Thread: Creating room for KAP

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>RalphMac</b></div><div>Yamamoto is a prospect, zucker is top 6, sliding kap there. Donoto is a third liner and no one knows on pulujarvi.

Puljujarvi is 2nd line RW and Yamamoto is a healthy scratch. You have a 24 man roster with Kaprizov.

Thread: Creating room for KAP

You send out 2 forwards and bring in 2 to create room for Kaprizov? I'm not sure how to explain that isn't how math works..

Thread: Would they do it

Remake their roster mid-season? Neither team makes a trade of this scope now, maybe in the summer.

Thread: CBJ NYR STL

Trading a 1st in 2021 is risky given how poorly this team played the start of this season, especially given the lack of top end prospects in the pipeline.

I'd want nothing to do with a guy who's having his 1st good season and there's not enough sample size to suggest it's not a fluke. If anything, they need to unload a top 6 forward between now and next October to make a spot for Kaprizov so bringing in anyone doesn't make sense.

Thread: Playoff push

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>RalphMac</b></div><div>who need goaltending help, not a cap dump. Wild have 3 ready to go goalies</div></div>

Send Kahkonen back to Iowa and let him be the starter there on a playoff run when Dubnyk is back. He's played 2 NHL games, no need to jump to conclusions and rush his development.

Wings absolutely don't need Dubnyk. He's struggled this year and they're not a goalie away from contending, so they can worry about their goalie problems later after picking top 4 this season.

I remember Scandella talking about how much he loves Montreal as a city in a story wrote about him when he played for the Wild. I always liked him as a player, he'd be cheap for the Habs to acquire from Buffalo and probably give them a hometown discount if they signed him next summer.

Thread: Leafs dump Ceci

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Paul13</b></div><div>In your opinion is this fair value between the two teams?
Stalock I think is movable, he is playing well along with the team. The Wild, as I'm sure you know, are not legit cup contenders so Wild could try and go with some weird rotation of Kahkonen, Robson, and Dubnyk ( when Dubnyks wife is better.) This also means Wild will need to adjust and work with things in Iowa. I like the idea of seeing more of Kahkonen and Robson just to see where they are at.
Your point about Leafs not needing a LHD I agree with, so both teams probably do not make a deal.</div></div>

Stalock is a perfect guy for the Wild now. Let Kahkonen get a taste of the NHL now, but I'd really like to see him spend this year getting starting time in Iowa and see how deep he can take them in the playoffs. There's no reason to rush him, they made that mistake with Kuemper and look how that turned out.

Value I think is in the Wild's favor, with them only sending one valuable player and Toronto sending 2 back. Donato is in danger of being a bust, so no use to Toronto for his salary. Stalock's value is weird, because he's worth more to Minnesota than another team due to their situation. He also wouldn't solve the Leaf's backup goalie problem because he'd be playing behind a much worse defense and wouldn't be as good.

Thread: Leafs dump Ceci

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MacerV</b></div><div>This trade is an easy no.</div></div>

Neither team does this. Stalock is the Wild's starter right now and has them in the playoff conversation. Brodin might be moveable of Soucy keeps it up, but it's still too early to make that decision.

Leafs don't need another LHD and they'll need cheap players like Liljegren in the next few seasons.

Wild decline. Stalock is their starter right now and they're in a better position to make the playoffs then the Leafs right now.

Thread: Get a backup

Why would the Wild remotely consider this? Stalock is their starter right now and he's got them closer to a playoff spot then the Leafs are right now. Hunt has been great for the Wild, no chance this is remotely considered.

Forum: Armchair-GMWed at 10:53 pm

Thread: What would the Wild want for Brodin

Look what the Leafs paid for Muzzin and that's the comparison Guerin would use for value. I think they'd consider moving Brodin if they received a good offer AND they feel Soucy can keep up his current level of play to replace him as a 2nd pair LHD. They're not moving Fiala now, he's playing like the player they need right now. Nothing you've offered would interest them.

