Thread: Trading Chabot AND Chych
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Xspyrit</b></div><div>Brassard is retired

Noesen will easily make more than 1.0 AAV

Why not just trade Chychrun if you can sign DeMelo?

Sanderson - Zub
Chabot - DeMelo
Brannstrom - JBD

Now that's a solid defense.


Bourque + 1st would be a PIPE dream, no way they get as much for Chychrun</div></div>

I was wondering if Brassard is officially retired or if he needed the year to rehab. He was in incredible mentor and knew his role last year. I would love some vet leadership in the bottom 4.

I definitely like your suggested d-core better than mine, but I’ve seen this or a similar iteration many times on ACGM. So I decided to do something a little different for this ACGM. IMO, overpay on two solid defensive dmen, trade Chych for assets, and we’re good to go.

Thread: Fixing Ottawa Maybe Idk anymore
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Xspyrit</b></div><div>lol that Batherson trade is horrendous. I know Sens goaltending has been the worst in the league this season but giving a top line forward and #2-3 D-man (both 25 y/o) to get a goalie with 1 year left is C.R.A.Z.Y.


Don't think Murphy has that much value left. Brannstrom has very sexy advanced stats and makes less, cost controlled and younger. Very versatile too


What is Murphy value you think?</div></div>

Murphy is a perfect top pair defenseman for any team that has a stud offensive LD. His numbers are ugly on the hawks cus everyone's numbers are ugly on the hawks. The team is bad by design. To other teams I think his value is probably a late 1st. For the hawks to actually consider moving him they'd probably want a 1st and a solid RD prospect. He's a leader for the young defenseman on the hawks so for them to give that up they would need an overpay. Now if he requested a trade that price would obviously come down but he seems pretty happy in chicago.

Also brannstrom is a lefty which is the deepest position chicago has.

Hawks likely don't consider trading Murphy for anything less than a 1st or an equivalent high end prospect. Hawks have been awful (by design) for the past two years. Murphy had no shot at putting up any sort of good stats. He has played most of this season w/ Korchinski, and it appears GM Kyle from Chicago and Coach Luke want that same pair together next season as well.

No hate meant for Branny, but the Hawks aren't looking for any more LD. They're loaded at LD. They've already moved former 1st rounder Nolan Allen over to his off side on the right so he has a path to the NHL.

That proposed package from Ottawa has a lot of pieces but nothing that would be very interesting from the Hawks perspective.

Thread: crazy idea
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mokumboi</b></div><div>It's not a crazy idea. It;s a horrible idea. Chych is a wildly overrated 2LD with one year to UFA. Hard pass. Chabot is has a terrible contract, barely defends and is injured 35-40% the time. Super mega heeeeeyellll naw.




Whether Ottawa would expect the Blues to add or not, there's zero chance the Blues agree to swap six years of 1RD for one year of 2LD.</div></div>

as someone who doesn't watch the sens I can't say for certain if chabot doesn't play defense or if chychrun is overrated, but looking at their advanced stats chabot is pretty good defensively, Chychrun is apparently the one who sucks at defense, while Chabot's offensive game has been bad this year. Not saying the numbers are everything but that's all I really have to go off of

Thread: Post TDL
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Leafsfan98</b></div><div>1. The Sens had a report that they wanted a guy who acts like a pro to show the younger guys how to do it... Brodie can do that... He's also able to play the right side which the Sens need
2. A 2 way RHD is not what the Sens need? Got it
3. Top 60 in goals per 60 while being good on his stick... Get hit a decent bit but always gets back up and keeps going...

5. Last time I checked, the McCabe trade was a 1st, 2nd and 2 AHLers for McCabe at 50%+Lafferty+2 5ths... The upgrade for conditional 3rd (that can become a 2nd) to a 5th more than covers it... Hanifin trade was: 1st+3rd+2 5ths+fringe NHLer for Hanifin 75% retention + worse fringe NHLer</div></div>

He’s a pending UFA at the end of the year, they can sign him if they want to without making him a piece in a trade.

Niemela hasn’t played a single game in the NHL so I don’t understand how you consider him a “2 way D-man” just because he’s a RHD doesn’t mean he’s the right guy.

Let’s be honest, you packaged a couple 2nd tier prospects and a d-man the Leafs are going to let walk and threw in a 1st and assume that gets you a division rivals top pair D-man retained for a full season.

No chance.

Cowan or Minten gets the conversation started if prospects get tossed in to whatever deal involves Chyc.

Thread: Quiet trade deadline
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Xspyrit</b></div><div>I would keep Brannstrom over that because my plan is to trade Chychrun

I would keep Kastelic, need 4th liners and he's the only one I'd keep. I'd move on from Kelly, Chartier and MacEwen

Don't know if Colorado would take their chance with Forsberg. He was a good goalie before his injuries but now pretty uncertain what goalie you'll get.</div></div>

I would move Chychrun but I don’t think Ottawa will do it until summer which it’s not very ideal for us.

I’ll move Kelly but I don’t think anyone have any interest in him so I’ll move Kastelic for a pick. Forsberg is actually decent in Ottawa for this season in my opinion. So if he moves to Colorado with that defensive.. he will thrive there.
