<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Shibbal18</b></div><div>Chychrun ain't close to that valueable. It seems like you don't know who K'Andre Miller is</div></div>

K'Andre Miller is a bottom pairing defenseman in NY making almost $4M a season who struggles big time defensively. I know exactly who he is. Fox, Lindgren, Chychryn, &amp; Trouba would be NYR top 4. Chychryn at $2.3M would be a bargain as I said Ottawa would be paying 50% of his salary for this season as next. Ottawa also pays 50% of Tarasenko's salary for this season. NYR have $15M in cap space next season to fill 9 spots.... with Lindgren, Schneider, Kaako, and a backup goaltender to sign. Adding Chychryn at $2.3M and removing Miller's $3.87M &amp; Laffrenierre's $3.325M allows NYR to actually sign their players. Kakko, Schneider, Lindgren, and a cheap backup goalie? Is the bare minimum $9.5M after their 10% raises. Doesn't leave much to fill out their roster with.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Hckeydude123</b></div><div>Chychrun isn't the right player to consider moving Byfield. Stutzle on the other hand 1 for 1 would get consideration, outside of him OTT has nothing the Kings want.</div></div>

Byfield has 66 points is 163GP... Something like that.... Stutzle has 221pts in like 250GP. L.A. would have to pony up a whole arsenal on top of Byfield to pull Stutzle out of Ottawa. 14G 33PTS is Byfield's career high and he has done it this season. Stutzle will likely land in the 90-95 points range this season on a weaker team than L.A. The Kings have Kopitar, Dubois (unmoveable), &amp; Danault as the 3 top 9 centers for the foreseeable future. They also have Turcotte and Pinelli in the minors. Teams aren't going to take Turcotte for a top 4 blueliner like Chychryn... Pinelli doesn't have the value yet, as he is unproven. Byfield has very good value, but is also unproven. He does not deserve to be in the same category as Stutzle.... So it would make sense that Byfield would make sense. L.A. might not like it.... but L.A. isn't going to get the caliber of Chychryn for a guy like Turcotte....

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>athrin</b></div><div>Kings have roughly 22M to sign 10 players, including Roy and Byfield taking about half of that, they need 2 G as well. trading Byfield for Chych gives them 1 year of relief, Byfield will make at least 4-6M on a bridge deal.

the Dubois deal is looking worst and worst for the Kings every day.

althos OTT would not be opposed to Byfield, he does not fix their problem and that is RD, no guarantee Pesce comes to OTT</div></div>

Dude? No one on here is a GM and makes these come to life. It's a forum... There aren't any guarantee's there isn't even a guarantee that Chychyn gets moved....Tarasenko might re-sign? So obviously Pesche might not come here.... It's just creating a team under the cap. It's all imaginary, just make it realistic. I think for the most part this is realistic albeit unlikely....

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Ledge_And_Dairy</b></div><div>I don't think anyone considers Kaliyev a project yet, maybe Turcotte for Brannstrom if you are looking for a swap.

Pierre Lebrun has brought it up a couple of times.... Once for Jusse Saros in Nashville.... Then I think it was for potentially Konecny in Philly. I understand the thought process but inclined to agree that Byfrield is still a very interesting prospect. But 66 points in 143GP.... I could see L.A. maybe consider it? Chychryn is a guy L.A. apparently chased when he was in Arz. Anyways spitballing here lol.... Some might not agree with this? But It's not as far fetched as some of the teams I have seen put together on here lol

Thread: Fixing the Cap 6
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Xspyrit</b></div><div>Keeping Chabot in Ottawa is a LOT LOT LOT more important for winning games than keeping Kubalik who would put modest numbers this season because no PP time and who would walk after the season because he is UFA and Ottawa won't have the cap space to re-sign him (unless that's what you would want to do with the 5-6 M$ in cap space Ottawa will have?)

When you have a 2 M$ problem (that shouldn't even exist, just sheer incompetence by the GM), you don't trade one of your core players to fix it.


That bottom-6 is terrible again.

