Thread: Wild are shopping Dumba
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>the_guy_in_the_chair</b></div><div>Where did you hear them say they're rebuilding? And what prospects are you offering if they're rebuilding? Also don't say yikes you're not a 15 year old white girl. Thats like saying oof in 2020</div></div>

Their actions are saying they are rebuilding. You tried to shop Parise that fell through at the deadline, multiple rumors of shopping Suter nothing has materialized as of yet. You traded a top 6 wing for what was basically a first round pick in 2021, a cap dump to make it work, and a future NHL Dman. Now after the year he had your looking per reports, to dump Dubnyk and hey what do you know Murray has been linked to your team. And given that your GM values him highly from his time in PGH well that is where rhe majority of your value comes from. Plus if you want to go with the "There just looking to make cap room!" Argument your dumping 10m in cap space. Bringing back 7.1 with 0 retention and one of them becomes an asset that either you can keep or flip. Not to mention a guy with middle 6 wing potential in McCann in the deal above that your team can either keep or trade. Your team isn't in "win-now" mode. If it was, it wouldn't have tried to trade Zucker for a year and then settled on dumping him for less then a top 6 winger return.

Thread: Fleury and trading both goalies
No. This is just more Yinzer pining for the olden days nonsense. Fleury is old, not to mention he never got the job done in PGH after 2009. And before you even try to bring up "But 2017! And Vegas in 2018!" Anomalies can happen and definitely have. How many times did 29 and company blow a 3-1 series lead in PGH? In 2013 he was replaced in the freaking first round by Vokun and never could win back his starting job. Then in 2014 when he was the starter he blew a 3-1 series lead against the Rangers who we were supposed to dispatch in 5/6 games easily. Then lets all remember the series of no save percentage in 2012 where he couldnt stop a puck to save his life. Then in 2011 another 3-1 series lead completely blown to the Lightning who at the time consisted of nothing more then a 1-3-1 System.

Thread: woof what happened
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Capitalfail67</b></div><div>what are you stocking up the pipeline for? to be average at best.... you have 2 ? good prospects and a 3 year window to win cups.... keeping what you have doesnt make the situation any better.... you literally gave this up for Zucker.. Domi is better</div></div>

Poulin isnt NHL ready and nobody forcasts him to be for at least another full season in the minors. POJ is probably ready for next season. The fact that this team needs Center help as it is currently constructed means we shouldnt be shipping out one of our top 6 forwards who meshed incredibly well with Sid. Pipeline is needed to be stocked so when the team next goes tanking we can have a cast ready to come along and have a young team ready to go.

Thread: Nightmare Scenario
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Yojimbo</b></div><div>If Jarry looked like a shell... why would he get $3M?

Winning #1 hardly seems like a nightmare. That's a better outcome than going out in the playin and not getting #1. It's even better than, yeah, better than winning the Cup.</div></div>

Part of the reason why I put the word Nightmare in quotation marks below in the discription. Because while losing to Montreal in round 1 would be a bitter pill to swallow still get the best prospect to build towards the future.

As for Jarry getting 3m at that point with what happens after he looks like a shell. Team is desperate to retain him and just throws more money at him (And we cant say it wont be done cause... Johnson.... Pettersson the Pylon... the Reaves trade. Our GM can definitely make bad signings or trades.)
