Thread: Eichel to LA
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>wagsnags</b></div><div>Very nicely done with this trade.... you stayed away from Turcotte &amp; Byfield.... I continue to say one of those would have to be in the deal for GM Adams to say yes to moving Captain Jack.

Adding Iafallo in the deal goes a long way to Adams being willing to overlook not getting one of the top two prospects.

I would like to see you swap Tyler Madden for Jordan Spence.</div></div>

I think every team has their untouchables and Turcotte, Byfield, and Kaliyev are LA's big three. They're both untouchable in my eyes. Anything else is fair game. Especially since Vilardi is also a top young center. There's really no need to have to give up Turcotte or Eichel when a center of Vilardi's level is also available. Buffalo being able to walk away with such a high talent, while LA can still keep their key pieces is a luxury that no other team in the Eichel sweepstakes has which is huge for them. I also see ****emo and Kupari as being interchangeable, but I decided to add ****emo because Kupari seems to be more highly regarded and LA doesn't really have a ton of high end winger prospects. At least, none that I know of. And lastly, I added Spence because Buffalo is going to want a defenseman.

Thread: Eichel to the Rangers
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>wagsnags</b></div><div>You have been doing a plethora of trades today. Good on ya mate!!!!!

Sabres &amp; Rangers what would it take to get a deal done involving the NYR:

1. Jones is a no go for the Sabres as they have ample Left Side Dmen
2. The package you put together is a 1st Round talent in Kravstov &amp; Chytil and those players would be fine for GM Adams
3. the NYR 1st Round pick in 2021 also checks a box for GM Adams
4. The 2021 Third Round Pick of the Sabres and the NYR 2nd Round Pick in 2022 would not be very appealing for GM Adams

I am on the record many times stating that in order for the NYR to be bale to acquire Captain jack then the NYR WILL HAVE to include either Kappo/Lafreniere.

GM Adams would counter your trade proposal with:

1. Chytill
2. Kravtsov
3, Kappo or Lafreniere
4. NYR 1st Round Pick in 2021</div></div>

Giving up Kakko or Laf is an overpayment on NY's end. They don't need to get Eichel in order to complete a top 2 center core. If I'd have to give up one of them, I'd give up on Eichel go trade for another 2C like Danault for someone like them. Trades have to be a win/win for both teams. I think the goal for NY's peak going forward, is for Laf and Kakko to be on the same top line when they peak. Giving that potential top line, even if it's for Eichel is an L in my eyes. The whole point to getting Eichel is to complete the rebuild, not swap assets. Whether Buffalo likes it or not, the buyer has more power in this sweepstakes than give them credit for. Buffalo's asking price is simply unrealistic and too much for most teams. The only team that I see having the luxury to overpay is LA because they're overflowing with future top 6 centers to give in return for Buffalo's loss of Eichel. Besides, the Rangers could also trade Buch instead of Laf or Kakko.

Thread: Team Canada 2022 June 2021
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Alfie11</b></div><div>At this point it’s hard to deny Price will get one of the spots. I’d expect these 3, Price, Kuemper, and Binnington to get camp invites and I think the vets win the top 3 jobs (Price/Fleury/Kuemper) unless there’s a serious regression.

RD looks good but Canada loves having an equal leftie/rightie setup, so I don't think they bring in Weegar or Spurgeon to play their off-hand side. I’d put Chabot and Theodore in as 2 of the LD, with Chychrun/Nurse/Rielly/Girard/Toews gunning for the 3rd LD spot.

Agree with the forwards except I’d swap RoR and Couturier, they do basically the same thing but RoR is a little better imo. Lines might look a little different (if they don’t have at least 2 of McD/Mack/Sid on a line I might cry) but those would be my top 12/14 too.</div></div>

The main difference between Couturier and Ryan O'Reilly is the fact that Ryan O'Reilly has a below average shot, while Couturier has a great shot.
