Thread: Crazy All In
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Eli</b></div><div>First impression: WOW is that a lot of even strength scoring!

Second look: you traded for Alex Galchenyuk, a young thirty goal scorer. He immediately becomes the best goal scorer on your team. And you didn't find room for him in your top six or on special teams. Lucky you underpaid for him!</div></div>

With all due respect, I don't think he would be the best goal scorer on our team. I'd take Forsberg ahead of him. At center, where he wants to be and NSH would need him, I'd put him third behind RyJo and Turris since I think they're better 2-way options. The beauty with these lines is that there's really no true 1st, 2nd, 3rd line. Notice that Forsberg (our best offensive player) is on the third line too. It's a great, balanced lineup that one could do so many different things with but would never actually happen. I just like Galch better than Patches but something tells me Patch's asking price will be higher than Galch's for some stupid reason. I'd take either if they could be had at that price, or heck, in this crazy scenario, I'd add another first or Sissons or anything.

Thread: NSH Goes After Patches
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Price_is_the_goat</b></div><div>yeah, but we have depth at wing. we need a center. center and a defenseman.</div></div>

If that's the price, then the trade isn't happening with NSH. I don't see the Preds trading Jarnkrok, Turris, or RyJo, and the Habs probably don't want anyone else (Bonino, Sissons, Gaudreau, etc.). I would gladly do Petterson, Fabbro, and a 1st, but I doubt Habs fans would be pleased with that. I heard earlier last week that the price was 1. scoring winger 2. top prospect and 3. 1st round Pick, but maybe I'm remembering wrong. If I was Bergevin, I would take this if Patches has to be traded before the deadline unless some other team like the Blues just goes absolutely crazy with their offer.

Thread: NSH Gets Hoffman and Tolvanen
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CMac66</b></div><div>Hard no for Ottawa, they have a 3rd line centre already. However, I would take Fabbro plus Smith as a cap dump to start something. Preds would be even more deadly. Even still I hope they don't trade Hoffman.</div></div>

I can see that argument. Looking back, Allard wasn't a good enough prospect to offer. I would probably do like Aberg, Carrier, Bonino, and the 1st. Smith is on pace for 30 goals this year and is showing great chemistry on that line, so I don't think we'd try to get rid of him. Carrier is our second best D prospect. We gave up Girard earlier this year, so I doubt GMDP wants to lose the two best D prospects in the same year with Fabbro. Aberg has potential, but maybe a change where he can have a top 6 role would be good for him. Bonino remains the dump for me. I was thinking Emelin, but I'm not a huge fan of the options after him right now. I agree with your assessment that the original wasn't as fair after looking more into Allard. I think this one is much better though.

Thread: Moves so NSH can beat TBL!
Personally, I don't like any of these trades. Maybe I have rose-colored glasses on, but I really think Tolvanen can help us this year. Patches is a near-elite player in the right situation, but i think Tolvanen has that eventual potential if not more. Also, I think I remember Patches and PK not getting along very well in Montreal but maybe that was just a rumor. If true though, I would definitely not bring Patches in. I love Hornqvist, but with his age and contract situation, I wouldn't do the trade for Smith or Jarnkrok. Smith has been great with Kyle Turris and Jarnkrok is extremely underrated in my opinion. The last trade is interesting. I don't know much about Wideman, but looking at his career stats, I don't like this trade. I'm not as sold on Aberg as other Preds fans. The talent is there but he cant' seem to put it together. That said, NSH is loaded on the blueline and still has some good prospects, so I think if NSH were to trade Aberg, they should get a Forward back.
