Thread: Trading Zegras and Vatrano for more scoring depth
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Celtics21</b></div><div>I don’t believe Zegras is worth what he will get on his upcoming RFA contract and that’s before we give up every good asset we have to get him.

I’d rather have Lindholm with the expectation of a revivial in between Pasta and Zacha than the hope of Zegras living up to his contract / giving up high shelf talent to get him</div></div>

Zegras has already shown he is a heck of a playmaker. He was the main catalyst behind Terry scoring 37 goals 2 seasons ago. The kid has maturing to do and when that happens he’s going to be a ppg player but probably as a LW. The Bruins have done just fine with Zacha, Charlie, and Geekie as a the first 3 centers. Beecher and Boqvist round out the center options nicely. Too much has been made of not having a 1C. Lindholm is more of a solid 2C anyway and he’s probably going to get over 7x7 the weak UFA class. It’s going to be another Kadri contract .

Thread: Trading Zegras and Vatrano for more scoring depth
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GeneralLandro</b></div><div>Not interested in that package for Zegras and he isn’t a guy who would fit in in Boston anyways

Why are we giving away Frank for nothing??? A reclamation project a 4th liner and a AHLer isn’t even close

No interest in Holl or taking on Kamper’s contract — we can burry Ross for free

Sign Reinhart instead of Guentzel

Strome is not a 2C for us and Killorm isn’t a 4th liner

This is real bad and all over the place</div></div>

The entire 3rd line is nhl ready and on ELCs. Most of the forwards the Gulls have are not NHL ready. Guentzel is better than Reinhart who’s having a fluke year if you look at his past production. To a lesser extent the same is true for Frank. He’s having a big year and instead of dumping him at the deadline for a pick next year, the smart move is to get young nhl ready scoring options. Wahlstrom has to stay healthy but he is going to be a steal for someone. Trotz wasted that kid’s potential and Lambert was even worse.

Thread: Why Do You Need to "Build Thru the Draft"
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SJSGM</b></div><div>I know this is probably a pretty dumb question, but I don't get why you need to build through the draft. Why couldn't a team be good by being mostly comprised of just ufa signings? Yes, the top guys are often very expensive in free agency, but if you just built a good depth team could you not just build a team thru free agency primarily and maybe a trade here and there?</div></div>

Every NHL dynasty was built through the draft from the 70s on. Even when modern free agency started in the 90s this was still true. The Red Wings teams that went on to win 4 cups over two decades were largely comprised of draft picks. The Black Hawks and Penguins 3 cups in this century were led by a core of drafted players and the same is true with what Tampa has built. The recent cup win by Vegas is a special case of an expansion team that went for a win now approach. Even Seattle is building through the draft with Beniers and Wright down the middle.
