Thread: My Preferred TDL
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GeneralLandro</b></div><div>Sorry but Anaheim isn’t doing it</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Salzy</b></div><div>The Ducks are 100% not in a position to give up a package of that magnitude for one player. We're at least a year and a half away from trades like that (If everything goes smoothly, which it rarely if ever does)</div></div>

I disagree. Chychrun is a win now and later move, given his age and reasonable cap hit. Even with the assets going out the Ducks still have a loaded pipeline. Mahura doesn't play (despite that I think he's good).. even with this trade the Ducks are still loaded with Zellweger, BOG, and Perreault on the way. Chrychrun is also insurance for if Lindholm walks at the end of the year (also Lindholm is gonna ask for $6 mil plus AAV, so replacing him with an equal to higher ceiling player for 4.6). Anything is possible for this team when Gibson is on his game and top 4 going into this year's playoffs of Chychrun, Lindholm, Fowler, Drysdale is great. IDK, i think it makes tons of sense.

Thread: Bolts Deadline
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Rangsey</b></div><div>I think I'm missing something here... What's Crouse's deal? I get he's the coveted UFA this year but Goodrow and Coleman were 2 years on bargain deals. And Savard was an experienced RHD playing top minutes.
What makes Crouse and automatic 1st rounder + good prospect? Esp with no retention or anything</div></div>

Crouse isn't UFA, he's RFA so he's still under team control. He's only 1.5 against the cap so is a bargain deal. Watch a couple Yotes games and you'll get it, he's a super physical power forward, skates very well for his size. He's been productive despite being on a historically terrible team.. his centers the last three seasons have been a dying Derek Stepan and Johan Larsson. He's also a natural leader, always sticks up for teammates, willing go into every "hard" area of the ice. Also we have an award here in AZ given out by the local hockey writers called the "Shane Doan Good Guy Award" that is given to the player who treats the community, fans, and media with the most kindness and respect.. Crouse got it this year. On the Bolts he's a plug and play 25 goal winger.. he's like much higher ceiling Pat Maroon. A prospect and 1st would be well worth the investment

Thread: chychrun idea when healthy
I think there a lot of flaws with your thought process and I don't think that the Eichel trade is as good an analog as people think it is. First, I don't think the Coyotes would be interested in a Tuch like comparable. First, Buffalo was very concerned with getting someone who wanted to be in Buffalo.. Tuch being from Western NY and willing to be in Buffalo was a big deal... AZ doesn't have that concern. Second, Buffalo is further along in the rebuild and has many more piece in place (Dahlin, Cozens, Power, Quinn) where adding a young vet like Tuch makes sense. AZ is going down to the studs.. someone 25 years old is too old.. that player would be 30 when the rebuild is ending and out of their prime

Second, Chychrun is cost controlled at 4.6 rather than Eichels 10. The conditions on the picks coming from Vegas would not have been there if Buffalo had been willing to retain.. where as with Chychrun his cap number is so low there's no such concern.

Third, Eichel had demanded a trade which forced Buffalo's hand. Chychrun has not requested a trade.. and to be honest the Coyotes are listening they aren't even shopping him. Coyotes have no incentive to move Chychrun unless they have their doors blown off.

I don't MTL is as a fit given their lack of a absolute blue chip prospects that they would be willing to move and the knowledge that any first rounders would likely protected.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>PleaseBanMeForMyOwnGood</b></div><div>Crouse is so ridiculously overrated on this site. He's bad defensively and his offence is inflated due to being a main guy on the worst team in hockey. Engvall is more useful than Crouse.</div></div>

Lawson Crouse at 5v5 this season Scoring chances for vs against 169/154 52.32% High Danger chances for/against 68/60 53.13% - so he's actually quite a positive defensive player on a historically bad team. He's also 6th on the team in PP ice time so he's not getting massive special teams run to "inflate" his offense. He's a terrific burgeoning power forward that if he played with a real center would have even better numbers.

Idk maybe watch a Coyotes game and do a little research before talking down on a player :)

Thread: Next Year - Assuming Shane Wright - and NO Chychrun Trade
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Warrior24</b></div><div>Josh Bailey is not Andrew Ladd, isles are not paying draft picks to move him.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Alfie11</b></div><div>do you even watch hockey lmao, none of those guys are cap dumps except maybe matheson, who has too much term for anyone to take on unless they believe he can rebound into a top 4 guy (and like, who believes that)</div></div>


Do you even watch hockey or follow the league or understand the cap? Okay first

Re: Monahan, he’s currently 10th in ice time per game among flames forwards - the only line up regulars playing less minutes than him at Milan Lucic, Dillon Dube and Trevor Lewis. He has only 4 goals in 28 games and is a -9 on team with a +25 goal differential. He's essentially now a 4C making almost 7 million on a team that needs to resign Johnny G, Mangianpane, Tkachuk, and replace half of their defense and only have 30 million to do it.

Re Bailey: the islanders have 13 mil in cap space next year with with Noah Dobson to resign and 3 defenseman spots to fill. He has 1 goal in 21 games this year. He’s 32????

Re: Dadanov: Vegas only has 2 mil in cap space next year and that is without resigning Smith, McNabb, Janmark and replacing literally ALL of their depth.


But sure go off king
