Thread: A Random Senators Rebuild
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>P1zzaPolarBear</b></div><div>Yeah, I noticed the UFA signing too, quite a bit looking back on it. Dadanov could probably go for less, I agree with that now, but I traded the likes of Forsburg because he's mediocre, just like in Chicago, plus it would give way for Gustavsson, then I traded away Mandolese because his stats were not very good, plus C.Gibson is looking better then him.</div></div>
Gibson is a 28yo AHL journeyman who is a decent 3rd stringer at best. Mandolese is a 20yo rookie pro who only played 9 games and is only a year removed from QMJHL goalie of the year. And the whole point of having forsberg is to let gustavsson develop in the ahl for another year to work on his consistency (and get more reps than he would as a backup), as well as give him some competition for the backup job so nobody gets gifted anything.

Thread: Another Random Kings Rebuild
I like the effort. Couple of pieces of constructive criticism currently.

1) The most blatant is Roy only going for a 2nd round pick. He's currently worth more than that by a significant amount. He wouldn't bring back what Muzzin brought (1st, roster player, prospect), but it's closer to that than just a second. Even then, the Kings likely wouldn't trade him, and Brandon Montour is a straight downgrade.

2) I like the idea of Vince Dunn much more than I like the idea of Keith Yandle. Yandle struggled to stay in the lineup for Florida, and now you're throwing him on the top pair with Doughty. I think his top-line days are long gone.

3) Calgary says no to that trade in a heartbeat, as others have already suggested.

4) Saad is a good addition, and the contract isn't terrible. Danault, on the other hand, doesn't have a place in LA. With Byfield likely to make the team next year (they won't send him back to juniors after a year of playing in the AHL), and Vilardi, the team is set for those two to battle for 2C and 3C. Your 4C spot will be taken by Jaret Anderson-Dolan, who had a very good showing this past year and has earned a roster spot. Other centers soon to fight for a roster spot include Kupari, Turcotte, Akil Thomas, etc. So Danault just doesn't make sense. If anything, I'd take what you offered him, and find a different winger to try to give some more scoring touch in the top-6.

5) Alex Laferriere =/= Alexis Lafreniere. The kid just finished his season in the USHL, and I doubt he's even ready for the AHL much less the NHL. He won't jump over wingers like Kaliyev or ****emo, who will both come to camp looking to push players like Austin Wagner or Brendan Lemieux out of roster spots.
