Thread: Who do you think you are I am
I don't think this is overly far off.

1st deal is a good idea, assume Arizona wants a first, but getting those young players would be a good lottery ticket. The question would be how teams value vrana. Young, ultra talented but has been going through a lot of issues and hasn't played. That combines with a 5.25m cap hit might make him negative value.

I really like sundqvist and he will probably get a 2nd or so looking at the recent depth forwards moved in the last week.

I've been on the same train of though as young when it comes to klingberg. He can't be this bad right? He was still top 4 quality last year so what happened? He's probably still pissed that he passed on the 7×7 from Dallas. I'd buy low considering it will cost next to nothing.

I like lankinen as he's been decent on subpar defensive squads in the past. Still young and has upside to be a really good backup. Interesting to see how many swings Detroit will make on young goalies. They've done it the last few years.

Thread: Kane NMC and Off Board Move
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>klassic</b></div><div>If Kane says Toronto or bust and this is the best offer Toronto makes then the Hawks tell Kane tough cookies you are finishing the season in Chicago. Better find a therapist to help you with that depression.</div></div>

I'm not saying this is the best offer they could come up with (although look at the Taylor hall trade to Boston when he said only there.... and he was actually healthy).

Chicago would be trash organization if they held Kane back from pursuing another cup with the team of his choosing. If davidson help out for a exta pick and wasted a year of kaners career you think anyone would sign with the hawks? He's a first ballot and arguably the best hawk of all time. This is not a meier situation where you are getting a player in the prime of career and would be a top liner on most teams in the league. I've been watching Kane intensely this season as he has been one of my favorite players for a long time. He doesn't look right (and has a massive cap#) Hence why I said conditional pick. Get what you can from a team where he wants to go and do right by the player.

Thread: Meier wo extension at TDL - QO outlook worst case
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Caniac555</b></div><div>I don’t think Morrow is considered a ‘okay prospect’. I think the scouting community at large would view him in an upper tier of high upside RHD prospects.

NJ has already said they want an extension first, and what are they going to give up realistically? A similar 1st + Holtz? I highly suspect they come off of their D prospects…they are going to need those guys on their ELCs in the coming years.

Vegas doesn’t have prospects and picks to trade unless they give up Brisson which I’m not clear they will.

Toronto - Knies??? Robertson??? Will they even trade their first? Will it be the end of Nylander after next year if they re-sign Meier.</div></div>

I'm probably under-rating morrow. I have difficulty rating prospects I'm the NCAA. I don't know why the sharks aren't giving permission to talk with team about an extention. You are 100% correct that they have the best prospect pool and assets to take a run at him. All the other teams are going to have to offer up multiple 1sts since they don't have the same prospect pool.

Would anyone be shock to see Vagas giving or 3 1sts at this point? I wouldn't.

Carolina and Toronto are in similar situations in terms of cap space and both being top teams in the league. They both have assets to make a deal happen (2 1st++). Toronto probably has a leg up in the race since they need a winger more than Carolina. I expect to see them in on O'Reilly/Hayes/Henrique. Good 2 way guys who fit RBs system.

I'll be very intrigued to see how this ends and what Carolina does. Honestly even garland I could see as a target. They always seem to make a big move

Thread: Trade Theory
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TheRealKyleDavidson</b></div><div>Bowman likes reclamation projects. Davidson doesn’t unless he gets assets back in return. We saw that with the Nylander trade. If there is a player seen as a cap dump with a sweetener, then sure jump on that trade davidson. However, Robertson isn’t a cap dump and wouldn’t have any asset attached. I don’t see davidson pulling the trigger on Robertson.</div></div>

Lafferty, Raddysh, Dickinson, Domi are all sorta reclamation projects imo. I'm not high on Robertson but he has had success at every level. Simply can't stay healthy (done for the season). Hes a worth while buy for a team looking for young talent with potential. I didn't say he's the only asset going back.
Conditional pick (up to 1st) , cap dump and prospect seems like a deal that benefits both sides and will do right for a player that has given everything for Chicago. I still think he moves to Dallas to play with Seguin. Gurionov probably goes back in that deal as a player that could do better in a different environment.
