Thread: Cup window open

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SlevinKalevra</b></div><div>I’m not sure what’s worse… the trade or the lines and d pairs</div></div>

LOL, both are equally bad. And unless Suter has a mistress in Chicago, he will never waive his NMC for any teams. Why would he? He is salvaging the remaining of his career by playing top D pair minutes with our Franchise D every game.

He is in an organization more interested in helping him in his last years, than giving one of the best player this team ever had the partner he needs to reach his ceiling.

Thread: Stars Experiment

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Dr_Invictus</b></div><div>Johnston is definitely better than Bourgault. However, Draisaitl is worth more than Heiskanen. I had thought about Bouchard, but that leaves the issue of cap space, which means Dallas has to send something back as well. Lindell's NMC was also a reason for not structuring the deal around him. It would have been easier if he didn't have it.</div></div>

I disagree and I would never pull the trigger on that trade, but it’s not the end of the world.

Thread: Stars Experiment

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Dr_Invictus</b></div><div>You'll get no argument from me that Miro is a stellar defenseman. However, it doesn't make the trade unfair. Draisaitl is, after all, the 2nd best player in the world right now, and not past his prime. IF cap wasn't a consideration (or NMC) I would say that a more complex deal to be had.

This was the simplest option though, and the Calgary deal was merely a way to bolster the d core after the trade.</div></div>

The trade is unfair when you include Johnston for Bourgeault.

Miro is probably a Top 5 D in the world. That is, if you are not looking only at goals and points. Miro also, does not have the luxury of playing on his strong side and with a partner of the quality of Toews.

In other words and IMO, this trade proposal favors Edmonton.

Not directed at you specifically, but I find that Miro's value is so underated around these parts.

No need for Kane with the performance of Duchene.

Too much for Tanev.

Where is Harley.

Thread: Mushy Middle Retool

That's probably too much for Tanev.

As written in an article in Sportnet, the price should be between the Luke Schenn trade and the Manson trade.

More towards the Manson trade if there is retention.

We should target Tanev instead. He is a RD and he fits better within the actual and future D Corps.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Blazingbat11</b></div><div>I would dangle Matheson to the Stars if they made Stankoven and/or Bourque available. More pieces would have to be added (on both sides) but I be down for that.</div></div>

Bourque, Stankoven and Bichsel are going nowhere and I doubt we would take a player with term on his contract.

My hope is that we go fetch Tanev. He would cost less and is a RD.

Thread: Stars Deadline

LOL. You can stop this back and forth for the value of Monahan in this trade scenario. The Stars will need a Top 4 D at the deadline, not another forward.

We are loaded at the forward position and have Bourque and Stankoven playing very good in the AHL.

At the D position, it's another story.

Thread: Deadline

You cannot buy out Faksa during the season. This will have to wait for the next buy out window in the next off season.

If we would get Dumba it would be to remove Hakanpaa from the lineup, not Harley. Harley is our 2nd best D right now!

Thread: If They Go Get Kane

I know that Freidman said that Kane and Dallas could work, but we don't need Kane. Especially with Stankoven and Bourque rising very fast in the AHL.

We need a RD like Tanev.

Also, your scenario does not work at all:

- Suter cannot be bought out and you cannot trade him since he has a full NMC
- Nobody takes Marchment witht that contract unless he starts to produce or unless you give nice assets in the trade
- Nobody will sign Kane for a 3 years deal at his age and after surgery. Hell, a fully healthy and younger Duchene only got a one year deal at 3M$ as a UFA.

Thread: The summer they should of had

That’s a better roster for sure, especially on defense.

But I would keep Smith instead of Bonino.

Also, I don’t think Carolina would accept that package. You would need to give them a better prospect and I doubt they would take Hakanpaa back. They let him go to free agency specifically because of the same reasons a lot of Stars’ fans wants to trade him. He is slow, no foot speed, cannot exit the zone with possession, poor stick handling skills. He is only serviceable during the PK.

Thread: Playoffs game1

You really want Suter? Go ahead. We will even throw a bag of pucks with him.

But first you will need to convince him to waive his NMC.

Thread: Would this make sense

For sure it’s a big no from Dallas because of the unbalanced value and also because it doesn’t address a need for us.

We will need sooner than later a true Top 4 defenseman if we are really serious about getting a Cup. David Savard is not a Top 4 D for a true contending team.

Thread: PKane

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>earl08</b></div><div>There's a lot of politics in the NHL, so you always have to read between the lines. I'd think Nill has enough clout & tenure to admit a mistake on Suter. But its hard to see how DAL can replace Suter before the playoffs. He'd have to turn to a college FA, which is always a gamble.</div></div>

The only way Nill would have admitted the mistake was through a buy out of Suter last summer. The fact that he didn’t demonstrate that he believes the stuff he said.

Now, only after 3 games, the continuous decline of Suter is in full force. As stated in other post, the only way to get rid of him this season would be through healthy scratch. Good luck with that considering the Ego of the man.

And the only way to fit another D to play Top 4 minutes will come with a trade of either Faksa or Marchment because we don’t have the space.

Nill is a very good GM. But that doesn’t mean he cannot make mistakes.

Thread: Contenders

I will give you 3 stars for the trade scenario, only because it forces Suter to go in healthy scratch territory.

I think you could land Fabbro for a 2nd round pick, but you would need to add a better prospect than Stranges. That prospect should not be named Stankoven, Bourque or Bichsel.

As for Faksa, I don't see Nashville interested in him. In other words, you would need to do a trade with someone else to make room under the Cap.
