Thread: Meier Maybe Moving
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Vorg_Vaarg</b></div><div>LOL. Shows you know absolutely nothing about the sharks system. Dahlen is probably about 5th or 6th in line behind Chekhovich, Chmelevski, True, Suomela and Blichfeld. Meier will be signing a bridge deal as all of SJ’s homegrown stars have done from Couture to Pavelski, Hertl and Vlasic.</div></div>

You are highly confident that he's signing a bridge deal when folks are offering him 6+ Mil? Theres a cap crunch coming and its not unexpected when you put more then 25Mil into 3 defensemen. They'll try to keep him sure but if there's an offer sheet coming this offseason, I think Meier is the best candidate. Unless they let all their UFAs walk except Thornton cause I can see him only eating about 3Mil, they need to ice more than just 6 studs.

Thread: Trouba Trade
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Smitty426</b></div><div>I'm fine with DK but that makes the return less going to Winnipeg.
Zacha should not be part of that deal imo</div></div>

I mean.... you have to give up something to get something and Trouba is definitely something. Hes a bonafide number 1 defender in this league who still has his whole prime ahead of him. I'm a devils fan and even I get sick of seeing the package deals for good players that include Mueller, Mcleod, and JQ. I think Zacha would be an incredible fit with the Jets on a cheap RFA bridge deal to see if they can finally break all the potential brewing in him.

Devils shouldn't rush out and trade Zacha for scraps, the prospect of a 1-2-3-4 down the center of Nico, Hughes, Zacha, and Zajac sounds incredible. But Hughes definitely makes him expendable as a 3C. Having him reach his potential and never have the possibility of being more then that cause hes being blocked by Nico and Hughes is a luxury NJ cant afford if it brings a star defenseman.

Thread: Toronto and Nashville
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jack_</b></div><div>he was so unlucky all season, he led the leafs in takeaways and threw a bunch of checks. he makes matthews so much better but his offence just wasnt there. his shooting percentage will go up so he will score more and he will have far better wingers next year. brown is brutal in the oz and im not near an echl player but I could bring just as much to the table as marleau does in the oz.</div></div>

Yea, I see this year for Nylander as a completely off year that isn't indicative of the actual player he is. He is really, really good. It mainly comes down to staying out of cap hell for Toronto. The question they need to ask is trade like this and being able to keep Kap and whatever RD a Nylander trade will get worth more for this team then the offense he brings will provide. In a vacuum Nylander is the best player in this trade bar none, its the corresponding moves and team build that needs to be looked at. Asset management. I dont know if this trade is the answer but something like this is a possibility.
