Maybe I value Lundkvist differently than you guys. He has shown significant improvements this season and can (in my eyes) still be a top 4 dmsn. Maybe not the best defender but the skill is there and his game has an offensive punch

What kinda adds would Ottawa be looking for? I don’t think they’d get a Stankoven/Bourque, MAYBE Bischel but I think a bit of sweetening would have to come from Ottawa (or maybe downgrade the 1st to a 2nd) but even then I don’t think Dallas considers Bischel

Thread: Pesce plus cap dump options
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Burnout</b></div><div>It is pretty obvious that none of these teams make those trades. Pesce is more in demand than that, moving salary is much more costly and the Habs trade has them slightly lower the pick quality for no reason.</div></div>

I think you’re undervaluing Bourque here. He can step into the Carolina lineup this season on a near league minimum deal. The guy above said Delly/1st would be better but I think Bourque/3rd has equal if not more value

“None of those team makes those trades” Vancouver would make that trade maybe for a 3rd? Definitely for a 4th. They’re so thin on right handed dman and especially big bodies on the backend it just makes too much sense. I think Faksa would fetch a 3rd from a team who really needs a 3rd line centre. Maybe I’m overvaluing them slightly but I also think you guys are undervaluing them too

Thread: Best course of action imo - read description
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Prime_Jimbo</b></div><div>Canucks should consider something like this if a RHD UFA can't be obtained at a reasonable deal. With Bear's shoulder rehab going 6 months, they need RHD and Juulsen isn't going to cut it if they bring him back for that purpose. I've thrown it out there but I like Garland for Faksa and Hakanpaa though Idk what Dallas fans think.</div></div>

I actually think this makes a ton of sense for Dallas AND Vancouver. Although I think Dallas would rather spend the money on defense, they’d get a solid winger that can ride shotgun with either Seguin/Marchment or Benn/Johnston

Vancouver gets a big RHD which is something they’re lacking (ignore Myers) and also a solid defensive 3rd line centre which is something they’ve been lacking for a long time. I think this deal would benefit both teams

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Taz</b></div><div>Yeah understand. If you look at my profile picture, you'd guess i'm probably the biggest Bourque fan out here, and I'm probably the one who saw him play the most, so of course I know what he's capable of! I would really like to have him in MTL's prospects pool.</div></div>

Haha understandable! Unfortunately I don’t think Montreal has anything for sale that could net Bourque, maybe Anderson and half salary? though his stats are fantastic this year and it would still be risky for Dallas. Change of scenery may fix things but it would likely be too much money retained for MTL for too long, and I’m not sure how much interest Dallas would have in him for that long, but a 2.75 price tag for 5 years could be intriguing 🤔

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>KDev</b></div><div>Don’t see how this is an overpay tbf. Honestly not sure this is that great of an offer. Borque, Harley and the 1st are fine, Hakanpaa is just a body and the 2nd covers the Khudobin cap dump. I don’t think it’s a bad offer but this is not an overpay.</div></div>

Tbh I think it’s perfectly fair for both sides, was just covering my ass lmao and tbh that’s pretty solid value for Chychrun. Is there no blue chip guy? Sure. But the 1st, Bourque, and Harley are all very valuable assets. I think Hakanpaa has value around the league (although I don’t think he should he’s horrible) due to being a huge RHD, and yeah Khudobin is there to make the cap work. If Arizona is dead set on getting an elite prospect over a few pretty valuable pieces I could see them looking elsewhere

Thread: Please move him anywhere
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SlevinKalevra</b></div><div>Both guys have been rough at times but Suter hasn’t been nearly as bad as Hakanpaa. Problem is they’re both ideal on the third pair but they’re trash together. They’re also still developing Nils. So if your best third pair is Suter and Nils (it is). Then that puts Hakanpaa in the top four. Where he gets torched every other shift. So if they’re looking to upgrade the defense then Hakanpaa needs to be the odd man out and it isn’t a difficult decision. I’m just glad they stopped scratching Miller who is better than Suter and Hakanpaa and it isn’t close. If you add somebody and don’t trade Hakanpaa then Nils will be out of the lineup and you’ve completely wasted assets. Just like adding a forward and keeping Glendening</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>EsoYeezus69</b></div><div>Honestly I don’t mind either Suter or Hakanpaa most of the time (sometimes I want to kill both), but their ice time should be reduced, and when there’s 3-5 minutes left in the game, for god’s sake don’t play them.</div></div>

I’ve already stated my Suter opinion a thousand times so I won’t go there lmao but agreed Hakanpaa has been downright brutal. I’ve never understood the scratching of Miller unless it’s just for rest. He’s been stellar so far in my eyes, and that’s maybe because I wasn’t expecting a whole lot from him but he really does look like the Colin Miller of old. Great find by Jim Nill. I wonder if there’s a Hakanpaa/Schenn trade between Vancouver and Dallas. Vancouver likely shows interest because Hakanpaa is younger, a big RHD and good PK guy which is something Vancouver is desperately missing
