Thread: Josh Anderson rumor nonsense
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Blazingbat11</b></div><div>Well look at my reply to Jacketsman61, Anderson being cheap is highly debatable.
Odds are there's probably a lot more players that would fit MTL's needs that are available that we just don't know about. For me, if the Habs could get a team to acquire DeBrusk from BOS and flip him to MTL, ala Hoffman to SJ to FLA, I'd be over the moon.</div></div>

Well think of it this way, if Anderson would have been healthy this past season and had a repeat of the previous season, he would easily command 6 mil+. As it stands he wants a long term deal now. If he signs a long term deal it is conceivable that 4 or 5 mil gets it done. Let’s look at the open market, Hoffman got paid 5 mil+ and Taylor Hall was at 6 mil. They will get raises this offseason. Which means they could get paid about 10 mil or so for Hall and about 8 mil or so for Hoffman. Anderson would cost half the price and bring size and speed which is something Montreal needs.

Thread: Oilers Wishful Thinking
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>cody_tugak</b></div><div>The blue jackets also have Vehvilainen and Tarasov in development and already are pretty good goalies, so tell me why you wouldn't want a 1st, a prospect goaltender and a towering prospect defenceman? Will you put 3 goalies in play? How will you make cap space for when Bjorkstrand, Texier, Murray, Anderson and Dubois want a bigger payday? Oh yeah and when Vehvilainen and Tarasov also will want a shot at the big times and a bigger payday, what will happen to the tandem goaltenders they have on the team already?</div></div>

Both Elvis and Korpi are signed for two years. No need to trade unless we get top value. Bahl is not has a lot of question marks to him. The Jackets are currently loaded on defense and would rather get defense in the late part of the draft. A goalie? We won’t be looking for another prospect goalie coming back. And that 1st is two years from now. The Jackets are in a win now stage. A more appropriate offer would be Elvis for Caleb Jones, Ryan McLeod, Tom Mazura, and a 2020 1st

Thread: doing too much
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>buffbry</b></div><div>Who cares about frans, that wennberg contact is brutal, if you want us to take that cap hit you are going to add a massive piece or you can keep that contract. He is not even close to being good for that value of that contract.</div></div>

He has scored 59 points in a season before. Mind you it was also when Columbus had IMO a worse offensive group. My point is he is more of a change of scenery scenario. The biggest problem with Torts is he blenders the lines so much that chemistry is hard to form. Wennberg is a chemistry player. In a different place he probably would have more success. The Jackets are never going to get full value for him. But the the Jackets aren’t that desperate to where they are going to put high end assets on him to move him. His buyout is very affordable if it came to that.

Thread: I hope Puljujarvi can speak Swedish
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BeterChiarelli</b></div><div>I don't care if Khaira never scores again. The man is a penalty-killing machine and I'd give him term on a sub-$1M deal to do that forever. Part of hockey is killing penalties, and it's a role he thrives in.

Nuge was damn near on pace for 30 goals this year. You hope Bemstrom can hit 20. Find a goaltender elsewhere; Korpisalo hasn't been anywhere near as good as this past playoff run during his entire career. Edmonton can't be the fools that buy high on him.

Even if they must give to get, none of Bouchard, Broberg, or Jones should be expected to play top-4 minutes without proving they can do so. This isn't the year to trade either Klefbom or Nurse, and if you're trading one of them next year, it's not Klefbom.</div></div>

Korpi just has never really had a chance to be the guy. But one thing about Korpi is the more he plays the better he is.

Thread: CBJ Experiment No 1
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>dopplsan</b></div><div>(1) Hell, the Habs fans seemed to have jumped on this...did I undersell CBJ here?

(2) re: Korpi - He has shown to be very good in his own right. The big thing with him has been getting consistent play-time. He performed very well in his rookie season when he replaced an injured Bob, though was inconsistent when he was a true backup. He was selected to the All-Star game despite Elvis floundering in his early starts this year, ad I think he was an original selection, but got bumped out because of injury.

FWIW with Elvis, he only started to shine once Korpi went out and he was the defacto #1. And oh yeah, he was alright in the playoffs as well...

Point being, as a CBJ fan, I'm high on either goalie.</div></div>

First, welcome to ACGM on Capfriendly.

I do like most of these trades however, Arizona is not in a position to take a cap dump as they have their own cap issues. Montreal’s trade seems right on with what an expected return would be. On the Toronto trade I would up that 4th in 2020 to a 3rd either 2020 or 2021. That just seems a little low for both Korpi and Savvy.
