ARMCHAIR-GM TEAMS

Forum: Armchair-GM44 minutes ago

Thread: 2019

Kadri for a rental, even as good a rental as Tyson Barrie (a Vancouver native), seems awfully risky to me.

Kapanen for a prospect, even as good a prospect as Cal Foote, also seems risky to me.

Buchnevich and the first for Trouba feels right to me.

The only RD the Rangers would trade you in such a deal is Neal Pionk.

Thread: Next season idea

Three great draft picks, a great free agent signing, and a great Carolina trade. I think you owe Colorado something on that trade. And I still think Iafallo gets more than Kempe. Boy, are you gonna crow when I'm wrong!

Kapanen for Larsson and Ryan McLeod, not Russell and Safin.

Thread: Karlsson gets north of 11 million says bob mckenzie

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TheEmphatic1</b></div><div>it's a massive gamble and Doug Wilson is a risk-taker. I sense the organization believes that without EK65 on the team, their window is closed.</div></div>

Yes, I had already predicted that if they <strong>didn't</strong> sign EK, they would have good odds in the Lafreniere sweepstakes. Now that he's back, we'll see how they go. With Anaheim improving and Arizona not likely to suffer as many injuries next season as last, the Sharks my be in a fight for a playoff spot anyway.

Thread: Karlsson gets north of 11 million says bob mckenzie

Doesn't anybody else think that with his injury history and the way he seemed to slow down during this year's playoffs that in three years, he might be as unable to perform as Henrik Zetterberg?

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>WorstTradesPossible</b></div><div>I based it off the EvolvingWild (think that’s what it’s called?) contract predictor. They had it as 2x$2.2m</div></div>

Well, that's certainly an intelligent approach. But the consensus here is that Toronto is going to have to offer him over $3M to ward off an offer sheet. We'll see!

Thread: Iles

I don't think that Brodie is all that significant an upgrade on the ice over Leddy; Brodie is 29 and signed for only one more year while Leddy is 28 and signed for three more years. To me, the difference between Bennett and Beauvillier (if any, given Beauvillier's potential) does not make up for the imbalance in the defensive side of that trade.

Thread: Just messing around

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>WorstTradesPossible</b></div><div>It probably is an over-pay for Miller. Balance with a pick or two as you see fit. I was more interested in getting the roster together than in trade values.</div></div>

With that in mind, the one exception I would take is to the Kapanen contract. I think he gets over $3M.

Thread: Could This Work

Jensen cost the Caps a second and a prime prospect who is expected to make the Red Wings roster this season. Instead of busting out, as your trade implies, he seems to have justified that move. So that particular trade of yours is woefully inadequate.

Thread: Kadri Miller and Smith trades

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Laudan</b></div><div>Anything that brings 1st Pick for Kadri should be done deal. in this case its 11OA, so yes, jump on it and flip it further for top pair RHD. Do the same with our own 1st 2020.

As ANA fan what would bring 1st out of them for Kadri ? I mean what would the trade be, cause he would be good fit there also, i still see Sam Steel like 3#C for two more years...</div></div>

Kadri for that #29 sure is tempting. The problem is that Anaheim and Toronto are such bad trade partners because both need RD so badly.

Thread: Kadri Miller and Smith trades

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>flyersarephilly</b></div><div>I think Ratcliffe has a similar value to a first after the year he just had in the O again I could be wrong but IMO Ratcliffe and a 3rd= 1st and 3rd or it at least close.</div></div>

That's a fair assessment. My feeling is that unless a prospect is drafted in the first half of the first round, he doesn't have first-round value. Look at, for example,Timothy Liljegren. Drafted 17th overall and seems to be progressing nicely into perhaps making the team next season. But cannot be considered the equivalent of a first-round pick.

Thread: Kadri Miller and Smith trades

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>flyersarephilly</b></div><div>I've seen a lot of Vegas fans interested in this trade. Rumor is that Miller's price is a second it might be a little bit of an underpay for Smith but they seem to want him gone to create cap for Karlsson and Gusev.</div></div>

In my opinion, Toronto would accept that offer in a flash. But, as my esteemed colleague palhal says, Smith and Miller together would cost a first and a third, at least. And since they need RDs, Myers comes back into the discussion.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jangle29</b></div><div>Value is there but Leafs don't want to move Kadri</div></div>

I disagree. In fact, I strongly disagree. I think the Maple Leafs jump on that 11th overall pick and worry about solving the ramifications in the summer.

I wouldn't object to any of these trades. Nice job.

Thread: Random Thoughts

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Caniac555</b></div><div>The Staal trade is not good</div></div>

I think his reasoning is that (a) Staal is 30 and signed for 4 more years, whereas Bjugstad is 26 and signed for only two more, and (b) Bjugstad is right-handed and can play RW, too.

Give it some further consideration. But don't ask me -- I don't know enough about either player or your team to lodge a truly informed opinion.

Thread: What is CapFriendly's Disciplinary Process for Frivolous Complaints?

I am outraged that some newbie ignoramus called me a troll and then “reported” me for an “infraction” because I responded by telling him not to post in any of my team constructions any more. How does CapFriendly police such false accusations?

For the record, the jerk made a demonstrably and incontrovertibly incorrect statement about the mathematics of computing odds. I (foolishly) tried to educate him and to three lengthy comments of mine, he replied with an increasing level of ignorance and finally said “Go away troll.” Trolling involves an element of deception, i.e., offering a statement known to be false in an effort to generate a response. The only thingI did was point out why his math was wrong.

Ah, now I see. But then the net result of the entire transaction appears to me to be a "savings" of less than $250,000 -- does that really help Chicago?

Thread: My official mock draft one week before draft

Hard to argue with anything here, Sammy, but keep an eye out for Lassi Thomson -- especially at #29 if he's still on the board.
