Thread: Future With No Stamkos

Logan O'Connor is not a top 6 forward now, nor will he ever be.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>wojme</b></div><div>Trade it for a young rfa or pick the best available player and worry about trading pieces away later.</div></div>

What young RFAs do you think are available? The Hawks are in the same boat and would like to add young RFAs for picks, but who is even available and worth it? Kaliyev? Injury prone Zegras?

Thread: Offseason

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>AntiAnalytics</b></div><div>Wtf would the Sabres do that for ?</div></div>
Because the draft is defense heavy, and they don't need anymore defensemen. Frankly, they don't need many more prospects in general, they've been drafting them for the past 15 years and haven't made the playoffs. Hawks could easily add more picks, it all depends on where Buffalo finishes.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Dan_the_Man</b></div><div>TB buries Sheary in the minors for600k first</div></div>

He would still be a cap charge of $850K, which is certainly more manageable, but not great.

Thread: Florida

If they could find a way to move either Knight or Bob, this team would be even scarier with that additional cap space.

Chicago says no, you'll have to pay to unload that brutal contract.

Thread: Just annoyed

Paccioretty is on the 3rd line playing for the oldest team in the league. Been watching a lot of Caps lately and he does not have top 6 legs. Teravainen would be a nice signing, but I think another team makes a better offer. Carolina probably matches that and he'll take home more money post-tax. It's shaping up to be a weird offseason, not too many big names on the hot seat. We should see a couple pop up after round 1 of playoffs.

Thread: Potential RHD option

Ducks can continue to build through the draft to find a RD that fits their window, not sure what acquiring Faulk accomplishes, they won't be relevant until after his contract and he's already in his 30s.

They play predominantly weekend games. They'll have several windows to call him up for a taste and let him gain the desire to stay. I don't think it'll hurt too much.

Thread: Crosby

Probably overpaying for Crosby, COL would likely be the only team he'd want to go to, but it's unlikely he waives. Might just walk as a UFA a la Toews in Chicago. He stepped away, hasn't even signed, but the door is closed in Chicago for him. PIT might have to do the same.

Just give the kid some ice time and see what happens, I'd like to see Reichel get another shot eventually as well.

I think the Hawks would do that, but I also think they'd likely retain and flip him to a team he'd want to go to for an actual return. I don't think the Hawks want him in the lineup honestly, they want the kids to grow and build their own culture, hence Toews and Kane aren't there anymore.

Thread: Demidov-Mews-Jecho a Gander Pt un

Can we really see 7 rookies make the opening night roster? I feel like that's highly unlikely.

Forum: Armchair-GMMar. 10 at 7:22 p.m.

Thread: Next year 1

Unlikely the hawks make that move, cap space is a premium and a lot of teams are going to be paying to offload contracts this offseason.

Forum: Armchair-GMMar. 7 at 12:16 a.m.

Thread: Oilers

You can have them retain 50% and keep Janmark, never a bad idea to keep depth. Might have to add another pick, but it'd be worth keeping a decent bottom 6 guy.

Thread: couple more trades

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>aadoyle</b></div><div>I actually think the trade for Avs is to eye Ned out of Pitt

50% ret he costs under league min. Has looked good before and I think could be a nice backup/motivator for Georgiev

Cause rn BOS is clicking and I think Ullmark's a summer move</div></div>

I feel like Boston would like to move him now if they could, but the goalie demand for contending teams is razor thin, so you're probably right. Ned is decent but he's been inconsistent throughout most of his career, not sure I'd trust him, but i'd understand the move.

Forum: Armchair-GMMar. 6 at 11:56 p.m.

Thread: couple more trades

Nobody is sold on Georgiev, why not trade the 1st for Ullmark? Boston will flip it for whatever they need, COL gets deeper in net. I understand why Dowd's so highly valued in the league, but you can probably get a different 4C for much less.

Still have the 2024 1st... Wouldn't be surprised if they're in on Guentzel or a 3C.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Hawksguy81</b></div><div>Yep. Hawks need to do something to upgrade this roster. This group is unwatchable even w/ #98.</div></div>

I agree, I know KD wants to take the full, long rebuild approach, but I feel like if they get Celebrini, he needs to add one legit top 6 guy, at least.

Forum: Armchair-GMMar. 4 at 9:58 p.m.

Thread: How I think the deadline will go

Probably. Can't see much substance being done here. There's nothing to move. I wonder if they make a hockey trade with Ottawa/Buffalo in the offseason.

Thread: Empty The Chamber Already

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>OldNYIfan</b></div><div>What's the incentive for the Kings to give up a young roster player with 181 games' experience and under team control for at least four more seasons in exchange for two third-round draft picks?</div></div>

The way they've utilized him throughout his career, including being scratched recently, hint towards the possibility that they move on from him. Their forwards all play a somewhat* 200 foot game, he really doesn't, but he's got the skill to be in the top 6, but won't crack it in LA. So he's stuck in checking roles that aren't his strong suit. It's tough to gauge his value.

Thread: DNVRs Real Roster Rizzler

Landeskog comes back next season and this team will be way over the cap. The Byram speculation makes no sense to me, he has a clear higher ceiling than Girard. His extension price must be a pain point in COL for there to even be rumors about it.

I'd be shocked if Colin Miller gets a 2nd in return.

Thread: Sell Sell Sell

Interesting deal with EDM, you may need to retain on a couple of those contracts though. Not sure they're willing to move Holloway, unless the retention is good enough.
