Thread: Pivot to Boldy
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JeffGorton</b></div><div>The value equivalent of 5 1st rounders isnt enticing. Buddy you are gonna be disappointed if he gets traded</div></div>

Bull.

That's the current 11th ova (CAL), 23rd ova (WPG), and a future 1st in a much weaker draft. So a mid-level 1st. A late 1st. And a 1st that only matters if it's a top 5 pick next year, or it holds no interest, given how top heavy next years draft is.

Furthermore... none of Xhekaj, Struble, Harris, or Engstrom are remotely worth a 1st round pick. Don't make me laugh.

He might not get the *equivalent* of a better offer. But it's going to take a better offer than that to get it done. More quality, less quantity.

He's UNTOUCHABLE. Even if he were available, Minnesota isn't rebuilding, it starts with Montreal's 1st THIS year plus another high-end piece like Dach or Huston. If you insist on sending a lower 1st that isn't in the top 5, that prospect is going to be Slafkovsky.

Thread: New Look Caps
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mikesmo16</b></div><div>A prospect that could very well be the next Faber, a veteran defensemen, and a second rounder. Not JUST Chesley.
Caps need to win now, not so much for the Wild. We can't wait for D men to get to the NHL. Ovi only has 2 more years left on his deal. Maybe 1 more (I think he signs a 1 year deal) after that. Faber would fit the need for a young defensemen who can help win now, but also grow into the future.</div></div>

Are you daft?

Minnesota DOES NOT CARE if Ovi plays one more year, or two, or four, or if he's the next Jagr.

Minnesota is NOT trading a 21 year old #1D. A kid that has turned the Calder race from a forgone conclusion to a legitimate debate. Against Bedard of all f'ing people, and who would be the clear-cut winner if Bedard wasn't in it as well.

They're not moving a Legitimate 1D at age 21 for a <em>maybe</em>. Faber will only be TWENTY-THREE by the time Minnesota's buyouts end and the team will be ready for true contention for the cup in 25-26.

You want a young stud 1D? Well too bad. He's not available. In fact. He's untouchable.

Well, not unless we're getting McDavid back anyway.

Guerin, DOES NOT CONSIDER THIS.

Furthermore, you're also completely missing the point of what Motzko was saying. His ONLY point was that Chesley plays a similar style of defensive game as Faber. HE WAS NOT IMPLYING THAT CHESLEY HAD THE SAME UPSIDE.

There is a MASSIVE difference between playing hockey in a similar manner, how they play/think the game, and having the same level of potential. Don't confuse his words for something he wasn't saying.
