Thread: Pietrangelo First choice is Vegas
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>OlegP</b></div><div>You decided to ignore the rest of my post, oddly enough</div></div>

Can respond to that also, with a short version....thats what you get when you try to lowball the Player, went into explanation in some other thread here ( post # 15 ): <a href="https://www.capfriendly.com/forums/thread/367726">https://www.capfriendly.com/forums/thread/367726</a>

Its funny how the next stage of butthurting is already on, all STL homers that were explaining how he is the best and he will never leave cause he said he wants to stay and cause hes married to the local babe...and now all at the sudden they are yelling : have fun watching him decline in three years ( i guess next stage is publicly burning his jerseys down....you know )

Or check this one : <a href="https://www.capfriendly.com/forums/thread/371080">https://www.capfriendly.com/forums/thread/371080</a>

Not to mention the ones where they are after 15OA for his rights......

Thread: Dubas Screws Lou Over
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Isles777</b></div><div>You talk about offersheets like you’re the one handing them out. I’m sure guerin is going to offersheet his mentors best player!
Pulock grew up an islanders fan and he’s close with trotz. Unless the leafs overpay him (8+ mill) he’s not signing an offersheet</div></div>

If i only remeber last offseason where 3 NYI butthurters from this site were spamming 5+ simulations each per day about how Lou will OS Marner....one even came out with footage of Martin's pre-wedding party, where criptical was reviewed how OS will actually happen......not funny anymore this year right ?

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GMRyan</b></div><div> Dubas Screws Lou Over </div></div>

Is there info about which Teams were doing Marner OS last year ? i know CBJ was one ......

Thread: Is Pietrangelo Possible
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>KingLundqvist30</b></div><div>Is Pietrangelo possible? Yes.
Would it be dumb for the Leafs to sign him? Yes.
Would they have to sacrifice depth to sign him? Yes.

It just never made sense to me on why the leafs would sign him. Yes he’s good, but he’s going to want $9,000,000+. You sign him and that’s $42,000,000 in 4 players (AM, MM, JT, and AP respectively).</div></div>

Losing depth can be fixed thru FA where you run 3rd Line with 2,4M players ( like Janmark + Larsson + Fast = 6,5M instead Johnsson - Kerfoot - Kapanen = 10M ) and 4th Line with Simmonds - Koivu - Spezza type of structure.

Actually thing is.....TML Stanley window is from 2019/2020 to 2022/2023 when Tavares will start to decline proly. So as much as i was in doubts about Pietrangelo to be signed, im assuming Dubarellis plan is that exactly, so his way of ALL IN and it could actually pay off. Lets worry about small things later, when 1967 will finally be erased from TML collective mind.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>KingLundqvist30</b></div><div>Honestly (unpopular opinion here I know), but if Sandin develops as advertised, you guys shouldn’t resign Rielly.</div></div>

Pretty much on spot

Muzzin - Liljegren
Sandin - Pietrangelo

Thread: Getting even younger
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ChiHawk</b></div><div>Nope, it's not an additional roster player and again, go back when the trade happened and the % of cap he costs versus 500k today and the % of cap; it's negligible. Easily an extra year on a deal is way more important.

Yeah, Hawks easily decline the 2021 1st and Johnsson; again, Johnsson being negative value and a cap dump as far as the Hawks are concerned. You want Murphy, we have zero reason to trade him unless it's a 1st plus a prospect or 2nd or 3rd rounder and even then, I just don't see the Hawks moving Murphy for picks. Again, this website WAY overrates picks. Always take the NHL player if he is young enough to have more upside and is a solid player over a change in the draft to even get a NHL player.</div></div>

look, you want 15OA, it wont happen...lets just wrap this and move along then....no need to play same note on that fiddle again and again....

Thread: Getting even younger
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ChiHawk</b></div><div>It's not knit-picking, another year on a deal makes a big difference offering twice the value versus a 1 year. Your come back is a difference of $50K against the cap? Okay well the cap went up the year after so actually Montour at the time was a bit more expensive when considered % of total cap. Come on dude, be better then this, you'd be blind to not understand an extra year is huge in trade value versus 1 year.

And NO, we want nothing to do with Johnsson. He'd have a hard time making our top 9 and at $3.4M, coming off a bad injury, and only on pace for 15 goals prior to the injury he is nothing but negative value to the Hawks.</div></div>

Its 500k which is bit more right ? Almost and additional player on roster or actually it can be considered 1y Term on lower contracts below 5M......Again, rental vs 2 years noone is dening the difference, its just it should be 2021 1st ( so the "conditional one" ) and not the defined one of 2020 as 15 OA.

I understand you dont want to have nothing with Johnsson, i was trying to show what kind of return it should be, so 3rd liner who can net 30 points even if not leetching on Matthews ( which is better asset then Guhle in Montours trade )

Thread: Getting even younger
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>RamonDaze</b></div><div>Anaheim did trade Montour for a conditional 2019 pick (it did turn out to be a late first) + a prospect at the TDL with only 1 full season of term remaining at 3.375M. Years remaining under contract matters in trades. Granted not as much as talent but term/cap hit is a factor. As far as Guhle, 51st overall in 2015, was age 21 at the time of the trade...he might be offended at B prospect but based on games played he's a bottom pair D at best? Some D do take longer to develop.</div></div>

Aware of Montour being a rental but then again...what about 3,38M against 3,85M if we go knit-picking.....as i said before....Murphy is 2021 1st + Malgin-kind of return, in no case 15OA and 2021 2nd....that was my point.

Actualy my offer in one of un-published simulations was 2021 1st + Johnsson

Thread: 2018-19 CONTRACTS If I Was GM
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>KakkoForMauriceRichardAward</b></div><div>-the AM AAV is nice, it's the term that's awful. 11,6 mil per for 8 years would be 100% fine.
-the MM AAv isn't terrible (10 mil would be better tho), but again the term is bad, 8 years would be better</div></div>

completely on the spot

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>KakkoForMauriceRichardAward</b></div><div>-no need for signing JT, just keep Kadri and try to get Bozak to sign a hometown discount deal, like 2 years at 5 mil per or 3 years at 4 mil per.</div></div>

wrong

if franchise player is prepared to play in your Team for 2M less then he was offered elsewhere, you take it, but after you sign Matthews and Marner for the money you pointed instead overpaying them by 1,5M ( or 2 years in Term )

Thread: Leafs Sign Petro Keep Big 4
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>peterhopkins1634</b></div><div>i think Holl has shown that he can play well with Muzzin, as a legit shutdown pair. dermott hasn't proven that.. i like derms, and if he signs QO, i'd like to have a 3 man rotation of Sandin, Derms, Lehtonen for 3rd pairing.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>RC_82</b></div><div>I don't think Dermott should be coming back. I honestly think Holl played his way onto the roster as a bottom pairing through bubble play. I think Dermott gets booted unless he signs a bridge for pennies</div></div>

Holl is product of Muzzin and im really sorry 95% of TML fanbase cant see that. Hes 28y and he didnt just drink Red Bull last Season and turned into what most of you see as middle Pair Dman cause his "over-night wonder" completely coincide with him being Paired with Muzzin. That tandem works mostly cause Muzzin is busting his ass out at his 30y and makes Holl look like hes NHLer with 65% of job in that tandem being done by Muzzin. Last few Games against CBJ when Muzzin went down should make you people started to see what i am talking about. Holl is No6 D at most and his 2M are to much for that position + Sandin and Lehtonen being able to play D for 925k makes him the weakest man out.
