Thread: Looking LT at NYR
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mvp13</b></div><div>I don't think that's the answer... you are seriously overpaying both Laffy and Miller. Great players, but they get bridge deals for now. 3million for Miller (same as Lindgren), 4million for Laffy. Kakko is even too high... depending on when you give him that contract. Ultimately everything should be based upon when Trouba and Kreider's contracts expire. As others have stated, he's pretty immovable. Especially if you don't take on money from his contract, too.

If you pay Laffy, Kakko, and Miller on lower bridge deals, everything should be fine. You are also giving Trivago a raise to sit on the bench...? This is a weird one</div></div>

I might be a bit on the optimistic side and take into account a really good next season for both Lafft and Chytil but if that happens, these deals are not overpayments, they might be really good deals in comparison to league comparables. Miller is an absolute beast and if you can get him on that deal, you have to do it in a heartbeat. Keeps your window open for the next 5-6 years at least. Who care about the Trivigno deal, it kind of misses the larger point I'm trying to make. You can replace his name with anybody else or shave off 300k (won't change your cap outlook by any means)

Thread: Get Lundqvist his cup
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Blueman96</b></div><div>1) Why on earth would Colorado take on a 1 year rental backup goalie at a significantly higher cap hit and give up a young goaltender with some promise, straight up? The Rangers would have to pay Colorado to take Hank, and it wouldn't probably be cheap.
2) Trouba did not play well this year, you have him as an all-star "Victor Hedman" trade value. So, so far off. And the caps are looking to reduce their cap issues, not make them worse.
3) You are SO far off on the Vegas trade it's almost not even worth discussing. Cody Glass is their #1 prospect, they probably wouldn't trade Glass for Georgiev straight up much less WITH a first rounder. Whatever you're smoking can I have some?</div></div>

1) Francouz, a young goaltender?? You do realize he's already 30 (!) and clearly not up to the job during these playoffs. Obviously, if the Avs feel they need an upgrade at #1, this trade is useless but with the talent they have, they need the goaltending to make a run in the coming years. This team should not be losing to the stars and clearly goaltending is the issue. For sure I'd be willing to take on an extra 1.5 million to limit the cap impact on the Avs.
2) This trade was suggested by a caps fan a couple of weeks back. Not sure what you believe is the great value I'm taking away from the Caps in this deal?
3) Stasny, Karlsson, Roy, Krebs, Glass. That's already 5 TOP9 centermen in the system. Pretty sure they'll need to make a decision on one of them at some point. If you value Glass that high, we'll gladly take Krebs. Mast sources say Rangers are asking for a top prospect and a high pick for Georgiev., I agree that's a bit high, hence why I added Howden (who's better suite for a bottom line C role) and a 3rd round pick which you seem to leave aside in your comment.
