Thread: Strategic Deadline
-It's an interesting idea, but I think that the Rangers pass. But they don't hang up the phone, if that makes sense. I just think that Drury is pot committed on Kakko and isn't going to move him in a deal for a pair of guys who might be gone come July 1st, even if it clears most of Goodrow off the books going forward.

-I don't see the sense for the WIld. Barring a huge run, they're out of the playoff hunt, so a rental like Brodie holds minimal value for them. If they're moving Maroon I feel like they do it for futures.

-I mean, the value seems fair, but why does Chicago do this? Unless they really feel like there's something they can unlock in Timmins, it doesn't make much sense to me.

-Simple pass for Vancouver. They paid a 3rd and a 5th for Zadorov 2 months ago - why would they send him out for less at this point when he's been perfectly cromulent for them since they brough him in?

Thread: EA Sports Trade
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Lightman13</b></div><div>I’d love to see zebras in wild green but honestly I don’t see them as great trade partnere. The wild do have a lot of centers coming up the pipe line, especially if they think yurov would be a viable center. That being the case - marat, yurov, ek and rossi is a pretty sweet young stable of high talent centers. I think they would more likely be on the look for a high end wing or a top pair defender.than a puck wizard which is what they expected from granlund.</div></div>

Yeah I would think a top 4 D is definitely the priority. You have Faber and then a bunch of question marks for anyone under 22. Assuming they don't win the lotto, I think they'll use their 1st this year on BPA that's a Dman.

this was just for fun during the 2nd intermission of that US game.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>littlejerryseinfeld</b></div><div>Tuch was essentially mittelstadt at the time of the trade

Also, are you suggesting ek = eichel?

Woof

I also never said the trade proposed was good. Just that yours is worse. So congrats?</div></div>

So if Tuch was essentially Middlestedt and Krebs was essentially a 1st round pick still, the trades were about the same. I didn't actually say Ek was Eichel, I was pushing back on your debunked claim that the suggested return Minnesota would want was more than any player had received in the past 30 years. I am also saying 100% Eichel had the stain on him at the time of not knowing what Vegas was actually getting due to his injury. You know what you're getting in JEEK.

Currently however? They're not <a href="https://www.capfriendly.com/forums/thread/786825?post_id=4584063">far off</a> in contract value and getting $8.9m in value out of a $5.25m cap hit player is a pretty sweet deal compared to $10.1m value on a $10m cap hit. Eichel puts up more points, JEEK has been a top 10 Selke nominee the last few seasons so they're just different types of players.

You still can't name another player with 5 years left that's been traded can you? Keep shifting the goalpost all you want, you could at least admit you don't know of one so we can both agree the likelihood the Wild would even consider moving JEEK is slim to none and it would take a stupid overpayment to get them to consider. The trade we're talking about is a stupid overpayment btw. Buffalo would need to be pretty dumb to do it, just like I honestly thought Vegas was insane to give up what they did for Eichel given his health but hey that seemed to work out for them so what do I know.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>littlejerryseinfeld</b></div><div>I don't think the trade proposed is reasonable at all.

But it's more reasonable that what you proposed, which is really saying something.

And no, this is quite a bit more than the eichel trade. Especially at the time of the trade.</div></div>

Uhh.. how is this quite a bit more?

Mittlestadt (pending RFA) + 2 1sts + 2nd for a sure thing top 6 center with cost certainty over the next 5 years
Tuch (signed long term on a great contract) + Krebs (recent 1st round pick still young enough to not be considered a bust) + 2022 1st and 2023 2nd for a player that there was literally a chance he never played a single game for the Golden Knights if his surgery went bad.

Those are right about the same offer, with much more certainty on actually getting production out of the player you're receiving. We can argue about the value of Tuch vs. Mittlestadt or Krebs vs. a 1st we have no idea where it will land, but they're pretty close in value.

I'm glad you're at least admitting there isn't another case of a player with 5 years left getting traded in a similar situation. You're proving my point for me.
