Thread: Getting Grittier

Yeah, all those teams say no...

and you didn;t really make the team grittier by adding laine and haula, who are soft.

Domi and Laine might not be worth anywhere near their value right now, but thats more than weak. And carter and zucker are tough for any team to take on, in salary, age and diminishing production, without the other team giving you some kind of a cap dump.

Thread: Does this get an extended Couterier

After the year Laine has had, I#'d say Laine and 2 1sts or Texier and 3 1sts.

Couterier would have been on pace for a 3rd year of 68+ pts and a Selke, and is still youngish. Its all the things he does besides scoring. Laine and his contract doesn;t come close 1 for 1

Thread: whiner line

Doesn;t do it for PHI.

Rasmus is finishing another pretty meh year (yes he eats minutes and could possibly still learn to play defense elsewhere), but thompson and a late 3rd adds very little to the offer. Ristos value goes down year after year, and on a site where Ghost has negative value, Risto can't carry much more.

Risto and a 2nd to start...but thered have to be something more attached, another 2nd? More?

Thread: Scrappy

TK who at 15-16 mins a game is just a tad below Gaudreau in production. TK is younger, cheaper and signed long term, if anything its a wash of similar players with no additives, based on age, salary, contract length.

But I cant see PHI doing it, based on the above. Similar players, and PHI doesn;t need another HUGE expiring contract at the same time as Couterier and Giroux.

Thread: Whats the best UFA LW for mcdavid next season

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>leafs_RtheBest</b></div><div>great option. maybe a 2nd for 50% retained</div></div>

Its a low second, and no way does PHI retain. A 2nd for JVR straight up, hes got size, huge body on pp, and almost a guaranteed 25 goals/45-55pts in only 16 minutes of icetime in PHI. No injury history and an excellent bet to perform throughout remainder of contract. Or throw in small but unneeded contract

Thread: 33mm over 8 years for Danault

I can;t see him accepting 2.5 less than Gallagher, term helps and elevation to 1st line helps, but his agent will say no.

Thread: Rasmus

As flawed as Risto has been in BUF, I think he has better value than that: a 28 yr dman with 1 yr to go on his deal, (dont get me wrong hes been good in TOR, but in a flat cap with a team needing another rebuild?) with only 2 seasons in NHL,Holl isn;t worth tons to BUF, a very late 2nd rounder, and SDA is a mid level prospect, coming into a team with much better prospects? I think BUF does alot better elsewhere.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Gmonwy</b></div><div>I've seen loads of flyers fans saying they don't want to do this because Konecny is younger and on a longer term deal</div></div>

I think you're about right there, it is a real parallel move. Two very similar players, both speedsters who are pushed off the puck too easily and not known for their defense. Gaudreau is the higher end player/producer, but TK is cheaper, younger and under contract for longer, so IMO they're even. (As a PHI fan, Tkachuk is the player PHI would want, but in the interest of making a change in the top 6, Gaudreau will do)

Thread: After Exp - other side of Flyers trade

Koneckny for Ellis is about even, when you factor in age, Johansen is a bigger dead weight than Ghost, and I'm a big fan of Jarnkrot but Frost and the 3rd are worth more than him, so I think if you said Ellis for TK you might on to something, but the other pieces muddle it up.

Take out Jarnkrot, Sanheim and Frost and upgrade that pick and TK and Ghost and a 1st for Ellis and Johansen are pretty close, but not sure PHI can move 10mil for 14mil.

Thread: trading the best player VEGAS

Voracek is no just a cap dump.

Is he overpaid, yes? But not by that much, and hes consistent and has no injury history. Hes a reliable 60+ pt 2nd line player and will most likely remain one through his contract.

And yes Stone is the best player in the deal if youre looking at pts alone.

PHI says no. Glass and Holden dont equal Voracek and Coots, a 1st and 2mil in retention is way too much for Stone

Forum: Armchair-GMApr 23 at 3:15

Thread: FlyersFlames gotta do something right

Tkachuk would be a great Flyer, but contract length as ilklustarated above is a huge problem. Couterier, giroux, gaudreaux and tkachuk all up for contract at same time?

PHI wouldn;t do it, although I think deal slightly favours them. I think its a one or the other gaudreau or tkachuk, with TK being cost controlled as a 60 pt player, its tough.

CGY fans would want more, but TK, Uber prospect at center Morgan Frost and a 1st is probably close to Tkachuk. IMO Tk is equal to Gaudreau alone, based on contract and production.

If a deal was to9 happen, I think its more down to TK for Gaudreau OR TK, frost and a bit more for Tkachuk, not both.

Thread: Lines for Saturday

simmonds on 2nd line, a third line of offensive players and a slow ancient 4th line, ooof.

Hey I love simmonds and I love thornton, but this is as close to real contenders as the leafs have beeen in a decade, and this is the lineup? In a seven game series, they get outskated and either win 5-2 or lose 2-5.

Campbell is the 2021 version of Michael Leighton. Really amazing and shocking and all of a sudden cant stop a beach ball, especially given that the forwards wont play defense

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>csick</b></div><div>And only 2 years left. And NJ has all the cap space in the world</div></div>

Exactly, you get a lot of posters who point to JVR or Voracek as overpaid or having negative value, but the fact is they're all around 30-31 and still performing and producing. JVR and Voracek have no real injury histories and are great bets to produce at their current levels throughout the remainder of their deals, slightly (and really slightly) overpaid, but both are reliable.

Pretty good, although I think TOR surrenders way more than that. Scott is not a high propsect and malgin is a 26 yr old who isn;t worth much

Thread: Building the Defense

Nice thoughts.

PHI probably takes that. Long been a proponent of the two teams making a deal and the return is fair, JVR is a reliable producer, no injury history, big body on PP and good producing vet for the youngsters

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Devil1122</b></div><div>What if the Devils replace one of the picks with a prospect/player?</div></div>

Possible, they have a fairly deep prospect pool at the moment, but PHI could use a good physical utility forward or a physical dman (In the above I have signed foligno and savard for those roles, but a lesser option might work. PHI has lots of depth and good prospects, they just didnt merge this year.

why would you include a 3rd with Niskanen then? Why would PHI retain 50% of his salary?

why move gus for a 3rd to WPG when he got a 7th from MTL?

It just undermines the whole thing

Thread: Starting to move forward by buying low

In the off season, I would think Ghost is worth more than that. Hes had a good year and is a solid number 3 with just 2 years left. Hes rediscovered his 40+ pt ability and has been suprisingly average on defense. He hit waivers when most teams had no cap space, when Philly had 8 dmen and 3 goalies on their roster, and Fletcher astutuely knew he wouldn;t get claimed.

I'm not saying hes worth tons, but Cholowski is a non factor/non return for Philly. Their LD Defense depth is provorov, sanheim, ghost, hagg, and morin in the NHL, and cam york, mason millman, zamula and linus hogberg in the AHL right now (all of those 4 rookies are playing well). And Cholowski is probably behind all of them.

Thread: Trying the Flyers Again

Nice calls on Hagg and Murphy would be a nice add. In UFA theres a few other options as well for similar monies: Montour, Savard for two.
