Thread: TDL Horror Show
I think a lot of NHL GMs would trade Byram for Hertl, no question. If your window is open NOW, you trade futures for a better shot, no question. But there are some GMs who operate on a longer horizon. Keeping Byram gives Colorado a wider, if shallower, window.

You can find success either way, but the only teams since the lockout who've won with the latter approach are the Red Wings and maybe the Bruins.

If the refs make the right call on Zadorov in game 6, there isn't a game 7 to worry about. Anyone can play that game.

Thread: DAL Getting Something for Dobby b4 Expansion
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JumboFett</b></div><div>Stars do have Bow and Point, but if they also have Dobby while being forced to protect Bishop due to his NMC then SEA will be free to choose Dobby. Flipping Dobby for picks/prospects before SEA takes him for free would be the best case scenario. DAL's other option would be to bribe SEA to avoid Dobby, but that costs them something.

I love the idea of having Dobby in SJ for many reasons; he's a long-time friend of our vet and goalie coach, Nabby, we have a young, Russian goaltender who could use a mentor like Dobby, and he's just an awesome guy who our fanbase would shower with praise.</div></div>

Oh I don’t disagree with the trade as a whole. I’ve got no issues sending Dobby to SJ. I just don’t see a the need for Dubnyk to be in this deal. Any package of picks/prospects would be fine &amp; allows San Jose to get a return for Dubynk elsewhere.

I’m 100% on board to shop Khudobin at the TDL

Thread: Tiburon
Also, last year, kreuger wanted skinner to drive play on his own line. Unfortunately the ex-gm gave the coach marcus johansson as the #2 center (he was steaming hot garbage and hadnt played center in years), and some combination of connor sheary, jimmy vesey, vladimir sobotka, and evan rodrigues as wingers. So skinner had very very little to play with. Now kreuger has decided that skinner is going to be a more well rounded player or he will sit. Im not as upset as most fans are, its the coaches prerogative to make his players play his gameplan. Hes not hurting his trade value, hes probably 2 million over market even if he puts up 30g and 20a, which means hes going to be here for awhile. Of course we need goals, skinner should be back in the lineup soon, not sure how far kreuger is willing to take this. Skinner has had this rep his whole career- no defense, probably good for 30g/20a in a good year, not sure at 28 with 60 million guatanteed that hes going to change that now.

@any other fans (or users of any fanbases idc) if there’s interest in discussion

Open for fair critique of players/ projections and others I did not mention (I only chose a starting roster of 4 lines 3 pairs and 2 goalies)

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JumboFett</b></div><div>100%! With Stutzle and Norris coming up (as well as their $925k price tags) I have a strong feeling OTT's just buying time to trade out Cobra. Why else would they have taken this long to re-sign him?</div></div>

I think they probably don't want to give Tierney the full amount of money he wants (cause the Sens org is cheap af) so they're waiting for his arbitration hearing which is on November 8th. So if they are intent on keeping him, that's probably why it's taken this long. It's possible they don't want to keep him as well though. You never know.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JumboFett</b></div><div>I'm not certain what his trade value would be, but if they can unload him for a reasonable return I think they will.</div></div>

Me neither, but if it's similar to what you've posted, I'm all in. This would only further Doug's plan to get the 2015-16 gang back together. The sens have a lot of solid guys in the pipelines and could quite possibly be wanting to get rid of him to make space for Stuetzle/Norris/Brown/Chlapik.

I was mulling over true 3C options (not Handemark or Kellman like Kurz is suggesting, but a real 3C). I was thinking of Kahun, or even Sutter, but the best possible option would be bringing back Cobra!

It would fit with the locker room reunion that seems to be going on, and he could play all over the lineup if needed. Too bad he's behind a f**kin OTT paywall!!</div></div>

I'm definitely interested in the prospect of getting a legit center for sure. But with that being said, I don't know if OTT does this or not. If the biggest pick we have to give up is a 3rd+B/C grade prospects, I'd be down, but still a bit hesitant depending on what Tierney's arbitration $$ ends up being. But I think there would be better offers out there from other teams as well. I also have a soft spot for Cobra though so keep that in mind haha.

But hey you know what maybe Melnyk/Dorion decide to be cheap mother****ers again and decide to trade him for cheap. I dunno. Anything is possible.
