Thread: (PIT/CAR) - Guentzel, Smith for Bunting, Koivunen, Ponomarev, Lucius, 2024 2nd (PHI), 2024 5th (CAR)
If Guentzel will re-sign or/and Carolina go and win Cup this is huge win for Carolina.

If Guentzel is just rental and Carolina not win Cup i think its fair trade.

If all teams knew Guentzel want to test FA market, it probably dropped his price a lot. Many team who was looking forward also made they deals, what probably dropped price too. Dubas was waiting too long. Guentzel injury probably dropped his value too. I dont have history data in here to comparate from last couple years from pure rentals (i have headache so sorry for being lazy and not look at trades from last couple trade deadline to comparate to this). Koivunen has done well in here Finland. Who know, maybe you got solid top 6 player on him and you didnt lose Guentzel free and he could re-sign with PIT next summer or maybe PIT was able to avoid overpaying him now. Dubas has given some big contracts in past. Ofc PIT should have got 1st round pick, because they didnt got any Carolina top 5 talents.

Ofc i watch this more on Caroline side when i voted fair trade now. I will come back to this once i see playoffs and next time i will come back after 3-5 year to see if Guentzel new contract is still good and see where is prospects what PIT got.

Thread: (ANA/TBL/EDM) - Henrique, Carrick, 2024 7th (ANA) for Taylor, 2024 7th (TBL), 2025 5th (TBL) for 2024 1st (EDM), 2025 4th (EDM), 2025 5th (EDM)
What you think is there coming D-man trade too from EDM? I thought they would use they first round pick to d-man. I like that EDM was able to add Carrick in trade. That was awesome adding. Many times those fourth liners make a difference when serie go to game seven.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jpsnow13</b></div><div>Tampa is last team I would think enclined to retain salary for a low pick. What am I missing here!?


</div></div>

So agree with you. I didnt wait this either from Tampa. Why to help team who you could see in Stanley Cup playoffs (in this case in Finals) Maybe Tampa dont think they will be in Stanley Cup finals this year or they dont think EDM will be in there, but this is strange.

Thread: (COL/BUF) - Byram for Mittelstadt
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>HockeyScotty</b></div><div>When the Avs committed long term to Devon Toews, the writing was on the wall for Byram to get moved. They put him on his off-hand side to try and increase his value and it worked.

I posted this trade as my perfect offer for the Avs to get a quality young #2 Center.

I don't see what it really does for Buffalo who are so overweight on the LHD and similiar types of players</div></div>

Yes and maybe after Colorado saw Malinski playing in NHL lvl, it made more easy to trade Byram? Ofc I seen Malinski just 23 game, but i like it him a lot. I been thinking for while, who could be that second C for Colorado and after i saw they traded Mittlestadt i think it can be perfect fit, if they can keep his salary to 5-6milj range.

I also agree on those worries that BUF just added one more LD, maybe they re-trade Byram or maybe he get use to play RD better in new system, but i agree its bit weird.

I voted fair deal.

Thread: Vancouver Canucks signed Elias Pettersson (8 Years / $11,600,000 AAV)
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>aadoyle</b></div><div>I mean lets be full on honest

If Huberdeau was still doing what he was doing in FLA and Weegar continued this performance for 4-5 years it would be fine. Huberdeau's seismic drop which still is hard to pinpoint is the reason it looks bad along with FLA's Cinderella run

Cause Weegar has been one of the better defenders this year and has 15 goals rn. Hes been basically the reason its not been a seismic mistake. If Huberdeau was still 80+ point guy and Weegar was doing his thing nobody would be complaining and some would argue fair trade</div></div>


Its look bad now, but lets wait couple more year. FLA has window open now and if they bring Cup and Huberdeau will be bought out, then we can see who is winner, but for now its look like bad for Trevling. I fully understand your points tho. Ppls in here Capfriendly did vote 232vs41 win for CGY when trade was done (35 fair votes). Things can change very fast in hockey and you cant predict everything.

In my mind, Dubas was part of creating culture in Toronto where they are giving very high cap hits for they stars, so now i see that every RFA or free agent want max value when signing in Toronto. How much Shanahan had influence on those contracts stay question mark.

