Thread: Would it be enough
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>simonveilleux</b></div><div>IMO, even at this stage, Smith looks more promising than Laf.
Would never swap them, that would be an overpayment for a guy that's barely having an impact on his actual team, 3 years in.</div></div>

I get what you’re saying but you are still talking abt a 21 year old that can put up ~40 points a year. Yeah Not what you want from a #1 overall, but there is still another level that he had in the qmjhl that he hasn’t hit in the nhl. While it gets more unlikely every year that passes without hitting it, it’s still too early to write him off completely. Even if he maxes out as a 60 point forward, those are still very useful. I do get what you are saying about Smith though, which is why I used that pick as the example of one where NYR would be forced to consider the trade. They have a lot of middle level prospects already, so it would have to be quality more than quantity if they were getting rid of Laffy due to his potential.

Thread: TDL bulk
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Fox_Czar_Cup</b></div><div>Can't afford any of this next year, especially with Beau...</div></div>

Just trade Goodrow and they’ll have 16m in cap space. Not resigning tarasenko or Mikkola. Call up Othmann, lenschysyn (or however it spelt), Jones/Robertson and league min backup. That’s 4m max. That means there is 12m for Chytil, Miller and Laffy.
Chytil should get 4.5x5, miller similar, laffy 3x3. All contracts expire when Trouba/Panarin are fully off the books.


<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CM_Insane</b></div><div>It's not a bad offer for Beauvillier,but I think that we would like to see what we have with him first before we trade him unless an overpayment happensm</div></div>


Makes sense, he’s a gamble at this point. He’s just a ranger killer so I’d like to see what he could become in a ranger uniform.

Thread: Just begging for these lines
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Ab27</b></div><div>I like the lines and agree with keeping everyone in their neutral position. Obviously if they upgrade at RW by TDL, Kravtsov could be the one traded and that player slots in there. I like the rationale for the top line, would just worry about forechecking with them. As for PP1, I would keep Panarin in the same spot and add Chytil to the bumper, so that way when they pass to Zib, he can either shoot, play Kreider, or play Chytil all for a shot. As for PP2, I would put Trocheck at net front and Laf on left point.

All fun to speculate! :D</div></div>

There were a few reasons to keep Chytil on the right circle and Panarin in the bumper
1- PP is stale because the lack of a LH shot at the right circle. Everyone knows the Zib shot is coming. Adding that element would open up more lanes
2 - Panarin has a sick &amp; quick shot. The bumper could incentivize him to shoot more and adds an option we don't currently have at the bumper.
3 - With panarin in the bumper, the D would have to constantly move to cover both him and zibanejad. More movement on the PKers tires them out quicker and the movement opens up more lanes.


This is obviously just my opinion given my experience with hockey both playing and watching.
