Thread: Trade with MTL
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ken_holland</b></div><div>Do you not see the 2024 1st

Anderson is a negative value contract, 500k retention or not. He's not as negative as Jack Campbell, which is why the 1st is added.</div></div>

A lot of whiny people on the internet yelling Anderson has negative value.... simply not true, as time goes on, if he still scores 20-25 goals, and clearly remains healthy, the contract becomes more and more manageable until it's actually a good contract for a top-6 forward.

Anderson with Drai or McD has more value than Campbell in Montreal.... throwing a late 1st to take on Campbell's contract, while taking a lone bright spot in Monty from a team with no goaltending depth is a tough ask.

I don't think it takes much more, Anderson with retention for Campbell and the 1st, Monty would likely get a 2nd or another projected bottom 6 prospect.

Thread: Keller
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Capitalfail67</b></div><div>yes!! like Timo right? hes absolutely killing it right now? DeBrincat ? he's on a better team. hes doing better right? no that doesn't always happen. hes never put up a ppg before this year? he's never scored 30g before this year. SO AGAIN lets not glorify him. sometimes playing on a terrible team ,like Domi this year ,benefits you.</div></div>

First off, Neither of your examples would be acquired with 5 years of contract to acclimate to a team.

Secondly, Ottawa is in shambles, Debrincat never wanted to be there and will likely be gone this summer.

Thirdly, of the trades with term left, Ekholm, Vrana and Granlund, 2 of the 3 are outperforming their pre-trade production.

Trades with term are hockey trades, trades without term have the potential to be rentals.

Jersey made a push, but they're disrupting the chemistry that made them on the more exciting teams to watch. Ottawa, i've already eluded to (and even Chychrun is under-performing).

Keller deserves the respect, regardless of your willingness to underpay.

Thread: Matthews to Arizona
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Lancebmx</b></div><div>Bettman would have all the teams in the be US if he could. That's why Quebec got pushed aside when it came to the last expansion even though they had an arena and the money to do it. Quebec would be my favourite target if not then maybe Houston or Kansas.</div></div>

Quebec would be a terrible spot, unbalances the West again, necessitating a move of some eastern team, which causes travel issues again.

Quebec wasn't a viable expansion because there is no increase in market, it's just dilution of an existing market, much like Hamilton, you're poaching from a current fan base to support a new team.

Kansas City, Houston, Milwaukee/Green bay or Salt Lake City would be better options to continue the league growth in viewership and revenues.

Thread: Trade and Sheet
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JoeROFLCOPTER</b></div><div>1. This article is from last month lmfao. This isn't a "historic trade thing".
2. "Elliotte Friedman stated that The Maple Leafs showed interest in Bertuzzi." Damn, what a crazy rumor! Rumor has it, Detroit has interest in McDavid!
3. This was from this season lmfao.
4. Article infers that Larkin was also tradeable? Very credible to me. (Also at the end of LAST SEASON).

Didn't know living in a cold and dark place like Edmonton meant you couldn't understand obvious sarcasm. Comparing Bertuzzi to DeAngelo is interesting to say the least, but go off I guess.

Still, please provide me something or ANYTHING that shows Bertuzzi clashing with Yzerman. PLEASE.</div></div>

So, a pattern over the past 2-3 years of his name appearing on the trade block, is not a demonstration of him being on the trade block. Can't fix the logic of people who rely on 14 second social media clips for news.

Godspeed little dingus.

The Detroit Red Wings need to be watched closely this week as we inch closer to the 2023 NHL Trade Deadline. Although they temporarily removed Tyler Bertuzzi from the trade market, NHL insider Darren Dreger reported last night (Feb. 28) that the Red Wings are listening to offers for him <strong>again</strong>

You do know what the word "again" means, right?

Friedman and Seravelli know more than you.... so, I'll take their word over yours.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JoeROFLCOPTER</b></div><div>yeah. Zadina should be 1 for 1 tbh.</div></div>

Zadina should be 1 for 1 with Parayko..... the same Zadina who has 5 points in 28 games.. I know Flint has tainted water, but didn't figure everyone in Michigan was drinking it.

Yzerman is a team-first guy, he shipped out attitude players in Tampa who put themselves first (Ie. Drouin, Deangelo, Downie) what makes Bertuzzi so special? is it his ability to have one good season and basically be a 50 point second liner? ooooh fancy.

Thread: why building around Quebec talent is good for HABS pt1
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Billy316</b></div><div>I think i'd take Debrincat &gt; PLD
Same position right now points wise and its among PLD's best on pace for a career high.
Its among Debrincats career lows in contrast .

That said i'd much rather add no forwards at all and find a way to upgrade Matheson or Savard into Erik Karlsson without losing our shirts.
E.Karlsson could help take Ghule to another level and be here just long enough to help Hutson jump to the NHL full time
His cap hits high but what he'd do to change this system would be huge by comparison to a Matheson or Savard's contributions</div></div>

C vs. Wing, C is a short term need depending on whether Dach or Beck can handle a workload, and obviously depending on who they get in the draft.

I don't think EK65 is on the right end of the career to take that chance given his contract, unless SJ or some intermediary eats $4-ish mil.

I think they need institutional depth, PLD would be a possibility in 2024-2024 only, so, get someone in the system and see how the FA market looks.... I'd risk a mid-level contract on a Dumba or something.
