<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>vikhodush</b></div><div>Pick is probably a bit high in Canes deal for my liking but an interesting trade nonetheless.</div></div>

Yeah, I could see it working out to be a 3rd or later as well. Figured it was in the ballpark since Nino is a pending UFA and Tyler is still an RFA.

They don't lol. Franzen is on LTIR. Has been since 2014.

Thread: Major but quite simple moves with WPG CAR TOR OTT

So many people don't seem to understand that Franzen every year, is on LTIR, which DOES NOT count against the cap. That trade is pointless.

Thread: Det19

You don't need to buyout Zetterberg. He's on LTIR, his salary doesn't go against the cap. Same with Franzen.

Thread: Cap Space as an Asset

Not a fan of the Trouba deal. Would rather they move Rasmussen. AA is a proven forward now and we are deep down the middle. It's gonna be a little bit before Veleno is playing and even if they go C and not D with 6th overall, that player is still a few years away. I'd rather move Sheahan 2.0 now while he has value.

How about Dustin Wolf in round 2 for Wings? Has great stats and learned from Carter Hart in the WHL, not really sure about his play because I've never seen him, but he could be a possibility for Detroit.</div></div>

I've actually thought about Wolf. Also the Russian, Kotchetkov could be an option as well.

Thread: Boned in lottery

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>brady37</b></div><div>Bouchard's first year will be burned next year playing in the AHL, as he's a late '99 birthday (only way it won't is if he's sent to juniors to play an overage season, but 1st rounders who get signed to ELC's hardly ever play overage in the CHL).

Veleno's ELC can slide another year, but he isn't eligible to play the season in the AHL, he's still junior age next year (he got exceptionnal status and played in the Q at 15).

As for trades, Oilers say no, not enough value for Bouchard as they have high expectations of him as their future #1 RHD
Panthers say no, I believe they're looking into Knight as well for their pick</div></div>

Fair enough, but they still need a goalie next year to replace Luongo. Knight is still a few years away.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>trentbarney</b></div><div>The Trouba trade is way to expensive!</div></div>

Think so? I imagine they are going to ask a lot for him. The only leverage I see is if Trouba signs a one-year deal with Winnipeg, lowering his value since he will be a UFA after next year I believe.

Thread: Boned in lottery

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ON3M4N</b></div><div>Why only 9 games for Veleno and Bouchard?</div></div>

So their entry level contracts slide. Kinda like what they did for Zadina. Unless they are just that good right away, then I think 9 games plus time in Grand Rapids is the best route.

Thread: Next Season

I would like to see Rass moved in conjunction with some combo of Saarijarvi/Hicketts for a defenseman. If Trouba is available, I imagine Hronek will have to be the piece. Hoping they get Cozens in the draft and can maybe swing a deal with 2 of their 3 second's to trade up to get Spencer Knight in goal. Those 3 pieces would take care of their biggest holes.

I notice a lot of teams both before and after the new feature, I will try to sign a player and it will just hang up and not do anything. Even after I refresh the page, I click "sign" and that option disappears and I just get the spinning circle. Using Explorer. Does this generally work better on Chrome?

Thread: Deadline

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>RedWings86</b></div><div>PIT trade looks fine. I don’t think CAR would move Bean over Faulk or Dougie. EDM is lacking in D, so I don’t think they’d trade their best D prospect for that package, you may have have to add Green in there. TBL doesn’t have the cap space for Vanek.</div></div>

Fair point on Vanek. Detroit could always eat salary on that one. As for Bean, I feel if Carolina is trading for Howie, they are trying to contend and therefore are going to want to trade a prospect as opposed to established top-four D like Dougie or Faulk. I agree with MisstheWhalers in that they could even add Hicketts to this deal for taking on Lucic.

You could argue that they don't make the trade with Ottawa though if they do this one.

Thread: Nylander

Ericsson has a modified NTC, don't think he waives it for Buffalo and Detroit needs to add a lot more for Nylander.

Thread: Realistic.

I like the Nyquist trade, but have to agree with the sentiment on Vanek. We had him two years younger and only got a 3rd for him last time. Even with team's being desperate, I predict only a 2nd at best for Vanek come deadline time. As for Jensen, I think he is better than a 6th and would rather they keep him and let a youngster take Kronwall's spot at season's end. If anything, I think Jensen is good enough to pick up a 4th or even a 3rd since he is relatively young, can put up some offense and skates well.

Thread: Crazy scenario where wings get younger and older

Big question is if Seabrook would waive his NMC to come to Detroit? Maybe if he sees these moves as making them a contender he'd consider it if he felt unwanted in Chicago.

The more I read about him, the more I think he has the potential for being that draft day riser. He very well could stay mid-round but I'm going on a hunch.

You are also forgetting that this forum is called Armchair GM, in other words, building the team through one's own perspective. Otherwise, what's really the point of mimicking what bad management already has done. This is a create your own team so to speak so there is nothing wrong with dealing in hypotheticals.

Unless you work for the team, quotes aren't 100%. Management isn't always going to show their cards and plans can always change if the right deal comes along. Certain players also become available after teams make initial assessments of their own personnel.
