Thread: Playing GM For A Team I Hate Part II
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Windjammer</b></div><div>No NHL GM's see the picks as they're actually valued. In other words differently to each team. Every one here which I guess includes you think that a top 5 pick will get you any player from any team straight up and that simply isn't true.

Every team is going to value those picks depending on where they are, who the player is, if they are rebuilding or not, etc.

In Winnipeg's case 5OA doesn't help them compete as much with their current roster as Scheifele does. The Jets also have no need to trade Scheifele, so why would they accept a trade that doesn't benefit them in the timeframe they are looking to compete in?

You may believe real GM's value players and picks at a fixed non-changing, non-negotiable value like your favourite video game does. It simply isn't true. Far more goes into a real trade than just a supposed trade value in a vacuum.</div></div>

Lol, yeah… so what you’re saying is picks are valued differently to each team yet you’re saying everyone is overvaluing them so you’re contradicting yourself

Flat value, 5 OA &gt; Scheifele

I don’t think picks can land anyone, just not overvaluing Scheifele

Thread: Poo the bed for bedard
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JaredOfLondon</b></div><div>He's a mid level number 4, the main issue is that lots of people have crazy high expectations of what a number 4 defender actually is.
Just because he's not that guy on Carolina or Colorado doesn't mean he isnt one, hell, he's been one on the leafs, a top 5 team for years now, for a long time.
He's MUCH better than risto, but thats just because risto is terrible and if Philly doesnt want to eat that pride thats on them. Ellis is better when he's healthy, so we'll see how that goes, as far as a fresh draft pick? That kid probably wont make the show for years, especially as a defender.
Leafs fans want to dump him because he's blocking liljegren mostly and cap second.
At best him for Laughton is a straight up value swap, the first and niemela make it a nonstarter for the leafs.
Mrazek for monahan, holl for Laughton sure, fine, whatever. Nothing else</div></div>

Okay, was trying to say each of you were wrong but that rant made me side with OP. Clearly you’re way more off than he is.

Thread: Went insane
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ReelBigFan</b></div><div>Probably, I didn’t know what to value some of those pieces… I think Morrow is a very good prospect, wasn’t sure if him and a first would cover the difference</div></div>
Agreed, I’d ask for at least another first or top prospect plus a depth player like Martinook (salary retained maybe) so Brink can get time in the AHL.

That also improves the 4th line in Philly a lot.

All in all, this is a pretty nice team, not 100% on Necas being a top 6 guy right away, would keep Atkinson if possible. Then Necas probably moves to the 4th since that 3rd line had so much chemistry. So you kind of have to pick a poison there.

Risto being a healthy scratch is hilariously accurate.

Sanhiem and Bear would definitely be a pairing to watch. If Ellis is healthy him and Ben would also be really strong together.

This team is would probably make a playoff run especially if Fed reaches 85% of his potential.
