Thread: 1 Year Deal For Taylor Hall
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MitchMarnerElite </b></div><div>Thanks for the feedback. I don't agree with your take on Hall. Based on his statistics and on-ice results over a 3 season sample size, he's performed at the level of a top 5 LW in the game. His market value is around 10 million, so he'd be worth every penny. Here's a look at his stats since 2017/18:

<img class="for_img" src="https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Ehq1RafXkAAGIi5?format=png&amp;name=small" alt="Ehq1RafXkAAGIi5?format=png&amp;name=small"><img class="for_img" src="https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Ehq1RacWoAIVqRi?format=png&amp;name=small" alt="Ehq1RacWoAIVqRi?format=png&amp;name=small"><img class="for_img" src="https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Ehq1RabWkAI_iBw?format=png&amp;name=360x360" alt="Ehq1RabWkAI_iBw?format=png&amp;name=360x360">

If he gets less than that, it will be because of the league's financial situation as most teams can't afford to pay big salaries.</div></div>

I got your point. The problem is that he had a quite season offensively. 18 goals and 40 assists in 74 games isn't fancy numbers to worth 10M. Not even close. The season before he just played 33 games scoring just 11 goals in 33 games. That's not that good for a sniper like him. The point is that the GMs have "short memory" when they offer contracts. It means that what really matters to make them decide how much they'll offer is last season performances. And last season was a "just ok" season for Hall. I'd never give him more than 7M for 2 or 3 years, because he's getting injured recently and his offensive production declined. But I agree with you in one specif point: league financial situation will affect his contract and all the others as well. We'll see what's gonna happen in FA...

Thread: How to keep Pietrangelo
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>West_Virginia_Take_Me_Home</b></div><div>I would think some rebuilding team would take on steens contract for a mid pick. Ideally, Id like to improve our left side. Find a way to move faulk for a solid left winger. Maybe krieder?</div></div>

Wow! You're so optimistic thinking Steen's contract worth a mid pick. St. Louis should be cheering to dump him for a 6th or 7th with no retaining. Besides, I don't think Steen would waive his NTC to be traded to teams like Ottawa, Detroit or New Jersey. It's the same situation about Bozak. As for Faulk, St. Louis just re-signed him. So, no way to see him being traded right after re-sign, in my opinion. It's most reasonable to see Parayko being traded to improve left side. You must be realistic. Anyway, I don't think both will be traded next season. Probably, Parayko will be after next season.

Thread: How to keep Pietrangelo
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Lenny7</b></div><div>I wonder if the Blues could finagle him into 8 x $8.5 if he really wants to stay (which I assume he does because he said that, but maybe not, but really, who knows until the contract is signed).

Regardless, given that Tarasenko will be on LTIR to start the season, they'd probably be fine to keep whoever after a Steen buyout.

Also, I think (but I could be wrong) that conditional draft picks are no longer a thing.</div></div>

9M or 8.5 it's almost the same. It'll be something like that to stay in St. Louis. I still think they should buy Steen's contract out, cause almost 6M to terrible offensive producer is insane to a team which have to re-sign probably their most important player and don't have much cap space.

Also, I think (but I could be wrong) that conditional draft picks are no longer a thing.[/quote] Where did you see about it? I've never heard it and it makes no sense to me at all.

Thread: (STL/MTL) - Allen and 2022 7th RD pick for 2020 3rd RD pick and 2020 7th RD pick
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>HabsForEver</b></div><div>Khudobin/Greiss/Elliot aren't going to sign for 1 year and I like Allen better than Elliot anyways. This creates a hole for St.Louis as they now no longer have a backup goaltender and still don't have the cap to sign Pietrangelo. I think it works well for both teams, but Montreal just got a solid backup goaltender for signing Kovalchuk for a month. We still have tons of cap space so if we want to be aggressive in FA, we can. Even though I wouldn't like that idea.</div></div>

I just made a St. Louis armchair. Take a look and you'll see that they can keep Pietrangelo after Allen's trade. As for your team, I think Elliot will sign a 1 year contract, because his season was just ok. To me he'd be a solid backup for Price. He's no better than Allen, but his contract will have a better cost and benefit, in my opinion. Let me say again: 15M in 2 goalies is INSANE.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>HabsForEver</b></div><div>because we still have 16 Million Dollars in cap space and more picks and prospects than any other team in the league. We already have 20 similar prospects that that 3rd round pick will get us</div></div>

The 3rd rd pick isn't the greatest problem in this trade. I still think it's insane to spend almost 15M in 2 goalies, specially when you already have Price. Montreal would have very good options in FA to sign for less money. Goalies like Khudobin, Greiss and Elliot, for example. Those guys will probably sign contracts between 1.5M and 3M/season. Montreal would save salary cap AND their pick to have the oportunity to be more aggressive in FA. I keep my thoughts about this trade. NONSENSE by Montreal and GREAT MOVE by St. Louis.
