Thread: Fire Colliton
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>PreemoForGM</b></div><div>Fire Colliton? Yes. Letting players just pick and choose practice participation when your in the hunt seems mind blowing to me. Send him back to Rockford.

Suter goes to CO and succeeds greatly in this trade making Bowman look like a fool again in CO trade. So probably not happening. Also Strome and Suter should be held onto. Center depth is there. So keep it. Draft Chibrikov and pray for Michkov in a few years lol.</div></div>

Literally every team in the league was skipping practices due to an obscene amount of GP to finish the season. Hawks played every other day from the end of Febuary until may and there was only 3 times they had more than a day off between games you may as well oust yourself as a clown now if you would really fault Colliton for something every coach was doing. Also causually ignoring that Q had way more optional practices when they didnt have to deal with a compressed season such as this

Thread: Next Season
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>pharrow</b></div><div>I hate to break it to your out of touch self. But 4 mil for a 2LD is average cost.</div></div>


You literally spent all off season claiming Matt Murray would get a first and a top prospect and youre calling me out of touch? A 1st for Pettersson is a massive overpayment even with a 2nd coming back. <div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Pensfan89</b></div><div>Because they are trolls. Don’t you know every penguin is a cap dump, even the ones on ELC’s and costs a 1st just to trade? It’s science or something.</div></div>

In a league that isnt going to have a cap increase at all the next 2 seasons there is a lot better things a team could do than give up a 1st rounder for a bottom pairing D that cant put up points and is only average in his own end while being paid top 4 money for 4 more years

Thread: Pens Prospects
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>LetsGoPens69</b></div><div>U forget McCann(24 years old) Marino(22), Pettersson(24), Kapanen(24), Lafferty(24), Zohorna(24), Angello(24), OConnor(23) all NHL experience on a play-off team already. Tristan Jarry just turned 25.

U want to say Guentzel(26), Blueger(26), ZAR(26), Matheson(25), Friedman(25), Riikola(26) too.</div></div>

DeBrincat is better than Guentzel. DeBrincat had a 30 goal and a 40 goal season at 20 and 21 meanwhile Guentzel didnt even make it into the NHL until he was 23...
Guentzel at 23 playing with Sid 48pts in 82GP. DeBrincat at 23 PPG winger with 30 goals in a 56 game season (and only 52GP) and of their 4 seasons overlapping eachother DeBrincat has been the better player 3 out of 4 with the only exception being 2020 and considering one player is 26 and the other was 22 the edge goes to the 22 yearold every day of the week.

The fact that you even list guys who are 26 and up is hilarious. May as well just go all out on being dumb and list Crosby as a young guy.

A vast majority of those players arent even good. Friedman has like 10 GP over the last 5 years, Riikola is a 7th Dmen, Matheson (A guy so bad Pit fans were rioting on this board for trading for him), and then a bunch of nobodies like these guys Lafferty(24), Zohorna(24), Angello(24), OConnor(23) ???

Debrincat, Strome, Suter, Kubalik, Lankinen, Boqvist, Dach, Reichel, Kurashev, Beaudin, Hagel, Barratt, Teply, Altybarmakyan, Kayumov, Comesso, Borgstrom is miles better than any young group Pit has had for the last 5+ years let alone right now. The players I listed are good enough to make their national teams for the worlds meanwhile youre out here throwing out a bunch of career AHL'ers like Friedman, Angello, and 26 yearold Sam Lafferty as if they are relevant and promising guys :tearsofjoy :tearsofjoy :tearsofjoy

Thread: What else do you do when you have almost 30 million in space
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Eli</b></div><div>That's a lot of draft picks, to go with an already decent roster. And there's still room to sign a 4M UFA over the summer, short term. Even before the expansion draft hopefully clears more cap space. Wow.

My concern would be that if any of their injured guys get healthy, they end up a good deal over the upper limit. And I"m not sure how that works in the summer: can guys stay on LTIR year round, or do they come off and go back on for a moment?</div></div>

Losing murphy or DeHaan in the expansion draft already clears enough cap for when Toews comes back. There is nobody deserving a major raise in the next 3 years.<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Gmonwy</b></div><div>So?</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Gmonwy</b></div><div>So?</div></div>

That means unless the Flames add 11 ELC contract/leauge minimum players they wont afford to even ice their team and something has to give.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Copenhagen</b></div><div>What is that Oilers trade. 1st, 2nd and 3rd to save 1 million bucks. Never. Ridiculous 1.9 million minus another NHL player is 1 million bucks.</div></div>

Neals cap hit is 5.7 million Oilers have 20 million to sign 12 players (and that includes RNH and Yammamotto, to re-sign) Oilers get rid of an awful contract 2 years early, get space to make their team better.
