Thread: Is Pietrangelo Possible
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Riley816</b></div><div>If he wants to squeeze the last dollar out of a team trading for his rights won't matter. He'll go to free agency and get every penny he can. Whether it be from Toronto Vegas or another team.

When does Toronto stop bidding against itself if they trade for his rights?? Tavares 'took a discount' to come to the Leafs when the cap was lower. If they offer 8.5x7 does he counter with 11.5x7, all but minimum as signing bonus, all signing bonus in the 1st 4 years, full NMC, etc. Toronto has to do it because they traded for his rights??</div></div>

You're missing the point. If you want petro and you wait for FA, you run the risk of losing him. If you're serious about acquiring him then trade something of value to the blues with the contract in place

Thread: Maple Leafs sign Nylander
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Lenny7</b></div><div>Counter point to "If Nylander is loyal and wants to keep playing with Matthews (he should take a discount)" would be "If the Leafs are loyal and want Nylander to keep playing with Matthews they'd offer him fair market value".</div></div>

What is fair market value. I think everyone uses the recent Pasternik, Larkin, Ehlers contracts as the market. Which is fair because he is a somewhat comparable player points wise. They all signed when the cap was lower so he should make a little more based on that. Someone before pointed out that when Ehlers signed his deal it was 8% of the cap and then they did the math to show what that would mean for Nylander. I think that's a fair way to do it. Maybe use Pasternik's contract instead?

Thread: Would be nice but won't happen
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Davisoc</b></div><div>THANK YOU! I will never understand this obsession with Tanev, the league has several players like him that preform better and are less injury prone.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Laynious</b></div><div>No, No, No.

Maybe I missed the meeting where they handed out the "Tanev Kool-Aid". WHY oh WHY are people so crazed about this guy??? I have seen him play many, many times......Hes a dependable D man (when he isn't injured, which is a lot) so I'll give you that. But you are willing to give up 2 firsts and 2 NHL players for him?? This is crazy.</div></div>

I think everyone knows my stance on our D and my unwillingness to chase after a stud Dman. I like what we have at home.

If we are having issues.. could be performance, could be injuries. I think Tanev would be the right type of D to go after. I don’t want any offensive D at all. Ability to move the puck and a sound Dzone guy. Vancouver is in the right situation to retain 50%. If we do not need him next season he would be an easy move at 2.2m. I could see this being more of a deadline type of move or even mid season. I think if we need to go after someone they have to be able to retain salary and be easily moved. I think Tanev meets all those requirements. Only had 8 teams on his m-ntc.

But to reconfirm what I already stated I have no reason to believe that our D core won’t be solid this year.

Please stop trading away our team for guys that will never get moved or guys that are horrible in their own end.

Thread: How the deal for EK might look like if it happens? Thoughts?
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Laynious</b></div><div>You most definitely don't get, arguably, one of the top 3 D in the world for that......you just don't.

Must haves:

One of Horvat, Boeser

One or 2 of Demko, Dipietro, Petterson, Virtanen, Juolevi

at minimum a 1st and 2nd with no conditions.

Sorry guys, thats the price</div></div>


Your not getting pettersson Boeser Horvat Hughes Demko or our 2019 first. Jim wouldn't trade any of those as stripping those away further push back our rebuild.

Its not smart to get a 28 yo player when a teams rebuilding. Benning is just doing his due diligence by contacting ottawa. Nothing more.

If canucks really wanted him, and let's say canucks got Jack Hughes in next year's draft that with Boeser Horvat Pettersson Dahlen Hughes Demko Juolevi Lind would probably allow canucks to sign Karlsson in UFA. But we'll see what happens.

Only smart move is maybe going after him in UFA otherwise I hope the canucks stay away. Cuz they shouldn't trade their first cuz guaranteed they'll be a bottom 10 team and without the first a trade doesn't seem realistic.
