Thread: Panic Jenner Trade Playoff Edition
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>squashmaple</b></div><div>Dammit, caseyFlyman. This is why we don't open doors.</div></div>

In my defense...it wasn't my original idea. I think I saw a Colorado trade first on the <a href="/users/Grebby14" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">@Grebby14</a> ACGM <a href="https://www.capfriendly.com/forums/thread/784189?post_id=4564690">"Back to the Cup"</a> a few days ago, which was still short a 1st/1st-equivalent IMO. Added that, and Colorado fans still seemed okay with it. Mine was for the end of the year, specifically if management/ownership wanted to send a strong message that the results with this core aren't close.

And if we can hang nine goals on teams without Jenner...maybe we don't need him?

Ok ok I'll go back to my hole!

Thread: I hate the current Flyers
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Grebby14</b></div><div>I agree the effort has been solid and they are decimated with injuries. Even healthy though this wouldn’t be a playoff team. Best to sell off and get younger assets and more picks. Briere needs to come in and have a TDL/Off-season like Homer did in his first year as GM.</div></div>

I kinda want them to clear out the whole office from Senior advisors to Briere. Love people like Clarke, Holmgren but they have been apart of this way to long. Briere I'd be ok if he stick around as an AGM but I dont think he's ready and nobody knows if he's gonna be a Good GM. He was a big part of Making the Tuomaala Pick and Forester pick, and honestly I think Tuomaala was the worst pick made in Fletchers Tenure. It's still early of course but he is really struggling.

Thread: Young back end
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>OldNYIfan</b></div><div>The Los Angeles trade has risks for the Kings, but if either player pans out, it could be enormously beneficial for us. I would pull the trigger on that offer.</div></div>

Cap situation doesn't work on that offer at all, though, for LA.

That's over $12mil in cap hit going to the Kings with no salary going out. This trade would need to be reconfigured in a big way to make it even feasible for LA. It's hard to even begin looking at what would need to be done. But off the top of my head, a counter would be something that included guys like Walker and/or Iafallo to offset the cost. No other real contract values are capable of being sent out for LA. And since those two are both valuable pieces, that means the draft picks going back to Philly would need to be downgraded.

Which then means that Philly says no, because they're in it for the picks (along with Turcotte)... Tough trade to evaluate.

I think there is a way to get one of Provorov or Konecny (I'd prefer Provorov), I just don't see both being a feasible option.

Thanks for pointing out the financial flaw in the proposed deal. I was so giddy at the thought of acquiring those two players at such a reasonable cost that I reacted without thinking it through.

P.S. My gaffe is particularly embarrassing inasmuch as on March 11 I published a trade involving these exact 4 players!
