Thread: Noodling

The Jets are welcome to Ristolainen if they want him :) And frankly Pionk looked like a salary balance to me - Nate Schmidt would be preferable to the Flyers.

Thread: Option for the third line right winger

This aged well ...

Thread: Question for Flyer's Fans

I don't think ANY sweetener is necessary to move JVR; I'd expect something decent in return, because he has provided his contract value in full. Jake is still a top RW in the league, but his contract is pretty big and everyone keeps expecting him to see age-related decline (but it hasn't happened yet), so picks and prospects aren't unreasonable in a cap-dump scenario with him. Ghost went (ridiculously) unclaimed when he was waived this season, so he may not have much value around the league. I'll be laugh/crying when he's the PP1 specialist for the Kraken next season with 40+ points.

Thread: Jones

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Chopper02</b></div><div>Blues can't do that trade. Doesn't make sense cap wise.</div></div>

You're assuming that they're resigning some of the UFAs? With Schwatrz, Bozak, and Hoffman off the books they would have room ... or are some of the RFAs more expensive than I think? (I assumed having space for Kyrou was important, but otherwise Dunn is the only one I expected to be moderately pricey.) But I do acknowledge that Jake isn't cheap, so maybe he doesn't fit their desired cap allocation.

Thread: Jones

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Viqsi</b></div><div>I get that hobbyist analytics hangers-on are all "herp derp Jones is so overrated derp", but the rest of the NHL rightly views him as a #1D, and so if you want him you have to pay prices commesurate with acquiring a #1D. Two B-list-at-best prospects, a 2nd, and a cap hazard/reclamation project isn't even in the same universe.</div></div>

So be it; frankly, Jones is far from my first choice (I don't see him as a good enough #1 D, being in the analytics crowd). I wouldn't offer any more than what I posted - frankly, I would rather see Ghost in that top pairing than spend more to acquire Jones.

Lou Lamoriello thinks you're very funny.

Thread: The New Flyers

Well I can't say it isn't bold. No way in hell Hamilton signs for that little though. Same with Hart, and Sanheim frankly. I would say that was an overpay for Jones, but if you're desperate so be it.

Thread: Defense Re-Imagined

Kadri as your top center? Are you looking to stealth tank???

Forum: Armchair-GMJun. 14, 2021 at 11:01 a.m.

Thread: D helppipe dream

Not sure I like trading Sanheim for Ekholm. Nashville clearly wins that one. And Patrick AND a 1st just for Hamilton's rights? One or the other should be more than sufficient. Also that's too much for a bridge for Hart; at that price you better be buying UFA years (5+ year contract).

Thread: Trade for Laine and Jones

No way Fletcher sends Ghost and Patrick for ... who IS that?

Thread: Getting Chucky wit it

As a Flyers fan, hard pass on this. You're obviously in the 'burn it down' crowd - I am not. I do understand that big trades require big names ... but shipping JVR AND Patrick to Seattle just to have them take Ghost? GTFO. I bet they'd take Ghost just for Patrick, no problem. Then packaging Frost AND Sanheim for basically another Frost? Why the heck would Chuck do that? If you're being realistic about acquiring Graves sending Sanheim there makes a lot more sense to both parties ... but I would NOT make that trade as Chuck. I also find it hilarious that you want Hathaway and Simmonds ... I loved Wayne but he's totally cooked; you may as well dress John LeClair. Finally, Sanford as 3C simply isn't sufficient; at very least give Laughton credit and put him there in your lineup, so your 4th line can truly be bad rather than spreading the awful over two lines.

Thread: Suspect Defense

Brandon Montour is NOT a top-pairing defenseman.

Forum: Armchair-GMSep. 23, 2020 at 9:57 p.m.

Thread: Long term

If the Oilers are hoping to get more in return for Puljujarvi they're gonna have to keep him. Laughton is a useful bottom-six forward, and Hagg is a reasonable 7th D.

And just about every mock expansion draft I've seen has Seattle taking JVR, so no idea why you're poo-poohing it.

Forum: Armchair-GMMay 1, 2020 at 3:05 p.m.

Thread: 2020

Hagg is not better than ANYONE. Morin may be ineffective - we really don't know yet. But Hagg is awful.

Thread: Stealing underutilized assets

A serviceable 4C and a pick for a guy who couldn't even break into the Oilers lineup? I think it's plenty.

Thread: Johnny Hockey trade

OK, so switch Frolik for Lucic, and Kylington for Andersson. More fair?

All salary estimates are from Evolving Wild's salary model, both term and compensation. (Except Talbot; they don't do goalies.)

Thread: MaximumTalbot

You all realize Tampa doesn't HAVE $10m right? Not to mention their entire defense is UFA? If it makes you feel better, sub in Duchene at the same contract and offer-sheet Kapanen instead of signing Dzingel.