I was actually glad they played so poorly to start and hoped I was wrong about them being a better team than pretty much anyone gave them credit for being. Sadly they're starting to find their groove and it looks like another year drafting 12-16 for them. :(

Thread: The team is hot

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>RalphMac</b></div><div>I half agree, and half disagree. Strome is in his final year, and wild will almost certainly buy out rask. Wild could easily slide strome, or even koivu down if he doesnt retire. IMO this team can easily win now, with a litte scoring help</div></div>

Eh, they're not any better than they've been over the last 5 years. Good enough to make the playoffs, not good enough to go far once they do. They go on streaks where they look great and then struggle for extended periods of time.

Strome doesn't change that, just like anything they added in previous deadlines didn't. Hall could help, but he'd cost too much for a rental and if they sign him, he'd be yet another guy signed into his late 30s.

Forum: Armchair-GMWed at 12:15 pm

Thread: The team is hot

They need to keep their picks and rebuild their prospect pool. If anything, I'd try to move Donato out for a pick and give a guy like Mayhew a chance this year. They need a top 6 roster spot next year for Kaprizov, so bringing in Strome might make their choices next year even harder.

Forum: Armchair-GMWed at 12:08 pm

Thread: trade

Toronto can't afford a 23 man roster and you're sending them more salary while taking a non-roster player (that as SammyT mentioned is pretty much untouchable).

Take Strome (who they don't really need) and Sandin out and put in someone like Johnsson or Kapanen to make the salary work and you have the start of something that might work. Not sure Toronto offers their 1st, but that depends on which winger goes out I guess.

Thread: Take Two

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>KakkoForMauriceRichardAward</b></div><div>Would Koivu waive his NMC to go to a contender?</div></div>

Highly doubt it. Russo touched on that topic in a story he wrote about Koivu leading up to his 1000th game and Saku was quoted as saying it means a lot to Mikko to have only played for 1 team and to be a captain for so long. He'll likely finish out his career in Minnesota, just a question of if that's this summer or they extend him again.

Thread: Replacing Spurg

He's out 4-6 weeks and they have Seeler and Belpedio ready to go with Pateryn due back after this road trip. They won't make a trade.

I wouldn't trade Soucy (pending RFA playing well) for Hutton (pending UFA) regardless of Spurgeon's injury anyhow.

Thread: Oilers fans which trade

Wild aren't likely to trade Fiala now, he's played really well the last month and is starting to look like the player they hoped he'd be. Donato would probably be available.

Thread: Going WILD with trades

The Wild aren't trading Stalock. They had a rough start, but they're in the playoff conversation now and that's largely thanks to Stalock providing stability for them. As much as I'd love to see them sell off assets and rebuild, that won't happen this year.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Goldninja0</b></div><div>Switch ceci from 4.5 mil to like 3.83 mil</div></div>

Except he had a QO from Ottawa that came with him for $4.3m. It's not like Toronto could walk away from it, it was already tendered and waiting for Ceci to sign which he likely would have if it got to it being that or seeing what he was worth in free agency. If he thought he was worth more in free agency, he wouldn't have signed a contract for only $200k more.

Granlund didn't really pan out as a center. Minnesota tried that for years and he didn't break out until they moved him to Koivu's wing. Not sure he'd be the 2C the Rangers need.

Thread: What happened to Turris

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>kingkobra69</b></div><div>My friend you shouldn't drink the OTF kool-aid. The conspiracy theory drivel over there makes it near impossible to read. The 2 "AHLers" play a different position and offer totally opposite skill-sets. Bottom line for me is that GMDP would not allow Turris to sit in the pressbox if it would hurt the Preds. Regardless of what you think of Lavi that should be enough.

To the original question there isn't a spot for him. The top 3 centers have cemented their spots and Turris doesn't belong on a checking line. Wing experiment failed. Turris has played fine when in the lineup but he doesn't improve any of our current lines when on the ice. Simple.</div></div>

So do you think he'd be a good player for a different team? I know the Preds don't want to have $6m sitting in the press box, but they also don't want to sell low on a guy they just gave up assets for. Plenty of teams could use a center if he can bounce back to being a 50 point player for another few years. What do you think the Preds would accept for him?

After the November Fiala had, I'm guessing Guerin holds on to him unless it's an overpay. He's starting to look more consistent and hopefully is going to be close to the player Fenton thought he was that he gave up Granlund for.
