Thread: Trade Deadline Predictions
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Shibbal18</b></div><div>Wow, no to that Philly trade. Seeler isn't a top 4 dman and Laughton is really f'in bad by all metrics, and Philly has been trying to move him since the summer, he's verifiably a negative. Jokiharju alone is too much, let alone Ostlund. Don't understand the point of the Edmonton trade. You also can't retain 4+ salaries</div></div>

Pretty sure it's not just Philly trying to move Laughton, there's been heavy interest for him for over a year now, some reports suggest Briere declined an offer of 1st+ in value for Laughton during last year's draft. They're not simply just gonna ship him away.

That being said, that is wayyyyy too much for him. Would be a more reasonable package without Östlund, but does BUF even need Laughton? Don't see it...

Thread: Travis Konecny per friedman
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>smokewiseganja</b></div><div>I just feel like Torts not loving him will effect is value. They'd probably have an offer like this lined up from a couple contenders, or a middle of the pack team could offer a much better prospect but not much else</div></div>

Who knows. I doubt Briere will move the needle unless he gets an offer that blows his pants away, and we haven't seen what kind of GM he is during the deadline. Konecny is atm the best asset Flyers have in their roster, they are in no hurry to move him.

Also, imo "coach not liking a player X" is a very subjective factor to add in a value discussion of a player. That doesn't really have anything to do with the player himself. At best, it's a miniscule nuance factor that might affect the players numbers slightly negatively due to not being played enough or in a wrong type of role.

Thread: Actually realistic no BS
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NMAvsFan</b></div><div>LOL; the other guy thought that wasn't enough for Ned. What would CBus be interested in for an underperforming pending UFA?</div></div>

I mean Behrens is a 20yo D-man scoring 20 points in 27 games in NCAA, that's a decent prospect in there, meanwhile Ned is having a good season for a 2G, but was signed as an UFA this year after being waived last year...I don't see huge trade value in that. It was a risk from Pens to get him, and so far it's been worth it for them. Still, in terms of trade value, I'll say maybe 3rd, 4th round pick? Goalies don't typically have huge trade value, and Behrens is more than that...

As for Roslovic, he'd been underperforming, but so is the whole Columbus team as a whole (yet again). However, I don't see what would adding an 8th or 9th D and a 25 year old forward with not much development potential add to their roster either, would rather just swap Roslovic for a pick.
