Thread: Goalie Acquisition
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BlastnyFromThePastny</b></div><div>That makes sense. It's almost okay too since Carolina is sitting on two 1st rounders and one of them only cost them 6 mil this year. You spread that 6 mil by adding extra 600k to your top 9 and it was pretty much a free 1st. Carolina could do this trade and still be fine. Although, Ryan Suzuki was a steal picking him up late in the 1st round though so it would kind of suck to trade him away. Wouldn't hurt as bad if you just say you're trading away a 28th overall pick. Also, Neds seems to be developing quite alright in the A, any reason you want to get rid of him?</div></div>

Ned is simply a give to get proposition. He's been very good in the AHL after a terrible start. I view Ned highly as a prospect, I just simply view Georgiev as worth a ton in a trade due to him being in the NHL at such a young age.

Thread: Dougie and Svech Extensions
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MG1986</b></div><div>I think these deals will be quite easy. Svechnikov will get an identical contract to what Aho got and Hamilton will get offered something between OEL and Josi, so many like $8.95 million over a long term deal. Hamilton will for sure be the harder signing because when he is up for a new deal, he will be UFA eligible. I think what Torey Krug gets next will have a huge bearing on what Hamilton gets.

I just wanted to edit in and add that there is no way Hamilton will get $12.5 million on a next contract. There is no justification that he deserves more to what recent Norris trophy winners have gotten in terms of contract.</div></div>

My post was an experiment more than an actual realistic scenario. I have been talking about potential contracts in HFBoards where the team discount is in years rather than average annual value. In exchange for fewer years, players would get huge annual salaries.

Thread: Kovy is Our New and Improved Marleau for Next Year
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>tkecanuck341</b></div><div>Marleau netted a 1st round pick because Toronto desperately needed cap space. The Kings are going to have upwards of $10 million in free space next season. They're not going to pay to get rid of Kovalchuk. Either a team will give up an asset for him, or the Kings will eat his salary and let him sit in the press box. They could buy him out themselves if they wanted the roster slot.

There's zero chance that the Kings will trade Vilardi. He's practicing with the Reign this week and will likely start playing again in less than a month. He's not going anywhere.</div></div>

The leverage that any team has in getting Kovy is that he wants to play for a contender and probably wants to leave as soon as possible. If some team comes out and is willing to eat the entire contract, you don't think that Rob Blake says yes? Maybe Vilardi is too high of a cost for the reasons that you stated, but a 2nd or 3rd round pick or equivalent prospect seems like fair value.
