Don’t disagree with you there. An overpay to pry him away essentially.

Thread: What the Habs should do

Otter won't sign that, he'll get a better deal from the Stars. You need to double that offer for Dallas not to match it, easy.

Also Tampa has absolutely zero reasons to accept that deal.

You know this makes TB even less cap compliant. No $$$$ was put in for RFA Boesner. Killorn alone is better than Boesner, never mind the Cernak addition

Thread: Lets Make Moves That You Hate

Tampa isn’t trading Cernak for what Ryan Johnson *might* eventually become
They’ll still be in “win now” mode & will figure out their Cap issues like they do every year

Sabres fans really need to stop with the Cernak trades
It probably annoys Tampa fans as much as when Leafs fans try to dump Mrazek on us for a 3rd or 4th

Thread: We need a third line

They had the same lineup for 2 seasons. They're not going to find the perfect line combination after losing 1/3 of those forward group in the first game of the year. Cool your jets.

Thread: We need a third line

We are losing cap and a first round pick in order to get back a player who is only slightly better than Joseph. We might need another 3rd liner this year, but it would be someone to play <strong>WITH</strong> Colton and Joseph.

Thread: 3 way

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>gretzkyghosts</b></div><div>Let's be clear here, Buffalo is getting a first, a decent roster player and a decent prospect.
I like Tuch but he is not Jack, Krebs is a <strong>PROSPECT</strong> and a later first.
When the dust clears, Buffalo may end up with Tuch as the only return.
Second while the herniated neck is painful, it is not a career ending injury.
99% of neck herniated disks are treated with rest, rehabilitation and medication.
None of us know the seriousness of the injury, but according to reports other GM's who were given the MRI are now stepping up their offers.

Bottom line it is a good trade for all of the teams involved.</div></div>

Bottom line it isn’t because no one knows how long it will take Eichel to recover or if he ever becomes his former self. He only had 2 goals in 21 games last year as well….

Thread: Kravtsov

Hard to believe that any GM wants to pay the Rangers "top 6" value, when he can't even find a roster with the Rangers. Now I don't know what his upside projection but his two years in North American haven't been impressive.

Thread: Hagelin is back

Barre-Boulet has three more career NHL points after playing half a season on Tampa than Johansen has after not making the NHL.

The big difference, when they were waived, is that everybody knew Barret-Boulet was healthy because he played most of last year, whereas Johansen is a question mark right now. If you think the Rangers need a skill forward like Barre-Boulet, they could ask for Garrett Pilon instead of Johansen.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TheThunder</b></div><div>Nikita Gusev was a PPG guy in the KHL how's that worked for him in the NHL?</div></div>

He seems to be a UFA at the moment, in spite of having over twice Kravtsov's points/game in the NHL last year, and better puck possession. Maybe Kravtsov is just going to the minors.

Thread: Kravtsov

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>knuxles</b></div><div>If the Habs were to go after him, they could pair him with Suzuki and Caufield. That's a long-term 1st line. That line needs physicality/size but it also wouldn't hurt adding another player who can put the puck in the net just as well as he can put someone through the boards. Plus it would be good for Romanov to have another Russian on the team. He talked a lot about the language barrier last year, I kinda felt bad lol. A lot of teams will be going after Kravtsov and so if we really want him, I'd overpay. He seems like a good fit on the team.</div></div>

What makes you think Kravtsov is even NHL capable? Gee he has been sent to the minors by the Rangers. A massive overpay for an AHLer. The picks and Harris have more NHL potential

I don’t really think it is. Hedman has done it year in and year out on the highest stage. Fox has one elite season, and hasn’t played an important NHL game in his career yet. It’s a sample size thing.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NYR1983</b></div><div>Both cups were legit, anyone complaining is the #2 bulls#!t, #1 being the Vez winner of course. No one complains when the leafs are 14M over and get knocked out in the 1st round. 🤷🏻‍♂️</div></div>

You're right. They used the system to their advantage. It was within the rules.
It's the rules that are the issue. Not Tampa (or anyone else copying that strategy).

So if Montreal is able to pick up, say Hertl, Giordano, and Forsberg (not realistic, just an example), then they bring back Price and Weber for the playoffs, it will still be "legit".
The rules however, will still be an issue.
