Thread: Hellebuyck Trade
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Tombot97</b></div><div>In future Kings 2023 ACGM I will do Petersen, Spence, Helenius, and a 2nd in 2024 or 2025 if I send him to SJS for a 5th/6th pick. Helenius is a monstrous 6'6" 20 year center drafted in the 2nd with 2 more years on his ELC. He fits the type of player Grier wants, and your timeline. The trade would happen after Petersen's 4 million dollar signing bonus this summer(after the 2023 draft), so it's only 7 million in salary over the next 2 years.
I see Bruins fans sending Ullmark to LA a lot since they were eliminated, but he has a full NMC so I went with Helluybuck instead. Gustavsson is someone I wasn't considering, but I just saw Fleury has a NMC, and we did the Fiala trade with them last year. Hopefully Minnesota would take picks and prospects again. I don't think Rob Blake will move any impact NHL roster players for a goalie this summer and instead would resign Korpisalo, or keep Petersen and pry that he improves.</div></div>

If it’s after the bonus Spence a 24 2nd and Petersen for a 6th is fair.

While it seems stupid to trade away a goalie who played as well as Gustavsson Min is in a huge cap crunch and paying him gets tough, especially with Fleury’s NMC and a goalie like Wallstedt who is going to be Elite in the AHL who could really benefit from a year or two backing up Fleury and getting that kind of mentorship!

If sharks were at all close to being competitive I would nix this deal and go after Gust myself but our timeline is 2-3 years out still

Thread: Hellebuyck Trade
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Tombot97</b></div><div>We just signed Portillo, and Villalta had a great year in the starts he had in the AHL. I would expect us to resign him so Mann, a 24 year old goalie prospect, doesnt fit the timeline. Maybe an 18-20 year old goalie unsigned would work. Weisblatt would be interesting. If a Helluybuck/Ullmark level trade includes 2 of F**emo, Chromiak, and Laferriere we could want Weisblatt. Either to replace them on the AHL roster or be flipped in the trade for Helluybuck/Ullmark. I honestly don't see us moving a 1st at all in a Petersen capdump especially if it includes Spence. It would hurt Blakes ego too much to do it this offseason. Hypothetically if it was on the table we would want back a young big LD Defensive-Defensemen prospect on his ELC(better fit than Spence a RD offensive-defensemen) or the devils 2nd if it wasn't so complicated. the 2023 and 2025 3rds might work. Also why would you want to give up Ozzy Weisblatt? He seems like a prospect that fits your timeline.</div></div>

I like Ozzy but sharks have a lot of smaller forwards and Grier is pushing bigger so that’s why I added him.
Sharks have more LD and little to no RD so this could work! but the only big stay home LD that are NHL close are Knyzhov and Thurn both just signed and not likely to be moved, we have Guryev Cicek and Othotiyuk all decent but would say they are C grade prospects (bottom pairing/ 7D guys) the 2nd plus Spence would be a light and I would say the return would be FC with that offer. 5 mil a year for 2 years of a cap dump is a lot to take on!
And Hellebuyck is probably not the best option for you guys, I would look at Ullmark since Boston is in such a cap crunch and could be had for less Gustavenson from Min since Wallstedt is NHL ready and utilizing Fleury last year if his deal to be a mentor would be smart, or even Lehner from Vegas

Thread: Hellebuyck Trade
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Tombot97</b></div><div>Sounds good to me! I rate Spence as the better prospect as a guaranteed 3rd pair NHLer with top 4/PP time potential. Grans is younger, bigger, and has an extra ELC year so I understand wanting him instead. I was lazy and put the 7th but it would absolutely nothing back AKA FC.</div></div>

Works for me. I like Grans fit better agewise. Hawks have a little bit of a RHD logjam until Murphy/Zaitsev move on or get to UFA, with Seth Jones not going anywhere and Regula a guy that needs some oppurtunity this season for at leasst some NHL games. There is next to nothing between Rinzel who is headed to college and going to be there for several years and Regula for RHD. I think a Petersen dump has to involve one of Grans, Spence, or Pinella for the Hawks to be involved, cause the 2nd round picks are end of the round (especially with Petersen's cap space to spend on players instead of being dead space).

Thread: Trying to manage a 23 man roster with no trades
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Tombot97</b></div><div>I was assuming JAD and Andersson would be given a chance opening night if they were QO'ed but one could be sent down right away and risk waivers. How common is it to resign a guy and send him down during preseason? This is only the second season I have followed the NHL to this extent of researching contracts and reviewing the CBA etc.</div></div>

They won't send him down during preseason. They'll give him every chance to make the team during training camp, and they'll make a decision on the final day.

The reason why Andersson chose to take a deal for significantly less than his qualifying offer amount of $918k, is because his QO would have been a two-way contract, while the deal he signed at $750k, is one way. That leads me to believe that he expects to play at least part of the season in the AHL. $750k is a lot more than the $70k he would have made in the AHL had he accepted his QO.

Thread: Cap Space with Edler Signed
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Tombot97</b></div><div>Since the limit of an offer-sheet with no compensation is 1.38 AAV durzi will get at least 1.4. MANY teams would take him at that price for free if the kings don't match.
Also Vilardi's QO is around 940K.
Besides those 2 things this is exactly what I have them doing next year. Hopefully no offer-sheets at 2.1AAV for Durzi.</div></div>

I was worried about this as well, but I find the offer sheet possibilities very unlikely right now.

From a GM perspective: Do you want to ruin a relationship with another GM for an offer sheet they will absolutely match? Especially one who will need to move a bunch of prospects over the next few seasons. Anderson will likely be matched up to $4-5M and teams aren't sure if his results are tied directly to Doughty, and Durzi is too unproven to make a Kotkaniemi-esque offer.

Even if Durzi gets a $2.1 offersheet you match and send Lias Andersson, JAD, Walker, or anyone away, and you move Durzi next season to the Coyotes make a statement on what happens to players signing offer sheets.
