<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>OwenJMathews</b></div><div>I'm honestly not sure if you are trolling at this point or not.

He was the leading scorer on an awful Buffalo team this year. He will obviously slot behind McKinnon as 2C, and likely put up more points playing with any combination of Nichuskin, Lehkonen or Rantanen. MacFarland is not going to trade Byram for someone who is not going to be a long term part of this team.

It doesn't matter what I think, I'm literally just paraphrasing what MacFarland and Sakic have said at press conferences. They view Mitts as the long term solution at 2C.

As far as the cap space is concerned: Yes, we literally need that extra 4 million if we wanted to keep Mittelstadt and ice a full lineup.</div></div>

Wow, so confident yet so full of :sarcasm ...typical

You do know teams can spend 10% over the cap :scream in the off season including LTIR? :awesome That's plenty of room to sign Mits even IF he performs well and deal RyJo for a future 2nd if needed

Mits played most of his 5v5 with Skinner and Tuch and played top PP mins with Tage, lots of 40 goal scorers there... when was the last time Nichuskin and Lehkonen scored 40? 30?

And Rantanen plays 90% of all TOI with MacKinnon so try again

Sakic is a good GM, but he bungled up this TDL bad, guess we'll have to see

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Xqb15a</b></div><div>I’m just talking that the defending champ is the team to beat till they lose but some years yes it’s obvious. Like last year COL was just decimated with injuries, the weird Nichushkin situation it wasn’t them. This year it feels very wide open where I would say there are like 8 real contenders, and it might be who hits the biggest with their TDL acquisitions year that wins it. But yeah I agree with all your points I was being cliche really.</div></div>

What are your 8 teams?

Big TDL dealing teams almost never win the cup, can you think of examples for and against? VGK do seem like they won the TDL championship so we'll see

COL just didn't feel like they could compete with VGK last year [it doesn't matter the reasons, team 1 &gt; team 2], and it doesn't feel like that this year either now

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>OwenJMathews</b></div><div>Walker is significantly better (at least for this season specifically), you are legit the only person who thinks Peeke is better.

Avs don't have a 2nd for the next two years, meaning we would probably have to ship out a prospect or the first to get rid of RyJo anyway. Picking up Mittelstadt and trying to move RyJo's contract in the summer would have been very stupid.</div></div>

Peeke is more useful for this team, Walker was really bad for the LA last year/playoffs btw, and it cost a far future 3rd for Peeke is the point

RyJo doesn't cost a '24 2nd to move this summer and you don't have to anyway.... it's not worth a 1st to save 2.8M of cap space. Trading him at next years deadline is even cheaper, despite the '26 2nd.
