But, if they do match, they’ll sit around 5-6 million over the cap. So unless they trade Zaitsev and Brown, and play Woll full time, they’re stuck. If they trade both players and replace them with 800k players, they’ll be exactly at the cap limit. That will cause a ton of IR and waiver problems all year. Plus GMs don’t do that. Either Kapanen or Johnsson is traded along with Zaitsev and Brown, or they lose one or both to an offer sheet.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>F50marco</b></div><div>No but if Point is offered an offer sheet of 10.5M and Tampa says we'll only be able to give you 7M, point doesn't have the option to go to other teams and negotiate. Once an offer sheet has been given, the player can refuse but he can't start using that against other teams other than Tampa......
That's the difference. Panarin and Duchene don't (once again based on things we've heard and how Buffalo has done recently) even need to give Buffalo the time of day. Point has no choice but to contemplate it if the offersheet is the only one given other than what Tampa is offering.
Let be be clear giving up four 1st rounders, to Tampa off all effing teams, is not a smart idea but if you think simply identifying the problem and fixing it is that easy, think again. The problem isn't that solvable. Mainly because part of the problem is time. Buffalo is in the same boat as Edm. They need to start winning now. Not in 2-6 years when those picks develop.
Truth is, I don't think they should be targeting Point. If they think they can get by with their goalie tandem, then they are begging to miss the playoffs again. Not to mention that the depth of the team is highly in question also.</div></div>
Tampa doesn’t tell Point at that junction that they’ll only give him 7. If they have to give him 9-10 to make him happy, they’ll shop Miller/Gourde and Callahan to do it. Or they drop him if he wants 11+ and take the four firsts and Panarin, who will sign for 9-10 in Tampa, who is a coastal team with low income tax and happen to be the reigning Presidents Trophy winners.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GMBB</b></div><div>Where do you get annual 30 goal scorer from? He has hit that mark only twice and missed it by 1 one year. So there's that.</div></div>
I don’t like the contract either, but as for the 30 goal thing - well here’s his g/82 over 17:00 average ice time. (Top-six minutes - what he’s playing right now)
2018-19: 36.8

2011-12: 23.5
2010-11: 26.8
2009-10: 20.6
28.4 average goals a year, 32.2 over the last five and more than 30 for three straight years. He’s also scored an average of almost 55 points a year and over 58 since the lockout year. He’s not a $7M player, but 55-60 points and exceptional power play skills make him a solid 5-6 million dollar player. Philly overpayed to get him, but coming off what could’ve been a 40 goal year with a bigger role, he was going to get paid.

I agree. Panarin is not McDavid, not will he get that money. It’s simply not worth it to spend that much on a player. Now I don’t really want Karlsson because he’s been injured for an alarming part of his career and this season. He’s far too high risk.

Trade with Vancouver
As Vancouver I say yes in a heart beat. Zaitsev is almost as good as Gardiner at this point and I’m really tired of seeing Pettersson taking faceoffs and Goldy playing at all. This would allow either Kadri or Horvat to play the 1C role and Pettersson to play LW. Kadri could be a point-per-game guy again with Pettersson and Boeser. Let’s do this!

Don’t give up. It’ll only be 3-4 more years before you’re back in it. Durzi, Clague, Kempe, Vilardi, JAD, Thomas, Kupari, Grundstrom, Rempal, Petersen, Campbell, Dudas, Anderson, etc.. will lead you back to an exciting next couple years. You’ve got a top five pick that could be Hughes or Kakko too. It’s far more rewarding to stay a loyal fan through hard times and see your team come out on top than it is to jump around winning teams. I get the discouragement. I’ve gone through the same with Vancouver. But we’re only a year or two removed from the playoffs which is barely ahead of you guys. Kopitar and Doughty will prove to be great mentors for the future and you’ll be glad that you stayed a Kings fan.

I won’t overate most players on my team. Tanev has been very bad, Hutton is sinking faster than the Titanic, Biega/Schenn/Pouliot don’t make most teams D groups. The only legit top nine forwards on the team are Horvat, Pettersson, and Boeser. Markstrom isn’t a starting goalie on a playoff team. I don’t overrate my team, who currently is garbage - a result of rebuilding - but I will say that it’s hard to argue that Setcher is not a top 4 D on a playoff team. Check out his stats for backup on hockey reference and compare the advanced, ice time, and basic stats to Pesce’s and Girard’s keeping in mind how much worse Vancouver is and you’ll be surprised. But this doesn’t really matter. Stetcher is a side note. Girard was the focus.