I like Pettersson new contract, i think he left money to table, that way you give your team more flexibility to build Stanley Cup team. I hope they can re-sign Lindholm and Hronek too. Maybe they let Myers walk? and use that extra 6 milj to re-sign Hronek and Lindholm

Thread: (PIT/CBJ) - Nylander, 2026 6th (PIT) for Bemström
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>KSIxSKULLS</b></div><div>Still a weird condition. He still traded a 6th round pick for a guy who you now want to limit if he's actually good, and if he's good you want to scratch him so you don't give up a high draft pick.</div></div>

Maybe they didnt had cap space then? I think he was waiwers in November? So his Cap hit would been higher for Pens (Mean almost 100% of 900 000dollar). Or do PIT still need to pay full cap hit (this year) or is cap hit divided on days? I am not fully sure about rule. Second what i think is, that now they roster size stay in 48/50. So if they would taken Bemström from waiwers, they would been able to add only 1 contract more in rest of the season. Now giving Nylander they still stay in 48/50. Contract management can be important in trade deadline if you are buyer. For draft pick, i think they had to pay it, because Bemström potential is bit higher and he can see NHL time in PIT and Nylander wasnt able to see NHL time in PIT.

Sorry if my english is bit hard to read, bit difficult topic to explain with my lvl of english.

Thread: Edmonton fire Woodcroft and hire Knoblauch
Edmonton has fired Woodcroft, i dont see it huge surprise, but hiring Knoblauch is surprise. I believe Edmonton should have choose some with high authority, who could make Edmonton play more as team and not hunt individual success. They offensive gamestyle been enjoyable to watch when its work, but when its not work its not fair to put all blame to goalies. Edmonton could still take playoff spot and if you look roster, it should be playoff team, but problem is that some team ahead of them like Wild and Seattle has started slowly too. I know many Edmonton fans would like to believe Edmonton could do same as STL couple year ago, but STL did play as team and did run four lines and had high authority coach behind bench and also Edmonton would have to jump over Seattle, Minnesota and St. Louis who all has started bit slow this season and Anaheim have high potential to take playoff spot this year and Arizona could surprise. Who know maybe even Nashville find they game. I dont know Knoblauch as coach, has he authority to make team play as team and bench or cutdown McDavid and Draisatl gametime if there others who play better game/period.

Thread: (MIN/SJS) - Addison for Raska, 2026 5th (SJS)
I think this is huge win for San Jose. San Jose have good forwards, but no defenders who could start offences from d-zone. Addison can do it. I think this help San Jose, but trade not help Wild current problems. Even that Dumba wasnt same player than before, losing him did hurt team. I followed Wild long and in my mind biggest reason why Wild havent success in Playoffs was that Wild missing that star lvl offensive defender. Spurgeon is solid and good two-way defender and Brodin one of NHL best defensive defender. If they wouldnt trade Burns, who know, maybe Wild could have won Cup. I think Wild should have got more on Adison, but its not first time when Guerin is inpatiance or/and lazy. I still cant believe we bought out Sutter when we could trade him for Dallas and retain 50% salary. Suter made equally long contract and 3,6milj cap hit, so instead paying 7milj in salary penalty we could be paying only 3-4 milj.

Addison have potential to be come solid 30-50 point defender in NHL, this could look very bad in couple years.

Thread: (CBJ/PHI) - Atkinson for Voracek
I think its fair deal. You cant comparare Atki and Voracek, they are different types of players. Voracek is more offensive guy and Atkinson two-way player. Columbus needed more on Panarin type of guy, who can be passer and offensive force. Laine is great player, not my favorite, but once he get his game back to shape, he is top 6 player. Voracek and Laine might be good duo which need two-way center middle of them. In this trade i see that Columbus fixed need what they had. They needed playmaker. You also have to remember, Jarmo didnt trade Korpi or Elvis to Voracek, he didnt use Jones to Voracek either. You have to pay something to get solid and good top 6 player in this league. Atkinson was great player for Columbus, loved by fans and will be missed. Both teams got great player, which fill teams needs. WIN/WIN in my mind.
