Thread: Improving team

I like Rielly and Ekblad and the trade tabled is off-side IMO...

Wouldn't a 1 for 1 at least be more in line?

Everyone's tradeable - Gretz, Jagr, Hull, Messier etc...
No secret the Leafs have too many skilled forwards and need help on the defensive/goal side as Jambo posts.

For sure Shmoe, but there are options, if required, that might effect the 'bubble' players more than the 'core'.

No prob AED...
The CBJ trio is just where the "trade" talk should revolve if I get the GM chair vs Eric Staal or T Hall or other such non-fit "gar-bahje" trades (French-way so it's not so offensive ha ha).

Ahh yeah Stompy, I forgot/overlooked the Krug deal posted above.
Agree too that 7 x US$8.15M is unlikely from Bruins unless term is 5 or 6Y maybe?
Krug's on record for wanting to sign in Boston, so is that US$7M / $7.5M / other?

Right against the Cap in this post due to overpays/Vesey (not wanted)
Debrusk 3 x US$5M
Griz 5 x $3.5 or 4M
<em>delete</em> Vesey's $2.4M
RFA farm boys - some are likely not gonna get offers. Just guessing but if the Cap is tight then - Sherman? Cehlarik? Kuhlman?....etc. would be likely expendable.

Thread: Boosted

To me, Staal is Backes 2.0 in the making (or Nash, or...) - so I'd pass. Additionally, a "6 for 1" trade netting a 35-yr old 'former, former' is just blatantly off-side, no video review needed.
Werenski for Grizz is kinda the same IMHO, almost sideways move. I said <em>almost</em>. Yes I think Werenski's better but not to the tune of Grizz, +____, +_____, +_____., if I'm the GM.
The value in ZW and/or Grizz will multiply if Krug decides not to sign and is dealt at TDL or retained for playoffs, and walks year-end.
Moreover, the draft this year is supposedly deep and I think it's better to keep the early round picks...

CBJ - Anderson, Atkinson or Jones seem more fitting in Beantown?

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Ragsandbluesfan</b></div><div>Nothing is ever required, all im saying is if they want both, jake is required so they wont entertain the idea, simple as that</div></div>

Are you saying the trade is: Debrusk for Hall & Palmieri (full stop)?

If so, then there's very likely over-the-Cap issues with the retention of the Backes/Miller/Moore brothers.

And yeah - don't think NJ bites!

Thread: Hall and Palmieri

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Ragsandbluesfan</b></div><div>Requires debrusk</div></div>
Debrusk is a "non starter" for this deal - period.
He's younger and has plenty more 'ceiling' on a #1 team than either of the basement-dwelling, aged, Devil cast-offs.
Point-blank, Hall is a over-rated and a poor fit in Beantown, and J Stud looks to be a likely candidate to grow into the 2nd-line, RW-hole where KP might work.
Hence, none of these ridiculous trade scenarios are even required - NEXT...

Thread: Y cant the leafs be in on hall

Further to Ledge & D above Leafyboy, it looks more like you've concocted a sneaky 'Severson trade' in there huh? Very under the radar-like move with his nice term and Cap friendly dough-$, nice try bro.

Thread: Hall and Palmieri

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Kakko_to_New_York</b></div><div>all in aye?</div></div>

If something like you suggest KK would work then fill 'ur boots; I don't see this as the "X-factor for Stanley" however.
But you may be a genius and hey "Que the Duck Boats"
To me, that's too much "capital investment (see #4 thru #7 trades)" to give up for a RENTAL (Hall, he's over-rated too) and a pending UFA in 2-y (Palmieri). Now KP as a 2nd line RW is the need for Boston IMO. So focus on <em>JUST</em> him and there may be a deal....?

Here's a suggestion Pasta:
NHL should set up a 2-week tourney instead of the Olympics. In it, 6-teams are generated "knee-jerk like" by Armchair GM's high on "Canopy-Growth" like your FB bud!! The teams then play a round-robin Armchair tourney for a kegger and blunts!

Thread: Rw trade

Good post on the RW need JS...

Not sure if that offer is enough tho, hmmmm? Miller's injury may get in the way for a trade partner. But I think he still has good value for Boston when he returns (depth, grit, experience etc).
If so, that leaves Cehlarik, 2nd and __________________?

First, breaking down NJ's need and they are awful at a lot of things NHL hockey:
* # of Wins = 30th (they are 4th best at losing tho!!! <em>sarcasm</em>)
* Points = 29th
* Goals For = 30th
* # of Goals Against = 25th
* PP = 28th
* PK = 22nd
Soooooooo, if your name ain't HUGHES, you're trade-able!

I offer - _______________________? = Clifton? or Legace? or Sherman? or a pick in 3/4/5rnds?...
Thoughts?

B's need is not spelled H-A-L-L !!!!!!!!!

Hey KB, prospects are just that - prospects! The B's do have a good farm-group and done well in getting the kids to the SHOW.
They're good at drafting so don't cut them off at the knees; reward the scouts I say.
What the B's are not good at IMO is the "shiny toys" (ie: Backes, Nash, MJo, etc.).
But 6 for 1 trade? A Rental? T Hall?

Sorry Champ, so much wrong with it on so many levels.
I'll just say that looking at the B's draft board alone, is ugly!! There's more holes than the Swiss have cheese.
