Thread: Becoming a championship team next year
Well this probably never happens with Kulak. He is one of the most solid value contracts in today's cap era. He would be worth at least a 2nd and high prospect, plus he is great for our needs. The expendable defenseman is Cody Ceci if anything, and frankly how Erik Johnson helps I have no clue. I would say Erik Karlsson being a major player still, would be the guy you would want to target still at the draft.

Furthermore, Bjugstad is rumored to get a contract offer as high as 3-4 million, we simply can't afford that, so he will walk. Pure rental for us, I think we try and keep Ryan around, but we need some new blood every year too though, and more Bjugstad's will come along at next years TDL. And the Bouchard contract oilers will look to get under 4.

Thread: Flyers
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>DH28Hockey</b></div><div>I don't see any of those 3 guys moved for very different reasons:

Hart: Just don't think they'll get the value to justify that move, would take a team really, really stepping up to the plate with a great offer

Couturier: Nobody is going to pay for a guy who hasn't played since 2021

Ristolainen: At the point where you're moving DeAngelo, the Flyers literally wouldn't have any NHL RHD at all. They still need someone to play with York and you can always move Risto later down the line</div></div>

The point of those names was to say that the Flyers are going to be moving everyone! Those are players they would want and need to keep if building a winner, but trust me, coming from Edmonton, I know when the fire sale is around the corner, we had 11 years of that, and let me tell you, it's not just around the corner in Philly, but it's knocking at the door.

Thread: Ending rebuild sooner
I think your right close to the move for the Jets. I think someone said in a comment above that one more prospect might do it, and I agree, I think they would look at one more prospect and the deal is as good as done and both teams would be very happy. The one thing I would make sure of though as a GM would be to see if the Jets can do a sign-and-trade for Montréal as it would be quite the risk of trading futures in a non-playoff (currently) franchise for him to walk.

As for Joel Edmunson, if a second round pick is the value, I will be jumping for joy because that means Ceci on the oilers is worth a 1st and a 3rd. So I hope for the Oilers sake your right, but tbh I think a second is fair value. The one defenceman that I think could use a rehabilitation stint and maybe sign a 4-5 year deal that would make sense for the habs is Klingberg, maybe something to think about if a team said no to a second, but maybe a 3rd and a signed klingberg?
