Thread: There will be trades tomorrow

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>csick</b></div><div>Wright and Beniers as the top 2 centres would set them for life lol</div></div>

Very true. Plus Gourde as 3C who plays every situation 15-16 minutes a night is perfect. Just need a solid 4C and you’d be perfect down the middle for a while.

Bean sucks according to everyone lol.
Kahkonen , they probably preferred Vanecek.
JVR , they probably wanted Philly to pay him to take him. Makes sense they’re playing hard ball with teams and force them to be desperate and give them their 1st round picks

Thread: Eichel for Lafreniere

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Leafs_and_Sens_Fan</b></div><div>Laf isn't terrible and is a good piece but Eichel is just better... Even with the neck thing I take Eichel over Lafreniere 10/10. Centres also have a lot more more value than wingers.

If the trade was reversed and Eichel was a Ranger you'd be saying this isn't enough...

Would you give Panarin half retained for the 1st OA pick in this draft?</div></div>

I wouldn't trade Laf str8 up for Eichel. Also you can't compare Panarin with Eichel cause Eichel is broken while Panarin is 100% fully heathly. Its that simple. What happens if Eichel in a couple years from now has to retire or has another surgery.. If not in a couple years maybe 4 years from ? maybe 5 years from now ? all while Laf plays 20 years in the NHL. Point i'm trying to hammer home with you is WE JUST DON"T KNOW!!! and that is why he's not worth a 1st overall pick.

Thread: Eichel for Lafreniere

Rangers decline. The uncertainty around Eichel Neck injury drops his trade value.. I'm sorry but thats facts and Eichel is NOT going to fetch you what a healthy Eichel would. You making trades as if Eichel is 100% healthy.

Thread: Eichel for Lafreniere

hard pass. they're not getting blue chip prospect. I'd be surprised if even Kravstov is offered. 10M is too much money.

Perhaps Chytil, Schneider and the 1st for Cirelli.

Kravtsov with the 2nd for Palat.

Could go either way with the 3rd.

Thread: Solving Our 2C and Grit Issues

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>LafreNYR</b></div><div>Monahan isn’t even an upgrade over Strome, and if I’m gonna break up the chemistry between Bread and Strome I need a clear upgrade</div></div>

I definitely can see the chemistry argument and Monahan has had two down years. However, he is one year younger and has consistently put up much better point totals over his career in comparison to Strome. I just think that offensively he would thrive more with Panarin than Strome has, but that's just my opinion lol.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>LafreNYR</b></div><div>This deal is mutually beneficial, TB clears some cap concerns while adding 3 high potential young players and draft capital and NYR address their issue at C and add a vet winger to help try to make the jump into being a playoff team under Gallant this year.</div></div>

Exactly it does help both teams In a sense ! Just again it would be a last resort kinda move for TB but the return they get is definitely a fascinating one

Thread: Cirelli

Very fair deal on Cirelli I think it’s something to be looked at if they can’t clear cap so I can’t say it won’t happen but if someone doesn’t take on 2 of the following Johnson Palat Killorn Gourde then ya Cirelli will maybe be looked at

They’ve done nothing to warrant paying them more than that. They’re RFA’s with no leverage. Only option is to go home. That’d be up to them. I’ve got no problem paying them big money, but earn it.

Even if we got hit with an overage penalty the following year, it’s not a big deal. Not everyone is getting resigned. And the young guys haven’t performed for a big pay day, so bridge contracts will be the key.

No we don’t. An overage penalty is insignificant. And none of those guys are gonna be that great next year, that’s beyond wishful thinking.

The following year has $27 mil in cap space. Strome is gone. Kakko and Kravtsov have done nothing and on 3 year bridge deals will get less than $6 mil combined.

I doubt Nils and Miller do so. Nils isn’t a shoe in to make the team. Miller hasn’t shown much offense yet. Fox will almost be guaranteed to get them. Laf and Kakko are a complete toss up to me.

Given what we’ve seen, unlikely. I’m not gonna be optimistic till they give me a reason to. And they haven’t played well enough to make me think otherwise. Shesty won’t have bonuses on his next contract.
