Thread: 5 player deal with NJ
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Smitty426</b></div><div>Tell me about the players coming to NJ.
O.K. I know somewhat about, but not the others
Problem will be that Cory Scheneider may not be able to start the season rehabbing a bum hip, will make a KK move tough
thx</div></div>

Kylington centre piece of the trade here. Top 4 D prospect, been playing pro hockey since he was 16, he is now 21. Unfortunately for him, Giordano, Hanifin, Kulak and Valimaki are ahead of him on the depth chart.

Rittich outplayed Lack in CGY last season, he is actually the reason Lack was sent to NJ. He's a good backup. His numbers went down towards the end of the season as he was required to play more after Smith was injured. All in all, a decent rookie season for Rittich I'd say.

Hathaway is a bottom 6 forward at best. He is an agitator and can be effective in a limited role.

Thread: Question for Canes fans
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Mikemathis555</b></div><div>Be prepared to be frustrated with his line combinations and his habit of always tinkering and messing with them. The canes could never get in a rhythm. Sometimes I wish I know he had a strategy (play high paid guys, performance, player chemistry). I couldn’t figure it out.

I’m sure Peters is great, but during hard times, seems like the players quit on him.</div></div>

Thanks for the input.

The Flames are coming from Gulutzan who never changed anything and when he did it didn't make any sense.

The PP was awful , but nothing ever changed. It actually took half a season for them to put Hamilton on PP1...

When a top 6 forward like Tkachuk or Frolik went down he ALWAYS put Brouwer on the 2nd line when he was completely undeserving of it.

I'm optimistic with Peters, he sure seems to be a good talker with the media

Thread: One more shoe to drop
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Zeerak</b></div><div>Well firstly, I think Hanifin will get more in the neighbourhood of 5m per if he signs for that extra UFA year.

I do agree with your top line though, Lindholm should get first crack at riding shotgun with Johnny n Monny just because they've never had a competent right shot RW play with them before and it could create some new looks and creativity from Johnny.

Not sure if Bennett deserves to play top 6 minutes considering the depth we've acquired, would rather see Backlund reach his peak offensive potential by having two dynamic wingers like Tkachuk and Neal to give us that 1-2 offensive punch.

Your point about 3rd lines being crucial is valid, but I think with the first two lines set up that way you can still have a solid third line putting ryan on the RW with janko and bennett/frolik. Would do it that way for two reasons: 1) we don't have quite the level of talent that PIT n WSH have to be able to spread the wealth as much as they can and 2) I feel Janko is going to take a big step forward this year and playing him in a diminished 4th line role would hinder his development considerably.

Also hope Tre can pull off some wizardry and get someone to take Brouwer's cap hit.</div></div>

It's gonna be very interesting to see how the lines look on opening night, so many possible combos.

I gotta give Treliving credit, he has really reshaped the forward group and it is very deep now

Thread: Flames need top 9 scoring and speed. Send me your trade or UFA ideas please!
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>arousedcat</b></div><div>Not much honestly. Nino is a really good player. He was injured in October (bruised a bone in his leg) and he wasn't healthy the whole season and still was on pace for 23 goals. Had he been healthy, I think his value would be higher than Zucker's but due to recency bias people look at his numbers and see he had a poor year and dismiss him. I really think Tkachuk would be the only player the Wild would bite on for either of Nino or Zucker, but again I really don't see the Flame willing to give up Tkachuk.

Edit: I could see the Wild being interested in Mark Jankowski or Rasmus Andersson, but again if we trade Zucker we will want a roster player coming back</div></div>

I think CGY would move Jankowski as Lindholm/Bennett could play 3rd line C. Not sure they wanna move Andersson though

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>arousedcat</b></div><div>Eh no offense but I really don't like what I see in Bennett. I'd have to check out your prospects so give me a moment on that. Also, our owner made it very clear that in his GM search (before hiring Fenton) that we would not be rebuilding (which is exactly what trading a roster player like Zucker for picks and/or prospects would be). So if CGY wants Zucker, they are going to have to give another top 6 forward in return. Monahan and Gaudreau are obviously untouchable, and I imagine Tkachuk is close to untouchable but maybe for Zucker they'd consider moving Tkachuk which is why I mentioned his name. Also, people don't seem to realize that we have more than enough cap space to buy Ennis out, we really don't need to (nor should we) package him with a player like Zucker to get a much lower return.</div></div>

How much of a drop off would the ask be from Zucker to Nino?
