Thread: 3-team trade
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SKWPG</b></div><div>Okay Juan, seriously get someone to read the trade to you and explain in very small words.
1 - Steeves, Alex (NOTHING)
2 - 2023 1st round pick (BOS) (LATE 1st round picks are generally of little value - Unproven draft pick that "may" play in the NHL some day - So... NOTHING).

If you can't see that, then don't even bother replying. It's quite clear that the offer for the heart and soul of the Jets who does so much for them is worth a LOT more than NOTHING!</div></div>

That BOS pick might be a top 15 pick next draft, especially if Bergeron and Krechi are not coming back. They'll probably either try for speedy rebuild or a re-tool, and there's no certainty that they'll make the playoffs with a new roster.

Also, for your late first round pick has little value remark, while in theory this may be true, as there is uncertainty in that, you can't discount that more elite players have been coming from the late first round and even through the entire second round in the past 5 years. Just look at Dallas' 2017 Draft: Oettinger was a late first, Robo and Hintz were both second rounders.

Thread: Major Rebuild
I think this team does better in the standings than you think it will. Also, a "major rebuild" is trading away value for a bunch of high drafting picks. You seem to be getting 18-28 overall picks, which could be grade A prospects, but not as likely. If this were a "major rebuild" you should trade Ehlers, and not trade for Severson, who is young, but he is pretty good.

Overall, your blueline is pretty good minus Schmidt. In this you seem to be doing some rebuilding for some very good prospects, but I think they make a difference for the team to be good enough not to get a top 5-10 pick, even with Blackwood as your G.

If I'm the GM, I would prefer a re-tool, trading away Schiefle, Wheeler (locker room cancer guys per rumors), Dubois if he really wants to go, and Schmidt because I don't think he's good enough on a contender. WIth those trades, you can get some young and undervalued players. Hellebuyck is very good and will get you far in the playoffs, granted you have guys that can play in front of him. Also, there are still some UFAs that can be signed to help with depth. ie Sonny Milano.

Thread: Can the Flyers be saved
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ReelBigFan</b></div><div>Buffalo isn’t going to pay for JVR, but Ellis probably is done so not moving JVR would be fine for Philly. He put up 22 goals in the last 60 games of the year (after AV got fired) let him bring his value up and trade him at the deadline

Monahan Hayes is interesting. Hayes definitely is the much better player and is pretty much fairly priced, within a million of what he should be getting id say… I guess taking Kylington would be a good deal. He’d probably play with York on the 3rd pair

Would also clear cap next year or let Philly flip Monahan for like a 3rd if anyone needs a 4C</div></div>

The best post yet so far in here haha. Yeah the Hayes one is pretty good. I'm not a Philly fan, just bored at work and I like to think I have interesting ideas. My thought process for Monahan is he could probably benefit from a change of scenery and someone like Torts will either make or break him. He could be a good depth C for cheaper or return to form. Either way, Philly could keep him in what would be a good trade or deal him at the deadline.

My thought process for BUF taking JVR is he only has 1 year left on his contract and he scores goals, especially on the PP. I think BUF might want to do that deal as it's low risk. But I'm just spit balling here.
