Thread: Where will Shatty Go?
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>AK_tune</b></div><div>I still think the ask for Shatty is unreasonable. IMO he should fetch two of the three parts, but not a top prospect, regular young D, and 1st RDP.

The way the Blues are playing, they'd be wise to keep Berglund unless the return is significant. De Haan would definitely be worth it, but I doubt the Isles would do it.

Good thoughts though; strengthening LD and getting returns on UFA rentals would be smart. But winning playoff games is just as important as building for the future at this point. It's a very weird situation: an inconsistent team that is finally playing consistent hockey, under a new coach, in a playoff spot but with no expectation to go beyond the first round, and with valuable future-UFAs. And all of this after losing the captain and a clutch playoff performer to FA last year... should be interesting.</div></div>

The DeHaan situation is interesting because the Isles may lose him in expansion. I think we all know, after losing Fabbri for the year, that we don't have the nucleus to win the West. Chicago looks like worldbeaters right now, The WIld have been so good all yr, I just believe it is too soon to compete. I'd be happy to be wrong, but I don't think so. Come expansion time, I would definitely protect DeHaan over Gunnarson and Bouwmeester.

Thread: Solidifying goal
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NateElder12</b></div><div><i>Absolutely awful trade. Coots is worth more than Fleury and Mase/Fleury is close to a wash. Plus that Hanzel deal is absolutely awful too. It's funny how you trade for a 3C to replace a 2C. You can't seriously watch the Flyers and think the Coots and Hanzal deals are even close to realistic/good for the Flyers. Getting fleeced.

I disagree wholeheartedly, and when Mason walks we have that 4.1 mil to spend on a backup and defensive improvements.</i></div></div>
This team is worse than the one we have.. by a lot... defense is trash, goalie is like Dallas 2.0, and offense is weaker - plus Lyubimov rarely plays center</i></div></div>

It's a shame you don't like the defense because, with the exception of hunt, this could very well be it next yr. Coots is decent, but he's overpaid and he's always hurt. I can move Lyubimov to the wing if you like...I'm not unflexible
