Thread: ANDERSON TO WSH DADONOV MONAHAN TO NYR HOFFMAN TO WPG DROUIN TO NJ
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>dannibalcorpse</b></div><div>-Depends how the Caps feel going forward but I think I would take this deal. Anderson and Mantha are very similar players, and while most teams might not love the term on Anderson, the Caps have a ton of contracts falling off over the next 2-3 years and will have plenty of room to play with under the cap. Getting the 1st with him in 2025, when Ovechkin is probably getting ready to move on to the next phase of his career, is exactly what I'd want as a Caps fan. I think Montreal passes on this if the reports of their Anderson demands are true, but personally? I think it makes sense for them - neither Anderson nor Mantha is going to be part of whatever the next contending Habs team will be, so might as well ditch that cap hit sooner than later.

-Rangers pass. Dadonov is dead weight, Monahan doesn't fill a need for them (C is probably their strongest position: Mika - Trocheck - Chytil - Goodrow), and while the younger players &amp; picks are certainly interesting, I don't see them moving on from Laf yet.

-Doesn't make sense for Winnipeg, especially without retention. Hoffman has rebuilt *some* value this year but I just don't see Winnipeg taking him at full freight. I'd hang on to him through the summer (when all of your retention slots you've used here will open back up) and retain him down to $2.25M and send him out to a contender looking for a PP specialist - I honestly think he'll bring back positive value in that type of situation, if he stays healthy and keeps up his level of play.

-Stop me if you've heard this one before: Drouin is hurt and out of the lineup. I can't see any team giving positive value to a guy that is this unreliable. I think the only way you get back any sort of positive return on Drouin would be by paying a 3rd team to retain him down to $1.375M - i.e., the Habs send a 4th &amp; Drouin 50% retained to Team A, Team A sends Drouin with the extra 25% retention to Team B, Team B sends a 3rd to Montreal to get Drouin at a very cheap hit.</div></div>

And with all of that said, probably one of the most reasonable Montreal acgm teams I've seen

Thread: jets
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jets12Kozy</b></div><div>If they want to win the cup they should but sure hoard assets until the next time youre in the contending window</div></div>

Every Jet fan on here wants to trade Scheifele for some reason, and some call him a "locker room cancer". That's from JET FANS. Scheifele isn't the answer to win a CUP and that's 100% the reason Jet fans want him GONE. The Rangers traded for Copp...NOT Scheifele at TDL because that's who they wanted. They have a better 1C already in Zibanejad and Copp will be their 2C, so no need for Scheifele or to give up ANY ASSETS. In addition, Schneider and Lafrenier are both 20 year old studs who are the future of the Ranger franchise, so it's not hoarding assets, its smart and efficient planning.
