Thread: Habs
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Campabee</b></div><div>At 2.75 mil for a top 6 forward you are damn straight I would trade a 2nd for that, especially if I was in the playoff hunt at the trade deadline. So we agree on Dadonov's value, why add the extra year of Kapanen for free when he isn't an upgrade? Armia is a good player to have and the term is only 1 year longer, also that only saves 1 mil in salary over the term of their contracts. I say Keep Armia if there are no bites for just picks at the TDL. The only reason there is flack on getting a 1st for Monahan is cause 1. Other fans of rebuilding teams are jealous they did not get him and a 1st or 2. Half the responders are known Habs trolls or 3. They are fans of the other team giving up the 1st and like most fans value the idea of what a pick <strong>could</strong> be and doesn't think about how Monahan would make their team better for their cup run. We saw the same thing last TDL where there were multiple fans saying Montreal would never get more than a 3rd for Lehkonen, would be lucky to unload Chairot without including a 1st of their own or that Taffoli wouldn't get more than 2 2nds. Each of those players all returned a 1st without retention, Monahan is better than them and only Lehkonen is close to his skill level. Imagine if Toffoli got a 1st + 2nd + 5th (valuewise) without retention what could he have returned with retention? Monahan is better, younger and cheaper than Toffoli, the only reason we got a 1st is cause the Flames <strong>had</strong> to move Monahan to sign Tkachuk, if not we would have had to pay a 1st + to get him. The Habs are in a totally different situation though, they don't have to move Monahan and can retain on him to get better value.</div></div>

Bro Drouin is not a top 6 forward, Im a die hard habs fan bro he brings nothing on the ice! For Monahan the time will tell, maybe we could fetch a late 1st for him, if he is consitent and can stay healthy. If im a contending team, i wouldnt spend a 6th rounder for drouin even half retained, the way he is playing right now is not helping to increase his value! No team would waste 2,75 mil for drouin on their roster.

Thread: Sundqvist Lindstrom
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Billy12Bob</b></div><div>For Detroit it's high. We have no replacement for him and no prospect in the pipeline that can be relied on to take his place. As a cost controlled defensive defender that we're in short supply of the offer would have to be really high for us to trade him.

Sunny is younger and cheaper and is better suited for the 4th line job that is the one available. I doubt Compher would do that job as well as Sunny does.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Lancebmx</b></div><div>Lindstrom in my opinion should take a first to get. Really good defensive guy who moves the puck quite well. Perfectly suited for a third pairing roll that can step up to second pairing if need be. He was a -12 when the team was a -83, I think that says something. He was drafted in the second round and developed into a NHL player so we would need to at least recoup that cost. Being he is only 23 and still getting better it would take a big overpay to acquire him. Compher isn't really a fit anymore and we like what Sunny brings.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>HockeyIsMyPassion61</b></div><div>Lindstrom is still an RFA, Don't see Yzerman dealing him anytime soon.

Yzerman has said at several of his pressers, That it's every bit his attention to resign Oskar Sundqvist before free agency.</div></div>

Thanks guys, I appreciate the responses. I agree with what you've said. Detroit should hold on to Lindström barring an offer too good to refuse.

Thread: Pageau
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Lancebmx</b></div><div>He's far superior in the faceoff circle and quite a bit better defensively that's why. A third line with JGP and Copp would be very tough to play against in the long term future. That's kind of where my thought process is.</div></div>

I'm not sure I agree about JGP being that much better defensively. Suter has more takeaways than giveaways whereas the opposite is true for JGP. He's a better hitter and shotblocker but faceoffs are to a degree a team stat so I would be careful relying on that.

Neither JGP nor Suter will be a star in this league and with Niederbach and Kasper wanting roster spots in two or three years time, and Veleno wanting a spot right now, I don't really see the point of a trade like this. The gain isn't big enough to warrant it.

Thread: Good Core To Start the Rebuild
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Lancebmx</b></div><div>I really hope I see that top line to start the season. I like how Arizona has brought on bad contracts and such to gain picks, I wish Yzerman would have done that a bit more the last two years.</div></div>

We more than likely won’t see that line till the very end of the season or in full next year. Cooley is going to college this year and will likely be a one and done player, joining the team at the end of the season for whatever games remain. For Guenther, he’s a 50-50 to make the team this year. He’s got all the talent to make the team but Armstrong has made it clear he’s not gonna shy away from overbaking prospects. Putting Guenther in the lackluster lineup next year may not be the best for his development. Wouldn’t be surprised if Guenther gets the 9 game “tryout” next season.

Thread: nylander equals clark trade
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>draft_em_sign_em_trade_em</b></div><div>Obviously you all Cane fans missed reading the title. Have any of you heard of the Wendel Clark and spare parts for Mats Sundin and spare parts with a swap of high round draft picks trade ???

I know Dubas is no Fletcher, but the idea to trade Nylander after his career best season and get the better younger player too.

I thought of Pesce and Necas for Nylander instead but even than you guys wouldn't be happy.

You agree Nylander is at least worth a 6th Rd pick ? Or are gonna dispute that too !</div></div>

Svechnikov is already better though. You would have to find a young player who’s potential isn’t fully realized yet. Necas makes sense but adding peace?? I would trade peace for nylander one for one given that difference In Contracts.

If the leafs do trade nylander (they won’t, but if they do) I think you will be disappointed in the return

Also quick edit: only one of the people you quoted is a Canes fan. Everyone else is a third party fan of a team that is not the canes or the leafs

Thread: No retirements
You're reading the Detroit defense entirely wrong.

Detroit only have three RD in Seider, Hronek, and Lindström with nothing in Grand Rapids or coming in next year. Therefore Lindström cannot be traded without getting a RD back.

On LD the last thing we need is another inexperienced youngster. We have two of those already on the roster right now in Juolevi and Walman and we have six more in Grand Rapids or coming in next year in Edvinsson, Johansson, Viro, Sebrango, Wallinder, and McIsaac. We have absolutely no use for another one. What Detroit needs on LD is veteran help to mentor the kids and tie us over until they mature.

Puljujärvi might be interesting but we're unlikely to trade Zadina for him. Zadina plays both wings equally well and that's an important ability where Detroit now is in its rebuild and it's also too early to give up on him, he's not yet played a full season in the NHL.

I agree but blues also say no as they have enough wingers too I don’t think it makes sense for either side
