Thread: Staying on Top
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>dannibalcorpse</b></div><div>-the Reverse Toews! I'm here for it!

-I think Soucy gets a bigger return but he's a decent target to replace Girard.

-I think Nichushkin &amp; MAF sign for bigger deals but you've got the room to play with on this team so not a worry for me.

-Agree with upthread - Eric Gustafsson is a decent 7th D but he's an all offense/no defense kind of D. You can probably get a decent LD3 for a mid/late round pick or $2-3M in UFA instead of going cheap on him.</div></div>

This is great! Thank you for the detailed feedback, I think you're right about Nuck and MAF, it's tough to guess salary especially after winning the cup and how much interest there likey is out there for a player like Nuck. We don't need more offensive defensemen, whoo would be the replacement for Gust?

Thread: Wishful Thinking
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Xqb15a</b></div><div>All right smart ass why would a Stanley cup contending team trade a top 4 dman for picks that MIGHT be something in 3 years? How does that make them better? Everything for the Avs is done in the context of how do they win now. There was a real solid proposal on another ACGM trading him Sharangovich, Mukhamadulin and a pick. They end up with a young top 6 wing on an with upside who already is a 20 goal scorer and a d prospect maybe a year away.</div></div>

Wow, not trying to be a "smart ass" but anything I say to you will come off as intellectually sound because of your lack of awareness. Salary move (Mackinnons/Byrams upcoming contacts), prospects like Behrens in the pipeline, trade bait additions - missing 1st round picks makes it difficult to compete in a trade, etc. Girard is the most expendable d-man and his value to us is not replacing with another salaried player unless that player fits our long-term goal. This trade allows for a myriad of options.....that's why!

Thread: Trade Deadline
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Dmh1055</b></div><div>Okay, your first post wasn't real clear what was happening. I think the Flyers are on board with a deal frame work that revolves around Bowers, Jost, and Colorado's choice of Helleson, Barron, or Behrens. You are one of the few Colorado fans that seems to want Barron or Helleson included over Behrens. The logic is that Behrens is more easily replaceable as a LHD opposed to the other two who are RHD. The Flyers would absolutely prefer one of the RHD.</div></div>

You're not quite aware of the difference between Helleson/Barron and Behrens other than their handedness. He's a freshman point-per-game player for the #2/3 team in the nation - if he continues this performance into his sophomore year and beyond, he's a perennial Hobey Baker candidate meaning his value is a lot higher than getting an aging rental player. Personally, I would offer Helm, Murrey and a sixth-round pick for a player that wouldn't even be top-5 in points on the current avs roster. We don't need him so why would we overpay for him?

Thread: MacK Extension
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CD282</b></div><div>McDavid took less than he was worth at $100M. MacKinnon will take the same tack.

If it's not $100M it'll be close to that. This guy suggesting $8 - 8.5M per is out of his mind, MacKinnon will not take less than Rantanen.

I agree with you there, no way he'll take less than Rants. But identifying what a player is "worth" also has to include the league salary cap. When McDavid signed in 18' his cap hit was between 15%-16% against the team's total salary - how much should he had been paid? The cap will only be $3-4mm more (figures crossed it's higher) when MacK's contract comes to an end, and if in -line with McDavid, he'd be paid relatively the same. Have the salaries of Toronto's top-3 and McDavid helped them or hurt them when it comes to winning the cup? We know winning matters a ton to MacK, it comes down to how that factors in (2-5% points +- cap, etc.)?
