Thread: Trade with NSH to get 23 man roster

The development of Samsonov and Vanecek is the most crucial part of it all, because it will determine if Holtby has leverage when negotiating a new contract. If Samsonov/Vanecek isn't ready just yet, cap needs to be shedded somewhere else in the roster.

Thread: Trade with NSH to get 23 man roster

Because he's still a good-enough asset, or because of sentimental reasons?

Thread: An outside look of NYR line-up - am I far off

Thank you for an in-depth view!

At a quick glance, I haven't seen stats that would put Lias in the NHL, but it may also be my mind telling me not to give too much bias to my fellow countrymen. :D

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>bhavikp27</b></div><div>no way Beaulieu plays LD1. Morrissey, Niku before</div></div>
I figure Morrissey and Byfuglien will anchor one pairing each, so Niku on LD1 and Beaulieu on third pair?
To me, if you call Morrissey/X or X/Byfuglien the first or second pairing doesn't make much difference. Though it will be Morrissey's blueline in the long run...

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>palhal</b></div><div>We haven't see many posts with those one year contracts. </div></div>
Sorry, in the description, I should have added that I only listed them as 1 year contracts for the purpose of predicting the roster. I assume there will be at least one bridge and long-term deal, if not two long-term deals (if you can shed some cap space).

I can't vote correct on this one. The "say whaaaat?" option wasn't available.

Thread: An outside look of VGS line-up - am I far off

The talent pool is deep at defense, with four rookies (with you mentioning Coghlan) all challenging for NHL duty. Fascinating!

Thank you very much for your detailed view! Much appreciated.

Thank you! Well, living in Europe, I still might not watch as much as I would like. Weekdays are obviously impossible, unless holiday in the US and watching a matinee game. I try to watch Capitals once either Friday or Saturday night and then matinee games on Saturday and Sunday, whatever teams there may be.

I have noticed that many seems really high on Veleno. Is he good enough to be 2C, dropping Nielsen to 3C and moving Filppula to 3LW?

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Max27</b></div><div>Is Dickinson better than Janmark?</div></div>
Maybe not, but I seem to remember Dickinson and Hintz having good chemistry in the playoffs, albeit with Zuccarello (and it will have to be Pavelski now). That's why I put Dickinson over Janmark.

Interesting! This is the kind of information that's "impossible" to keep track of, when trying to get a grip on teams. Not impossible in the way it can't be found, but it would be so time-consuming. Thank for valuable input!

Thread: An outside look of CBJ line-up - am I far off

I hesitated before putting Gavrikov in, because he doesn't need to go through waivers to be sent down to Cleveland. Kukan and Clendening must, as well as Milano. That might weigh into things in the last days of training camp and pre-season.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CrazyK04</b></div><div>Toews is the number one center, not sure what you're thinking with him on the second line. </div></div>

Toews is absolutely the best center, I agree. My thought was of the two fairly even top lines (as a whole), as a 1A/1B kind of situation.

Thread: An outside look of BOS line-up - am I far off

Will be looking for Studnicka's name in the pre-season news then.
Personally, I have a soft spot for Cehlarik after playing a few years for my favorite team in Sweden, but unless Backes is buried in the organization (moving Heinen to 2RW, Coyle to 3C and Kuraly to 4C), I don't see a spot for him on this roster. Guess time will tell.

Thank you all for your inputs!

It's not just you, because even I'm fascinated by the amount of talented forwards in the Ducks organisation. Could it be a "problem" with all forwards trying to get jobs within 1-3 years? Maybe a trade for a top 4 D-man?

Thread: An outside look of CGY line-up - am I far off

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Ledge_And_Dairy</b></div><div>Czarnik's not a center, Jankowski is. Not nearly enough for Tkachuck. Valimaki is put at least until playoffs (probably all year) so put him in LTIR. If DSP makes the team, which he probably will, Frolik will be traded. But this all depends on if someone can step up to 2RW. Interesting defense pairings ive cinsidered those myself as well</div></div>

I figured Tkachuk wouldn't get paid more than Monahan or Gaudreau, but on the other hand, those contract were signed a few years ago. So yeah, you are probably right about that.
Ah, didn't know it was that bad for Valimaki.

That how I saw it, with several interchangeable pieces behind the top three D-men, which you confirm. It will be a good battle in training camp.

Thread: Suggestions Megathread

In armchair-GM, you can choose if you only want to see posts regarding one specific team, but it's not possible to choose the "NHL" general one. That would be good.

Thread: Top Prospect team

ANA C Sam Steel is still a rookie.

I also wonder about Aleksi Heponiemi in Florida. He scored 46 points in 50 games playing against men in the Finnish league last season. He's another one fighting for a roster spot in Panthers' line-up, alongside Owen Tippett, though he lacks Tippett's size.
