Thread: Who says no
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Billy739</b></div><div>So most habs Fans arent die hard QMJHL Supporters who follow stars from Junior up ?
Living somewhere and understanding its culture if you're not apart of it are not the same

I'm from the only Billingual Province front seat to intense hockey markets such as NS hockey but its nothing compared to Quebec
Those fans travel with kids to watch them play all over relgiously

Serge Drouin i've knowned long before i ever thought his son would actually make the NHL
He leads the Away Team Convoy for our Rival Halifax Moose Heads since like 2003 was the first time i met him

Reality is i've seen more Junior games this year then probably both you combined in the past 5
I talk to the people you're bad mouthing and they deffinately know hockey at all levels.
Especially since so many QMJHL players have been the backbone of the NHL 1990-2015 in particular at a very high rate

But i digress</div></div>

Are you aware that the CHL includes two other leagues outside of the QMJHL? Not sure why you're even brining up the Q at all here when none of the 3 aforementioned players have EVER played in the Q lol

Thread: Canes cup run
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Caniac2000</b></div><div>That VAN trade is awful. The way the Canes team is built as it is already works.

Gardiner cannot be hidden no LTIR, he's healthy

Kotkaniemi is going to be the 2C. SURE AS HELL won't be J Staal. Jarvis on the third line is f**king comical. Miller and Gagner are pointless.

You've gone the complete wrong way about this. If you're going to improve the team, it's the bottom line that needs deadline help. Someone like (this is a comparable, not an example) Tyler Motte to NYR at last years deadline. Someone that can play 5v5 and PK without being a pylon</div></div>

The Gardiner on LTIR is def an issue there, but likely could be fixed with an additional cap dump trade. I would rather replace with a better player than DeKeyser though.

As for the team structure from this trade I think adjustments need to be made. Primarily JT Miller would play 2C and not LW if this trade were to go down. So the top 6 would consist of Aho Jarvis Teuvo, Svech Miller and Pacioretty. From there the bottom 6 would likely be Staal with Fast and Milano, then 4th line with Kase and Drury centered by KK. Looks like a SIGNIFICANT upgrade over the current grouping right now, arguably gives the Canes the best forward group in the league. I love KK but I feel like there is an unjustifiably large risk putting him in a 2C role with NO backup option this early on. Best to acquire a sure commodity in JT Miller to man that position.

The Sam Gagner signing is definitely pointless, no reason for acquiring him, would rather re-sign maybe Stepan at league min as he was quite a good fit for the team as a depth option.

Thread: No Blueline Offense Needed Read Desc
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Xerxsion</b></div><div>Even if it's a bit of an overpay for Kane, it's still not something that would hurt Carolina with the insane prospect depth the team has acquired over the last 4 years of drafting. I think the high risk is worth the reward that Kane brings to the team. Kane's value likely might increase as well since more contending teams would be in on him than DeBrincat with the long term cap situation in the league. I explain in an earlier reply.

As for Martinook I highly disagree because on the ice he has become a detriment to the teams success. He is constantly played too high in the lineup when injuries occur and he actively makes players around him worse offensively when that happens. He brings very little to the team as a 4th liner that can be EASILY surpassed with the young talent in the system. And the team has a TON of character guys already in the lockerroom, as well as great leadership, which Patrick Kane actually also helps bring to the team. Martinook really isn't an NHL level forward and is making too much money. Maybe it's a lot to give up to dump him but again the team can afford to give up a lot with the strength of the teams prospect pool. Gotta start making bold risky moves to push this team over the edge as being shrewd year after year hasn't gotten the team anywhere.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>vikhodush</b></div><div>Marty is replaceable for sure but clearly team likes him for his leadership and locker room presence so doubtful they move him. If they did you’re seriously over estimating how much it would cost to dump him. He doesn’t have much value but you could move him for a pick swap of a round or two if you needed to.

Also that’s way too much for Kane . Especially when their GM has essentially set the bar for how he’s doing business.</div></div>
