Thread: Patrick Roy nouveau DG 2022-2023

Assuming Weber isn't returning, I wouldn't trade Hoffman. This is purely assuming he returns to form. If he does, you'll need that goal-scorer. Habs have started off the seaosn really weak. What is it now, 3 goals in 3 games? You need a goal-scorer more than a fringe 2nd-line center, or 3rd line where he'll be used.

I'm glad I decided to read the description after I looked at those trades... yikes

Thread: Anyone else tired of Kadri

There are a lot of teams that could use Kadri, but the Knights aren't one. Kadri is a good 2nd line center, but the Knights have like 2 centers for that position and a potential one in Nolan Patrick. Adding another isn't really gonna help them.

Cossa was already a reach. Why would he got further up? If anything, Wallstedt should be in that position.

I'm hoping this is a joke. None of these are even remotely close. Try thinking about who is actually available next time, and what that time might realistically want/need.

Thread: Trade to get better

Neither team would even think about those trades. Blackwood is likely the future of the Devils, so they're not giving him up for a back-up, a 3-4th liner, and some middling picks. They get pretty much nothing out of it.

Thread: This is how you win a cup

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>crankshaft</b></div><div>Burns is still a 40-50 point dman. Sharks reject.</div></div>

He's 36 years old. He's already showing massive signs of decline. His offense and speed have declined quite a bit. He was decent last year, but nowhere near worth the contract he is on. 4 more years at an 8mil cap hit with a NTC. That is the type of contract the sharks would need to pay others to take, not be paid for.

Thread: This is how you win a cup

Why would you trade young players with some really good potential and a first round pick in a great draft for an old, declined Brent Burns? Especially when you make moves like a rebuilder. Don't rush the rebuild.

Regardless of whether Pulock himself is worth this contract (which he is just making a point to those who say no), this contract isn't just about Pulock. This guarantees the Pulock/Pelech combo for 8 years. THAT is worth every penny of this contract plus a couple mil to each of them.

Thread: Ottawa Senators signed Brady Tkachuk (7 Years / $8,205,714 AAV)

Not sure this is great for anybody. I feel like Brady is a bit overrated and isn't worth this much. Yes, he's playing on Ottawa, but he hasn't had the offensive or defensive production to be deserving of this. So it'll be great for Brady if he never can live up to it. But if he can, this is a really long contract for a guy with the ability to earn more. Idk. It's also just long.

Thread: Eichel and lines

Realistically, the Sabres should absolutely not want rookies at an NHL Level, and frankly, it's the biggest failure of the franchise going into this season (Eichel situation aside) that like 25% of their line-up is made of rookies. Regardless of whether they are ready or not, sticking them up in the NHL is a guaranteed way for them to get shelled every night and develop bad habits. Leave them in the AHL for another year or two. This franchise never learns. This is just another way to rush a rebuild and completely mess everything up doing it.

Thread: Thoughts

If this were to ever happen, it would just guarantee Toronto looking dumb in the expansion draft. I was already not a fan of getting McCann for next to nothing and then letting him go for nothing, just to protect Kerfoot. Because McCann is a big step up from Kerfoot and is cheaper. The only reason I see Kerfoot over McCann is on the penalty kill, but I'm not sure it's that big of a plus, seeing as they were 24th in the league last year on the PK and then got Kampf anyway.

Thread: Gus Back

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ChiHawk</b></div><div>He can fetch a lot more then a 3rd and 4th</div></div>

I think he benefits quite a bit from playing alongside Kane and Debrincat. His defense is hovering between replacement level and below, while his offense is pretty inconsistent, but going downhill. So maybe he can get more than that, but I think whoever he could go to may wind up regretting it. This is coming from a Hawks fan. He's just not as good as he looks and isn't a 2nd line center.

Thread: Gus Back

I'd think Strome could get the equivalent of a third and a fourth somewhere, depending on the team and their need for center depth.

Thread: deadline sellers

Wow, these are all insanely bad. the TDL is usually full of some overpayments, but very rarely that bad. Assuming the TOR one was a joke, I'm hoping the rest were too. If not, you are seriously overvaluing the quality of a lot of these players, and then trading them to team that don't need them, and then taking players they do need.

Thread: New York Rangers signed Mika Zibanejad (8 Years / $8,500,000 AAV)

Meh. Good for three years, but is gonna fall off after that. To me, this contract either just put a limit on their window or is gonna force a pause in the middle of it. Zib relies 100% on offense. He isn't very good on defense, is average in puck entries/exits, loses a lot of puck battles, etc. He is a one-trick pony with his fantastic shooting, but offense usually falls off in early-mid thirties. So this could be a problem in a few years.

This also just declared Zib as the first line center for the next at least 5 years. I'm not even sure I like him as #1 now and definitely won't then. Could do better, and have had the opportunity to.

Thread: Rebuild

If you're gonna go into full on rebuild, I wouldn't bother trying to trade Johansen. If you're gonna retain half for the next for the next like 6 years, and trade away a good prospect and a third to do it, you're just hurting it. You don't necessarily need that much cap space immediately, and certainly not bad enough to force a trade through that is unlikely to happen anyway. Just wait until someone offers you a trade, like the OEL trade.

Doubt Pittsburgh management wants Kessel back. From what I've heard, Kessel was partially traded because him and Malkin could not get along to the point that Malkin basically said to trade one of them.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CD282</b></div><div>Koskinen instantly becomes Buffalo's best goalie, just sayin.</div></div>

Doesn't make him a good goalie worth 4.5 million though. Besides, I don't think they're looking to be good at all, so they probably aren't looking for a better goalie.

Forum: Armchair-GMOct 8 at 2:10

Thread: Jack Eichel traded to Edmonton in La La land

No chance Buffalo accepts that. You didn't really offer any A-tier prospects that they've been wanting. You also want them to take Koskinen, who is on a contract that you'd have to pay them to take. So consider the second/third picks to be just to take koskinen. So you basically offered a first, Yamamoto, a prospect who would likely never make the show, and a fourth-liner. That's nowhere near Eichel.

Thread: Florida Panthers signed Aleksander Barkov (8 Years / $10,000,000 AAV)

Good deal. Maybe slightly high in the last year or so, but fantastic until then. Anyway, in 8 years, it won't really matter. They'll have one a cup or rebuilding by then.

Thread: Offseason Moves

I didn't see anything realistic there. Let's start at the top. Too much for Engvall. Campbell would ask for more if he's gonna be treated like a starter this year, or even a really good tandem goalie w/ Mrazek. There is literally no logic in that Helley trade. Why would they even bother trying to improve if they're not only gonna trade away a top 2 goalie in the league, debatably the best, but also their ONLY good goalie. Nylander is good, but that ain't worth it for them. Why would you trade Matthews? For anything? Doesn't matter the return, there isn't a trade in which I'd consider trading away Matthews unless McDavid is coming back the other way. Franchise goal-scorers capable of putting up consistent 50 goal seasons are extremely rare, even more so when they can do more than just score goals. So that trade isn't close to value, especially when the replacement first-line center is Tavares, who is getting past his prime. And his planned replacement is Henrique, who isn't very good anyway. This acgm made the Leafs significantly worse without considering other teams needs as well.
