Thread: Trading Dillon and Melker
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Vorg_Vaarg</b></div><div>Not bad but why Pominvile and why is Gambrell on the 2nd line over Labanc? Gambrell has never even scored in the regular season, he is nowhere near ready for top six minutes. Marleau and Pominville takes time away from our young guys that need a chance like True and Chekhovich. I really hope Doug avoids veterans like patty and pominville.</div></div>

I am not as hopeful about Sharks org prospects like Chekhovich and True jumping to the main team already. Or not at least just yet. Chekhovich is turning into a full-time pro next season and I'd like to see him get used to that first. It's the same with Chmelevski. Then again, if they can show next week and during the training camp later this summer/early fall that they have what it takes to make the jump, I'm more than happy to prefer taking them first over Pominville. Then again, I think True is pretty close to making the main team. That would slot him as the 4th line and Goodrow would be the right winger then. And I like Goodrow as a winger. But even if Pominville didn't join the team, there would still be the question about who takes the last right winger slot. I do think Gambrell is the closest one but I do hope a prospect like Chmelevski could be it. That would allow slotting Gambrell as the 4th line C.

Thread: Labanc for Bertuzzi
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jrdroge25</b></div><div>New Jersey may be looking for a winger. What would you want from NJ for Labanc? We have 3 second round picks this year and a few moveable prospects.</div></div>

Actually, when I thought about trading Labanc I made a list of teams who may want to trade for him, Devils came to my mind pretty fast. Especially due to your need for wingers and having those three 2nd round picks. As a rebuilding team, I don't suggest you trade your #34 pick. The value of it will be quite good due to some projected 1st round players will drop to the 2nd round. There may be guys like Puistola, Vlasic, etc. to grab for good value.

I would like to see either a package including Bratt or two of your later 2nd round picks, #55 and #61. Don't know what would be the correct value but I think those two options would be pretty. Then again, I don't know if you should even trade Bratt due to your lack of good wingers like you said NJ may be looking for one. So then it would leave those two 2nd round picks as an option, don't know if it needs anything else to add to that. What do you think? Also, I'm not pretty knowledgeable of Devils' prospect pool.

Thread: Moves and signings to keep the gang together
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TheBeardOfBurns</b></div><div>underpaid a lot of players</div></div>

Meier and Labanc - sure, I could see them getting a tad higher value that what I've envisioned here. But then again, these are 2-year bridge contracts and I could see Doug Wilson doing some magic with the negotiations. But yeah, you're right, these aren't contracts that are reasonable for players.

Thornton's contract is something I don't like, I really want to give him 2,5M-3M but when it's Jumbo I can see him taking a deep pay cut.

Many people here wants to trade Dillon and Dell. I don't see Dell having any value on the market and Dillon is an asset I really, really want to keep. It's going to be a tough off-season. Pavelski is a big question mark.
