<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Marcsnack</b></div><div>Cant see Trenin fetching that after how he has played. He isnt a clear upgrade for our 3rd line, so we would pass.</div></div>

Yeah, I'd say he's worth a 4th and I'd take that deal if there was a spot for him, but my guess the Pens target a middle six winger if we're in the playoff-hunt come the deadline.

Thread: Price of NSH players

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>pens1991</b></div><div>curious why you see novak as a first? I understand his numbers so far, but he hasn't made a full season in the league yet, and turns 27 in April. Kind of believe a 1st is an overpayment, which I know tends to happen around TDL but idk.</div></div>

As the league seems to be in the last year of the stagnant, covid related, lower cap ceiling, the fact that Novak only makes 800k makes a big difference and contributes to why a late first in return for him is plausible.

Thread: Price of NSH players

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>OkMan</b></div><div>I don’t think the Preds would be too keen on moving Parssinen or Glass. Novak would ideally fetch a first or so. Tomasino would ideally get that as well - I think the Preds still value him like his draft position</div></div>

It just doesn’t make sense for any team to pay draft capital similar to his original draft position for Tomasino right now. The Preds should just hold him and see how he grows. His market value is definitely too low to justify giving up on his potential yet.

As for Parssinen, I agree. He was a great 7th round find that you guys should also just keep.

Thread: Price of NSH players

I agree with <a href="/users/OkMan" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">@OkMan</a> and <a href="/users/Jeuck75" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">@Jeuck75</a> that NSH would be looking for a late 1st for Novak.

Glass and Pärssinen likely aren't available, unless they get bundled with other pieces for a superstar.

The most logical return for Tomasino is another skilled young player who also might need a change of scenery to reach their potential. Personally, I'm hoping for a Tomasino+ for Kakko trade.

Thread: Price of NSH players

Parssinen and Tomasino aren't going anywhere. Novak I'd trade for a first though. (likely a mid-late first)

Thread: Laine

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Marcsnack</b></div><div>Would actually be a sick addition for ARZ. Depending on how highly CBJ rate Hayton could affect the price. I could still see CBJ wanting more.</div></div>

They definitely would want more. I'm sure ARZ wouldn't accept Hayton + two 2nds for Schmaltz, don't see why Kekalainen would for Laine when his job is probably on the line. Even if Hayton breaks out, JK wouldn't be around to witness it. Not sure if either team would be interested but Schmaltz for Laine 1 for 1 is more fair than Hayton + two 2nds.

Edit: If CBJ is just looking to sell Laine for futures then maybe Hayton + a 1st + 3rd or 4th (or some prospect of equivalent value).

Thread: Deadine

I think the value here is good, Arizona just doesn't strike me as being ready to deal away first round picks. Even with all the second rounders they have, I think they'd rather move those. When they made the Chychrun trade, Armstrong cited the quality of the Ottawa pick being better than the quantity of other picks they were offered, so I imagine that philosophy hasn't changed

Thread: Thoughts

I think a 2nd + POJ for Dube 50% retained would be fair give or take a little tweaking.

It probably takes a 1st to get Raddysh, if CHI is even open to moving him. That said, I'm not sure if Dubas would trade a 1st for Raddysh.

You're not losing much in Ty Smith, he's too bad defensively

Ty Emberson is a physical RHD and seems like a guy who could be decent defensively in the NHL on a 3rd pairing or as a 7th D

Pens are 14th in the order, I think he doesn't pass the Hawks or Sharks. If he does, yes you should get him.

Yeah if Im being honest i just didn't feel like figuring it out. I would just have the Sens retain b u t the whole point of the move is for them to sign Pinto. Lavoie would have to be sent down for Petrov which I don't hate

Thread: Get a 1st rounder in

I can't say definitively it wouldn't work - because sometimes players just develop good chemistry together. I would say it's probably highly unlikely though. I imagine Poulin is probably behind Eller, Acciari and Carter in the depth chart for C. Maybe even White as well. Especially given what happened with Poulin last season. Hopefully he can rebound and maybe make a case to be there in the middle of the season.

Thread: Get a 1st rounder in

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Marcsnack</b></div><div>Yeah really excited for him. I like the way he plays.</div></div>

He plays the same pretty much every game too. He was clocking upwards of 18 a game for the Blues because he was one of the only players that we could count on to be responsible, reliable, and consistent.

Thread: Get a 1st rounder in

I would imagine Eller would 3C and then Acciari would bump up and down between 4C and 3RW. Acciari is a very very good player and faceoff guy. Was really hoping he'd return to STL

Thread: My Lines

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Marcsnack</b></div><div>Interesting. I feel like Nieto and Acciari are more suited for the 4th line, and Nylander and Puusty could work on the 3rd. DOC isnt really a C, but he wasnt awful last season. Maybe they transition him to a C.</div></div>

I feel like we don't have a true 3rd or 4th line. It's just the top 6 and bottom 6 so I wasn't focused on traditional roles. DOC came into Wilkes as a center, was their top center when he was down there. Sully transitioned him to wing, but does play him at center when we are short. I like DOC better at center for roster flexibility, but doubt it happens.

I have no clue what to expect. I do think Smith makes the team but I just put them there for the cap

Thread: Who gets final spots

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Marcsnack</b></div><div>The reason I cannot see Pitlick making it is it forces us to play with only 1 scratch instead of 2. As for Nylander, I was super high on him when we acquired him and when he finally got playing time I was buzzing. He got a chance in the top 6, but didnt perform the best. He is now 25 so he really needs to show what he is. I want him to do well, but he really has to elevate his game from last season.

On D, I wouldnt mind a POJ-Smith pairing, since it is one defensive D and one offensive D, but since they are both lefties, Sullivan might not be a fan. I honestly rather move Smith if we arent going to use him, but I dont know how much value he carries at this point.</div></div>

I'm thinking along the same lines with Pitlick, but I'm not sure if managment agrees. He and Nylander I think have higher upside to Hinnestroza and Johnsson but lower downside.

The issue with the POJ-Smith pairing is that I would not call either of them a defensive defenseman. Even with Ruhwedel/Pysyk, we only have 3 decent defensive defensemen. I think it could work but having 1 of Ruhwedel or Pysyk would be more balanced.

Thread: Who gets final spots

Tatar definitely makes it if he signs. I think the 3 forwards you mentioned are all frontrunners for spots, but I could see Nylander or Pitlick leapfrogging Hinnestroza or Johnsson. Poulin and Puustinen are probably close to NHL ready (especially Puustinen) but it's more of an uphill fight for them to get a roster spot, and Puustinen's skillset is better suited for a top 6 role. Zohorna and Wagner I really think are just there for organizational depth and won't see much time unless we see a lot of injuries.

On defense, I'd have loved to get Joseph and Smith NHL time but that would mean pairing them together and that won't make a well-rounded pair. As of right now, I see Ruhwedel in the 3RD slot with Smith as the 7th D, but if Pysyk is healthy enough after missing all last season, he could contend for one of their positions. Friedman, Butcher, and Hajek are in the same sort of position Zohorna and Wagner are in where they've got a steep uphill battle to get NHL time. I wouldn't count any of them out, especially Friedman, but the odds are not in their favor.
