Thread: Nick Ritchie is extremely important to this teams sucess

I have steadily maintained that the only real trade chips Anaheim can sensibly use are Devin Shore, one of Larsson/Guhle/Mahura, and some of our second-line prospects. Moving anyone else simply doesn't make a lot of sense in terms of the return. Ritchie is a prime example: he's worth far more at his cap hit than he's going to bring back.

Thread: NSH SJS

I think that with the retention, Bonino costs you a prospect too, but we may be getting into subjective as opposed to objective evaluation. Good job on both trades. If the Islanders could pull them off, even at an increased cost for both, the team would be significantly improved.

Thread: Boston Trades for Burns with retention for Backes and a 1st

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>vr1995</b></div><div>now youre just nit picking, easily ONE of the worst contracts, no questions asked</div></div>

I <strong>love</strong> the unintended hilarity of pointing out that a difference of $12MM in cap hit and $9MM in real money is "nit-picking"

Amazing. To my knowledge, this is the first time I've ever agreed with both of you guys. Makes me wonder if we're all wrong.

Naaah. That's a terrible trade for Buffalo.

Thread: Anaheim n Minny

Anaheim isn't trading away picks unless they get a better one on the way back. Moreover, Ritchie plus the third-rounder are worth more to us than Johnsson due to Ritchie's physicality. He, Jones, DesLauriers, Gudbranson and Holzer are five tough guys more than you have; people wouldn't be trying to take such liberties with your stars if you had two of them on your squad.

The price on Dumba should be a first, a right-handed forward and a right-handed defenseman (not necessarily roster players). Hartman alone is worth a fourth-round pick, so that Minnesota trade is really, really short.

Thread: Kapanen for Manson

Manson is an acceptable second-pairing RhD or a very good third-pairing RhD. The problem for you is that Anaheim has no one better and no one ready to step up in his absence, so they won't trade him without (1) an overpayment, and (2) a RhD coming back, hence the comments from <a href="/users/SevenLeg" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">@SevenLeg</a> and <a href="/users/Jamiepo" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">@Jamiepo</a> , respectively.

Los Angeles won't be trading away three futures for two and a cap dump when we already have a much more expensive version of Risto Ristolainen.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Birtle34</b></div><div>I think it could be kind of a blessing in disguise season for the jets, getting some kids some big minutes and hopefully move up in lottery and nail a 2c or rhd in draft that possibly gets in 9 games and ready to go full time at 19.

It will be interesting to see if Braden Schneider or Justin Barron are still available in the bottom third of the lottery losers.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Birtle34</b></div><div>Possibly some depth dman to contenders for some picks possibly, I’m hoping for a hockey trade with another playoff missing team for a rhd with some term worth protecting along with pionk, and morrissey.

Yeah, that deal will have to wait for the off-season because everyone including the potential sellers knows that Anaheim, Las Vegas and Toronto in particular will be looking eagerly for RhD and you'll be competing with them.

Thread: Big trade with Tampa

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>villenash</b></div><div>ANA says no. Sticking two $5m+ contracts with 4+ years left after this season is a non-starter. Sure the two 1sts are nice, but you're hurting their cap hard here for years. Not worth it for them. They're rebuilding (maybe retooling) and this would hurt them.</div></div>

Note that the $10,364,687 "cap space" in the upper-right-hand corner gives a false sense of security as to Anaheim's actual financial situation next year.

Thread: Rakell

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Salzy</b></div><div>I can understand the logic there, one of the reason I wanted to ask ahah

I think I would rather take a package from another team though as I’m sure you can tell I’m not very high on any of Boston’s prospects not named Studnicka, I don’t think we match up with them we’ll need wise

Give me their first and senyshen for backes and call it a day 😂😂</div></div>

Yes, I agree with you that we could probably get quite a bit more from Carolina, for example, or even Pittsburgh. Still, you know how much I would hate to lose Rakell.

