PIT won with an uglier D-core because they're sooo stacked upfront..same principle.

Weak as in little options for him. Mason, Berinier, Elliot, Condon, Miller all vying for realistically 2-3 Jobs</div></div>

Pit has the 2 of the top 5 centers in the nhl and elite goaltending. Winnipeg does not.

Thread: WPG NYR prior to expansion
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>scarbrow21</b></div><div><div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JuniorGM</b></div><div>Jesus this makes the jets cap situation a mess in a 1-2. Why would you do this?</div></div>

hows this a mess in 1-2 years? You have 8.4M in CAP space, Mathias, Stuart, Enstrom, Little all come off the books next year freeing 15.2M totaling 23.6M next year to sign Trouba, Ehlers, Morrise, Little, lowry, Armia, Raanta. The Stepan acquisition means that if Little wants too much, he's not really needed so if he takes a discount perfect if not you have a replacement already. Let's highball guess what everyone else gets and say Trouba gets a raise to 8M per meaning (+5.2M), Ehlers to 6M (+5M), Morrisey to 5M (+4M), Lowry to 2M (+.750K) Armia to 2M (+1.25) and Raanta to 3M (+2M) that's a total of 19.2M...meaning you STILL have 4.4M space to sign Little. If he doesn't except a pay cut he'd have to be traded but what kind of assets would he bring back? Or you can then flip Stepan and imagine what he'd bring back considering his value likely to be inflated playing between Ehlers and Laine in which you make Little the #2C and have 11M going into the next year when Laine, Connor and Roslovic need contracts. Off the books that year is Wheeler and other 1M players, freeing additional 6M making about 17M to resign Wheeler, Connor, Laine, and Roslovic. Should be enough to cover them all and if not, guess you have to trade Perrault or Wheeler but eventually this team will have to trade talent because this team can't be kept together forever (like TB and why they likely have to move Drouin). Still I really don't see where the problem is??

After all that. I've come to the conclusion you just never have anything positive to say and just like to criticize everyone else as I've literally never seen you make a team, but constantly come here to critique other people</div></div>

You are super light on your contracts there guy. Super light. Also Laine and wheeler are likely eating up 16mil. Also I have posted many teams just don't waste my time with garbage and I can properly evaluate a player.

Thread: Leafs flat cap
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MG1986</b></div><div>You need to factor in the fact that Shattenkirk was a pure rental while Trouba becomes an RFA after his deal is up so he is still under team control. I really don't like Trouba's attitude though. Seems more drama follows him than necessary for a dressing room (the Leafs) that is all about culture, apparently. I'd much rather the Leafs make a bigger deal with the Islanders. People also seem to forget that Gardiner just had a fantastic year and is on a an extremely reasonable deal with term. Although this is all quite theoretical, if, say, the Flames needed to save money, I would love to see a hockey deal swap of Jake Gardiner for Dougie Hamilton.</div></div>

Being from Winnipeg I can tell you that Trouba is no issue in the jets locker room. The players and coaching staff love him. His best friend is Scheifele he is really close with Copp and he works out in the summer with Wheeler. A player has a right to want to play in a different city but there is no issue in the locker room. Some issue with management but thats business. He has a lot of pressure from family to play in the US (branding him or something) plus his GF was in medical school in the states. She did stay with Trouba this winter in winnipeg so maybe they worked that out.

Trouba + Connor for Hanifin + Rask ??

That would be a no; Canes need a top center. Like I said in the description though, this trade would never ever happen anyways.</div></div>

Trouba is straight up the best player in that trade. Yes he is better and more important to the jets than Scheifele. Also canes need scoring. it can come from the wingers or center hell even the dmen but more scoring is what they need.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Blazingbat11</b></div><div><div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>steinosaur19</b></div><div>Re: Vegas trade .... It's been reported by both Aaron Portzline and Friedman that the 24th OA pick AND prospects are in play. Vegas sends over their 2nd round pick in order to better balance out the trade since Milano is involved.

