Thread: Saros and Pesce

I like the thought of it, but I don’t think there’s a snowballs chance in hell NSH lets Saros go. But the Pesce deal I like a lot. I doubt they’d take both Joki and Bryson tho, probably just Joki

Woah woah woah, absolutely not. Don’t get me wrong, I love Mitts and Greenway, but Nylander is a 40 goal scorer. If I’m Kevyn Adams I’d say yes.

Gotcha, okay. I’m not incredibly familiar with the Habs prospects, so I kinda just picked the name I know, so take it with a grain of salt. I would still take the trade if Mesar was in instead of Guhle though.

The roster spot was the issue, so I had to get rid of someone. But that’s what I thought he was worth, somewhere between a 4th and a 5th, so adding Vinnie made it a 5th I guess. Idk, it’s not like I would hate the trade if it’s was a 4th lol

Nylander is 17th in the league in scoring, and Marchand is 50th. Plus the Bruins already have 4 representatives.

Sabres aren’t doing that. Bennett isn’t exactly a 1st round picks worth of an upgrade over mitts, plus Casey is younger.

Thread: Blow it up and Suck Hard for Bedard

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>DefenseFirst</b></div><div>All three of those guys had term. By definition, that makes them not a rental.</div></div>

Okay, fair, but then let’s look at some true rentals that have gotten similar prices at the past 3 trade deadlines:
- Giroux to FLA got a first and a prospect
- Jarnkrok to CGY got a 2nd, 3rd, and 7th
- Chariot to FLA got a 1st, 4th, and a prospect
- Copp to NYR got a 1st, 2nd, 5th, and a player
- Foligno to TOR got a 1st, and 2 4ths
- Savard to TBL got a 1st and a 3rd
- Athanisiou to EDM got 2 2nds
- Toffoli to VAN got a 2nd, 4th, player, and prospect
And none of those players re-signed with that team. There is a precedent for teams doing this.

Thread: Blow it up and Suck Hard for Bedard

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>DefenseFirst</b></div><div>Sure. On most teams. On boston he’s a third line addition based on the following four wingers being clearly ahead of him - Taylor Hall, Jake Debrusk, Brad Marchand, David Pastrnak.

I said he’s a third line addition because he’s an addition to the bruins third line.</div></div>

You make a good point. I personally think that he could challenge Debrusk for that final spot, but even if not, that would give the Bruins a really scary lineup if you have Garland on the third line. Garland-Coyle-Zacha would be a really, really scary third line, one better than a lot of teams second lines. Idk, I think I’d go for it while you still have Bergy and Krejci.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Fjordy</b></div><div>Johnson's value is now a late second because that's what the team will get if he doesn't sign.

His style fits the team, I won’t argue that, but I just think you could pick up someone with his skillset for less. Kinda like we did with Boosh

Idk man, a former first rounder and a 2nd round pick is a little steep of a price imo. I think you could get a better player than Murphy for that. Granted, I also am not a huge Murphy fan.

I’ll be honest, I wasn’t sure what his value would be, since he’s only played like 15 NHL games. I just didn’t want to put something that seemed too outrageous lol

Coleman was a very similar price, as well as Goodrow. Hagel doesn’t seem like a rental at this point. I know those guys had a couple years on their contract, but point is they were never going to be resigned. Teams pay firsts for rentals all the time.

Then he would just be a rental. It’s a steep price, but we’ve seen it work out before with teams like Tampa.

Thread: fix the middle 6

As much as I love JGP and the idea the Sabres would get him, I’m not huge on Toffoli coming here. It also concerns me investing $20 mill in just your second line. Plus you’d need to shake up the Ehlers trade to get it even close to working, and you didn’t get nearly enough back for Ristolainen, all while completely screwing the D-core. We’ve got a #1, 2 top-4’s, and a whole bunch of maybes at the NHL level.
