Thread: Right Team Wrong Player

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ForsbergForVezina</b></div><div>Both of these statements are true. My other dream pickup would be Zucker, but I'd be happy with Toffoli or Pageau as rentals as well.

Bonino's contract is admittedly a bit of an impediment for next year. How much NSH would be willing to retain is another issue though</div></div>

add a 4th and im sure NSH will retain u to 1.5 mill. They can afford to.

I want Bonino, but NSH would have to retain some salary.

Too many fans conflate their fandom with their identity. That’s why when you criticize their team (or certain players) they take it personally.

Thread: Could Trouba be the odd man out

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>vosse9</b></div><div>There were plenty of teams interested last offseason and this year wouldn’t deter them from landing him either. No team is retaining salary for 6 years</div></div>

Teams were interested because trouba is a good top 4 defenseman - but he’s not “the guy”. I’m not saying rangers have to retain salary , but that would be the only way to maximize the return. No team is going to give up significant assets for an overpaid defenseman in the salary cap era

Thread: Could Trouba be the odd man out

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>vosse9</b></div><div>If they did decide to trade Trouba there’s no way they retain anything for 6 years. Taking back Gudbrandson and his terrible deal should help upgrade the deal. The extra d from Florida is going to be a ufa next year so just for salary dump to fit in Kreider and Fast</div></div>

If you don’t want to retain salary, you won’t get much of a return. Maybe a 2nd or 3rd rd pick. Trouba is a solid 2nd pairing Dman being paid like he’s a #1.

I feel like the devils would also make NYI pay a premium for an in division trade. Plus his contract increases his trade value.

Thread: Can the Isles afford upgrades

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>math731</b></div><div>Yeah, that's why you're fans always try to trade Leddy... I wouldn't do Danault for Leddy and a first to be honest</div></div>

Although I think danault for Leddy straight up is unfair, the reason why NYI fans are always trading Leddy is because he is more of a luxury to have at this point / - — pelech, pulock, toews and Dobson will be the top 4 next season.

Thread: Earth shattering Blockbuster only 25 percent serious

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>joshelkin</b></div><div>I'm not sure whether or not Laine is. But can't be much of a trade-off. It's basically sacrificing a guy down the middle for winger who can score. I think the other interesting thing is the cap space this creates. Byfuglien gone after the year. Saves Isles from having to dump picks to shed Ladd or try to make him disappear on LTIR</div></div>

I get what you're saying, but it is so hard to find/develop top 6 centers - It's why you rarely see them get traded. The isles have 0 shot at being anything but a 1st rd exit team without a #1 C, even if we have laine and Connor on nelsons wing.

There was tension at times between ovi and trotz, but in the end ovi turned out to be a two way force. In a few years barzal will be a top 10 defensive center putting up 85-95 pts.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CPH</b></div><div>Calgary says absolutely not we're looking for a scoring winger to help on the top two lines</div></div>

apparently Bennett wants out of Calgary, doesn't look like you'll have any leverage to get a top 6 winger with a player that has 6 pts in 34 games

Forum: Armchair-GMWed at 7:06 pm

Thread: Earth shattering Blockbuster only 25 percent serious

Barzal has been pretty bad defensively for the lsat month, but the first few months of the season he was solid. That being said, I feel like the owners would step in if Lou even attempted to make this happen. You need #1 C to win a cup - nelson + Danault are both 2C.

Also I'm pretty sure laine is worse than barzal defensively.

Thread: If Tony DeAngelo Gets Over 60 points What is He Worth

Rangers should trade trouba and sign dangelo. I don’t think trouba will get you much, but dangelo is a stud, I wouldn’t trade him.

Two teams that come to mind that need RD (who will get a top 10 pick) : Anaheim and Detroit, but I doubt they’d give up their 1st rd pick for dangelo.

Yeah they are - i wouldn’t say beauvillier is untouchable, but he’s young, can score goals, and plays a physical game. No reason to move him. Only untouchables for the isles are barzal, pelech, pulock, dobson, wahlstrom, and Nelson.

Thread: Dobson

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>slapshot723</b></div><div>Have you seen how many times a young player gets scratched in the playoffs for a vet? Cizikas was scratched for Marty Reasoner in 2013. Anders Lee was scratched in 2015. Coaches operate differently in the playoffs than the regular season. If we get a Hainsey or Borowiecki or someone like that, I wouldn't be surprised if they play over Dobson in the playoffs.</div></div>

That’s “if” they acquire a depth D. Borowiecki probably won’t be moved and I’m sure there will be a lot of teams interested in Hainsey. It’s not a guarantee we get a depth D, especially since the more important need is a 3C > middle 6 w > depth D

Thread: Dobson

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>slapshot723</b></div><div>I think Dobson has been great for a 19-20 year-old defenseman, but I still want a veteran defenseman instead of Aho on the team. And when it's the playoffs, don't be surprised if Dobson doesn't play much.</div></div>

LL hasn’t made a trade in over 600 days, but he’s going to trade for a defenseman when the prices are high for them?

If Dobson plays like he is now and improves his game, they are not going to limit him in the playoffs.

Thread: Dobson

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>joshelkin</b></div><div>Yes I follow him, good guy. Like I said I would increase Dobson's minutes but not throw him to the wolves so to speak. His numbers could very well look good because he's playing selected in the matchups that Barry wants</div></div>

I’m not saying to play him 20+ min, but he deserves to play more than he is now. Dobson is still playing against NHL competition, so despite the matchups his numbers are still impressive for a 19/20 year old.

Leddy and mayfield have been pretty bad defensively over the last few weeks, so hopefully trotz gives Dobson more minutes. Pulock is the only D that has been playing great since pelechs injury
