Thread: HUGE trade with Rangers
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Root</b></div><div>But then again you think Elliott,Simmonds,Morin and good for Nugent-Hopkins,Talbot :awesome</div></div>

I mean Elliott still is a way better goalie than Talbot and much better contract than what Edm had. Simmonds is gonna have a good rebound season, and could have played a wing role with McDavid like Maroon did but I think Simmonds is more talented than Maroon. They basically are trying to replace Maroon’s production with Neal. All three of those wingers play a similar style of hockey, I think the most talented is Simmer, than Neal, than Marion. Morin is a project but could be a solid D man this upcoming season. A lot of it was also considering the cap situation.

The reason I don’t think this deal works is cause Krieder walks and you gave up your two best assets, that could help you move a bad contract, and rebuild/ reboot your franchise. When Kreider walks McDavid will want a trade because he’s already said if the management doesn’t do something he will. Personally if I’m Kreisler I want to try and stay with NYR now. He has a decent role on a team with a lot of really good pieces that just might be able to contend these next few seasons.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>bunzy1034</b></div><div>buddy i don't know if you know this but... even if Hayes wasn't a pending UFA, Trouba would still have WAY more value. The only reason Hayes was traded for a fifth is because Philly only has a couple more weeks to get a deal done with them. A fifth isn't his actual value. So for a top shutdown defenceman who is coming off a 50 point season, this is definitely fair.</div></div>

I don’t know if you know this but Trouba doesn’t want to stay in Winnipeg and has said he prefers to play in the US. I’m just saying that Winnipeg can’t keep playing chicken with a player that doesn’t want to play for them. If they keep going he will leave as a UFA and get nothing. Most GMs are aware of his situation, so his trade price is probably going more down than up at this point.

Thread: Trades w DAL TOR CBJ LV
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BurgerBoss</b></div><div>Polak is there not score points, he's there to keep people out of Stars' goal. He's a 240lbs bulldozer. I'd gladly keep him around rather than waste a year on MacDonald.

Besides DAL doesn't really need to save actual money. They're in good position financially speaking.

I'd recommend moving MacDonald to a team that needs help to get closer to the cap floor.

DAL just has 0 use for him. There isn't a slot for him.</div></div>

I understand what your saying, I’m not saying they have to go out and get him, or that it’s likely, but it is a possibility. Also, depending on what happens to Lovejoy and Polak as free agents Dallas might need a couple of Dmen.
