Thread: deadline option
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>richu12</b></div><div>Backes and a first seems to be ok (if you look at the Marleau-trade). But we have no interest in Moore since we let him go... So Palms remains a Devil.</div></div>

Marleau is not a good comp.
He said he wouldn't play for anyone but SJ or Tor.
His actually salary was 6m w/ 6m cap hit.
Backes' is 4m with 6m cap hit.

Most teams (that would take him on) don't really care about the cap hit and might need the cap hit. They don't want real money going out the door.

Toronto was desperate to get the deal done to sign their guys. They needed funds immediately to be in a position to match offers. They really didn't want to have another Nylander situation with Marner.

Although the $ would be nice for the Bruins, their cap is in much better shape.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Bcarlo25</b></div><div>A buy out doesn’t make any sense. It’s more likely he would be buried. If he’s choosing between a bottom dweller NHL team and the possibility of them retaining salary and trading him, or playing in the AHL, guess what he’ll pick?

Bus rides, or charter jets....hmmmm</div></div>

I think it depends on what the cost would be to take him on. It's a deep draft, and there is no way Sweeney parts with a 1st for someone to take Backes deal. His restrictions lighten up next year and he is exposed to 50% of the teams. I think they would buy him out because burying him won't save them any cap space (minimal, 1m), so no real reason unless he is blocking deals.

4m cap hit in 2021
1m cap hit in 2022

My guess is Backes 25% retained (1.5 - 1 year) &amp; one of (senyshyn, Kuhlman, Cehlarik, Zboril) and a 3rd for a 6th or 7th to whatever team (ott) and they buy him out. He signs with contender (STL) for min.

Bruins give up a decent RFA (who they won't be able to protect in expansion anyway &amp; guys who moving down the depth chart) and a 3rd to gain 4.5m in cap space.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mondo</b></div><div>leivo was traded so he could play in the nhl lmao

why are you angry about thinking bracco would be a decent nhl player? i'm not suggesting that this trade is fair value for him (moreso because idk who nedeljkovic is).

also major lol on that last point. if the cap keeps going up it's inevitable that a team wins with a player making over 10 million.

i hope i never get as mad as you do over capfriendly posts.</div></div>

Not mad, Sorry. It's amusing more than anything.
So the Leafs just wanted to do Leivo a solid against what was best for their team. Right. why?
why not bring him up and pass on the game changing Tyler Ennis or Par lindholm.
again, not angry about Bracco whatsoever. Not one bit. He just won't be a solid middle six NHL'er. He won't and Leafs fans think he can return a starting goalie, top 4 d or top 6 winger. He can't. He can return another career minor leaguer.

I hope I am never as delusional as you.

Thread: The Nuclear Option
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MG1986</b></div><div>It's easy to be a guy that's critical of his and his own team's performance. However, when you make the most on this team and appear to take half the game off, and show minimal effort on the back-heck, I'd have no problem trading you. That, of course, all refers to Auston Matthews. If you intend to make a deal involving him though, I think you can get a better deal trading him on his own, then with others, even though his cap hit might be a problem. In a past AGM, I proposed Auston Matthews for Ryan O'Reilly and Colton Parayko. Some people liked the deal, some people didn't :P but that's more of a deal I'm looking for. I do not think Columbus is the ideal fit, unless they were willing to take Matthews for Seth Jones, Josh Anderson and 1st rounder.</div></div>


You vastly undervalue players on other teams. Seth Jones - A 25 year old Stud of a dman on a great contract has more value than an often injured underachieving Center.

Since Matthews has entered the league he has exactly 17 more points than O'reilly. In that Time O'Reilly has Won a Selke, a Conn Smyth &amp; A CUP. He also finished top 11 in Selke in the three fulls seaons and will likely again this year.

17 points is not worth one of the top 10-15 dmen in the league. Parayko is about as valueable as Matthews especially when factoring in CAP Hits.

Matthews would draw 100% of the tough defensive matchups rather than Tavares

As for your CBJ Trade - I love leafs fans. They have all the superior players, yet that can't get out of the 1st round. Meanwhile Jones and co are making Tampa look like fools.

You are trying to get the best players from more successful teams for an underachieving player who can't win and is vastly overpaid. Stop treating him like he is anywhere near the player McDavid is. Matthews is less than a PPG for his career (.979) while McDavid is 1.33 ppg and although Draisaitl is a beast I think everyone can agree the Leafs have the advantage in offensive talent/help.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MaxDomi13</b></div><div><a href="/users/Salzy" target="_blank">@Salzy</a> CBJ needs offense real bad, kerfoot can play 2nd line and johnsson 1st

Ceci can play 2nd pair D</div></div>

You are delusional.

Jones and Matthews have similar values. Probably give Jones a slight advantage, but real close. Top pairing D men don't come around too often, especially when they are on a great deal for two more years.
Meanwhile Matthews is getting paid double that. All that for a guy who has reached 70pts once. The talent is there no doubt, but he has one 70 point season.

Dubois is the next best player by far. Not even close.

Jenner, Johnsson and Kerfoot are all in the same ballpark. Kerfoot is not a 2nd line center. He is on pace for 27pts per 82 games this season and has a career high of 43pts. He is 25, maybe a little growth, but he is heading in the wrong direction. There is a reason the Avs traded him. FYI - Boone Jenner is 26 and a career high of 49pts (30 goals)

Johnsson has had one decent season.

Jones has the most value in this deal.


Ceci has negative value.

Thread: DRAFT IS RIGGED
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>habs_fan123</b></div><div>it would make perfect sense

the draft is trying to give lower market teams the big superstars to build up a fanbase and exicitement in that city therefore bringing in more money

so the senators would make sense because they are in desperate need of a star

although montreal is not a lower market team

the hype and the increase of sales would be insane .

plus like it just makes sense</div></div>

That's not how it works. The revenue sharing eliminates that. They would rather have the big stars in big markets. No offense, but being a virtual nobody (Overstatement) in LA is going to bring more attention and money than being the most popular guy in OTT.

McDavid is the perfect example. That dude should be a household name &amp; he's not because he plays in Edmonton.

Thread: will he be a HOF
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>masterjuddi</b></div><div>I think Marchand has a shot if his pace keeps up and gets close to 800 points (currently at 559) with maybe winning another cup and continuing his individual success in the playoffs. Plus his international record is pretty special (4 combined GOLD in WJC, IIHF and World Cup). Maybe his rat face and reputation keep him out? Idk</div></div>

Marchand should finish his career with close to 1000pts.

Currently at 601 - these are all very low estimates in my opinion.
let's say he gets 100 again this year (On pace for 143.5 this year, so fair IMO) That bring him to 659.
32 years old - 80pts next year - 739
33 years old - 75 pts = 814
34 years old - 60pts = 874
35 years old - 50pts = 924
36, 37, 38 - = 25pts each = 999
