Thread: Trade with Carolina
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GMBB</b></div><div>No No No No. Why would this make any sense. 1st off Pesce is very meh and is not a point producer on the back end. I would want Hamilton 100000x more than him. For that price I can almost guarantee Buffalo would give up Risto or Montour and I would much rather have either of them on the back end.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ForsbergForVezina</b></div><div>I think Carolina wins this going away. Is Markstrom really the future in Vancouver or have they just soured that much on Demko?</div></div>

I wouldn’t pay that price for Hamilton because he’s a UFA in 2 years. Pesce is controlled for 5 more years at a decent price.

The premise for this deal is that the Canucks have a need at RHD and Pesce can be a first pair defensman with Hughes. The Canucks have an area of strength at goal.

Demko will return more than Markstrom or Diepietro.

Might be an overpayment so maybe don’t include the 2nd. But Carolina would want more than Demko

Thread: RHD upgrades
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>AudioCats</b></div><div>Not a fan of the BUF trade. Sobotka doesn't really work as a cap dump because we don't need to make room over the off-season and his contract is done after next season (when we do need to sign a bunch of people). Risto is our only competent top-4 RHD (and one of our grittiest players) so the price should be higher than a bottom-six forward, a small, middling RHD, and a pick that's too far out to help soon.</div></div>

I agree that giving up Ristolainen weakens the RHD, I am looking to next year and the future, this trade opens up $4,000,000 of cap next year. Add the cap increase (about $4,000,000), Moulson (another $4,000,000), Pominville ($5,000,000) and the current cap space ($3,000,000) that opens up $20,000,000 more than enough to sign Skinner and every other RFA and try to land other quality players. Just a thought.

I don't doubt that he probably could, I think that you would much rather throw Kylington to the wolves than Hughes at this point! I don't mind the trade, from a very biased standpoint it is tough to give up Bennett in and divisional deal. There is nothing flashy coming back in the deal to CGY but a lot of very solid depth which would help them a lot I think. I don't know if I would make the move but the value is there I think.

Thread: 3 way wOttawa and Buffalo
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Shibbal18</b></div><div>Buffalos defence has not been terrible, but whatever, you clearly know nothing about the Sabres and are the typical bandwagoner that wants to s**t on them because they were rebuilding when you started watching hockey. Peace</div></div>

bud, not one person has agreed with you on this 3way trade. &amp; by my count, there's 3 people agreeing with the points I've made on it. if Guhle can't beat out Matt Hunwick right now, you might wanna rethink how good he is right now. &amp; trust me, I'm not a bandwagoner. I don't even like the Sabres. I just know hockey. and I know a heck of a lot more than what you think you know.

But welcome yourself to the ignore list, cause you'll be the only one there now.

Thread: 3 way wOttawa and Buffalo
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Shibbal18</b></div><div>Guhle has been in the NHL already, hes 21, waiver exempt and the Sabres have 7 LHD and 24 players on their main roster with one on LTIR so theirs no way to fit him on the roster at this point. But I'm just a biased Sabres fan, I need to learn my place and understand every Sabres prospect is a bust and everyone else's prospects are first ballet HoFers. No one the Sabres draft will ever work out and the second they hit 19 they are already busts and they'll have no opportunity to play in the NHL. Pominville has been praised for his defensive responsibility as an offense player and is a plus 53 for his career, but what do I know, I've only watched him for 15 years now</div></div>

<strong>But I'm just a biased Sabres fan, I need to learn my place</strong> ... yes. that's about the only thing you said that was right. if Guhle was as good as you say he is and he was a "lock" for an NHL spot on Tampa's defence, he'd have no problem making Buffalo's terrible defence regardless of his age. if he can't beat out Matt Hunwick, he's not as good right now as you say he is. &amp; LOL.. plus/minus is one of the worst stats in hockey. Everyone knows that. doesn't matter if Pominville is a +53 or a +153, it's a very overrated stat that doesn't tell anything about how good a player is defensively.

now goodbye.
