Thread: Wpg trade
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MisstheWhalers</b></div><div>In his 18 year old season Laine scored as many goals as Svechnikov got points in his 18 year old season so yeah I get they're the two centerpieces of the trade but wanting something with more then two years of term isn't that much to ask to make up the difference.

Winnipeg is a tough sell to players, it's just the way it is so no I'm not thinking too much about the term factor in this proposed trade. Could this trade happen with one of Faulk or Hamilton going to the Jets, yeah but Jets management would be making a big mistake.

Without a doubt what I see on this site is people not understanding the value of term and way overvaluing prospects, some which have barely played in the AHL let alone the NHL.</div></div>

That last line I literally could not agree more with you but i disagree about hamilton being a mistake I think this trade to begin with is a mistake for carolina more than winnipeg but yes on a deal where both teams are sending a young stud player who can hold a offence on his own at times asking for more than a 2 year deal on an additional piece is wayyy to much for carolina to pay. But back to that last line you said i agree people overvalue the **** outta of players who havent spent a day playing in a best v best environment i think they way overvalue that but when it comes to a deal like this i think you are overlooking the fact that neither team can overpay and giving winnipeg and top 4 on a longterm plus a star forward isnt in there best interest i think you are missing the extra pieces value here in my opinion. But i should add its really nice having a good debate without either of us calling the other trash and stupid or some **** good on you man.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MisstheWhalers</b></div><div>Hamilton doesn't have much for term though, I'd rather have Bean if Pesce and Slavin are 'off the table.
I get the idea that the Jets are in 'win now' mode in so many peoples eyes but if you're trading a generational goal scorer like Laine you want to get as many controlled assets as possible not short term help like Hamilton, he's likely not signing in Winnipeg once he's ufa in two seasons.</div></div>

I get the generational thing I agree but saying that he can't be apart of the deal cause of remaining term isnt likely they arent getting pesce or slavin and bean is very possible but i think you are thinking wayyyy to much on term right now its svechnikov for laine thats the highlight the rest is meant to fill the voids winnipeg needs filled i 100 percent think they take hamilton on the term he has left they will need him for the next few seasons for sure and its worth it at that point I think people think that everyone needs three 7 year deals for 1 potential 8 year deal but thats just not how it works or ever goes down.

Thread: Crazy trade with Ottawa
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Khalenix</b></div><div>Ok dude, allow me to bow to your superior intelligence. But I guess the future will tell! :)</div></div>

im not going to pick sides or nothing but the truth is karlsson had nowhere near the value chabot has simply cause of term and impact on ice chabot is 22 and the best dman on the team and under contract for a while longer most likely 8 more years after this and karlsson was on his way out was about to be a ufa and honestly not as good in his zone as i feel chabot will be no offence to karlsson his offensive impact is MASSIVE but chabot i feel is more responsible in his zone and who knows could end up being a better dman. There is more of course especially since chabot is the anchor to there rebuild on defence and trading him away would make it diffcult to replace.

Thread: Prospect Tourney
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Claesson4Norris</b></div><div>Adding one of Lafreniere, Byfield, Holtz, Raymond or Lundell to this core should solidify them as a team with the skill to contend, assuming at least one of our goalies pans out, which should be pretty likely. All that remains to be seen is if Ottawa will actually pay them, but the White deal suggests they may be serious about winning with this core.</div></div>

Yeah i think the white deal solidifies what they have been trying to say for a while that they just wanted a fresh start not an in the playoffs one year out the other and that deal was a great place to start showing fans there commitment to a consistent future and getting brannstrom obviously helped last year helped there dcore for the future, this next draft should solidify the future long term.
