I'm a little weird, just like everyone else.

Thread: Dubas taking notes from Masai

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>PleaseBanMeForMyOwnGood</b></div><div>You offence is a problem, having a 90 point player makes you a better team. Even at the cost of Jones. You do have good depth on D. That is clear.</div></div>
There's literally nothing the Leafs have that makes giving up Jones worthwhile. (Well, maybe Matthews would do, although we'd be in contract trouble as a result).

If you'd like those four 1sts in exchange for Marner, though (replicating the offersheet scenario), then let's talk.

Thread: Vancouver Canucks

So I guess you're just outright ignoring feedback, right? Because you posted that very same Anderson trade in an AGM two days ago (<a href="https://www.capfriendly.com/armchair-gm/team/1817080">https://www.capfriendly.com/armchair-gm/team/1817080</a>) and were told then that those assets were of no value to the Jackets and so it was not a trade of interest. And yet here you are repeating it...

Also, that contract you have him signing is laughably, absurdly low. He's not going to take a pay cut.

No. Every Seth Jones proposal. All of them. The answer is no.

The answer continues to always be "no", by the way.

Thread: Affordable RHD

I was all set to say "no, this won't do it", and then I saw the picks and my eyes got all wide.

That'd likely get it done from the Jackets perspective, but I think Toronto can manage to address that issue without paying that much. Wow.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Miles_Togo</b></div><div>Why would we think that Nutivaara can handle deployment with Rielly, and on his offside?</div></div>
He's played RD as a top-4 guy before. That said, I don't think he's the sort of defensive-focused guy Toronto would want... and the Jackets aren't going to want any part of that proposal anyways so long as Texier is in it.

Thread: I think they might become buyers

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Wqrrior</b></div><div>The thing is... i don't think a 3rd is a low sell at this point. It's just a myth on this website that he is worth a 2nd, and no matter how poorly he performs, that label sticks. This kind of seals it... he can't crack the regular lineup (correct me if I'm missing something, an injury or something), and as such his value will drop move. This season was an absolute failure. If he won't be played on the roster, why hang on to him expecting a return that won't come?</div></div>
He gets that because that's the bare minimum return we'd expect if someone offer sheeted him.

Thread: Youth plus Kapanen and Anderson

If you want Anderson for something like that price, offer sheet him. We don't really have an interest in additional wingers, and we'd rather see if he can bounce back here rather than sell low on him.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>The_Cannon</b></div><div>If Harrington is in your top 4 you have a terrible injury problem or your desperate.</div></div>
Or you're developing someone and letting them ease their way up the lineup, which is what appears to be the case.

Thread: Fire Quinn

Honestly, I don't want to sell low on Nuti, and we'd be basically doing that since he's been top-4 in prior seasons but was unworthy of such a designation this past year. I'd rather keep him and expose him to the Kraken or otherwise find better value for him.

As for the Preds trade - definitely agree with <a href="/users/gmgb" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">@gmgb</a> on that one. Fewer, better pieces requested.

Going to assume CBJ is your stand-in for "any team that will take Kulak", because LDs are pretty much the last thing in the world we need.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jambo</b></div><div>Thats why I was confused haha. Do you think his value would be closer to a 5th or 3rd?</div></div>
Closer to the 3rd as he's an okay bottom pairing defenseman. We're just a tad spoiled for quality here.

Forum: Armchair-GMMon at 1:27 pm

Thread: Vancouver Canucks

Juolevi is without value to the Jackets because we're overstrength at LD, and Baertschi has negative value to the Jackets because he's a high cap hit winger. That Anderson trade isn't happening.

Thread: Did you watch the game last night

omg I wish. No way in hell that Cirelli trade goes through.

If we're going to poach a player cheaply from Tampa, it'll likely be TyJo. Cirelli is a priority; they'll sacrifice much before they let him go that easily.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Boomer125</b></div><div>If both teams fail to get past the play in round only then can I see these 2 teams making a massive trade and this is massive</div></div>
Potentially, but right now the Preds defense has three absolutely fantastic guys, one young prospect still learning the ropes, and then a heap of rejects from the parts bin. We can't really afford to trade <strong>any</strong> of those blueliners right now.

