Thread: competing this year
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mikearky</b></div><div>Um. Why does Arizona want Shattenkirk? They have a decent defense already.
Ottawa is not taking on real money for a guy that cost virtually nothing due to insurance.
Doubt Toronto makes that deal.</div></div>

Vesey for a 3rd and gaborik and they'll buy out smith -- cost is minimal. They are stockpiling young players and picks, this gives them that for limited cost.
Arizona only has demers as a right handed shot. Both Shattenkirk and Stepan under-performed last year.
Toronto needs to save money. Buchnevich will cost significantly less than Nylander, the age difference is not that much. Buchnevich hasn't had the same supporting cast, and he still puts up decent point per game numbers. Howden can replace kadri if they trade him and a 2nd is a decent pick

Thread: Quick Rebuild
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>capfriendlyaccount</b></div><div>I just don't see Panarin signing there. Maybe I'll be surprised but Florida just looks like a better fit. And how ready is Kratsov? I know LW is probably not where he'll be playing, since he's usually a RW and played center at World Juniors.</div></div>

If you actually look at his stats from the KHL, he was at his best when he played LW surprisingly. It doesn't hurt us since buchnevich plays best at RW and Kakko is a RW.

I'll take Kreider, Kakko, Buchnevich and Kravtsov in my top 6. Yeah Panarin has a good fit in florida, but with the changes the rangers have made (or are going to make) they may be in just as good of a position. Main thing florida has is coach and tax. Rangers have the base that he desires and hopefully the russian connection with buch, rykov, kravtsov, shesterkin can influence.
