Thread: What 2C are Available at the Deadline
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>villenash</b></div><div>Probably a good d prospect + Bennett + 1st or something like that - maybe even a deal centered around a swap of Monahan/Johansen? Not quite sure, I don't know CGY prospect situation too well.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SmugTkachuk</b></div><div>I wanted to include him but I figured the Flames may not have the horses in the system to get a package done for him without dramatically effecting their line up now. Would absolutely love that addition. What do you think the ask would be?</div></div>

Valimaki/Kylington, Bennet/Pelletier, and a 1st +. Probably not enough but it'd get the ball rolling on discussion. Depending on the direction Nashville wants to go.

Thread: Buyer Beware
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Ryminister_27</b></div><div>I think you've mis-read the Florida deal. It's really a bottom 6 NHLer and a pick for Anderson. Pysyk is a cap neutralizer to make the cap work for Florida because they're so tight. They've been using him at forward when he's a natural d-man so his value isn't too high to add on as a pending UFA. &amp; with their goaltending struggles they need an upgrade badly.

As for Calgary, yes it's a high price. But Pelletier isn't in their cup winning window and they're in desperate need of a <strong>top right handed shooting forward</strong>. They'll have to outbid all the other teams that are interested, and especially if Edmonton is in on Pageau too they'll need to bump up the price to get him and try to win with the core they have now, rather than worry about a prospect who's at minimum 3 years away</div></div>

There are other and better players than a third line, defensive centre having a career year as a UFA playing top minutes on a offensively challenged hockey team. He has value. Just a lot less than we think. This is coming from a Sens. I'll be super happy if we got this return. But, I think a 2nd with conditions based on performance and a B prospect that's got a decent ceiling that's ready to play this year or next.

Thread: Ideally if we dont get Laf
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Lenny7</b></div><div>Leave Byfield alone! I plan to keep my fingers crossed, PJ's on inside out, pray nightly to whatever god Pedro Cirano prayed to in Major League, and do whatever else it takes for Anaheim to get him.

But yeah, if I'm the Sens and get Byfield, then the best option if Drysdale is gone early (He should be), is to pick up one of Stutzle, Holtz or Raymond. IMO it's much more beneficial to let any of those 3 develop for another year or two in Europe than it is to have them overpower the entire CHL.</div></div>

I can't think of worse nightmares than having Byfield tutored by Getzlaf and then have both him and Zegras down the middle. Talk about centre depth... Getzalf ain't a bad 3rd line centre...

Thread: Pageau
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Lenny7</b></div><div>Duclair is such an anomaly...does really well for a year in Arizona, sh1ts the bed for the next few years for the Yotes, Blackhawks and Jackets, then tears it up for the Sens...will be interesting to see what kind of contract he gets this summer. I wonder what the issue is? Luck? Attitude? Effort? I can see guys like Torts and Quennville being tough guys to play for, so maybe that was it?</div></div>

Tocchet in Arizona which is strange... seeing as how he (Tocchet) likes Kessel (albeit Kessel is a lot better than Duclair). Maybe Duclair wasn't given much leeway for those teams or maybe those teams had an actual structure. He is playing a more defensive role in Ottawa on the PK and when they are trying to keep the lead late in the period (when it does happen). He is a polarizing player though. He's going through a 13 game goalless drought but its not like he's not creating chances.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Ajp_18</b></div><div>Losing all of them for nothing is getting burned... we had 3 picks in last years draft, ie getting burned.</div></div>

As <a href="/users/goodjobbjs" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">@goodjobbjs</a> stated above:

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>goodjobbjs</b></div><div>People were overly critical. The Jackets have draft well in the late rounds and players drafted 3-5 years ago are pushing for spots now. Almost too many. We've seen Sherwood, Stenlund, Macinnis, Lilja, Bemstrom, Robinson, Peeke, Carlsson all play games this year and none have played a full NHL season. All credit to Torts and Jarmo.</div></div>

I think Jarmo knew what he was getting into when he made those trades. Sure you lost all 4 guys in the end, but I give him credit to making an effort to push. Bob and Panarin were never going to stay. Were Davidsson, Abramov and Thompson really the prospects you'd like to keep in the Duchene trade? Are the two 2nd rounders you gave up for Dzingel going to be NHL players? Was getting rid of Duclair a bad thing?
