Thread: Next Year
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>WN88</b></div><div>Toronto actually sends their 2026 pick. And contract status is irrelevant if you’re an RFA. In fact, it can be more desirable for a team because they can choose how much they want to pay the player they want to acquire (assuming no arb), rather than acquiring a player and possibly needing a 3rd-party team retain. Regardless, kind of a bizarre thing to fixate on out of this entire post lol.</div></div>

No just I noticed you didn't seem to eager to add good players on expiring contracts.... Both Lillejgren and Robertson would have arbitration rights.... Nothing to fixate on just I noticed you figured Ottawa would give up a pick 3 spots away and will have to pay both more than what they made this year.... But the Leaf pick has players with money retained and on a good contract with good term.... Just to point out why it's unrealistic. Teams don't look for guys with expiring RFA contracts for a reason.

Really? <div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>YesThisIsFlo</b></div><div>God damn that Colorado trade is so one-sided.

You've lost the plot if you think someone's contract situation drains that much value.

Completely unrealistic, my man. That's a ludicrous deal.</div></div>

How is it unrealistic? How many points do you think Tkachukl gets playing alongside MacKinnon? His usual 80 points or so? Try 90-95 points.... which would be like 10 points less than Rantanen.... Rantanen doesn't fight, is never near the league lead in hits, and shots.... Brady is top 5 in both every single season. He is the game's best power forward and it isn't even close. They get Brady for 4 years at $8.2M.... Colorado will get 10 more points for $4M more in cap hit, receive less hits, less intimidation, Brady fights.... The issue is, Ottawa has done too much losing and the point is to get aherad of him asking for a trade.... Rantanen who has his cup will take the overpayment to play here. Otttawa losing so much put themselves in that spot. If anything it's a deal Ottawa doesn't do and roll the dice they make the playoffs. But if a deal like that came up, I'd consider it.....

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>athrin</b></div><div>OTT dont want rentanen who will want 12M+ on his next contract

EDM dont have the assets too acquire chych they decline.</div></div>

Brady is nearing that place where it's time to ask for a trade out of Ottawa.... If that happens? We likely get a very small package back for him. Rantanen will be expensive, but has a cup ring, can be a 100 point player but will be paid equally for what he produces. Yes Brady will provide better bang for the buck at his current salary but like I said, if Ottawa fails to make the playoffs next season he might start hinting he wants out. Moving him to Colorado for that package ensures we get solid pieces for him. Most of Colorado's fans don't see that Rantanen scores 104 points playing next to MacKinnon... Brady is basically an 80 point player playing with Norris and Pinto....ROLMFAO.... Like if Brady was playing nexct to MacKinnon he's still likely to hover around the 80 point mark..... ROFLAMO.... He'd be close to 90-95 points, lead the league in hits, fights, shots.... Where does Rantanen fit in those areas? Colorado would be STUPID not to take it.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Xqb15a</b></div><div>Are you going for the most worst posts in one ACGM? Georgiev has definitely struggled at times but has a better save percentage a better GAA average oh and TWENTY FOUR wins more than Forsberg on what planet is that trade a wash? ROTFLMAO</div></div>

Dude Forsberg likely has more wins than that if he was playing in Colorado... Forsberg ; 20-21 (.909 SV%)...21-22 (.917 SV%)...22-23 (.902 SV%)..... Georgiev? 20-21 (.905 SV%), 21-22 (.898 SV%), 22-23 (.918 SV%)., 23-24 (.897 SV %).... Who has had the better stats? Despite playing on a getter team? Thanks for coming out though.... You obviously watch nothing outsiude of Avs hockey. If anything Forsberg is worth more than Georgiev. This season for the most part is a blip.... Georgiev despite playing on a much better team struggles to hit .900 Come back when you do your homework....Are you trying to be the site's biggest moron?

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TJTwolf</b></div><div>That probably doesn't get Rantanen alone even with only 1 year left on his current deal.</div></div>

The thinking is this.... Col gets Tkachuk for 4 years at $8.3M.... If he plays with MacKinnon, he's a sure-fire 40G 50A 90Pts player who is the game's premiere power forward. Ranntanen will be more productive but likely less productive than he was in Colordao. Ottawa likely has to ante up $10.5M to keep him. So Ottawa is saving Col $2.3M on that exchange.... Georgiev and Forsberg are a wash, but again Col receives $500K more cap space, meaning they get the game's premiere Power Forward and close to $3M in cap space. With the cap going up Brady locked up for 4 more years and playing with MacKinnon his contract would look like gold.

Thread: Attempt at some upgrades
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>OldNYIfan</b></div><div>Rob Blake can't afford to admit that he made a grievous mistake acquiring Pierre-Luc DuBois and then signing him to that contract because it would mean his immediate dismissal, so PLD will survive into his NMC. My lugubrious prediction is that he gets better next season, improves in 2025-2026 too, and then when it's time to replace Anze Kopitar, regresses into the surly underachiever we all foresaw he would be.</div></div>

I can see that happening as well.... It was more from an amusement perspective to see people's thoughts. I do agree Blake might have an issue.... But if he gets out from under it for a guy like Norris? Norris can be a regular 25G+ center. If that's the best you'd get for PLD who will be impossible toi trade with that NMC as MTL would likely be the only other team he'd agree to move to. I think L.A. considers it at the least.

Thread: Starting to rebuild the defence
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CakeEaterBanks</b></div><div>I retained 40% of his cap on that trade lmao.

Brodie for 3 million teams would jump at for a 2nd and 5th</div></div>

Not even close.... Not even if you retain 50% of Brodie's salary are you getting two draft picks, especially a 2nd. I still maintain the Leafs are going to have to give up a draft pick to get rid of even 50%of his salary at the deadline. Think? The Leafs are calling teams regarding help to their blueline.... Why on earth would someone give up anything to a team that is looking to trade a defenseman and still looking for defensive help??? Especially considering he is one of the better defensive defenseman on the team that doesn't defend very well. Everyone knows why the Leafs would want to get rid of Brodie and his cap hit. No one is going to give you anything for that.
