Thread: EK to Philly? Whats the price?
Calgary already has 5 goalies in their organisation 3 are NHL calibre guys, so I highly doubt they'd take Neuvirth, but I agree on the idea that he should be shopped around.
Sam Morin played 15 games last year, and will miss up until Feb. this year, so I'm not sure he has much of any value at all in a trade at this point in time, but it would be great to bring in another right hand shod defender that can play in the top 6 consistently.
Morgan Frost was one of the most improved players in junior hockey last year. He and Giroux put up the same amount of points as 18-19 year olds in junior. I think at this point in time he and Myers are untouchable players.
MacDonald was an assistant captain last year, I highly doubt he gets bought out, but I understand the feeling of finally wanting to be rid of such an embarassing contract.
Putting together a package that included 2 or three of either Sanheim, Hagg, Rubtsov, Lindblom, Strome, Aube-Kubel, Vorobyov, Allison, Vecchione, or Martel, with a depth player and a pick or two I think would be much better for the organization.
That being said, the Flyers already have two great offensive defensemen. Why not try and find a right hand shot defensive guy, like Tanev, Hamonic, Pysyk, Murphy or Stone?

Thread: Hawks 2018-19
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NickC1988</b></div><div>No thank you to both of those trades. Larsson is a 4th liner. Forsling has serious top 4 potential. Hawks aren't moving DeBrincat AND all those prospects for a rental.</div></div>

Forsling was statistically the Hawks worst defenceman last year. He struggled mightily.

The Panarin trade wouldn't happen without a long term extension.
Panarin is one of the top left wingers in the league. In order to land a top talent, value has to be given in return.
Panarin is a game changer, and can take control of a game, and has a load of chemistry with Kane.
Debrincat is a one dimensional support player. A very good one with two years remaining on an entry level but aside from Schmaltz or Boqvist I don't think there is another player that the Blue Jackets would be interested in receiving to give up Panarin.
Chad Krys probably won't sign with the Hawks anyways with the logjam of defensive prospects.
A one rating is pretty awful. Thank you for that.

Thread: Leafs 2018-19
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>superbrett</b></div><div>Nice try. I don't think either of those trades are really that good for Carolina or Vancouver. Skinner would be a nice get but he is a UFA soon. If Vancouver is willing to eat that much salary I personally would not have a problem giving up a 1st round pick for Tanev. That would truly help the defense next year as well.</div></div>

The rumour out there on Skinner is a first round pick and a prospect. These picks come pretty near to a first.
Leafs use Skinner as a one season rental, and let him walk when the kids salaries kick in.
Carolina needs a change in net, so why not take a chance on Sparks he was the AHL's best, and Toronto has 6 goalies under contract. If they bury Darling, see if he can regain some confidence. No one is going to pick that salary off waivers.

Thread: Wild CBJ OTT
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Shibbal18</b></div><div>Im saying if Dahlin is on the left and with Guhle moving up, Scandella is expendable. I don't think Dahlin is starting on the left so its all moot.</div></div>

Having an 18 year old play against other teams' best players, while playing on a bad team could be really bad for development. Keeping a young player sheltered until he proves he can swim is usually how coaches work.
Keeping Guhle in the minors to start the season won't hurt him, will actually probably help his development, as being a dominant player will help his confidence, then you keep the depth in the system. That second round pick isn't guaranteed to be a productive NHL player, and of it does become an NHL player that's likely 4 years away.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Shibbal18</b></div><div>That's a horrible excuse, He was brought in to be paired with Risto as a number #1 LHD, was bad, but we should keep him because he might be better against worse players... McCabe is a proven 2nd pair, is younger, is a good defensive dman, plays his role well, and hasn't even hit his prime yet. Scandella is in the middle of his prime, is a failed offensive dman, and cant play the role Buffalo wanted of him. I'm taking McCabe over Scandella every time.</div></div>

I'm not saying anything about McCabe at all. He's a steady player. Teams need depth as injuries happen. Trading away players that play a lot and coaches use as their top players without getting much in return will keep a team in the basement. The good teams have 10 defenseman that can play at the NHL level. The entire team failed, why blame it on Scandella?

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>wojohawk</b></div><div>Unless Panarin is agreeing to an extension in conjunction with at trade, no way are the Hawks giving all that up. Even then, unless you can convince Panarin he is worth a decent chunk less then Kucherov just got, you need guys like DeBrincat that are productive on ELC to offset how top heavy the Hawks would be with Kane/Toews/Seabs/Saad/Crawford/ Hossa/Keith/Anisimov. Even if you can snooker Panarin into 8 per year (somehow his agent doesn't know income tax in Florida vs Illinois and you convince them he is 12% less of a player than Kucherov??….good luck with that) and do something short term on Schmaltz at 5 per....you'll have 10 guys eating 68+ million of your cap (with one of them retired).</div></div>

The trade would only happen if Panarin signed long term.
Hossa will go on LTIR,
Bowman has shown he will bring in vets on bargain contracts to fill depth. Last year didn't work so well, but it had previously.
Boqvist, Jokiharju, and Beaudin should all see time while on their ELC. The cap will go up between 3.5-5 mil.
So then in 2019 after having Panarin on for 9mil, Schmaltz for 5, the team has their core together and a few depth spots to fill with young players on the back end, and some vets to fill holes in the bottom 6.
