Thread: Second Line Center and More
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Sagecoll</b></div><div>that's 2 quick Ranger declines not there. So far off on the value that it's not really worth constructive criticism.</div></div>

I'm not sure on this but this trade is close. I think this is nicely set up by the orgional post.

That's 14 million plus in cap space versus less than 7 . Which is huge in a flat cap. 7 million is worth at least a late first.

Wall = 0, for Calgary too many goalie prospects. Gauthier barely more, bust.

Trouba cried his way out of Winnipeg and has lost his spot on the right side in NY. 8 million seems a lot for a potential locker room premadona.

Strome is an enigma that I wouldnt pay more than 4 million for.

Monahan has has his issues but hes still a very good center.

It's a strange trade but it's not the normal insanity.

Thread: Leafs 2020-21
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BradDillon17</b></div><div>Lol “prospects”.. always overrated. Gawdin and Phillips are good and can compete for that 12th and 13th spots but the main reason the Flames lost is lack of depth scoring and goaltending. They’re probably getting Holtby to fix up the goaltending, they have to address bottom six. You can’t have two average at best rookies, Lucic and Bennett in your bottom six if you want to go anywhere.

What cheaper UFAs could they realistically target that would bring any significant scoring depth to the lineup? Their isn’t much for less than $3 million.</div></div>

1 or 2 prospects to push veterans is always good IMO. You dont think there are going to be cheap veterans on one year deals in ufa? Because with the flat cap I think teams will have there pick of some good short term guys.

If the flames sign a ufa goalie like Holtby we are not adding 3.4 million for a bottom six left shot forward so that arguement doesn't hold water.

You forgot Dube who looked great in the playoffs.

So if you spend and get an actual top six you dont need 3.4 x 3 years wasted in your bottom six because the line up looks like:

JG SM EL
MT MB UFA
DD SB AM
ML DR UFA or prospect

If hes such a fabulous deal in the bottom six why is Toronto trying to trade him. That's the same reason Calgary doesn't need him. Cap number does not work.
