Thread: It Cant Be Nashville Every Night
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>sensibleguy</b></div><div>I'm going to trade for player X and player Y, and this team is gonna be Stanley Cup champions!!

How many ACGM threads are you going to create trying to accelerate the rebuild? There are very few players over 26 that this team would, or should, consider acquiring. They only signed Dadonov because this was the season he was a FA, and he signed for a favourable term/$$. Trading that much quality youth and picks for two players that are middle of the lineup guys, isn't good asset management. I don't care how good they were years ago, or that White had a sophomore slump, and Brown was a draft and develop prospect, your trades hurt the teams rebuild.</div></div>

I thought the point of ACGM is to make trades and sign players for fun no? Otherwise, would we just not watch TSN and read about what the actual team is doing? I tend to do similar things when I create a team - trade proven NHLers for some prospects. Do I think the Sens should do this in REAL life? Not necessarily, but this is a good stress relief from life and COVID, etc. Much healthier for me to make fake teams than smoke crack or gamble away my children's' RESP money. Cheers.

*also, to clarify, at no point does this post say the Sens will win the Cup with this roster.

Thread: Next few offseason
This is the type of trade scenario where each side views different factors, so they can have the same or similar opinions, but disagree on if it’s a good trade.

Stamkos is great, Stamkos gets hurt, often enough to state it. Stamkos can pot 40 goals easy, even now, Stamkos might not play enough to get 40 goals. $8.5MM isn’t a lot for what Stamkos brings, $8.5MM is a lot for a guy that isn’t playing, and please no insurance comments, if the guy is expected to contribute to the success, it doesn’t matter who pays his contract when he’s not playing, it’s 8.5MM that isn’t helping.

Stamkos is 30, with 4 seasons left on his contract, but Stamkos decline will still be pretty good production.

Greig, Jarventie, and a 1st aren’t a lot to give for a healthy Stamkos, it’s a lot to give for an oft injured Stamkos.

So this comes down to how many games people believe Stamkos will be healthy for. It’s a fair offer, definitely.

Thread: Rental Prices
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jack_</b></div><div>If I were ottawa I would play boedker on the 1st line and give him a ton of PP time. It doesnt really matter what happens in the end for OTT and he will most likely put up a decent amount of points. there will be a buyer for him if he does.
I would also try and trade demello and do everything I can to take on bad contracts like they did with callahan and Gaborik. having 16 million is such a waste and they could get some decent picks back when taking on bad contracts. guys like Bogo, Martin Hanzal or Sam Gagner</div></div>

Huge asterisk on taking on bad contracts: Melnyk. As much as Pierre is doing, he is always going to be handicapped by a cheap owner.

To answer the Boedker thing: he is barely an NHL player on a bad Ottawa team. He fell off a cliff after the off season and came back out of shape with a torn motivator cuff.
