Thread: building a complete roster
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Garak</b></div><div>I am not sure why your response about this is to me because I mostly agree with you, but I could probably come up with a few reasons why they might do that. haha

Maybe they have prospects and/or players ahead of them on the depth chart that they like more, making that player expendable for the right package. Maybe they want futures or a player that plays a different position. Maybe they take that future 2nd and package it for something else that will have a more immediate impact. You don't want to let players sit in developmental leagues for too long or you risk them losing all value entirely. Maybe their long term plans allow them to be flexible and continuously move pieces to either make a profit or break even and push picks and prospects further down the road when they will need them more than they do right now. Maybe they already have a player they like that plays a similar style and they want to swap an offensive guy for a defensive guy, or the other way around, or a tough guy for a motor guy, or a power forward for a skill guy, or a defenseman for a forward, or a redundant player for a pick, etc.

All I know is that the CHI trade probably isn't interesting to CHI. They would probably rather get a pick(s) or a player that isn't a redundancy in return for Dickinson. Someone that fits their vision and the timeline of the rebuild, or something like that.</div></div>

Good points

Thread: building a complete roster
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Billy316</b></div><div>What i said was if Soderbloom was involved i wouldnt care what the return was .
In my era sentences meant what they stated and were not open to such a wide interpretation like today.

Sure i pointed out both players flaws because if you dont on here fans go for trades that are ridiculous when you basically say Blank Check .
But the Closing statement was clear as day "I dont care what the return is in the end if Soderbloom is there"


DET could have gotten a depth piece depending on the ask and picks or a Conditional 2nd that becomes 1st and a lesser prospect or pick .
Maybe even a 1st + a decent prospect if DET had more then Soderbloom on their side.
I pretty much just gave the rope for DET fans to go wild and their response was "i cant read"</div></div>

My bad. I am not a native English speaker so I don't understand everything 100% :tearsofjoy

Thread: building a complete roster
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Billy316</b></div><div>Add that Giant Soderbloom who's 6'8 and MTL would see value in as a longshot if nothing else he'll be over big time in Laval .
He's only got 59 days of Waiver Exempt Status left anyways and you got him in the AHL anyways

We can always get more for Dvorak RS and with 2 years left we're at a point where RS is already as we're running out of players we need to sell off and RS for others gets us a 4th at best short term.
Two late picks seems more like what we'd get for Edmundson before the season due to his 3 straight years of starting the season on LTIR then getting more solid as they year grinds on.

But you add Soderbloom in there and im so distracted by the payoffs i dont even pay attention to the risks.
DET doesnt lose anything as Soderbloom like Crouse will take years of playing him at the NHL for him to adapt and become the player he's projected to be.
With Rasmussen there already they already have one guy they're doing that with taking up 1/12 spots , MTL is at a point where he'd be ideal for our 3rd line with Evans and Gally.

I dont care what the return is in the end if Soderbloom is there (assuming there's no RS)</div></div>

Wings are not trading Söderblom for a Cap dump. Wings could just re-sign Pius Suter who plays very similarly than Dvorak.

If Söderblom takes longer to develop, what then? He's 6'8, but skilled, you shouldn't trade a guy like that for nothing.

Thread: Trading Up
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>brady_t12</b></div><div>I wouldn’t want to give up more than this years second (aka pick 40ish) and maybe another mid pick. Let’s assume arizona gets 4th overall. You’re taking whoever is left between Carlsson, Michkov, and Fantilli. Really you’re getting Michkov, who is a stud, but the KHL stuff and his contract makes him a non-factor until 2026. Better off to just make the pick at 8. Pray we win the lottery. Draft Dvorsky at 8.</div></div>

I’ve never understood why Michkov’s KHL contract is such a big thing. Does it really matter if Michkov stays in Russia if you are getting a potential superstar? He isn’t ready yet, but when he comes over he could make an immediate impact. It usually take 2-5 years for a prospect anyway.

Thread: Setting up a move for the future
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>AZWings</b></div><div>I like Crouse, but he's still just a .5 PPG player. And being on pace for 30 doesn't mean he's going to hit it.

The question is more around what does Army do with both Crouse and Keller? Both very good players now but what are they going to be in 5 years when the Coyotes hope to actually be good? Chychrun is also only 24 and he's obviously not part of the future so what of the 2 higher end forwards? Does Army rebuild around 19 year olds Guenther and Geekie and they're the future rather than Crouse and Keller?</div></div>

Reason why I think Chychrun, Vejmelka and Crouse are not traded is because Arizona wants to see if they can win the draft lottery. Bedard should accelerate that rebuild a lot.