To all those who think Marner should be making North of 10 mil
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BCAPP</b></div><div>The taxes thing is quite exaggerated by people not understanding how the taxes work. For players who play in an American market you are charged at the tax rate of when you earn the money. Ie when you're in New York, you pay New York taxes, when you're playing a game in la you pay California taxes. So the tax break only applies to home games (I am not sure about Canadian away games. May apply there as well). Remember also that while these states don't have state taxes they still have significant budgets and need to make their money somewhere so they pay higher taxes in other areas (one area is often property tax). Living there will eat into some more of their money in other ways.
Now Toronto is for sure a higher tax environment and Tampa a lower one, but a lot of the estimates out there of like 30% differences are large exaggerations. These guys (should at least) be paying accountants to optimize their tax situation and are likely looking at significantly less difference.</div></div>
There’s a massive misconception that players like Rantanen and Aho will sign for almost nothing (7-8) and Marner will sign for almost twice that. Also, there is misconception that Point could take less because he knows the team’s cap situation. That’s totally wrong. A team will be payed what he thinks that he is worth. The Cap is set up based on that philosophy. I’ll break down the aforementioned players the best I can banking that all of them push for what they are worth.
Point: I hate blowing the taxes horn, but it’s honestly true - though not to the normally conceived extent. 15% is the difference between Florida and Ontario. I’m going to put him at 9.5x8 because Kucherov made the same off a 100 point year. Point isn’t Kucherov - maybe one day, but he’s massively benefitting from Kucherov’s dominant year and a loaded team. He’s still hugely valuable, but not more than Kucherov.
Rantanen: Honestly I haven’t heard a ton about his contract ballpark. There’s no Colorado contracts similar at all to him, but I’m going to have to say that he’s looking at players around the league and taking a Point comparable. 9.25x8 is my guess. Less than Point even though he almost equals him in points, but as a winger he’ll make less.
Aho: Easily the most underrated of the group, he’s a 90 point center on a middling team with bad teammates. Carolina doesn’t overpay guys, and they just gave a 60 point winger less than 6, so I trust that they’ll be good with negotiating Aho. The kid deserves a ton and he’s not making less than 9x8 which is my guess.
Marner: His contract comparable is unfortunately a luxurious Matthews deal, and on a Point deal he makes 11. He’s not a center, and though Toronto overpays RFAs and property, income, and sales taxes are high as well as the general cost of living, he still makes less than Point’s tax adjusted comparable. And he’s not Matthews. My honest guess is 10.5x6. I hate saying it, but Marner thinks he worth Matthews money. So Dubas will have to back off on the term.
Tkachuk: Slightly inflated by an incredible top six and PP, he’s not quite what the others are, and though he lives in Canada I’m still going to have to drop below 9 on him. He won’t destroy Gaudreau’s deal, so I’m going for a 7.75x6. He worth more and will be a 10 million guy after the 6 year deal. He goes close to 9 on an 8 year deal, but Calgary doesn’t overspend and gave Gaudreau an underwhelming contract after a similar year, so I think Tkachuk ups him. I could easily see a 8x6 though.
Laine: is a mess, but he shouldn’t be given up in yet. Winnipeg is in a huge cap crunch and can’t afford to dump a Johnsson/Kapanen/Miller/Gourde like other teams - they don’t really have any to trade - so Laine will have to be bridged. He’s also in Canada so a 8.5x3 looks good to me.
I’m sorry if this looks skewed against Marner, I just can’t help it TBH. The evidence is piled against Dubas and he likely gets 8 digits this year unless a bridge happens.

Lol. Quite the opposite. I don’t expect you to know much about Stetcher, who has been singlehandedly the best defenseman on Vancouver this year - better than Tanev or Edler. His stats beat Girard in every area and to watch him on the ice - the kid’s got an incredible hockey IQ. He’s a similar size to Girard, except he’s completely a defensive minded guy. He’s been playing 25-30 minutes a night rountinely and has done very well, killing penalties, good first passing and breaking the zone, awesome job of keeping opposing defensive time down while completely limiting any scoring chances by the opposition. He works super hard and is one of the most underrated defensemen in the game. I quite applaud Green on the way he has turned him from a slightly sub-average offensive D to a well rounded 3D who can play even higher in the lineup if need be and still excell. TBH, he’s a lot more similar to Pesce, just smaller.

Sure...... Burakovsky has far more talent than Wilson, but Wilson will outscoring him every day and destroy him defensively. Wilson definitely has more value. Sikura has more talent but is not as valuable as Saad. Milano has more talent than Anderson, but Anderson has a whole lot more value. Zacha has more talent than Coleman...... you get the point. You could be the most talented NHL player and not pan out in this league. Pesce is a solid, proven, elite defensively NHL veteran who is still 24 on an excellent contract. I’d rather him than Ristolainen. 30 ES points against top lines and great penalty killing in a defenseman that is that young is incredibly valuable. Girard isn’t quite there. He’ll never be Pesce defensively, though I think he’ll be better offensively. If Pesce is 1.5 times as good defensively and on the PK, then Girard will have to score 50-60 points a year down the road consistently. It could happen, but I seriously doubt that’ll happen.

