Thread: An Eichel Trade
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>PhatRas</b></div><div>To the point of signing Tkachuk, if he has a shot at 9 million next year I think it would be tough to convince him to sign for less but I get your point. That's awesome about Reinhart, I have always liked him as a player and a guy I would be over the moon to see on the Flames.</div></div>

Yeah I can see why he would take 1 year at 9 million and run to free agency... but he wasn't worth it this season and if he has a similar production season next year then he's looking at like 5 million in free agency like Hall will be next year... Getting 7.5 x 5 right now is the safe bet for him and it only takes him to 29 where he can cash in on another deal wherever he wants at that time. I take 7.5 x 5 over 9 x 1 every day of the week and twice on Sunday when I'm coming off a down year.

Thread: An Eichel Trade
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>PhatRas</b></div><div>I think there would be a younger D man in that trade than Tanev, probably one of Andersson or VAlimaki. Second part is that Buffalo does not get a C in return, from what I have read Reinhart just doesn't cut it. Third you would have to pay Tkachuk 9 million a year because of his qualifying offer.</div></div>

I would agree but Tanev is one of the top 2 D on Calgary. I would be fine with a top pair D. Reinhart absolutely does cut it. The people that say he doesn't are off their rockers. 16 games at C this season he has 10 goals and 15 points. He's also played well defensively. Lastly, you only have to pay him that much if it goes to qualification. He can sign for anything at anytime after July 27th this year when the next "season" starts.

Thread: Flames Fans Will Be Disappointed with Slow Off Season
The Sens aren't looking to be in a perpetual rebuild. The whole point of drafting and hoarding prospects is to turn them into impact NHL players, and that's finally what the Drake has become. Short of trading for Jack Eichel (which Ottawa should not do) there's no world where the Sens trade Batherson.

Also even from a value perspective I don't think it's fair. Maybe for a guy who is 26 and has plateaud as a 25ish, 50ish point guy (which is roughly what Drake is on pace for), that would be fair value. Drake is still only 22 (albeit only for another 12 hours) and I feel confident that he's still got a good amount to grow. I think he be a guy who regularly scores 30 goals, and 60+ points as a bonafide 1st line RW. He's just not a guy you give up on.

Thread: Seattle Protection Lists
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Dzinger18</b></div><div>No way we protect Geekie. He has got all the chances he needs and he has proven he can't put up numbers. I'd rather protect someone like Niederreiter who can contribute every night despite his slight overpayment.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>EsoYeezus69</b></div><div>Switch Dickinson with Faksa and it’s all good here.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>PhatRas</b></div><div>I think there is a pretty strong understanding that Lucic will waive for the expansion draft, I don't think he would get taken but Treliving did not have to reinstate his NMC after the trade and that's why from day one of that trade it's been assumed that he waives.
If he doesn't it would be reeeallllyy tough to see Backlund go.</div></div>

Thanks for the input!
I will edit those now!
