Hawks Trade Dealine
I'm gonna nitpick here.
For what ever crap I talk about Kapapnen, he's a better player than AA. I think straight up would be fine. I get you think the Pens need to up the ante since you're taking on another year of Kapanen, but a 3rd would be too much. I think straight up is fair, but if the Pens are pressed to give something, a 4th is fine. AA doesn't have a lot of value.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Imagine874859</b></div><div>I think if the right value comes for Barby he could be moved. I also agree with what your saying. I have been seeing Miller to pens trades recently and he's been pretty cheap and I didnt know why so thanks for clearing that up. I think trading Dumo once were fully healthy makes a lot of sense. Ty Smith has been pretty good and has looked better than Dumo. He reminds me of Letang a lot. Kapanen has to go of course. Maybe we trade Dumo to any team that we can get a late round pick out of and trade Kapanen, 2nd, prospect for JVR? I think hed be a realistic target for Hextall and JVR has been pretty good this year</div></div>
I hate to keep peeing in everyone's cheerios, but I think the likelihood of Dumo getting moved is VERY low. Not even because he's immovable, but players like him unfortunately have a low chance of being moved because of their history with their team. I'm not saying it won't happen, but I'd say it's one of the more unlikely things to happen.
Smith has been pretty good. I wouldn't compare him to Letang. He doesn't have the physical game, nor the defensive ability. I'm not sure who I can compare him to, but he doesn't have to be good in his own end. He just needs to learn to NOT be a liability, but he moves the puck well and helps generate offense.
JVR is just too expensive. The other things you mentioned would have to happen to make that room while having Philly retain 50%. Are these things all possible? Sure, I can never say never, but I just don't see them as likely unless Hextall gets canned tomorrow and they bring in an aggressive GM.

Super Random Weird Idea
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Garak</b></div><div>There was an idea I saw earlier that I kind of liked the concept of. Someone proposed Jones for Bob, straight up. Other CHI fans hated it. But if CHI is ready to just move on and cut their losses with with the old CHI regimes mistakes, Bob's contract expires EXACTLY when CHI should hopefully start giving substantial extensions to RFA's and at the very same time there will be available UFA's that could be targets without Jones on the books. Plus, if Bob keeps playing bad, he keeps us low in the standings to keep getting high picks. I know Jones is a HUGE investment for CHI to just toss out the window, but, I think Jones window is now, not later when CHI is ready to compete again.
I think, especially if Jones gets back to playing at a high level, people would be screaming for our GM's head. But in the bigger picture, it almost makes sense. FLA is in no position to take on Jones contract though. Plus they would probably have to add a little something, which they can't afford to do and would be risky for them. So, even that doesn't work. None the less, FLA is in a better position to win within Jones window than CHI is. He needs to be on a good team. This tanking is just dragging him down. And I fear, if this goes on too long, he won't be able come back from it when games start to matter again.</div></div>
I think that's pretty sound logic, but I think you'd still be able to squeeze something out of FLA. Even if it's just a 2nd or a decent prospect, but yeah, I think that all makes sense.

Yeah. I have to agree there. MTL has just begun their rebuild. They don't need moves like that. Hughes is showing patience and doesn't seem to feel any real pressure to force any moves.

It's fun to play around on here, but in all reality, I can't see the Pens being players for any big names. They simply don't have the space or assets they're willing to part with to make any major changes.
I think for the Pens, the realistic level of player will be guys like Travis Boyd or Sundqvist. Maybe not those guys specifically, but guys like them. The Pens problems aren't in the top-six. Barbashev gets traded a lot on here by Pens fans, but the only reason I push back on that is I don't see why STL would move him. I know they're season is in peril, but I don't see them going towards a rebuild. If anything, a minor retool and in a retool, you want guys like Barbashev.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Garak</b></div><div>Yeah. Probably. But with that Spencer Knight extension, I kind of have a feeling they might be willing to pay a premium to get rid of Bob. Which seems like a dumb move to me, but to each their own.</div></div>
The sad thing for them is they don't even have the pieces to move to do that. The have no first rounders over the next three years and only two seconds and two thirds. They're definitely going to be in an interesting situation.
I'll still never understand why they were so short-sighted. Knowing they had Knight in the pipeline, they still signed Bobs to that whacky contract. I get it, you can't be sure an unproven player can play until they show it, but to sign Bobs to a seven year contract? What was the point of drafting Knight then?
No team is without one or two bad contracts or trades, but this is one of the worst in the league.

The Pens trade is definitely fair and if we didn't have Archibald I'd say the Pens should 100% do this. It's still probably a decent depth move to make regardless.

Oh man, he's a complete shi*t show right now. To put it nicely, his behavior has been really bad in how he's reacted towards his teammates and how he's basically giving up on plays during the game because he's over it.
I don't know if this has always been an issue with him and it's just now coming to light, but after all of this, it's going to take at least a good year of him proving he's changed his ways before any GM considers trading for him.

They're likely stuck with Bobs unless a team gets desparate for a goalie.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Garak</b></div><div>Yeah. But Soderblom is set to get a full time job in the NHL either by the end of this season or the beginning of next season with a legit shot at taking the starting job from Mrazek. Also, we have a few others in the pipeline that could serve as call ups and there are plenty of other options in fee agency. Soderblom pretty much needs to graduate to the NHL with Commesso and Basse both set to leave the NCAA and go pro this summer or the following. Unless there is a team willing to pay enough of a premium for him to convince CHI to move him, he is CHI's next NHL goaltender.</div></div>
Ah ok, got it. My thought process was sending you a 2nd to keep Bobs as a back-up for a reasonable price, but I get it.
One thing I forgot to mention in my other reply is I totally agree FLA would have to pay more than that to move him, part of why I lowered the price was them taking Kapanen off our hands and I really like Luostarinen.

I understand your logic behind the Pens trade, paying first take Kapanen and retain, but Hextall won't be doing that, nor do I think he should.
I do think the EDM trade is a good one.
As far as Armia goes, my man, nobody is taking him. MTL will have to pay teams to take him.
