Thread: Final piece to be a top contender Pietrangelo

I probably overstated when I said your team plays a old school game. I should have said that St. Louis is a more physical than a north-south team. The only old school team of the league is the Kings indeed. Not surprise they are one of the worst teams in the NHL.

Thread: Dubnyk Trades Flames Flyers Jackets
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MNBassman</b></div><div>Having an inexpensive vet like Dubnyk split games with Hart for the next 2+ years is not a bad idea at all...which is why I think the Flyers are (as reported) currently trying to acquire Cam Talbot...</div></div>

Maybe...but I still think Hart should be their top goalie to make his growth even faster . And a goalie like Dubnyk would take his spot. On the other hand, I admit having an veteran goalie like Dubnyk spliting games with him could help his development as well. Like Murray's case spliting games with Flower. It'd depend of how much Flyers would have to spend to get Dubnyk...if I were their GM, I wouldn't spend so much to get another goalie. For example, I wouldn't trade one of my top players or prospects. They could get Ryan Miller or Varlamov in FA for 2 seasons. I think it'd be a better move from them. I'd go with Miller. He's a 38 and still a very good vet goalie who could help Hart's game a lot.

Thread: Duchene and Simmonds
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ajc</b></div><div>I personally think it is a waste of time. Together they don't get us the cup and now at seasons end you lost two good prospects and a first pick.</div></div>

If you really thinks like that, then you're underestimating your team. I disagree. Duchene would give Boston an immediate offensive impact. He's a speedster two-way C/RW. So, get him would get some offensive flexibility to Boston, which could put him as their 2nd C or 2nd RW. As for Simmonds, he's a grinder who can shoot the puck and also play in front of the net. A type of player which Bruins loves to use. He'd fit pretty well for them. And finally as for the prospects and first pick, a "win now" team like Boston cannot care about that. Look at Pens, for example. We get rid most of our best prospects and our picks every single season to get some key players, like Kessel and Schultz. As for result we won back to back cups.

Thread: Duchene and Simmonds
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mcordaro</b></div><div>Not even close to enough to get Duchene. Backes would never go there and if he did you would have to include another 1st rd pick.

Simmonds has not been good this year. A lot of GMs are steering away from trading for him. I think its time we stop imagining a trade for him. (unless insanely cheap)

I think its more likely that the Bs trade for a 3C than anything else. Something like JT Compher, Devin Shore, Tierney, Granlund, maybe even Brassard.</div></div>

Another 1st to get a rental it'd be insane. I'd never do that. As for Simmonds, I agree he's not having his best season, but he worths a shot, specially in a team like Boston, which fits him pretty well. A 3C would be another good idea for them. Idk if they could get JT or Tierney. Devin Shore is a good two-way player, but his offensive skills aren't good enough to improve Boston's offense as they need. So, Brassard would make more sense to me.

Thread: Final piece to be a top contender Pietrangelo
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Juice</b></div><div>I don't mind the valuation of the trade...I just question how it would work logistically with the cap next year...not enough 2019-20 cap dollars are being sent to St. Louis to make this work.

I like the idea of maybe giving a 3rd or 4th round pick to the rangers for McQuaid. I like the idea even more if we overpay a bit on McQuaid and send Zaitsev along with him...then I can get behind this kind of deal.

Why is Gardiner having a bad season? Leaf fans just can't be happy with this guy for some reason. He's trying to play a more defensively responsible game...so taking less risk and getting less points as a result....but his traditional and advanced stats over the last 3-4 years make him a top 20 dman in the league...despite what anyone wants to b_itch and moan about. People like to jump on him for his turnovers...but go look at the league leaders in turnovers for defencemen....the top of the charts is littered with all-stars. Toronto fans don't give this guy the credit he deserves. No...he's not going to muscle a guy away from the crease...he's not that type of defender...but he's a damn good offensive defenceman.

If cap and everything else worked out....he could be sent to St. Louis in a similar deal that Evander Kane had with Buffalo/San Jose...picks conditional on him re-signing....I don't think anything makes sense this season...but could see a deal this summer once the Leafs would also be able to extend Pietrangelo...which of course means Gardiner will already be a UFA and different assets will need to be used</div></div>

First of all: I'm not a Leafs fan. I'm a Pens fan.

Second: There's some moves that could be made to afford Toronto to bring Pietrangelo. One of them could be trade Zaitsev. Another option could be trade Kapanen. Anyway, there'd be some options on the table and Pietrangelo worths all of them, in my opinion. As for Mcquaid, he'd be a good option as well. Much easier than mine. But, of course, with much less guarantees than Pietrangelo's. And finally, as for Gardiner, I still don't think he's playing a good hockey right now. His value certainly dropped last season and even more in this one. He's not playing well enough offensively and his defensive game is still below the average. I think he needs some fresh air to get back on his track. St. Louis could be a good option.
