Thread: Pure fun

Subban is not moving anytime soon. His NTC has kicked in, and I doubt he wants to go through the same as last off season. Plus, Nashville got the golden ticket when they picked him up. Easily the most marketable player in the NHL today. Plus, he would not be on the 3rd pairing. LOL

I don't think foote would be ready for multiple years, let alone for next season... Would be a mistake to throw him to the wolves at his age.

If they managed to get more, it wouldn't be much more than that. Smith is 35, overpaid, declining, and injury prone. Not a good mix for a goalie.

I don't get the Sharp hype... He's older and has had injury issues all year. He's not worth 4.5M and certainly not worth a 2 year gamble.

Thread: Ducks Luck

I doubt Bieksa will waive his NMC for the expansion draft. He is at the cup chasing part of his career, and Vegas won't have a shot.

Thread: cup team

Why would Vegas take Depres? That's wishful thinking. The ducks will have to expose one of Fowler, Manson, Lindholm, and Vatanen for defense. Any of those are more likely to be picked than Depres.

I'd prefer Dermott over either. If they want to win, they should go run and gun offense. An older blueliner won't help them

Thread: Opening Night Roster 2017/2018

Not bad, but a couple moves are highly unlikely.

I doubt they will get both Dumba and Franson. I think they value Kapanen and Carrick a lot more than most fans do. If they sign Franson, they will not go out and get Dumba, because that would bury Carrick. Dumba was also exposed a lot this year on the Wild's blue line from what I've seen.

Sharp is too expensive, and he is too ineffective to play first line minutes.

Thread: Big Name

While you're right, they have to get people in the arena, this would never happen. They will not get rid of their top picks for the next two years to bring on an aging star. They know they need to be competitive quickly, but they also want to win. Giving up their next two years drafts for one player would be a terrible idea, unless that player was Connor McDavid. If Ovechkin was 10 years younger, it might happen.

Probably because Fehr isn't really a good player anymore... He had that on the PENGUINS. The top scoring team in the league...

The team loves Polak. He also has above average possession stats. Not a top defender like you said, but top 4 is very arguable. The MacDonald contract is a definite sticking point though. Team has cap space now, don't waste it on bums.

If they'd flip out Martin for Leivo they could run 4 lines all day. I'd be okay with Thornton on the 4th line, but not with Matt Martin. Leivo/Thornton/Kapanen would be a very entertaining line.

Thread: Clearing Yzerman's Bad Contracts

Toronto won't take Cal Foote. They're more likely to take Hague if they are going to take a D. They most certainly wouldn't move a second round pick to move up 3 spots, especially if you consider both players mentioned are predicted to be available in the 20s...

Ekholm will not be moved, especially for picks. Nashville wants to win now. They are competitive and he's on a very team friendly contract. Wont happen.

Tampa will have to pay a premium to dump salary like Callahan too, not likely going to get a fourth. Likely a 6th/7th with a 4th going the other way to Ottawa.

Thread: Kovalchuk Trade

Leaving Marchessault unprotected is plain dumb. I'd protect Trochek, Bjugstad, Smith, Huberdeau, Sceviour, and Marchessault as forwards. I'd expose Jokinen and MacKenzie as the forwards under contract. Jokinen will not be picked, $4m for a 34 year old winger is too steep. Exposing Jagr, a UFA, is not a risk as he chooses where he wants to play next year.

I agree with the Koivu sentiment, but I think for JEE to succeed, you have to play him with the best players possible. He's a top 6 quality player, not a grinder type you stick on the bottom 2 lines. If you plan on keeping him in the bottom 6 you may as well keep him in the AHL. Also, the wild will not Re-Sign Hanzal. The owner said publicly they regret that trade...

Faulk is a first pair defender. No way does CAR trade him AND a pick for a 2C + 3W

Forum: Armchair-GMMay 17, 2017 at 11:50 a.m.

Thread: Sabres 12 Read Team Explanation

Justin Faulk is one of the best defensemen in the league today, although very underrated in the media. It will take a heck of a lot more than a player like Evander Kane to get him. He's a solid goal scorer, but has had more than his share of issues off the ice.

Carolina would not take that risk. Fowler is likely going to cost more than that, although I don't know how.

In order to trade Gorges, they'll have to eat some salary for sure. Whether it's a bad contract, or retaining salary, that won't be a straight up trade.