Re: Galchenyuk ... It's also been reported that Chucky is open to a 1-2 year "show me" deal. He's not going to get more than 4M on a 1-2 year deal....and why should he? He's a young, cost controlled RFA. If he's going to go short term, no one is going to want to give him the ability to get a qualifying offer higher than what he deserves after a bridge deal. A 2 year deal could be structured that he makes 3M in year 1, and 5M in year 2, making his next qualifying offer at 5M+. Certainly realistic.</div></div>

I'll take your word for the Vegas deal, but you're dead wrong for Galchenyuk, yes he is an RFA, but he is eligible for arbitration this year. and with the numbers he's been putting up, he will easily get $4.5mil for a bridge deal. Let's put it this way, Chuky has put similar or better numbers than Tyler Toffoli from LAK for the past couple years, and he just signed at $4.6mil.</div></div>

Toffoli is elite defensively and scores.

Thread: "Hammer" out the deal
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>scarbrow21</b></div><div><div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JuniorGM</b></div><div>You are relieving Hawks of contracts no need to give up so much. Also taking on Kruger is not smart from a jets point of view.</div></div>

It's also not dumb if you're getting Hammer and losing Lowry to expansion. Top 4 LHD who's an excellent shut down guy. He's litteraly no risk which is perfect pair for Buff. Yes taking on Krugers deal is not the best but it doesn't screw us long term (only 2 years which is perfect) and he replaces Lowry on the 4th line (similar possession numbers) and PK.
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>chezyldayoff</b></div><div>You don't think Hjalmersson would get taken in the expansion draft instead of Lowry??

I love the idea of getting him as he would solidify our top 4.....and we have the cap space to add Kruger to entice the Hawks. However, we'd have to buy out (or trade) Enstrom in order to make that work before expansion draft.</div></div>

We don't have to buy out Enstrom or trade him. Deal is done after expansion</div></div>

Hawks have to move contracts. No team jets or otherwise needs to over pay. You have trouba, morrissey, ehlers and armia contracts to deal with next season. Thats what 17-20 mil plus if they extend little. no room for a 3 mil 4th liner.

Thread: Would the Flyers consider this? Should the Canucks?
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>brian_gull</b></div><div><div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JuniorGM</b></div><div>

He didn't produce at 5vs5 this season. Has always been around elite talent except this season and look at the drop and he's as old as you can be in a draft year. Losing ground in your draft year compared to your draft -1 yr as a late birthday isn't good.</div></div>

he was injured. and not 100%. And to answer the drop in performance in his draft year. Did you remember how he missed last years draft by 5 days??? and was rumored to maybe even go in the top 10 in that years draft??! a whole year younger(!) Without the Injury this season I bet it wouldn't be as close of a debate as it is.</div></div>

so you completely disregard everything because of injury? He didn't have mono or something that lingers all season.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>brian_gull</b></div><div><div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NateElder12</b></div><div>

i wouldn't be surprised if Glass turns out as good as Duchene.</div></div>

I respect your guys opinions but What is it that you do not like in Patrick? Other than Injury history. If you look at this kids Statistics throughout his entire playing career dating back to 2011 he has been a monster in the points column. He has a big body and from film makes just a good passes as Hischier, better in Defensive zone (although Hischier's defensive game is underrated), and has a hard shot that will beat keepers in the NHL no doubt. If people are shying away from this kid because of injuries that is unfair. He was misdiagnosed in the summer and that caused him to miss the majority of this season because he had to get the correct side of the groin repaired. Steven Stamos is a perfect example. Not saying Patrick is going to be anywhere close to as good as Stamkos but he can't stay healthy either. Now would that still shy you away from picking him first overall? When on the ice, he is a game changer and a force to reckon with. I just don't think you pass on a player based on Injuries. He's a teenager and his body is still growing. Injuries are going to happen. Curious to hear a well- thought out opinion on Patrick from any of you. Just so that I can see why people are shying away</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NateElder12</b></div><div>Good idea but I have zero interest in Tanev. Can't finish a full season, doesn't drive play, doesn't do much for the Flyers. If you are willing to send Stetcher then I'd be willing to do #2/Hagg for #5/Stretcher. Only if Glass/Tippett are on the board though. Not sold on Vilardi and definitely want no parts of Mittelstadt.

If Nico goes first overall if I'm the flyers a do that in a heart beat. You already have Patrick his name is Couturier.</div></div>

If Patrick turns out to be at worst Coots then I'll be happy. I'd rather stay at #2 and take the next coots than trade it for Tanev...</div></div>

I wouldn't be surprised if Glass and Suzuki both have very similar careers to Patrick.
