Thread: Trading up at draft
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Alfie11</b></div><div>The highest you might be able to get is #7 from the Sharks if they make the wrong decision regarding their future and decide they’re still competitive. That would cost you a guy like Konecny though, maybe even more. Top 10 picks are weighted extremely heavily, once the pick is locked in at a certain spot it has more value than “a 1st.” Looking at #7 you can see guys like Clarke, Wallstedt, Johnson, Eklund maybe being available (top pair D, elite starter, first line forwards) and guys like that generally bust less often. A good prospect and a mid-1st isn’t gonna jump you close to the top 5.</div></div>

If I remember correctly, there is a significant drop off after 7-8. So I see your point in that 13 is worth a lot less than 5-7.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>DH28Hockey</b></div><div>JVR is scoring at over a 100 point pace right now. Even if that isn't sustainable, Seattle wont take German Rubstov who will probably never be an NHL player over him and Philly won't have to pay for them to want to take JVR</div></div>

If JVR keeps playing the way he's been playing, I don't think the Flyers would have to entice Seattle at all. But, we all know how streaky he is. I suspect that continues this year, and the Flyers may have to sweeten the deal. However, I think the only other realistic option for Seattle is Ghost or NAK, and as much as I like both of those guys, I think they are replaceable. Unless Ghost gets back to 2016 form.

Totally agree with you on Rubtsov, I think his shot is done. And I don't see Seattle wasting their pick on him.

Thread: Tampa is going to lose someone for cheap No way around it
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Hammerwise</b></div><div>Ive posted similar a few times, adding a couple of mid level prospects, like Isaac Ratcliffe and LD Linus Hogberg.

Although I wouldn't put Johnson in minors, the Flyers need some speed, so I'd put Johnson at 3C, Patrick at 4C, and Frost needs key offensive time, so I put him at 1RW, moving voracek to 3RW and farabee to 3LW, JVR to 4LW.

Once Cernak signs he'll be in the Laughton neighbourhood, so taking Johnson is saving them 5mil in cap, but they still need to move a killorn or gourde (5mil or so).
Does Philly want Johnson at 5mil for 4 years? Probably not, but they need speed and that's the price for a 23 yr old RD in Cernak.

Im a fan of this deal and think that Johnson might waive his NTC to go to a contender, rather than a rebuilding club. And while TB shouldn't be looking to move a cheapish, young RD they'll have to make some moves soon with less than a month until the season starts. And they're not plumb with tons of prospects and teams don't want picks if theyre in a win now as enticements to take salaries and the players they want to move have NTC, which means they probably wont want a rebuilding club. (TB is presently 2mil over cap without cirelli and cernak signed).</div></div>

Yeah, I have the Flyers buying him out, only because of flat cap issues. But I agree that he is still a serviceable player, maybe they take that route after a year or so. If that's the case, they are going to have to shed more cap. Not sure how they would go about doing that. What do you think?

Thread: Opening Night w Patrick
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>wolsen92</b></div><div>The return of Ghost is always varied among ACGM, I do think there is a reason he hasnt been traded yet. Either Chuck is selling High or no one wants him. I think in a world without flat cap, he goes but this makes it 20 times tougher. I think a team that would want to take a flyer on him to see if he just needs a change on Scenery would work. I was going to say VAN but they got schmidt. He will play and if he exceeds expectations and returns to the ghost we know maybe we trade EG, Highly unlikely but the Flyers have a lot flexibility with this,</div></div>

Totally agree. So many teams are cash strapped with the flat cap and are not willing to take the chance imo. I do not envy Chuck or any other GM for that matter lol. Maybe the Ghost trade will happen during the 2021 season if a team loses a LD to LTIR. If that's the case, maybe Chuck will be able to get a decent return.
