Thread: Mortgage the future
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BlackwoodForVezina</b></div><div>Yotes aren’t retaining</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>UpsideDownQue</b></div><div>Seems like an overpay for Giroux+Braun. I believe it was reported that Fleury wants to finish the season in CHI and the new GM was going to honour that. For Chychrun I doubt ARZ would take Muzzin back without knowing if there are any lingering effects from his injury, and that really impacts the value of the package they get. He could either become a cap dump or return to being a solid top 4 D. Either way I dont know if they would agree to 4x2.3M retention</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BlackwoodForVezina</b></div><div>they could just overpay for garbage UFAS</div></div>

I don’t really get this line of thinking. The coyotes. Should have two goals over the next few years: 1. Acquire future assets. 2. Be bad.

They have to reach the cap floor, so why go on a spending spree if you’re trying to be bad. Shouldn’t a sub-goal be to maximize the value of their retained contracts? To the end of being bad, wouldn’t using some of their cap floor space to pay someone to play for another team be the best way of doing that? I guess you could argue that locking up one of those three retained contracts for four years might not be ideal, but if the return is good enough, i think its a no brainer.

Lets say the price tag for Chychrun is two firsts, and any prospect the yotes want, which i think is fair. Does full retention add another first? If it does, I think thats a good idea for the yotes.

Thread: Crazy unrealistic Eichel trade
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Shibbal18</b></div><div>Liljegren is a bust, Robertson is a 3rd liner, Mikayev is a 13th forward that wants out, and 2 picks #25 or later, yeah thats brimming with value</div></div>

Instead of that asinine first statement you might as well just mash your hands against the keyboard and press send like this: skjhgfsfhdssfcbedvnmhhg

By that logic Olli Jokinen was a bust at the time

At Liljegren's age he just had a 16 point season

So many players peak 24+ it's absurd to ignore that

Clearly when a team is contending for a cup they let their prospects mature while giving old Zach Bogosians the 3rd pair role: it's very common

Liljegren has had elite AHL numbers for his age

He looked very very NHL ready in preseason

And yeah he just turned 22 last April like...

It's just such a waste of everyone's time here to post malarkey like that especially when so many players disprove your statement *ahem* Jack campbell

Edit:

Typo.

Thread: Position switch
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Oiler3535</b></div><div>He had 1 year of elite offensive production. Only the one. Otherwise he's been just good. But I'm not talking 1 game sample. He has never been good in his own end. Not one year has he had a defensive war in the positive.</div></div>

I tend to agree with what you say. Reilly is just average when actually playing defence in his own zone. He's very good on the PP. But the he has never been a go to guy on the PK.
At his best at even strength, when he able to transition with puck from defence to offence.
Not saying the first place Leafs will do as you suggest, but it's an original creative thought. And I agree with you about Dermot. He's the guy who been hampered with poor partners for years, but is worthy of more respect for his play by CF followers.
