Thread: Not a New Jersey fan but what do you think
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>LawJeffreyL</b></div><div>If the team acquires another top 6 guy, Zacha could be Centered between Boqvist and Bastian (potentially) which would be a great "3rd scoring line," in my eyes.
Zajac centering Coleman and Wood would be the checking line that could do wonders shutting down top lines, as well. Zacha is a very reliable defensive player who can chip in offensively. Zajac isn't getting any younger. The long term plan, hopefully, is for Zacha to slot in to that defensive center role in the future.
That being said, if Zacha is to slide to the wing, I think he'd be best suited 2LW with Hughes and Palmieri, moving Bratt to the 1RW role. Coleman has thrived on the wing, so if Zacha is playing LW, McLeod would likely jump up to the 4C role.

Sorry if that was a bit more information than you asked for</div></div>

no its all good. I wanted to learn more about the structure of their roster

Thread: E. Karlsson trade to Carolina
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>LawJeffreyL</b></div><div>What I am saying is, pending UFA or not, the player's value is traded for as though he were already signing an extension that is often discussed in the talks prior to the trade. The market for a player like Karlsson is still significant, because it operates under the assumption that the groundwork for an extension has been discussed and factored in between Karlsson and the GM trading for him.

In this specific trade scenario, I can just about guarantee that Justin Faulk is never removing Ottawa from his list of teams he is declining a trade to (15 team list, no chance he approves a trade to Ottawa). Even if he did permit that trade, this return needs to add at minimum a high end prospect and a 1st round pick (because, as I mentioned, for Carolina to even attempt this trade, it is safe to assume they have already spoken to Karlsson about that extension).

Karlsson's value, although maybe not 4 firsts, is still significantly higher than this trade offer, unless it comes with Bobby Ryan's contract as an anchor.</div></div>

All points well taken, and well expressed.
