Thread: What Lou should do but prob wont bcuz hes old and loyal to contracts

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Logan_Ollivier</b></div><div>I can't wait until you guys realize you are spending the season with a 5 million dollar backup. TO isn't giving you a 1st for 1 year of a backup</div></div>
Regardless of the proposal here.. Varly is arguably the best goalie in this market he isn’t a backup

Thread: Mangiapane wasnt tripped

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>joshelkin</b></div><div>I think you overpaid Trocheck by a bit and that's a lot for Mangiapane. It's definitely Beauvillier+ to land him but I'm not sure it's that much</div></div>
Overpaid a little to keep years at 5 instead of 6/7 potentially.. idk mangiapane exact value so figured would go a bit more than necessary maybe imagine it would be hard to pry him from cgy

Thread: Not totally buying the Kurz tweet

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>joshelkin</b></div><div>I really believe Lou will give it a shot. Even if it's not Gaudreau I can see trading Bailey and signing a better UFA. Maybe a hockey trade for Tarasenko (involving Beau?) if Bailey is kept. I just don't think we're done. If we are Lou should be put in a home</div></div>

Yup I’m in the same boat.. I think if a cheap LD3 is available on a bargain (Dunn or soucy potentially) I’m all over it.. idk what forwards but we NEED one

if Dobson takes the next step the defense is in the same stratosphere (in the sense of an overall outlook cause no one here touches makar) but my god the forwards are not even in the same galaxy we’re talking 3 maybe 4 guys you could easily justify 10+ mil with

Thread: Bailey and varly not available

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>linehan10</b></div><div>Why would you shop two of your top six forwards when there’s no agreement in place? If Gaudreau goes elsewhere, you’re now down two top six forwards and don’t have anything to show for it. I’m begging you to use your brain</div></div>
I am using my brain you need to get a sense of the market BEFORE you get to FA if you want to make a move you can use a 10% overage as an argument but that kills all leverage the isles may have to make a deal.. you don’t deal him before an agreement is in place but you make him available or get a sense as to who would want him and what they would be willing to move

Massive mistake to still let him finish the year as GM if they’re not a lock in a playoff spot by the deadline and that’s concerning

Thread: Alternative roster with keeping Varlamov - option 2

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>joshelkin</b></div><div>Yeah JG or Forsberg are the only guys you make option 1 for. This is probably more realistic but I think we really need that bonafide scorer. I wonder if Kane forced his way out of Chicago how things would look. Maybe get them to retain 50% and take Bailey back in more of a futures based deal.</div></div>

Yeah I agree but also in this scenario salo absolutely has to get moved and ideally for a future wing.. defense is set for 5-6 years with a rotating 3RD (assuming mayfield too expensive) I’m also not really in the rental wing game offense too old gotta get younger there but again idk who you go after at this point unless someone has contract talks blow up (only guys off top of my head who could fit that are Meier Larkin Horvat Nylander and the WPG forwards if they blow it up)

Thread: Alternative roster with keeping Varlamov - option 2

This option much better imo.. would rather keep beau then dump off palms next off-season when he’s got 16 team ntc to free up space (I also don’t think JG comes here)

Next years 1st should be on the table for absolutely no one rn unless they’re under team control and young.. ie debrincat level and no one is really on the market.. save the 1st too valuable

I agree id move out lots of others first but I could also simply see teams being willing to offer something they wouldn't be able to refuse or maybe they have a different plan this off season and want to go after a big name forward.. idk I don't think they SHOULD move him but they could say we can't get over the hump lets make a bigger move
