Thread: Best possible offseason
On one hand, I feel like VAN wants Kapanen because Rutherford/Allvin are there, but on the other, I feel like its a sideways move for them in terms of ready now players, and I dont think they want to rebuild. I think the Pens may look for another RFA and make a 1 for 1 deal. Someone like Gurianov or Olofsson come to mind.
The Detroit trade is interesting. I think Matheson has really bounced back and Detroit will need a top 4 guy. I feel like they would want to shed a little cap, so maybe the Pens take Erne back and only get a 4th or 5th. Even though he has been good, the length of that contract is still a burden to some.
Finally, that Devils trade I like a lot. Wood has missed all season, but his playstyle is something we lack. Zucker could be a guy who helps them for one year and who can be dealt at the deadline for a decent return. I feel like a 2nd is a bit much, I would maybe opt for a 3rd?

Thread: Red Wings Fans
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mhockey91</b></div><div>I think pens need to add forsure; but tbh I think there is something here. Wings fans love to overrate Mantha but the reality is the dude has never even broken 50 points. Wings LHD is dreadful, and MP would be a young stabilizing force to play with Hronek or Seider. I think pens need to add something due to Mantha’s upside, but the base is certainly a good deal for both teams. Well done!</div></div>
48 points in 67 games
38 points in 43 games

Yeah, let’s continue this 50 point narrative. If he stops fighting he’ll stay healthy. If you view him as a 50 point player why would Yzerman sell him?

I wouldn’t call MP a “stabilizing force” the dude is a 4D with potential but that goes both ways.

Thread: Some Domi ideas
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mhockey91</b></div><div>I wouldn’t be opposed to that trade</div></div>

Thanks. I think Pittsburgh fans seem pretty united on wanting to add a skill forward, and Domi hasn't seemed to find a home in Columbus. Pettersson isn't going to push Werenski off the Jackets' top pair, but he opens up the option for them to trade Gavrikov for some kind of a center, while keeping their blue line pretty good. So the fit is right in terms of Pittsurgh being in a position to offer up the right value, and if CBJ accepts they're rebuilding this year, then they can work out positional needs on their own.

I think Columbus really hoped to bring in a #1 center when they got Domi, so Eichel or Kuznetsov would be ideal returns for them, but could be expensive. I'm not sure whether Bennett still has #1 potential, but Columbus has little to lose by trying him out, there. With so many people comparing Laine to Ovechkin, I think Kuznetsov could be a good linemate/teacher for Laine, but obviously the Caps probably like having the option of playing Kuznetsov with Ovechkin, still. And then Buffalo fans just seem to want six first round picks for Eichel, so I don't think he's really going anywhere.
