Thread: habs do it at draft
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Poehling</b></div><div>But Lafreniere hasn’t been good
95% of 1st OA do better than Lafreniere
So IMO Wright &gt; Lafreniere (especially that Wright is a center)</div></div>

Laf actually has been pretty good. His 5v5 scoring has been excellent. Hit hit 25 career 5v5 goals faster than Hall, Hughes, Kane, MacKinnon, NugentHopkins, Stamkos, or Tavares got to 20 5v5 goals. He gets zero PP1 time (avg 71 seconds per game) bc PP1 has Panarin and Kreider. Stick him on Montreal and that number would like be closer to 3 like you have with Zegras, Hughes, and Stuzle-- all of whom have almost 9+ times the PP points Laf had this year (2).


As for your trade, I actually think it could happen, I just think you need to swap Lundkvist for Schneider. Maybe add in another prospect like Cuylle to make up the difference. Rangers wouldn't move Schneider bc his play style works better considering their other RD (Lundkvist and Fox play the same game). Rangers are stacked at LW but lack organizational depth at center and dont have a lot of cap space to sign a 2c while Montreal does (like Copp or Strome)

Thread: Canucks Deadline Without Trading Miller
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>LetsGoPens69</b></div><div>Ya, rumors say they are getting offers for Boeser. I keep thinking from who??

I just saw NYR’s are around 6.5M under the cap right now, with not really anyone they have to resign that would get over what they are getting now. And have a bunch of young players on rookie deals.

I guess, it has to be rebuilding teams with cap space. I can’t see a contender giving up assets to acquire Boeser and not be able to fit him and his 7.5M QO under the cap next season.

Unless teams are sending back salary too. But GM JR is looking to shed cap; not take it on. I’m super interested in what teams have made offers.</div></div>

Rangers dont have a 2C under contract. So that 6.5 million is needed to sign a 2C, a backup goalie, Kakko, and Blais. With K'andre Miller, Lafreniere and a couple other players due new contracts the year after that. I cant see them using any of that 6.5 million to sign a top 6 winger when they already have Panarin, Kreider, Lafreniere, Kakko, and Chytil on their team on cheap deals.

Thread: canucks deadline
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mbaer84</b></div><div>Hes a 3rd liner on VAN, scoring at a 17g pace and is a great on the PK. Cool if you dont want him but hes not some knuckle dragger 4th liner either.</div></div>

I dont watch Canucks games, but 1) how great is he considering Vancouver is the by far the worst PK team in the league 2) if he is as great as you say he is, would he be a worthwhile addition to CAR who have the best PK in the league?

As for the trade with the rangers. The package is a little too rich for a pending FA the rangers most likely won't be able to pay (Fox is due a 9 million $ raise next year and they dont have a 2C signed yet). If they do get a RW2 instead of using kakko, they'd probably prefer garland (which that package is closer to reality for) bc of that feistiness that the Rangers GM loves.
