Thread: flip flop
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Billy739</b></div><div>Off the top of my head :in the past 5 year or so

Martin St Louis
Ryan Callahan
Jason Pommenville

then there's atleast another half dozen like Phaneuf , Alfredson ,Iginla , Morrow ,Streit, ext .

It happens more often then you'd think when the new core pushes out the old core mostly but there is a couple cases where playoff teams trade their captains.
It really depends on who's in their system to replace them .

Pommenville was gone as soon as Parise showed up his days were numbered.
St.Louis had the Triplets line , Stamkos, Kucherov and Drouin in the mix
Callahan had his shot to lead NYR to a cup and despite still playing well at the time NYR valued St Louis higher offensive upside and PP numbers .

all that said you might be right but ask yourself , would anyone choose to stay in the NHL's smallest market ?
especially given the lack of success come playoffs they've had since their inception with only 2 series wins vs VGK 3 series wins in their first year .

CBJ doesnt have the commitment it takes to be a cup winner IMO
you get what you invest into a product and until last year CBJ didnt invest anything resembling a contender .</div></div>

I agree that captains have been traded before but like what is that, we don’t have the commitment. I can agree in the first 10 years but in recent memory it’s a lazy narrative that needs to die.

Thread: sharks trade at the draft
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Baphomet</b></div><div>Sharks pass, we don’t need another borderline starting goalie. If SJ upgrades in net it needs to be a legit starter with consistently good career numbers. Sharks are seriously lacking right handed wingers and losing our best one for a mediocre borderline starting tender is a big mistake.</div></div>
Fair enough just thought I would test the water see what people’s thoughts were.
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Ajp_18</b></div><div>I don’t think Columbus would make this trade.. Labanc is an upgrade in a position we don’t really have a need for an upgrade in, I’d theater trade Milano and Korpisalo for a top 6 Center, then a top 6 wing that we really don’t need.</div></div>

While I agree we need a top 6 c is the goal I don’t think this will get you that. I think Savard or Murray is more likely to fetch that center.

Thread: Going all in now
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Billy739</b></div><div>do a 3 way with CBJ and SJS to make it easier

you want Backes out , Anderson and Thornton in
i think you got to get CBJ to retain on Backes before sending him to SJS .
Backes at a reasonable cap would be welcome on most teams so even if they dont keep him SJS can retain up to half his original salary and move him again to a contender for a good pick . (Hainsey,Plekanen and Timmonen are returns less talented players then Backes got at points they had their lowest value in years so Backes will bring in something worth moving him )</div></div>

No chance we retain on Backes. We have Dubois Gavrikov Korpisalo and Elvis coming off the books and need new deals. We just can’t afford to retain any unless it’s for like a first plus which is an extreme overpay.
