Thread: KAndre - Laffy Part 1
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>gdli</b></div><div>First, Thanks for the feedback. I was conservative with the second rounder. The consensus I've received here and in several other threads suggests a first rounder is more likely, particular if multiple teams are suitors. Now Dach for Laffy straight up would require some additional comp to the Rangers since Laffy has more upside potential. Add the 1st rounder, and I think that's got the makings of a deal. If the Habs want to give us another player, I won't object.</div></div>

Maybe the 3rd piece I proposed might be a bit much but honestly I think LaF could fetch Dach &amp; a 1st pretty easily especially from Montreal. I think the possible bidding war between a few teams could fetch that 3rd piece.

Mannn that feels weird after we lost to him in the finals but it makes sense. I adjusted my roster. Appreciate the info

Thread: Ducks and Canucks Trades
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GiggywithGibby</b></div><div>"Before Zegras, Terry, Drysdale, Dostal, and half a defense"

You realize on Zegras, Terry, and Drysdale alone we will be over the cap floor, right?

And you know we have the most stacked pipeline at LHD in the league already, right?

Clearly not, since you are using the same tired old line "DuCkS nEeD To ReAcH tHe CaP FlOoR sOmEhOw!"

We don't need your help, and we don't need Goodrow's contract.</div></div>

Bro… You got 1 defenseman making over a million dollars. And most of your D prospects are 19 years old and have barely played in the AHL yet. Drysdale played like 10 games last year. The Ducks will absolutely be taking on some poop contracts in the next 2 weeks. I guarantee it

Thread: Ducks and Canucks Trades
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NickC1988</b></div><div>It just creates another need on defense though. Of all the players you listed, he's been their best. Why trade your best player to keep the ones that haven't found their game? Lindy is good and you need to keep him too. Kakko and Laf? There's going to be something done there at some point.</div></div>

True but until Bread and Trouba free up 20 million in space 3 years for now we’ll likely allocate the little money we have on those 3 players. Miller is the last tradable asset to jockey money around until the 2026-27 season.

I’m sure there will be cheap vet stop-gaps available for the next 3 years in Free Agency to chew up some of Millers minutes while also giving Jones playing time

Thread: Strome Bros- its a long shot but its doable
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>gdli</b></div><div>Chicago would reject this deal in an instant. When they moved the Cat and Dach, that represented a shot across the bow for Kane, Toews, and Dylan Strome. The message was that their days were numbered in the Windy City. They want young players and high draft picks. In your proposal, the draft picks we can quibble about, but I can assure you the Hawks have no interest in Nemeth and his $2.5 CAP HIT. Ryan is looking for $6M, will likely get $5.5M+. Dylan will likely be a two-year bridge deal approaching a CAP hit of $4.5M - $5M. You proposal doesn't have enough free cap space to handle either one of them.</div></div>

And they literally just traded for Mrazek with his 3.34 GAA and .888%. Nemeth is a better Dman at 2.5 million than Mrazek is at 3.8 million

If the Hawks keep this fire sale up they’re gonna need players to hit the Cap Floor