Forum: Armchair-GMFri at 7:45 pm

Thread: BUF and LA Thoughts

Los Angeles has no interest in UFA Cody Ceci or trading up half a round, and we have better prospects in the system than Bracco or Lindgren (including the one we got from you), so we can get a much better return for our back-up goalie than this (we're keeping Clifford).

Thread: Rakell

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Salzy</b></div><div>Just out of curiosity, what do you see in Senyshyn and Clifton that would make you say yes?

Edit: and Lauko</div></div>

The two forwards are rated solid middle-6 prospects and Clifton is rated an NHL-quality defenseman even if a bottom-pairing guy, and I was impressed with his play when I watched him in the playoffs last year. I am reluctantly coming to the conclusion that we won't be contenders next year, either and it seems to me that we should be looking to build up our developing roster. I think that the earliest we can hope to have a viable, high-quality right side of the defense is in 2021-2022, by which time Rakell will be close to the end of his contract, and that Boston first and our second are what I hope will be excellent RhDs.

As you can tell from my comment about Selma Hayak, I'm a dreamer.

Thread: Rakell

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BurgerBoss</b></div><div>I wouldn't. I don't see neither Senyshyn or Clifton being major factors in the league. This would be a big L for Ducks...</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Salzy</b></div><div>Could not disagree with you more tbh

Rakell for a first probably around 28, a 24 YO who hasn’t become a NHL regular and a team with a bottom 5 farm systems maybe best case 5th best prospect is an awful return for Rakell</div></div>

I can see your position, and it is eminently reasonable. Nevertheless, I would take this chance, especially if the forward prospect was Lauko as <a href="/users/DaBus" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">@DaBus</a> suggests. I realize I would be in the minority here.

Forum: Armchair-GMFri at 7:23 pm

Thread: RHD with term

I think that the least Minnesota accepts for Dumba is a first, Kapanen and Dermott or Liljegren, and that Anaheim trade is absurd -- UFA Ceci is of no use to us and Jones is worth more than the other two players and the pick is better, too.

Forum: Armchair-GMFri at 7:17 pm

Thread: Jets at the deadline

These trades make little sense for the Jets. (Roslovic for the rights to dick around with Puljujarvi seems particularly odd.) You'll have difficulty making the playoffs so it's unlikely you'll be renting Vatanen or anyone else, and the only guys you have that might realistically move are Copp and Little (due either to the fact that you don't want to move others or that others have NMCs or NTCs). I think that you'll be pretty quiet at the deadline unless you can acquire some better draft picks.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SevenLeg</b></div><div>Not enough. ANA would probably ask for Carlo</div></div>

Yes, we'd like Carlo, and I'd like Selma Hayak, but let's all be realistic. It might sting a little, but I'd say yes to this offer.

Thread: Manson trade

In addition to everything mentioned by my colleagues, any trade involving Manson (either individually or in a package) would have to include a first- or second-round pick in 2020. A 2021 or 2022 pick just doesn't cut it.

Thread: trades

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CrossFireX33</b></div><div>Fair enough, could switch the one in the nash trade to 2021 and give them the 2020 2nd... what prospect from the sabres do you think it'd cost?</div></div>

I think really good prospects like Asplund, Davidsson, Ruotsolainen and Samuelsson are going too far, so I'm thinking about guys like C. J. Smith or Brett Murray. It might also take a second, similarly lower-level prospect (maybe Borgen or Fitzgerald). The Kings certainly don't need center prospects.

Thread: AA and Donato

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ConnorsCousin</b></div><div>I think the value of a 2nd and Samorukov exceeds enough for Detroit to basically just take on Manning’s contract for 2 months. Not every player involved in a deal has to have value. That is why you see some teams adding AHLers to some NHL deals for the sake of contract numbers.

He’s also not going to paid 2M by Detroit. It’ll be whatever is left (pro-rated). And again, Manning doesn’t have to be involved. They could simply retain 50% and the dollars will work.</div></div>

I don't see Samorukov being than much of a boon to Detroit. He looks to me like third in line on the left for your team (behind Jones and Broberg) and could well be fourth on that side for Detroit. That's why I think that there has to be some additional compensation for taking on a minus like Manning.