Chartier is a 4th line player, that line wouldn't produce much offense.</div></div>

The Chabot issue is to figure out the 3 LD playing in the top 4. Seems it's Chabot that is getting squeezed out. If they are removing Chabot from his offensive duties? He's not worth $8M. I'm a huge Chabot fan, but I am a Sens fan more. I would trade anyone and everyone to bring a cup to Ottawa. But if they are paying Chabot $8M to just be a 4th defenseman? Send him somewhere he will get his PP time, and be played in the role that got him to the NHL. His defense isn't good enough to pay him $8M to just take regular 5 vs 5 reps. Might as well add a guy like Parayko who can kill penalties, be a defensive presense to one of Sanderson or Chychrun.

Based on how Joesph is playing he should be good for 15 goals and Kubalik for 20. With Norris hurt Kubalik will get PP time to add some goals. There aren't many teams that have 3 centers that can play in the top 6. The teams that do are cup favourites.

Plus it would look more like this;

Tkachuk - Stutzle - Tarasenko
Greig - Giroux - Batherson
Joseph - Pinto- Kubalik
Chartier - Kastelic - MacEwen

That is still a formitable top 9

Thread: Fixing the Cap 6
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Tennisman142</b></div><div>Blues don't have the cap for Chabot and unless he can play RHD, trading Parayko leaves a huge hole for us. We would have Leddy, Krug, Chabot, tucker, Scandella down the left side and only Faulk and Bortuzzo down the right</div></div>

Very true.... not sure why I thought Leddy played both sides.... but was naturally a righty... So you're right it would have to be a situation where St Louis knows they aren't making the playoffs and bites the bullet to be exactly where Ottawa is right now. Ottawa has 3 LD (Chabot, Sanderson, Chychrun) one has to play his off-side which right now is Chabot. Hence why I proposed Chabot moving on because he seems to be the guy getting squeezed out. But he is still an elite defenseman, just losing in the numbers game :s

Thread: Fixing the Cap 6
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>sensonfire</b></div><div>If Pinto wanted less than 2.5 million x 2, he would have signed by now.

He does have one piece of leverage, which is too often overlooked on this site.

And that is a refusal to sign what is offered to him.

If Josh Norris' shoulder injury recurs or another centreman gets hurt, we might need Pinto more than ever.</div></div>

I don't agree with that.... That is the point for keeping a guy like Kubalik around. Ottawa has options... You can move Tarasenko to play with Stutzle and Tkachuk and move Giroux to play 2nd line center.

Tkachuk - Stutzle - Tarasenko
Greig - Pinto - Batheson
Joseph - Chartier - Kubalik
Kelly - Kastekic - MacEwen.

Those are lines I believe Ottawa can live with. Do remember Pinto has to be signed by Dec 1st or he cannot play in the NHL this season. Ottawa does not have to sign Pinto for exactly what Pinto wants. He's 2 years from arbitration and 2 years from being allowed to have an offer-sheet submitted. This is the drawback for burning a year off your ELC coming out of college. The teams have to stand to benefit as well. Pinto burning that year comes back to hurt him now. It's just business....

Thread: Fixing the Cap 6
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Kyle_Okposo_Lover</b></div><div>Parayko is worth nowhere near Chabot...

Not sure if Paryayko is a top 40 RD, definitely not 30.

Chabot is a top 15-20 RD</div></div>

I agree Chabot is the better defenseman. However I think haveing 3 elite LD defenseman will eventually become an issue. Parayko is still a solid defensive defenseman with a booming shot. We do lose a bit in the talent Chabot has. But the cap is cut by $1.5M, both have similar term on their deals. This also fixes Ottawa's dispertion on defense. 3LD 3RD. St Louis according to a buddy from work who really follows his Blues.... are looking for a big time defenseman on the backend. Parayko, Krug, Leddy, and Faulk are all 29 years+. Ottawa can afford to move on from Chabot and I'm a big Chabot fan I have his jersey. But Sanderson isn't going anywhere, Chychrun has been piling up the points, Chabot has lost hios spot on the PP.... So just reading the writing on the wall.

Someone mentioned Paraykjo might not waive his NTC then so be it... But if he is willing? I think Parayko and a 2nd rounder for Chabot will suffice. In saying that? One of Ottawa's 2 1st rounders would havge to be spent on an incoming impact defenseman for the future.
