Thread: Way Too Soft Rangers
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>delneggs</b></div><div>What are they building? Did you watch the Isles manhandle them the past three games they played? The isles 4th line runs over them like men vs boys. They are building a soft team that can out skill other soft teams but has no shot against big, physical teams. Last night it was Ranger 3 and Caps 2 when Wilson pulled his crap. Afterwards, the Caps picked up the physicality and the Rangers went back on their heels and looked like they did vs the isles again and the result...a 6-3 Caps win. In essence, Wilson got to punch Buch while he was down, rag doll and hurt Panarin and the Caps win the game, and all it cost was $5k. Not a bad deal for Wilson and the Caps. Yeah....who needs a player or players to deal with Wilson......golf is just as much fun as making the playoffs.</div></div>

you completely miss the point and didn't answer the question. Wilson is the exception, not the rule.
having toughness and having a player to defend against Wilson are two different things.
GM's aren't sitting around telling themselves they need to sign a goon because their team plays washington 4 times a year.
things are different if Trouba and Lindgren were in the lineup.

Thread: Coga
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>coga16</b></div><div>avs go a 22 man roster, with the eagles 45 mins away they dont do a 23 man roster, easy for call ups. And to call the avs nhl ready prospects AHL guys is disingenuous.

Any middle 6 fwd in UFA is 3m, that is just the standard rate. Donskoi production is similar to Tatar, Coleman, Grandlund, Saad. Are any of those guys singing for less than 3.9m? are Foligno Palmeri Danault who Donskoi is out producing going to sign for less than 4m?

Those are conservative market value contracts for those players, the same can be said, what if they take less bc its a flat cap era.</div></div>

regardless of what Gary said a few months back, I think the cap will increase for the 22/23 season.
i don't think there is much of a concern with the Avs roster, tight but completely doable.

Thread: Eichel and Signings
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jdfitz77</b></div><div>Even if it’s just u guys &amp; LA....
you’re gonna have a hard time beating a package that starts with Byfield or Turcotte- bc u don’t have a high end center prospect to include

Also..... Eichel is under contract for 5more years
So we wouldn’t necessarily be in a hurry to move him,
&amp; we can wait for the right deal</div></div>

i'd bet pretty much anything that if Eichel is dealt to LA - Byfield is NOT a part of the return.
listen, people argue value all day long on here, but take a look at high profile trades of top tier players in their prime.
based on those historical returns, Buffalo fans are going to be greatly disappointed if a trade does happen.

for the record, i'm a part of the minority on this site, i don't want the Rangers to trade for Eichel regardless.
i wouldn't touch him with a 10 ft pole at Buffalo fans asking price.
