Thread: Mtl - Van the draft
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GuyGuyGuy</b></div><div>Milheyev is a useful fourth liner making 5m. That’s a cap dump. Anderson is a fourth liner making 5,5m. You have to take into account the retention, wich is very valuable these days.

Dach did that in 30 less games than Suter. He is clearly a second liner</div></div>

Mikheyev is a 3rd liner who can play in the top 6 if necessary. At worst he’s a good bottom 6 player who provides good defense and PK ability. He’s also in his first year post ACL surgery which has played a part into his struggles this season

Anderson is a 4th liner who is also awful defensively. Even with the retention down to 4.675M he’d have significant negative value

Until Dach can stay healthy and produce at a 2nd line level I wouldn’t call him a locked in 2C. And coming back from a major knee injury like his is tough. His trade value right now is at an all time low

Overall in this deal the Canucks lose cap space, get significantly worse on the wing, and lose a valuable cheap middle 6 player just so they can take a risk on a guy who has a high ceiling but low floor with his injury history. It doesn’t make sense from our perspective

Thread: Ari - Car at the draft
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>PenguinMullet68</b></div><div>Draft picks, cap space and a better goalie then who they currently have</div></div>

Vejmelka has only had a better season than Raanta, which of the Canes 4 NHL level goalies this season, that would rank Vejmelka behind Kochetkov, Andersen, and Martin. Please tell me, in what way is Vejmelka better than either of Andersen or Kochetkov?

O’Brien is nothing more than a 4th line goon. Canes already have Lemiuex as their physical 4th liner. Jenik is an AHLer, which would not hurt to bring in assuming that the Canes are getting their AHL affiliation back in the offseason, but he doesn’t have any value at the NHL level. It’s just not worth it.

Besides, if the Canes truly needed cap space, and under the assumption that they don’t have confidence in KK, a buyout saves them a lot more cap space, rather than taking back about 600k less cap in this scenario.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Element23VM</b></div><div>I pay neither of this for Markstrom... I don't even want that goaltender as per I think he's a choker like Ullmark

I hope Calgary fans get what they hope for in Markstrom, but I hope NJ has nothing to do with this guy. I don't mean any disrespect, I just utterly hate that goaltender and see him as a curse.</div></div>

Got you, don't really think it makes sense either, especially when Allen is playing fine, but apparently NJ is still in on a goaltender, so it'd be smart to take advantage of that.
It's been a kind of a roller coaster with him in Calgary, at times reminding me of Mike Smith how my heart would skip a beat everytime he left the crease, but when he's solid, he's like SOLID.
