Hypothetically, if it wasn't in the same division, would you make this deal?

Thread: All Canes drafted team

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Rooney</b></div><div>First drafted by Carolina in 2010, elected not to sign with them and re-entered the 2012 draft where Anaheim selected him. Definitely won't fault you for not know that one haha.</div></div>

As a Ducks fan, I'm surprised I didn't know that. What a fun Wednesday fact! Probably had a lot to do with the obscure list of goalies that the Ducks rolled out post-Jiggy, and pre-Gibby...Hiller, McElhinney, Emery, Dan Ellis, Drouin-DesLaurier, VIKTOR FASTH...crazy. It's mind blowing that they actually made the playoffs in 2 of those 4 seasons...

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>tormundgiantsbane</b></div><div>Dougie is obviously a great d-man but I can't believe they gave up both Hanifin and Lindholm for him</div></div>

Lindholm hadn't broken out...there were some signs that he was probably decent, but at that point he was 5 seasons in, and hadn't made it past 45 points. He was obviously still very young, but he was consistently just average during his time in Carolina. I'm still shocked that he debuted in his draft year.

Might be worth playing Norris in a hybrid-C/wing type role, where he shares duties with someone that is reasonably reliable defensively (Tierney or Brown), and see how he roles with that.

Agreed. Surely Doug Wilson has learned from his last bust-blockbuster about giving up 1st round picks when you've got some serious question marks on your team already.

Thread: Tankathon

Just play Zaitsev for 30 minutes a game and you should have no problem tanking :tearsofjoy

In all seriousness though, good showing from Dorion this offseason. The Murray contract is terrifying, and I don't think you're deep enough up the middle with who you've got (Until Stutzle shows up), but a very, very solid foundation has been laid.

Thread: Bringing in Laine

Not that Dumba isn't an upgrade, but Winnipeg is probably set on the right side with Pionk, DeMelo and Poolman, all of whom had good years last year. I'd assume that their reported asking price of a 2C+top 4 D includes a LD, but I could be wrong.

Forum: Armchair-GM17 hours ago

Thread: We Got Better

You absolutely did. I'd be concerned about the goaltending, and the fact that 4/6th of your starting D are offensive minded d-men. Should be reasonably competitive for the year though, and if you're out of it at the deadline, you should be able to sell Hall for a good haul.

Thread: One more move

Ho-Sang passed through waivers unclaimed last year. No way that he's worth a 3rd at this point. You might be able to do a contract swap, but there's seemingly little to no interest in him.

Thread: Changing it Up

I can't see Tampa doing this if all they're saving is $1.3 mil for 1 season, and then tying up $2.5 through the rest of Johnson's contract. It would have been cheaper just to buy him out.

0.9 point per game player, who's played on some pretty trash teams. Also has been very good analytically throughout his career. Not sure what everyone's definition of "elite" is, but IMO he's right there, and any team would be lucky to have a player like him.

Thread: One overrated player per team

I mean, a case could be made for 75% of these guys that they're not actually overrated, but that seems a bit time consuming...

Instead, I love how you ripped apart 27 guys, and when you got to the Rangers, you were like "Meh, Kreider and ADA *might* be overrated in a couple of years, but we gooooood"

Thread: Reino at center

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Bruinsforlife</b></div><div>By looking at this lineup, I feel every game they will play will have more than 7 goals per game for sure, huge offense with offensive defensive and bad goalie, it will be cool looking at 7-5 score most of the time</div></div>

Yeah, it'll be interesting to see how they end up aligning the team defensively. I don't really like Hutton, and feel like he was the beneficiary of a solid d-core in St. Louis before Buffalo signed him. Apparently a lot of his issues over the past couple of years were with his eyes (Which are apparently fixed), but I still wouldn't feel comfortable if this was my goalie tandem.

Thread: Zees Last Hurrah

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Shane_Kelly</b></div><div>there's literally no need to trade ritche. He can easily come back next year and play fairly well. If not bury him in the minors and save 1.2 mil. Also having John Moore can't hurt thus year. Ya he is over payed, but he is still a number 6 nhl defensemen. Bruins left side is weak, moore can step up and play 13-15 mins a night</div></div>

Agreed. Think it's usually a case of "Welp, this good player is available, so let's dump depth guys to a team that doesn't need them and then sign the good player!"

Moore is fine. He can play up and down as needed, and may increase his value with more minutes this year. Given that the B's will likely be without Pasta and Marchand for the first month or two of the season, they're going to need guys like Ritchie that can fill holes throughout the lineup.

Thread: Doogie Svech raises

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>cwoods1297</b></div><div>In 3 years the cap should raise. I can't see anyone getting long term deals right now. Svech will get a bridge deal as well as Dougie. </div></div>

When you're a mid tier player, sure, I think teams will sit back and wait out the market to offer short term deals (see: Hoffman, Hall, etc., though I wouldn't necessarily say Hall is mid-tier, but is instead banking on a bounce back season). As for the other tier? Just look at guys like Pietrangelo and Krug.

Sure, Svech may get a bridge deal, but Dougie is a UFA after this year...you don't bridge UFA's. He'll be on the open market if he doesn't get a long term deal from Carolina.

Agreed. Think it's probably a mid-1st regardless of the extension, but I see no reason why Nashville couldn't work one out with him.

Now...to find a coach that won't suffocate him like they've done with RyJo, Duchene, Turris, etc...
