Thread: Leo Carlsson
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CaseyFlyman</b></div><div>Yeah, Columbus says no. It's a good effort, but we need a couple star pieces, not a bunch of darts that have a ceiling of top-6 (we've got plenty of that already). Fact of the matter is Columbus has to draft or use 3OA to get a legit 1C under 25 with term, so unless it's a package involving Petey, Columbus just isn't interested.

"Also…. Just how good/bad is Peeke? Would he be able to slide onto Hughes’ right side, or is he a bottom pairing guy?" I'll qualify that I'm not a Peeke fan, but he can slide up and down the lineup. If he's forced to play top pair, he's going to look bad. He's best suited for 3RD, maybe 2RD in a pinch. He's going to be physical, but IMO that's about it. There's a lot of misplaced physicality in his game (checks that don't make sense, penalties he doesn't need to take), and he's frequently out of position. He's another big crease-clearing D-man who's going to look bad in any other role.</div></div>


Very informative. Thanks!

Thread: Trade Down Trade Away
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>lowblocksniper</b></div><div>The trades for Pesce and Hanfin seem fair enough but, that is a lot to give up for 2 defensemen who are more than likely to leave after that 1 season, you must really think you have a chance at winning the cup to give that up.
I don't think you get that favorable of a deal for Garland.
You also don't have a 3rd line center.
I like the creativity though.</div></div>


Trades wouldn’t happen unless extensions were in place. Forgot to put that in there. Oops!! Would be very difficult seeing as Hronek, Hanafin, and Pesce would all be expiring, not to mention EP40s new deal.
But I agree, it’s a very steep price, but if Vancouver is going (once again) into win now mode, those are the types of players/deal needed to improve the team.

Theres $7m+ to get a 3C, I just didn’t sign one.

Thread: Cost
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Fjordy</b></div><div>Disagree, Krebs is a good young player and I would love to keep him, but he can also get stuck in our depth because we already have too many prospects. Krebs has definitely shown progress last season, he has become more physical, he has a perpetual motion engine, he is arguably the best playmaker on our team. He may very well be our 3C next season, but if there is a right deal I would be willing to trade him, but I don't want to trade him just like that. While I'm not saying Mittelstadt isn't available, for the right deal it could very well be. Although I like Krebs little more.</div></div>

I will take you word for it since I only watched one Sabres game this year. I’ll have to keep an eye out for him in the future 👍

Thread: Garland to DET
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JoeROFLCOPTER</b></div><div>Not for that price tbh. Most I'd give up is a 3rd. Hirose is a null asset to me so.</div></div>

I don’t understand why Garlands value is so low. There’s rumblings in the market of a buyout if no one will take him. I think that’s asinine. I’m not a fancy stat guy, so maybe there’s a reason there, but he has had a 46 and 52 point seasons in Vancouver. I don’t get why people wouldn’t jump at the chance to get a 50pts mid 6 player like him for a 2nd.

As for Hirose… WOW! Didn’t look at his stats until now. I just added him because we have Akito lol. Couple nice AHL seasons. Is he a late bloomer, or is he simply a very good AHL player who for whatever reason just can’t make that jump to the NHL?
