Thread: Habs should at least consider trading Guhle
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jonh514</b></div><div>Listen it's debatable for sure but... When you look at the total number of shots and the shooting percentages, I have a very hard time thinking Caufield won't out-score Boldy next year.</div></div>
I don't see what would lead you to believe that.

Let's discount this season as far as shooting percentage goes because it's obvious from the fall-off in Caufield's that he hasn't made a complete recovery from his surgery yet. His historical shooting/scoring rate is 14.1%. Boldy's is 12.6%. Assuming each player takes 330 shots next season, that's five goals in Caufield's favor. Given the 50% disparity in assists in Boldy's favor and the fact that he plays with Kirill Kaprizov, I think that Caufield's goal surplus is likely to be swallowed up in the overall comparison. And it should also be noted that Boldy took almost 90 fewer shots this season than Caufield did.

Matt Boldy is one of the most underrated players in the NHL right now.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SimonVenell</b></div><div>He just put up 21 goals and 40 points as a rookie who missed a full year of development due to a heart condition. He played some of the year with good line mates and other parts of the year with not so good line mates. He is going to be a perennial 55+ point player for a long time. He's worth way more than what this offer has his value at.</div></div>
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JPM</b></div><div>Is Rossi that good? I wouldn’t do that trade for him. Laughton would probably be worth more at trade deadline, definitely was with the going price for centers.</div></div>

The health bit really cant be emphasized enough. He very well could have died through covid and then overcoming the mental aspects while youve been physically limited for so long.. I wouldnt wish that on anyone.

I'm a Sens fan but watch a lot of 67's game and the CHL cancelling the playoffs really took an opportunity away from Quinn and Rossi to showcase their talents on the biggest stage. Likely wouldve won the league and competed for a Memorial Cup. All that to say he's been dealt the short end of the stick consistently since he's been drafted and as much as Quinn is coveted by the Sabres and every trade involving him gets torn to shreds by Sabres fans, I think Rossi may still be better. Give him time to catch up on the missed development but i think he can do more than 55/season, very few players i root for more than him.

I know Zamula and Lauhgton are good pieces for Philly but this trade would be a steal.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MNCountryClub</b></div><div>Hard to say what it would take for Rossi. I do think Guerin is taking calls on him this summer, but with another year of 14.7M in dead cap and Rossi having 1 more on his ELC, there's no urgency or incentive.

My best guess is that he'd be looking for a young d-man or a termed scoring winger, but who knows.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>FloppyBiscuit</b></div><div>Rossi is worth around what you'd value Foerster. Same age, similar production. They should just stick with him, but if they were to trade him, I'd say a top-6 winger would be great to get Mojo out of there. Although Yurov, Ohgren, and Heidt may make waiting a year or two the more pertinent move.</div></div>


Why are the Wild moving one of their two good centers for another winger? Let's make it make sense.

Thread: Offseason Rossi Trade
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Danny_MrGM_Briere</b></div><div>I get that but they do get Frost back. Maybe switch in another young guy instead of Marat but I wanted him because he and Michkov both played on Sochi in this KHL season</div></div>
You're just not getting Marco Rossi out of the Wild. He's projected to be their #2C of the future and he hasn't disappointed them yet.

You have to admit that so far, Frost doesn't look like more than a bottom-6 center and he turns 25 next month, which means that whatever team holds his rights next summer is going to have to decide after only one season the length and size of his long-term contract or else trade him. With that reality in mind, I can see the possibility of Minnesota exchanging the three-years-younger Kiss-My-Thing-Off for Frost, but if either of the two has a future as a top-6 center, it's the Russian, not Frost.