Forum: Armchair-GMMon at 1:13 pm

Thread: Was told to trade Marner instead

Same response as in your other AGM with the Marner-to-Preds trade - can't afford to lose Ekholm, and can't afford to hit the prospect pool that hard.

Forum: Armchair-GMMon at 1:12 pm

Thread: Leafs

It's a tough call, but given the lack of guys ready to move up on the blueline (and given my love of both of those guys ;) ) I think I'd rather have Ellis and Arvidsson.

Forum: Armchair-GMMon at 1:11 pm

Thread: Laf in Marner out

Preds would likely have to decline. Can't afford to give up Ekholm, and the prospect pool is too thin to afford losing Tomasino and the 1st. Marner would be very nice to have, though.

Thread: Lafreniere

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Leafs_and_Sens_Fan</b></div><div>Lol. Murray as a top pairing D. Okay you lost all credibility.

What team is he a "top pairing D".</div></div>
Right here in Columbus, actually. Werenski's overall better because he's an actual #1D, but has a different skillset, so sometimes Murray subs in on top with Jones. It was a lot more common for him to do so when Werenski was still developing. Ask Dom Luszczyszyn if you don't want to believe me. He's not a #1, but he's just fine as the second guy there.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Leafs_and_Sens_Fan</b></div><div>Comparing him to RNH. Are you serious. He's closer to a cap dump than RNH.</div></div>
Work on your reading skills. I was saying that Murray is "comparable" to Russell the same way RNH is "comparable" to Riley Nash. In both cases you have Canadian players who play the same position and were each drafted by the same team, but that's as close as the similarities get.

Thread: Lafreniere

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Leafs_and_Sens_Fan</b></div><div>Neal and Wennberg are both big cap dumps. Neal costs more so I threw in a 1st.</div></div>
Wennberg can be bought out at pennies compared to Neal - as you well know, as you took advantage of that. The difference is a hell of a lot more than a 1st.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Leafs_and_Sens_Fan</b></div><div>Russell and Murray are pretty similar.</div></div>
Only in the sense that they're both Canadian-born hockey players. Otherwise they couldn't possibly be more different. Murray is a good-sized top-pairing quality defenseman who does good things on the power play and has the best breakout pass on this team but is unfortunately frequently injured. Russell is an undersized bottom-pairing fill-in who makes up for his deficiency in actual defense by leaping into shooting and passing lanes like he's a backup goaltender, and as a result is also frequently injured (altho generally not as long). Calling them "similar" is like suggesting RNH and Riley Nash are "similar".

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Leafs_and_Sens_Fan</b></div><div>Threw in Benning as a sweetener but we can keep him if you don't want him.</div></div>
Since when does a two-million-dollar (that'd be his QO) bottom pairing guy constitute a "sweetener"?

If and only if he signs an offer sheet in that compensation range.

Thread: Los Angeles Kings

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jacketsman61</b></div><div>That trade isn’t enough for LA. But as far as the Jackets go, they take it and run. I get your argument here about the 1st round picks. You are not wrong but a player like Kopitar would be helpful. I don’t think he is going to be an albatross as he has produced numbers with and without talent. Plus, the CBJ do have other players they can move to get more draft picks from. Cap wise, you are right. With Z and Jones needing new contracts not sure they can afford him.</div></div>
Kopitar is 32 and his $10m/year contract lasts until he's 36. And the cap is going to be flat for several years. That's almost a guaranteed albatross.

Forum: Armchair-GMSat at 7:29 pm

Thread: Lafreniere

Well, gosh, let me think. We can either have another year of a defenseman who's top-pairing quality when he's available (too bad that's not that often)... or we can swap him out for dead cap (Russell would not be able to get ice time here), , take on an additional six million dollars in completely dead and useless cap space that extends for three more years (Neal would have severe trouble getting playing time here; we don't have enough space for the wingers we have), and as compensation for this hardship we get... a mid-to-late first in 2021, and the opportunity to add to our cap woes even more for little or no benefit.

You're being very penny wise/pound foolish with Anderson here. The odds of getting useful time from him bouncing back are much, much better than the odds of getting any NHL games at all from those picks.

I wouldn't. Tuulola wouldn't be able to get playing time here, and the picks aren't enough to be worth passing on the Andy bounceback gamble.
