Thread: Actual Scoring Depth for 23-24
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Pjreifii</b></div><div>Disagree on too much for TK. As mentioned in the other comments on the thread, if Flyers were to add retention it's honestly a pretty balanced offer. Maybe too much that we want to pay, but not too much for actual value.

Name an available 3C that will help scoring. Do you want Staal or Compher for a cup run next year?</div></div>

I think people get mixed up in the fact that TK will be extremely sought after because the UFA class is weak. If TK is truly available he will be one of the best available on the market which means many teams will put bids in for him. Is this offer an overpay? I mean yeah but at the same time bidding wars drive the price up on players all of the time. That’s just how sports work. 7 GM’s were willing to offer a 1st for Risto when the flyers got him so the flyers had to overpay to acquire him. Has it worked out? No but TK is miles better of a hockey player than Risto lol

Thread: Flyers Fan
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Pjreifii</b></div><div>I agree with you. My fear as a Canes fan is that long-term success and deep runs in the playoffs with this mindset is what ownership ultimately would prefer over paying big bucks to win a Stanley Cup one year and miss out on being set up for the future. I fear the goal is a contender for 30 years with no cups, rather than a contender for 10 years with 3 cups. Maybe that works in Toronto, but IDK how long it will work in Raleigh.

Julian BriseBois in Tampa has built a really good team and has obviously been pretty close to dynasty level for the last few years, but that team is going to be in big trouble in about 5-6 years. They have no prospects and no picks to fill up their prospect pool. They're going to get bad and old and have to make some TDL deals on pending UFA's for guys like Stamkos, Kuch, and Point to refill that pool or be very crafty in FA in order to find any more long-term success without a rebuild and I think their owner is cool with that. I don't know if Tom Dundon is cool with that.

Nothing to do with CapFriendly, just some thoughts on the Canes franchise that I'm sure nobody gives af about lol</div></div>

No I totally agree with all of ur points and frankly I’d rather win 1 Stanley cup and not make the playoffs for the next 20 years than contender for 30 years with nothing to show for it. Sure Toronto teams are fun to watch in the regular season but give me a Florida/Carolina/Dallas/Vegas dream run over any of those Toronto teams. The game is about winning if you don’t go for it all at some point then what’s the point?

Thread: Sign Necas
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Caniac2000</b></div><div>I'd rather have Coghlan playing that Heinola. Heinola over Chatfield is a debate we can have, but I wouldn't be using futures to move deals right now. I really want to see what Gardiner is at this point, and while I think Martinook deserves to be fired into the sun, we freed him from Arizona, let's not send him back there. Florida has a huge rocket launching site, let's send him there.</div></div>

Sorry my originally comment was pretty sarcastic and I didn’t mean to be a dick about it. I agree with your plan to fire Martinook into the sun, but I find it odd that you don’t think the Sun would demand draft compensation in the Deal. Also I have to think the NHLPA is opposed to firing players into the sun along with the US and Canadian governments. It’s very likely that firing a player into the sun would be considered murder. Smh.
