Thread: My Take

I knowthis is your take but bemstrom is definitely gonna be out of any trade talks. Torts has said that jarmo thinks of bemstrom as a “top line player”. He did an interview a while back and this shows time that bemstrom has too high of a value internally to ever be traded within the calendar year.

I also don’t think there will be any add ons to this trade. Just from the tweets I’ve gathered. It seems that they want Dubois to be the only player dealt from off the roster.

Thread: Too much cap on 4 guys

Dubois is an rfa when his deal is up so take out one of the first or korpi and it’s considered by the cbj.

Thread: Dubois White 2021

What happened to Colin white? Can any Ottawa fan help me out with this. I liked him a few years ago.
And as the cbj trade is concerned, I think the established nhl player might have to be younger than Henrique. I’ve suggested rakell but just curious to see how this plays out.

Thread: Dubios packages NO ZEGRAS

As a cbj fan. I really like the first trade. How far apart are Henrique and rakell. What would have to be removed/ added to switch them around?
Because I’m assuming there is a bidding war. As has been reported with how many teams are in on PLD. And if rakell is the ask instead of Henrique, what is the counter/ response.

Thread: Three way trade

I think the jackets may want more than a prospect, a middle six winger and a second for their number one center but that’s just me.
There really is no need to add Winnipeg in this trade. Alex tuch is the second best asset in this trade and the jackets don’t even get him. (Not a positional need but still).
We should make a trade with Winnipeg for something around laine, ehlers or Connor and a trade with Vegas for something around glass with some major adds.

I don’t know if I’d do marner for Jones or Dubois in a 1-1. Let alone both our number one dman and number one center.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Hypernova227</b></div><div>CBJ does not want a top 6 winger with Stanley Cup experience, ok noted.</div></div>

Top 6 player is very generous for killorn. While cbj could use him, the cost to the cap would be too high with all of the players coming up that need extensions. So you may keep your Stanley cup experienced “top 6 player” and we can keep our cap space.

Thread: Sabres

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Lsendel3</b></div><div>Idk about that. Depends on what they think for a 3 year outlook. Jenner and Okposo are pretty close to equal offensively, and KO is the far superior defensive player and the retention there makes their salary very close (4.65 x 2 vs 5.1 x 3). It’s that extra year that sucks, but that’s what the second and prospect are for. They probably don’t do it, but I’ve seen much worse KO proposals.</div></div>

Your underrating what Jenner brings to the cbj. Which is fine but we’re looking for upgrades not lateral moves that add more cap.

Thread: Can it work

Unless Alec regula is the next panarin I don’t think we’re trading Elvis for scraps. Especially not to a divisional rival this season.

Also the Sami signing is not needed. Peeke and kukan can play bottom pair minutes with Carlson and Harry being 7 and 8.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Gmonwy</b></div><div>If we were to trade Johnny and Hanifin to Columbus I personally would want PLD back as part of the deal</div></div>

And that’s where the deal would fall apart in my honest estimation. They would be pushing for the playoffs if this were a real trade and trading their number one center is not how you push for the playoffs.

Thread: Improve D and let andersen go

Ok the marner trade doesn’t work for Jones 1-1 so adding our BEST forward AND our best goalie (arguably) is out of the question.

Thread: Sharks idea

Evander may return one of those assets. Definitely not both and most definitely not from Columbus. While it’s a good fit on paper they are now back in free agent market and before that they were squeezing teams who needed cap. So they are not in the right space to spend high end assets to add to the lines.

Thread: If contracts were actual value

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>pharrow</b></div><div>look unless he breaks out into some 30+ goal season it's not even an argument. We won't know what he would have hit last year.
But what I do know is this, I see him signing a Pasta, Jake Guentzel like deal. He'll get 6, and with term it will look good over time. As long as he continues to develop. I don't think after Wennberg they are just going to throw 8 million at him.</div></div>

that’s what I’m saying brooksie,
But in all seriousness I’m expecting him to take that next step and to hit that 30 goal marker. If he doesn’t then I see a the same as you. Around 6.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>pharrow</b></div><div>like I said, I like the player, but he's not worth 8.6.</div></div>

If he takes another step and hits his projected stats. I believe he is. Great on both sides of the puck. Drives offense and can score “easy” goals. He’s young and if he proves he can play at that level year after year he is worth that 8 million.

You do know Ryan Murray was just traded for a forth? Why would he suddenly gain the value of 2nd 3rd and Matt Roy. All are arguably more valuable than Murray.

This needs some work. Retool the ideas and return. Idea remove the Arizona one for starters. Those deals never happen. It’s a good way to get a gm fired.

And before cbj traded away Murray and nutivarra. And signed koivu. So there isn’t a reason cbj make this trade at the current moment.

Thread: 3D 2F System

Ok this is what bothers me about this idea. How would it work differently than a 2-3 offense? The center is basically a third defenseman and in the dzone he’s never higher than the puck. Why the need to have 3 defenseman on the ice when a center (f3 doesn’t need to be center just usually is) could just fill the role anyways. Just change the structure of offense.

Forum: Armchair-GMNov 10, 2020 at 9:52

Thread: Tweaks your thoughts

Ok with the savard trade. It is extremely unlikely we trade him due to us already having traded nutivarra and Murray. He’s our 3/4 and don’t have a for sure replacement. So if you want savard now it’s a steep overpay.

Thread: Montour

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Stanley_Cup_To_Manhattan</b></div><div>Nope actually. The ask for Montour is a 2nd round pick. Well that's what it would take a team with playoff aspirations to trade a top 4 RHD.</div></div>

Ok well thanks for clarifying. I’ll report back to jarmo, that our offer to you the gm of the sabers was insufficient. My apologies.
All joking aside it’s just not the fit for cbj. He’d be a bottom pair guy on our team and it’s not worth it for us to spend that much when we have competent bottom pair guys already.

Thread: Montour

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Stanley_Cup_To_Manhattan</b></div><div>Montour is a solid 2nd pair defenseman and doesn't "blow". The situation in Buffalo "blows". He doesn't go for a 1st rounder if he wasn't good. If CBJ wants him it'll cost more. Period.</div></div>

While I agree it would take more I just don’t think it’s that much more. Up the 5th to a conditional 4th if he plays in x games. It turns into a 3rd.

A tale of 2 stories. Funny how people view trades so far apart. As a rental, I don’t see how he’s fetching more than a depth dman with little upside, a prospects and a pick.
