Thread: If I was GM
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SadlyAnOilFan</b></div><div>It’s true Edmonton may have been inclined to do this, but at the time, Edmonton was right up against the cap. You’re talking about $10.8M worth of players, so even if you retain half ($5.4m), you also have to take on $5.4m in players. Are you willing to take James Neal? Kris Russell and another $1.5m player? Kassian had just been signed to an extension and Koskinen was running a .917 sv% so neither of them are options.

How much would it cost for you to take these players? And would Edmonton pay that? The trade is already costing 2 first round picks for players with only 1 year of additional term.

Sorry for going into depth, but the site is called CAPfriendly. Besides, how realistic of a fake GM do you want to be.</div></div>

Keep in mind Petry didn't exactly leave here on good terms. The whole reason he left Edmonton was the organization was a tire fire and the fans completely turned on him and ran him out of town. While the org has gotten better I would think Edmonton would still be the last place Petry would want to go.

Thread: If another team won the 2nd phase of the 2020 Draft Lottery Part 2 out of 7
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MikeyG420</b></div><div>Wheres the trade that would've been made when he rejected to play in Winnipeg? This has Lindros vibes all over it (no offence jets fans.. I've just been to Winnipeg before, too cold for my likeness)</div></div>

1. Lindros had a huge beef with the teams owner
2. Other then then E. Kane (self explanatory) Trouba (who didn’t want to play in Canada) Laine (who had a beef with other Jets bout work ethic) and Rosy (who wanted more opportunity) the players the Jets drafted were both willing to stay and commit long term.. Scheif, Helle, Lowry, Morrissey, Ehlers, Conner to name a few… even the ones listed above the beef wasn’t about the city
3…..🖕

Thread: Way Too Early Season Predictions
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>VijayPatel11</b></div><div>How could florida miss</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SadlyAnOilFan</b></div><div>Ugh Calgary?? Nope. It was much better before


I do like that you have the kings in 3rd, while Chicago in 3rd, FLA and CAR missing, and OTT just squeezing in makes this very interesting. I figure the east is a big crapshoot so the end of the season should be very close and very tense…I can’t wait.</div></div>

I think the wildcard spots in the East are going to FEROCIOUS this year. The 3rd in each east division might as well be a wildcard spot because there's so many good teams. I'm interested to see if Spencer Knight is the real deal, or if Bobrovsky just pulls out a Vezina year. I mostly went off of the bets that Ullmark and Hall put the Bruins over Florida and the Canes, and that the Lightning and Leafs maintain their dominant play.

Thread: Three team trade with oilers and pens part 2
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Drshnuckels91</b></div><div>Lehner and vasy have had better seasons recently hoisting around 915 save percentages compared to gibsons 900. kuemper was severely overpaid as colorado was desperate for a goalie at the time and kuemper has in fact been better than gibson the last two seasons while arguably being on a worse team last year.</div></div>

My point in citing Lehner and Vassilevskiy was to point out the lack of merit in your implication that the length of Gibson's contract is a negative.

My point in citing Kuemper is that we're not talking about one year of Gibson vs. one year of Kuemper -- a fact you don't seem to comprehend. Time = value. You wouldn't pay the same for one year of John Marino as you would for six years of John Marino. John Gibson is no different.
