should've clarified. This is assuming the Hawks don't win the lottery.

So you cheer for the Ducks and the Kings?
