Thread: Trades and extensions
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Czu8iks</b></div><div>Jokiharju. Much safer option.

You can't avoid age, when we are dealing with 36 yrs hockey player. Petry could be on last leg. That would be his 3rd team in 3 years, would he find motivation anymore ?</div></div>

I think those are fair questions for sure! I was trying to be semi-realistic with Petry as a last resort of sorts.

I think Joki is the further thing from a safe option... dude is straight Jekyll and Hyde. To be fair, that's how I felt about Mitts too and I've been all aboard the mittsy train since he got here because of the flashes and growth year over year. I'll reconsider my Joki hate, because for every time he gets completely lost in his d-zone, he did play really well down the stretch at times

Thread: i like tage on the wing
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Cozens42</b></div><div>I don't think these past two years were completely attributed to a position change. As good as he is offensively, his defensive game hurt the team a lot.</div></div>

I agree with Tage on the wing, not because hes not a good C but because:
1. it lets you maximize Mittelstadt (he was ELECTRIC with Skinner and Tuch). He has been making more plays on the 3rd line since Christmas, but with 53/89 Mitts was on pace for 120 points(15 points in last 10 games)
2. They get crushed on cross-ice passes in the d-zone, having Tage defending in the slot (vs. the corners) to break up passes should help - see Alex Tuch.
3. Cozens already has the chops to be a great 2-way center vs. coaching it into Tage. 12-24-72 looked really nice together even with Tage not at 100%

Obviously though, you can only do any of this if you trust Mitts to pick up where he left off next year and you think Cozens+LW2 will still get Tage to 40 goals (I think I'm on board to try it out)

Thread: Imagine this
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>gretzkyghosts</b></div><div>First, Just to be clear, when I saw Tuch was coming to Buffalo I knew Buffalo won.
Right now, I would not trade Tuch for Eichel if that was the offer.
Second, when I saw that we only got a first and a former 7th roung pick for Sam, I nearly fainted.
Then when I was able to research Devon, I was more than satisfied.
Karmanos, Ventura and Crowe certainly had a lot to do with all of the deals (Sam, Rasmus and Jack).

EDIT: Let me add, thanks for reminding me that Jordan was actually part of the Jack trade.
I was not thrilled with giving up a second for Greenway, but maybe it will turn out exceptionally well.</div></div>

Same! Loved Tuch as a player when I started watching VGK at the beginning. Always saw a player better than his role there - didn't think he'd be THIS good tbf :tearsofjoy , but didn't need him to be at the time of the trade to be more than happy with the return
