Thread: what MTL fans want for Domi
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jmcp</b></div><div>On a totally unrelated notes, what is going on in Pitt to trade every decent prospect they have? It's like you are proud of having nothing in the pipeline.</div></div>

thats kind of exactly the point.

Basically, when 2022 hits the following things happen:

1. Sid and letang will be 35 and geno will be 36
2. Geno's contract ends he he probably goes to russia
3. Letangs contract end and he is likely gone as well
4. our goalies will not be RFA anymore
5. Rust and Kapanens team friendly deals end
6. we have no first round picks in the next 2 years (Zucker and Kapanen)

weve got 2 years and its all or nothing. It is a MUST that we give it everything weve got while Sid the Kid is still playing, this is pittsburghs legacy right here.

The plan is simple, It's ride or die with this core, and when it comes time to "die" in 2022, we want to fall hard and fast. dont get stuck in mediocrity, fall right to the bottom and rebuild hard with super early first round picks

Thread: Legit offer for Eichel
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jmcp</b></div><div>I agree, but when a franchise player leaves, it is because there is some sort of a dead-end situation (contract negociation, trade request because the teams want to rebuild, etc.)

So if Eichel leaves, it is because he and the Sabres are not on the same page. Therefore, Buffalo doesn't COMPLETELY have a full leverage here.

Take the Karlsson trade as a comparative. Karlsson is not worth as much as Eichel, but still. He was arguably a top5 D in the league when he was traded and Eichel a top 5 C in the league too. So for a massive trade like that, then you can assume there is 2-3 primary pieces. For Ott, it was the a 2020 1st and Josh Norris. The rest was complementary pieces.

So for Eichel, there is probably 2-3 primary pieces. Certainly one of KK/Caufield/Suzuki as a starter. Certainly a 1st round pick, I assume it will be in 2021 or 2022. Certainly another top quality prospect (one of Romanov, Primeau or Poehling perhaps?). And for sure a roster player and complementary pieces like 2nd rd and all.

To be realistic, a trade needs to have a slighty chance to happen, and for that, you need to put a context with it, and take similar trades as a reference.</div></div>

I appreciate that rationale. You make some fair points. I know you already acknowledged that Eichel has more value than EK, but I would emphasize that Eichels age and contract/term are another huge factor that puts Eichel in an entirely different category of value.

I could see my original trade with 1 first rounder instead of 2, but thats it. Even without leverage, Eichel gets you 4 key assets in my opinion.

Thread: MTL- realiste calm down
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>F50marco</b></div><div>I don't understand it. Its literally out of nowhere as if people are doing it on purpose to try and get a rise out of others. What blows my mind, is I can see fans of other teams trying to do it. Can't fathom fans of the Habs trying to incite other fans of the Habs........ Might as well start an AGM stating "That Gallagher needs to be traded, he's not 5 foot 9 enough...."

I'm watching the same games as everyone else and if you are coming away from the games thinking Domi is the one that needs to be traded, than I am completely baffled at this fanbase.</div></div>

I do admit that the MTL market is pretty unforgiving..... You're loved or hated by fans... There's no in-between.

KK is another one going through the ringer ATM
