Thread: Re-tooling at its finest and lucking into getting 2nd OA
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>capsleafs447</b></div><div>I'd think the Rangers match.

I doubt the Devils would trade Holtz, especially for that little of a return.

This may be my Caps bias, but I'd rather look elsewhere than Newhook. We could get better value.</div></div>

I don't think they can. They only have Kakko signed as a RW and less then 10M in capspace.

Kreider-Zibanejad-X
Panarin-Trocheck-X
X-Chytil-Kakko
Vesey-Goodrow-X

Lindgren-Fox
(Miller)-Trouba
X-Schneider


The Devils forum at HFboards jumped at the chance of 8th OA for him which probably tells me that it's an overpayment. a later 1st + a 2nd seems like middle ground.

Agree on Newhook, I just felt that Kuzy would be a great match for the Avs and picked someone who could potentially help them along they way.

Thread: Younger and more skilled remake
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>brady_t12</b></div><div>Caps decline that flames trade. Giving up a ridiculous amount to swap 1Cs and get a mid upgrade on defense.

Also giving up far too many pieces in that Arizona trade. I don’t see the caps having any interest in that move.</div></div>

That 1C going to CGY has checked out mentally from the Caps. Yes, when dialed in he’s a 1C, but that’s only on rear occasions now a days.
Price is what you pay, value is what you get. I’d rather overpay for the right pieces then try to lowball patchwork fixing.

The ARI deal is more like 2 deals-in-1. Mantha + 3rd for cap space and Schmaltz + 2nd for CMC + 1st + slightly better 2nd.

It also about beating the competition for a player you want.

Thread: Next year - repeat?
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ClockReads2113</b></div><div>Only way I do that CAR deal is if Skinner agrees to an extension. Not giving up 8 years of awesome Bura and a great goalie for 1 year of Skinner.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BeastModeUnknown</b></div><div>And from what I see he won't extend his contract unless he likes to sacrifice some puck touches for the team and Ovechkin.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BeastModeUnknown</b></div><div>Yea, He has been the main player in Carolina for a long time. I don't think he wants to leave the spot light for Ove.</div></div>

So, playing with a top-10 playmaking C in the world on a team that consistently makes the playoffs won’t be intriguing to Skinner because he might not get as many touches?
And yes, I envisioned him to be re-signed.
