Thread: Kings and Burns

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>tryger</b></div><div>Kings decline, they gave up good pieces to get Madden and Thomas, and both are on the cusp NHLers. Norlinder is the only piece the Kings would be interested in, and even then giving up on Thomas or Madden at this phase would be silly.

The Kings also have no room for Kulak as their lines are close to set, and he wouldn’t be a wild improvement over Moore or Athanasiou.</div></div>

honest question though, the kings are starting to become overloaded at center.... they are a perfect trading partner for an org that needs c depth

Thread: Eichel on TOP MOTHA-B

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Gofnut999</b></div><div>Buffalo needs a young nhl ready forward with first line potential in any deal for Eichel. There is none there.

Breakdown.

Anderson - unwanted
Poehling - 3rd liner
Guhle - nice prospect but Buffalo has Dahlin, Power, Samuelsson, Johnson on LD all 21 or under - not a need
Vejdemo - spare part - unlikely nhl player
Primeau - good goalie prospect, Buffalo has UPL

While it’s a large pile that on paper looks good. It fills very little of what they are looking for and missing the primary piece needed.</div></div>

on what planet is anderson unwanted.

Thread: EXACTLY WHAT WE NEEDED GUILLAUME

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Shibbal18</b></div><div>No, would you take $100,000 cash or 5 lottery tickets with a 2% chance you can win a million, 6% chance at 100k, but a 40% chance you end up with nothing?</div></div>

let's be real - KK should have gone 10-15th overall - Farabee, Docker, Miller not to mention the top 10 guys ahead of him Quinn Hughes etc- there are a ton of better selections. you are massively undervaluing a 1st overall pick. a top 10 pick has about a 50% chance at being an nhl first line player, kk is not that. picks are worth a boat load.

we shall see. imo, and admittedly i am a fan and want it to happen - this does not really hurt habs chances at eichel.

Thread: EXACTLY WHAT WE NEEDED GUILLAUME

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>larter232</b></div><div>i mean if suzuki continues on his path of success is worth at least 6, and if romanov plays even half as well as hes going to hes worth 3. thats 9 of cap right there, which winger are ya dumping? Toffoli and Hoffman are the only ones with both trade value and no NTCs. but they are also the teams 2 best goal scoring wingers with experience. Realistically getting eichal is gonna cost you those 5 picks 3 players and then whoever walks in free agency. Is he worth losing both your future and like 7 players? I dont think so.</div></div>

we need to move one of the 5M contracts - one of them is movable. maybe anderson, we'll see. take eichel now - figure it out later.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Kotkaniemi15</b></div><div>Are you seriously acting like a late 1st and a late 3rd would be more valuable to Buffalo than Kotkaniemi himself?</div></div>

yes. KK hasn't done anything remarkable. he was a prospect whose stock only rose late in the draft b/c of the world junior. he has played 200 games and looked pedestrian. it will take another 3-5 years for him to fully develop into a real 2C - trust me this guy is FAR from a game breaker - sabres know that.

They lose 5 picks and 3 players for eichal its just not worth it man it ****s the team up for years.</div></div>

eh, idk about that. Eichel is a complete stud. Paquette, Chiarot are replacement players and there is plenty of room to sign Suzuki and Romy - plus we will prob dump a winger

no it doesn't. it has to have four firsts of total value and for a rebuilding team - futures are worth more than burning entry level years on players anyway. we have more picks to offer now. HELLLLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOOO JACK!!!!!!!!!!!

Thread: Johansen

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ricochetii</b></div><div>If you're trading for Johansen, you're basically paying for the retention. I have no doubt they'd be willing to move one of their $8M centers for nothing, but if they are retaining there has to be a benefit to doing so.

Let's say Lehkonen for $1M retained. They sign him for 4 years $2M. Having Lehkonen for the equivalent of $3M saves them $5M. Not the best contract still, but much more manageable.

Think what you would have to pay a 3rd party to retain $3.5M for 4 years (if you could even find someone willing). It's a high enough price that it's not worth paying.

Up to $2M is possible. Anything more than that and you're getting to the point where it makes more sense for them to keep him and buy him out when it becomes a problem they can't ignore.</div></div>

the point is buyout is a 4M cap hit for nothing in return and TWICE the term. if you don't think johansen is in the buyout zone already then i agree not worth it. once he is, a deal like this makes sense. wild were insane for not dealing suter with retention - makes zero sense.

i wonder what he would actually go for.... interesting discussion. dom at the athletic has him at 6.125M per year contract value - maybe against a 2023 2nd he'd retain 2.5M..... i think if MTL can get him sub 6 it's very worth it.
