Thread: Offseason Moves - Carolina

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Marcsnack</b></div><div>I think they take Foegele before taking Skjei. Also, wouldnt CAR protect Foegele over Fast?</div></div>

IMO Fast has played his way into a protection slot. He's fit like a glove next to Staal.

If Hall re-signs, wouldn't DeBrusk be the odd man out? I just think that Ritchie's a better fit for Boston's style of play if Hall comes back.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jah1722</b></div><div>Milano won’t be protected. He’s missed most of the season with a concussion so doubt SEA takes him and I’d imagine Manson or Shattenkirk are protected over Fleury.

I had Fleury protected over Fowler, actually. Fowler doesn't have a NMC, so protecting him isn't necessary, and I don't think that Seattle takes Fowler without draft compensation.

IMO, Soderstrom's their best prospect, and he's the guy that I have on next year's bottom pair. IMO, Dumba's worth Hayton.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SevenLeg</b></div><div>It's not bad, but "fantastic" is an exaggeration</div></div>

It's a good contract after a career year. Winnipeg has a nice 1-2-3 center group now with Scheifele-PLD-Lowry.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Sagecoll</b></div><div>You could've stopped at Buch... it would've been a no lol</div></div>

Monahan IMO is the more valuable player, though. I think a Buch/Monahan straight-up swap would be highway robbery for the Rangers. I don't think that the Rangers would lose the trade that I proposed, either. Usually the team that gets the best player wins the deal.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Trickster</b></div><div>Woah that top 6 FWs are worse.
Dont think Calgary will move Monahan or Gaudreau in those trades but do feel they need to make big move.

Neither of those do it for me.</div></div>

The idea is that you temporarily downgrade, but accumulate picks and young players on that path and hope that Chytil and Frost take the next step. That's what a good retool is all about.

Thread: Offseason Moves - Calgary

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mhroblak</b></div><div>Then by that logic would Jesper Fast cost more than Andrei Svechnikov?</div></div>

Of course not. My point is that Gaudreau and Monahan are similar-caliber players in a similar age range, except the latter has had a bit of an off-year. He still, however, is going to be worth more in a trade because of the extra year left.

Thread: Offseason Moves - Calgary

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mhroblak</b></div><div>You sold Monahan for more than you did with Gaudreau 😐</div></div>

Of course I did. Gaudreau has only one year left on his deal. Monahan has two. That, in and of itself, commands more trade value.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Skyraider112</b></div><div>Bridge Dahlin and you'll save around 3-4 mil in cap. Don't trade for Moore and simply resign McCabe instead of Goligoski. Use that cap space (7 mil) to sign a top 6 winger and good backup. Play Ruots instead of Eakin. Do you even know how BAD Eakin has been? He shouldn't play another game in a Sabres jersey. Bury him and gain the cap space</div></div>

Unless the goal is what I've been saying all along: get picks for cap dumps, have some vets around while the youth make their mistakes and develop, deal them all at the deadline for small picks, then get your top-6 winger after your youth have finished developing.

Honestly, getting picks and prospects helps Buffalo. They have 5 years to finally get it right for Eichel.

Ian Cole wants to re-sign? If so, that would help them if they lose Dumba. I had Addison and Soucy making up the bottom-pair in my Minnesota thread. If Cole re-signs, you could probably move up Soucy to play next to Brodin full-time.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NYR1983</b></div><div>I’m sure in the summer we will all hear about how Panarin made him though. Just like the Strome ordeal</div></div>

There were some rumors this offseason that Carolina, my home club, was inquiring about Strome this offseason during the RFA negotiations...usually if our FO is looking into a player as a possible trade acquisition, there's a good reason for it. Some folks need to actually watch the games before they go "bUt PaNaRiN" every time.

Of course, Blackwell is signed through next season at below the league minimum rather than an RFA, so a lot of those critics will be relatively silent.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Lightman13</b></div><div>Your values are pretty far off for fiala and kaprizov’s expected contracts.

Also the dumba trade idea just needs to be thrown down a well. It’s just a very dumb trade to make from the man perspective. Every move Guerin has made so far has been quite shrewd and rhat would be 4 steps back.</div></div>

It's not a trade, though. It's an outright selection. It's not ideal, of course, and it happened because the old regime gave Suter that NMC, but my solution was a way to move on from it.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Lightman13</b></div><div>You’re entire argument is predicated on “throw away dumba, a 1st and a 2nd round draft pick because...... reasons” or am I missing something here?</div></div>

What you're missing is that some of the very worst Vegas Expansion Draft moves made were when GMs were over-protective of certain players leaving. It's how you got atrocities like Marchessault and Smith for a 4th, or Haula + Tuch + pick for nothing...to me, if Seattle takes Dumba, so be it. It's one player. Fill in needs during the rest of the offseason. Hence the Manson deal.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NYR1983</b></div><div>Trouba is over paid by 1M, Blackwell has been unreal. I think this trade could work with a pick, mid prospect going to ARZ. Looking at the players in the trade I tend to side with you, but seeing them fit into the lineup I actually think it works. But a 2nd or 3rd should be added. Or Gautier added. Trouba would never waive though so this is all moot</div></div>

Yeah, I watch the Rangers games from time to time, and Blackwell has impressed me this season. He's been a true plug-and-play guy up and down the lineup and has been producing regardless of who has been on his line.

Thread: Offseason Moves - Anaheim

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Lightman13</b></div><div>Allow me to facepalm this. Don’t get me wrong, I see your reasoning but Guerin won’t leave dumba exposed to Seattle. If he doesn’t get a trade he likes for dumba he’s going 8-1 which then means greenway will be the Seattle sacrifice. Plus the wild have mennell and Addison who are both in house dumba replacements. So this trade has pretty much no chance of happening.</div></div>

I just think that teams shouldn't worry too much about losing one player. It's one guy. Let Seattle take him, move on, and get Manson. Addison or Menell will make the team regardless of that move, and if either of them impress beyond expectations, you can let Manson go and use the cap space for a good forward. If they need more time, then you can extend Manson for a few years as a stop-gap.

I disagree. Seattle likely takes Dumba in the expansion draft. Manson, IMO, is his replacement.

Thread: Janmark Extension

A tad bit of an overpay, but I do like Janmark's fit with Vegas so far in this game. There's a lot of defensively-sound players there to make up for his deficiencies and to allow him to let it rip with the offense.
