Stars aren’t going to be sellers even if it’s the best option.

Hypothetically speaking from the Rangers I’d like Lundkvist + 1st (we could add little pieces to make it go through), for Boston it’d be Studnicka + 1st and conditional 3rd (upgrades to 2nd if they make it to the 3rd round), for Nashville there is not many prospects of interest so can’t see a deal there, and Minny it’d be Beckman, a 1st and a conditional 3rd (same as the Boston one).

Obviously 50% retention will be included to up the value.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Snowball</b></div><div>Of course they need him, and why it says “realistically don’t trade him” above, but in all honesty no nhl player is ever untouchable if they’re really wanted that bad, someone will overpay for him if that’s what they want. And I’m not saying NSH doesn’t need him or is even thinking about moving him. Simply what’s a return for him look like?

1st, 1st, 2nd and top prospect?

Or do they want top line forward or top line dman for him with a picks?

<strong>18 barrels of whiskey and bar full bridesmaids????</strong></div></div>

All you need is for Poile to fall, hit his head, and think he's in a different century and you have yourself a deal!

If Nashville were forced to trade him, I think it would be for a top forward and a couple 1st round picks or top prospects.

Thread: Kapp
Toffoli brought back a 1st, a 5th, an interesting prospect drafted in the 2nd round just last draft in Emil Heinenman, plus an expiring contract in T.Pitlick(1.75M). Kappy cheaper and younger.

Kappy playing poorly and still .75PPG last season and .5PPG this season. Let him get hot for acouple weeks or a month and he’s a 20 goal scorer again.

Everyone talks sh*t on Kappy, does a trade for him and then immediately inserts him on their teams 2nd Line..lol. His floor and ceiling are both high.

Since they traded a 1st(15th overall) and a prospect just a year and a half ago for him. If they don’t get a 2nd and a (B, B-) prospect back, it’s a bad deal for them. And I doubt they do anything less than a prospect and a 2nd.

Because he’s in the doghouse, playing ok, making too many turnovers, and got moved down to the 3rd line tonight. Fans think he’d can be had for their garbage.

Sullivan is just a ballsy coach. Moving Carter onto Geno wing and Kappy to the 3rd line back with E-Rod(who were playing ridiculous earlier this year together) is a good move. Just a line shake-up.

Thread: Winger
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Dekes</b></div><div>interesting before arguing or discussing value i got 3 questions

1. Can he play right wing and left wing or just left wing?

2. How good is he defensively?

3. is he physical and not shy getting into board battles and does he have a strong work ethic?

Realistically looking at his point production and considering san jose isn't the strongest team i wouldn't be against a 2nd+3rd for him if picks are in different years</div></div>

Barby plays both wings

He is not a defensive specialist, he doesn't shy away from defense just isn't good at it.

He is not physical but is not afraid of the corners and absorbs a lot of punishment and bounces right back. He is a strong forechecker despite his size.

His vision and hands are top notch/borderline elite.

Thread: Everyone knows if Miller moves it going to be to the Rangers
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Snowball</b></div><div>Really? No way I can’t believe that a package that’s been proposed on here 12 times in last two weeks still gets beat! Darn! Any package Boston makes gets beat, that’s the point ^^, even lysell, lohrei and first is only package that comes close to what rangers can offer, then couple that with the cap space they have this year VS what bruins have, sorry gets beat

Oh and obviously bruins are never going to offer that for a 29 year old 2C</div></div>

Yeah - you wont win many Bruins offers, everyone seems to think that Lysell is the only player of value that the Bruins can offer to anyone. I guess they will just have to be on the look out for getting a deal like Hall and Lazar for Bjork and 2nd round pick (oh wait that would never happen in the forums, only in real life)

Thread: Kubalik Decision Read Description
There is no point signing him to a 1 year deal, and I'd argue a 2 year deal either.
You are just walking him to FA.

The question of is he worth a 4M+ cap hit and the answer to that right now is no.

So you want to move him at TDL but honestly, who's going to engage in that? There are a half dozen other forwards out there that will be moved prior, the market just isn't that deep of teams looking to spend assets at TDL. 1/2 the teams in don't add, of the other half, half of them are just adding defense.
You might see 4-6 teams add a forward, odds are the caliber of the forward they add is better.

So I don't see TDL being a viable solution.

I think at the end of the day the question has to be reworded.
It's not a question about Kubalik it's a question about 4M in cap space.
Can you do better in FA with 4M cap space, bringing in a guy who is roughly the same age 27.

If you can do better, than what difference does it make to let him walk? There is a very real cost in keeping a guy who's not worth his cap hit.
He got a show me deal, that was back loaded on purpose. He did not show anything. Signing him to another 2 year deal putting him back in the same exact position isn't going to change anything.
forwards peek at 27, you got half of his best years, and frankly, they aren't great the last 2. So it's not like you are looking at a guy who is 20.
What you see is what you get, and I wouldn't pay 4M for what you're getting.

Thread: My ideal TDL
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>gary_bettman</b></div><div>DeBrusk is a vastly overpaid 4th liner. Moore is a 31 year old 7th dman also overpaid. Studnicka is a decent prospect but thats it, he's not looked good in the NHL. Your picks are late round picks. It simply isn't enough. FACTS. #dealwithit</div></div>

This is an okay hockeydb summary. Sort of.

Debrusk for all his slumps has a career 82 game average of 22-22-44. He’s been playing great (seriously, he’s been buzzing. Seven points in 11 or so games i want to say, but good all around game)
Moore isn’t even a 7th d man. He stinks. Pure cap dump.
Studnicka has actually looked pretty darn good at the NHL level. The bruins allergy to injecting youth continues, this is nothing new.

So no, once again, your opinions are inherently not facts. Does someone need to teach you what that word means?

Either way, find me instances of rentals going for this much. I’ve already done the work for you, so I know you’re not going to come back with much. Rick Nash is probably your best bet. Widely viewed as a preposterous overpay, and at least Nash had a boat load of 40 goal seasons on his resume. Your, “supreme,” which, while we’re on the topic of definitions you should probably learn, first line center is 32nd in points among centers over the past five years (the best of his career). 35th in points per game. 353rd in plus minus.

Yikes.
