Thread: Sens get younger
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Claebom</b></div><div>That's not nearly enough for Karlsson.

You've built a deal that, if he signs an extension, gives the Sens: Carlo (who is ******* great, that makes this look really nice to start), a 1st, and two questionable prospects who didn't have amazing first seasons in the AHL and never projected to be very good anyways. Just about anybody in the league can offer a better package. Now, if it were to include, let's say, Donato or Heinen it would start to approach a more realistic price point.</div></div>

Agreed, especially if youre not taking back Ryan contract, the price will be much higher and the pieces need to be much much better.

if im SEN and im look at BOS, Im gunna want Heinen, BJork, Carlo, and 1st. No conditionals, if he doesnt resign with the team, he doesnt resign with the team. thats not my problem at that point. youre not gunna pay less just cause you want him as a rental or let him walk in free agency. but if there needs to be condiotnals in the trade, ill add a conditional 1st. if he resigns i get another 1st from BOS.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Stan_Bowman</b></div><div>You know MTL is going to be told to F off for that price.</div></div>

I think the census around the league is that Stan is kinda in the position he has never been in before. Where he kinda does have to make a move to keep his job, or at least these other GM's think so. So they think they can get him to overpay for the "teams needs" because the mounting pressure by not just the organization but the fans too.

I think thats why we keep seeing/hearing him basically say nothing when interviewed. "we might make a trade, we might not" "im confident in this current roster, we have excitement in the room with these current players and we think we can have a very good bounce back year" while everyone around him and the fans are probably like "dude, WTF are you talking about?!" hes probably trying to make it seem like he doesnt need anything, and wont be pressured into overpaying for something because the league thinks at the end of the day he will crack to make a move because hes in the hot seat.

if thats true is a crap ton of cloak and dagger under the table type of play.

Bergivan has been pretty bad for years, looks like he isnt going anywhere. and CAR looks like they finally got a good team on paper since the 06 team. So i dont think they will take anything less than the asking price. or they just wont make the moves.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>exo2769</b></div><div>100% agreed. Every team is looking at the Duchene deal saying...MTL needs to get this, but no one realizes how HORRIBLE of a trade that was.</div></div>

For real, I've always been like "why won't these big deals happen with 1st rounders happen in the offseason, or early in the season...." now we all know why lol.

if the Hawks do make any more moves with the cap space, I've been reading some of the hawks beat writers say like just go back to get like more cheapish depth scoring. like guys that could work up and down the line up since Q loves to juggle everything, even if things are going well... some of the players they mentioned were: Versteeg (Bowman loves his old hawks), Cammalleri, Letestu, and then obviously if Rick Nash decides later he still wants to keep playing go after him. But I don't really see anymore trading. Or at least nothing that would make a wow factor to show the team is significantly better.

Hawks are on the downhill, I don't see cup runs in their future, especially now that the Central is way more stacked than ever.

Thread: Adding to the D
i dont see how those two trades help the hawks this coming season and in the future after seabrook and keith. the d thats gunna be the future after seabrook and keith are already in our system boquist, beaudin, Jokiharju, mitchell, hillman, etc.... i dont see the reason to trade one of those guys in Mitchell to get basically one of those young type of players back that youd have to pay sooner. when keith and seabs arnt going anywhere for another 5/6 years.

and look at the stats for forsling vs fleury and demelo vs rutta. both hawks players have same points for more points in less games with far more significant ice times. that kinda shows that those players are a little bit moreso ready for the nhl now. not taking on additional d prospects to an already overflowing hawks defensive prospect pool. i get that they have a "higher potential ceiling" but again, we have plenty of that already in the system.

Thread: Ideal Development
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>graderman</b></div><div>Too bad they can’t persuade Seabrook to retire as a player and get rid of his cap hit, then hire him in another position and somehow make it enticing enough for Seabrook to accept. You are so right, Sean.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JackBurton</b></div><div>I'm a little fuzzy how this applies to contracts that are not considered "recapture penalty" contracts, but wouldn't they be on the hook for every remaining year of his cap hit if he did retire? He'd have to go on LTIR to really no longer be a factor, but Seabs is a man with a lot of pride, I don't see that happening unless he's honestly broken.</div></div>

his contract is just like Tavares: "buyout proof" and "Retire Proof". the only thing thats kind of saving it is the last two years of his contract is a M-NTC 5 teams then 10 team trade lists. but at that point with his age, cap hit, and probably production.... thats gunna be a hard move.