Yeah, that’s probably a better analysis. Sergachev is hugely sheltered, and really hasn’t been able to show who he is. Though from what we saw last year when McDonagh wasn’t around, we can safely assume that Sergachev is a 40-50 point D man on most teams and has 60+ point potential. Girard’s ceiling is far lower. He is slightly worse than Sergachev right now, but things could swing waaayyy out of proportion should Sergachev develope properly. Which is why he was worth Drouin and Girard was worth far less. Don’t forget that Sergachev is a top ten pick.

Pesce is a whole lot better than Girard. Pesce is on a 32 point pace, Girard is on a 24 point pace. Pesce blocks more shots, has more hits, has better Corsi and Fenwick numbers, better oish% and oisv%, far more defensive starts, more takeaways, fewer giveaways, a higher e+/- and Thru%, more GF/60, fewer GA/60, and kills penalties exceptionally well in the same ice time. The only stat that I can find that indicates that Girard is better is the power play, and Girard hasn’t done that well on the PP. Maybe Girard will eventually become better offensively, but he’s not even where Pesce was at his age.

If you’re looking for right shot forwards who are still relatively young in the juniors, I have a few suggestions. Greg Meireles, Jeremy McKenna, and Nicolas Guay are good options. I’m going to say that McKenna is probably the best of those, he drives the Moncton offence as opposed to benefitting from others (Meireles) or feeding off others (Guay). He is pretty small though.

Put it this way. Peyton Krebs is about to be a top 10 pick because he drives the offence on a bad team, scoring a point on 38.5% of the goals. That’s solid. Hagel has points on 46.8% of Red Deer’s goals, has personally scored 19% of them, is doubling the nearest point leader on his team, and more than doubling the closest member in +/- with a +42 on a team that is +0 as a whole. Basically, he is the offence of Red Deer, and has put up well over 100 points on a very bad offensive team. That’s impressive. Wait till he plays with Kane or Toews. He won’t have to work near as hard. Obviously I love the kid, but I wouldn’t be surprised to see him playing top line in Chicago down the road.

You won’t need Trouba. But I do agree that this is a dark horse contender. That being said, do not trade Hagel if you want to contend in the future. He’ll be able to round out he top six in the future as a LW with Toews. Take a big offseason swing at one UFA, and let the rest of the holes be filled by prospects. This team is only a couple years away. Should they land Panarin, this team will be the one to beat.

Point’s deal is roughly 10-11M Toronto once you calculate income tax. That’s about right. Also, Palat’s value is roughly the same as Zucker’s, and Killorn is superior to Tatar. They aren’t scraps. They are solid middle six players who can contribute 50+ points a year with exceptional defensive play and special teams prowess. They are worth those prospects -maybe not quite the picks as well though.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NucksFanForLife</b></div><div>Basically if Colorado selects Cozens or Podkolzin and Ottawa drafts Turcotte/Newhook/Zegras, there is a chance that the Ottawa draft pick could develop into a better player than the Colorado pick. Not saying that will happen, but it is entirely possible and happens almost every draft. Somebody in the top five will end up being honest worse than several of the mid-first picks. Kakko and Hughes aren’t sure things, but they are as close to it as can be expected.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>coga16</b></div><div>It cant be Top 5. Only way Columbus can move up is if it becomes a top 3 pick bc they win a lottery spot and then its protected. Realistically the pick is going to be 14th/15th overall if they do miss the playoffs, thats as best case scenario as they can get for 2019.
What would be interesting is if they could defer it to the 2020 pick instead and roll the dice on the Jackets being bad in 2019-20 seaon is Bob, Panarin, Duchene, Dzingle etc all walk in UFA</div></div>
Or worse. The Blue Jackets UFAs aren’t going to stay if they miss the playoffs. Why would they? That will massively sink the team and the 2020 pick immediately becomes top 10 IMO. But chances are this won’t happen. The lowest I can see the Jackets dropping to is 12th - a 3% chance of winning 3rd overall. Chances are the Jackets will end up at 14th - being passed by Montreal, Arizona, Philly, and Dallas/Minnesota. Still, they’ll get a solid pick and could end up with a better prospect long term if Colorado’s drops to 3rd or 4th.

Gilly come back
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>DocArin0</b></div><div>Hughes is a center Honestly if VAN wins the lottery I would not be surprised they move back to #2 for Kappo and another Asset (Maybe that teams 2nd + Prospect) I know VAN fans think it would be sick to see both Hughes brothers on the same team like the Sedins but VAN has no need for another Center. They already have Horvat and Pettersson .
Could you imagine a line of Kappo-Pettersson-Boeser would easy contend for a Top 3 line in the NHL</div></div>
Yeah, I want Hughes over Kakko - then Pettersson can play left wing. He honestly cannot win a faceoff to save his life so I’d like to see him have help. Though having a bigger body in Kakko would be nice too.
