Thread: NOTE
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TMG</b></div><div>That 2nd PP looks more like the first to me.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>LGBstl</b></div><div>I kind of thought the same thing, was surprised Petro and Faulk were both on the same unit.</div></div>

The PP formations are definitely a little odd but it should be interesting to see how they work. That second unit (I agree with y'all it's really the 1st unit) has arguably our 5 best players in transition - they should have no issue gaining entry and setting up. My fear is that they run into problems with predictability as Tarasenko is the obvious shooting threat.

Excited to see Thomas on that unit - they'll probably try to emulate TOR PP1 with Thomas making the plays from the right side, looking cross-ice for Tarasenko gliding in from the blue line, or throwing it toward the crease to let Schwartz/Schenn make plays in tight.

Thread: Would Columbus accept this
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>LGBstl</b></div><div>Yeah Dillon cant be included and it would take the 1st and two really good players and or high end prospects. And at that point idk if it is worth it for the Sharks.

Lebanc, Gambrell and a 1st is more what I think it would take.</div></div>

Yeah but sharks would rather labanc than Anderson at this point.

Trying to make it an achievable trade.

Chmelevski
True
Gambrell
1st
???

If we’re counting Gambrell (nhl ready guy) that’s 3 top sharks guys, I mean the only better we got is Merkley and Chekhovich but Columbus would rather Centre to go behind Dubois I assume.

Dubois
Wennberg
Texier
Gambrell or Sasha (he may stay down another year)
Or Gambrell can play wing and than you got True and Sasha as 2 centre guys, Sasha being the big piece of the trade, than Gambrell, than true + the first

Thread: Getting Rid Of Unneeded Cap pt 1
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BraydenSchenn10istheGOAT</b></div><div>Ottawa needs a goalie so they get Allen and we take back Anderson for cap reasons, steens a cap dump had to take back Calahan for cap reasons, and they could use Edmundson they probably would sign him to an extension. So what prospect do you think I should have taken back.</div></div>

Slow down: Allen and Anderson have roughly equal ability and cap hits. Steen and Callahan have roughly equal cap hits but one isn't playing this year and his cap hit won't count.

So it's all a wash until you get to Edmundson + 2nd + 4th for Brannstrom (arguably top-5 defensive prospect in the NHL, ready for NHL right now) and a 1st round pick (OTT projects to be a bottom-5 team in the final standings, meaning their pick will be anywhere from 1st overall (most likely) to 7th overall.

So none of it is realistically going to happen. And if the goal is to move Edmundson's cap, his value given his contract/performance last year, his value is probably between a 2nd and 3rd round pick.

Thread: Is this a trade fit
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>LGBstl</b></div><div>Base of trade is probably solid because Tampa needs cap relief, but ANA will need to add a decent amount to even it out. And Tampa is in a position to win now so they will want solid players.

Maybe Ritchie and Kase or a higher end prospect.</div></div>

Yeah for sure, I just wasn't sure of Gourde's value. I was just looking at TB's cap situation next season with Vasy getting his raise, Point signing in the 8M-9.5M range and Sergachev, Cirelli, Cernak all needing new contracts they are going to be in a serious cap crunch. although I think Kase &gt; Gourde so I dont think he's the add but thats my opinion and it could be wrong

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CrossFireX33</b></div><div>I don't think ritchie has that much value, Gourde can play on the top two lines where Ritchie is more of a bottom 6 guy</div></div>

Oh for sure, Ducks would be the ones adding I just was wondering if a deal with this as the base is realistic

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Barbs</b></div><div>On its own Gourde &gt; Ritchie but If Tampa needs cap space they might make a move like this</div></div>

They will next year for sure with Vasy getting his raise, Point signing in the 8M-9.5M range and Sergachev, Cirelli, Cernak all needing new contracts they are going to be in a serious cap crunch. I know this wouldnt be 1 for 1, I just thought the base made sense
