Thread: Playoffs and future
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Shifttee</b></div><div>This makes a ton of sense,

I could easily see Seattle taking 9 mil + in Cap to have even more of a crowd on their wing,
(and giving up picks on top of that, because cap space is kinda dirt cheap in the market right now)

Also, I can see why Seattle would want 2 years of Myers 6 mil instead of just offering Klingberg a deal</div></div>

Pick your team for either player to go too, I probably should have done what every other AGM'er does and just say, "Any team".

I believe Pearson will be harder to move than Myers, there has apparently been a fair amount of interest in Myers but Vancouver's asking price is too high. Without an addition coming in he isn't really expendable for the Canucks.

As for Klingberg, I think the longer this drags out the more like he is to sign a shorter deal. If he does sign a short deal I'm betting it is a place he likes and a place he will have significant opportunity to have a good year going back into UFA.

I always find it comical when someone says something along the lines of "Why wouldn't team X just sign player Y instead?", everything on this website is a guess/fantasy/idea . Maybe player Y doesn't like team X, maybe player Y wants to be in a certain market, maybe player Y wants to play for a playoff team or a contender, maybe player Y doesn't like a certain coach, maybe player Y likes a certain coach etc etc etc... No one knows, that's why people make AGM's...

Thread: RD Upgrades
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SammyB</b></div><div>Fair enough. As a non-Bruins fan, can I ask why? You've got McAvoy as your #1 RHD, and need a 1C or 2C whether or not Bergeron re-signs. What am I missing?</div></div>

For starters the depth at RD in Boston is non-existent. Throw in Mac is out to start the year leaving Clifton and Poolman as the top 4 RD, you think that’s a good idea?

Boston FO loves Carlo. They are not moving him for 1 year of a 30 year old who will need an extension that won’t be a good one. They will be signing Bergy and possibly Krejci for 1 year so they don’t need to address C til next year. They can see if JT hits FA and sign him without giving up anything. If he signs before than, oh well, other options.

To pry Carlo out of Boston it will take a center entering his prime or barely into it. Think Elias or Bo with an extension. Van is not doing that anymore than Boston is trading Carlo for a center in his 30s that needs a contract. Especially with Pasta needing a 9m contract, Swayman and Frederic needing new contracts, and 5 other expiring depth players to replace.
