Thread: what a Saros to CAR trade would look like
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SnipeRV</b></div><div>The ask from LA was starting with Byfield and a 1st. If Saros gets dealt it takes this. But I agree that is Carolina doesn't like this ask Saros just stays put or goes to a higher bidder.</div></div>

You should look up comparable goalie trades in the last 10 years. Do you know how many of them turn up players like Necas and Byfield? Absolutely 0. How many return 1st rounders? Like 5.

the Avs traded for Kuemper in their cup winning year for Timmins (a serviceable Dman with a bad injury history), a 1st (31st OA), and a 3rd.

If you're trading for a player you think is a dynamic center, Saros is going to be the start, and you're going to add a lot to it.

Goalies just don't have that value. The position is too variable game to game, year to year.

Thread: Number 5 pick for a number 1 pick
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>seanrushton</b></div><div>A sub-average goalie, a prospect, and 2nd for a young NHL-ready goalie is not a good deal for us.</div></div>

Remind me again how many games Alex "goalie of the future" Nedeljkovic played for the Hurricanes before they traded him to Detroit for a 3rd round pick? 27. The exact same number than Kochetkov has played. The kid is still a rookie.

The contract is great, yeah. But Allen is serviceable, and they'll likely re-sign Freddie. Xehkaj played almost 16 min. a night for the Canadiens, and that second rounder is pick number 37 next year, which can help them bring in a goal scorer.

It's certainly one of the better trades I've seen on here. I'm much less tied to goalies than skaters.

Thread: Offersheet Timo Meier
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Falcon_talon</b></div><div>Bye bye Aho and Pesce :(</div></div>

I don't necessarily think so, depending on what contracts those players are comfortable with. I think if you try and get Pesce/Skjei in at or under $13M, you do Aho at $10.5M longterm, Jarvis at $4.5-5M bridged, Necas at $7M. That's $35.5M worst case, which is exactly to cap for 2024-25 without an increase. We'd lost Teuvo, and we wouldn't have room to sign Drury, Chatfield, Martinook, Noesen, etc.

I'd probably bring in a depth dman instead of Soucy like DeHaan, or have Fensore play if it meant being able to keep a few of those guys. then you would have +/- $3M to add to Slavin's contract the next year, and all this is just a few years out from what is likely a significant cap increase.

It's doable. Maybe a big spend, but your top six is Aho, Svech, Necas, Meier, Jarvis, KK, and you still have Staal, and Barbashev in the wings. We have loads of depth guys to help our bottom 6, and your defense is locked in.
