Thread: Trade With CHI Year 3
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>DarylthePony</b></div><div>So this does work out fine for now, but what about when you need to start resigning guys like Liljegren, Kapanen, Andersen, etc. However, I do like the idea of some of these trades and signings (still not sure why we need Anisimov though).</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>exo2769</b></div><div>AA's contract is up AT the minimum RIGHT as Liljegren needs an extension. How much additional cap hit do you expect Anderson to get maybe $1m...$2M? That's already a pretty healthy contract. I do hear ya though, why does TOR need AA right now. I probably wouldn't do the trade (from TORs) perspective on this aspect alone.</div></div>

Well there is a lot of talk about TOR getting a center and a RHD at the deadline so I figured AA is better than any other center out there, and TOR doesn’t really have to give up that much in the deal.

Thread: Big Moves for the future: CAR OTT WSH
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>dragonlocks</b></div><div>How do 2 terrible defensemen get you a 2nd line Left Winger? The funny thing is Kempny is probably the better of the 2 and he can't even make the roster most nights... I'm sure Bowman is putting all his calls on hold to take this one. You know just because you have spare parts doesn't mean they are valuable to another team. The whole reason they're not valuable to you make them not valuable to everyone else too. IJS</div></div>

Thread: Big Moves for the future: CAR OTT WSH
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ekpaul87</b></div><div>Not sure where you're getting Rick Nash's value but Carolina isn't giving up Jake Bean++ for Anisimov. If they move him, it would be in a package for someone who will actually make an impact on their team. They already have enough 2.5C guys</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>exo2769</b></div><div>Agree for the most part, disagree on 1 point. Agree that Nash isn't getting close to what was said in the description. Agree that Anisimov won't get this package. I disagree that CAR has enough forwards in general even @ the 2.5C rate which is probably accurate for Anisimov at this point. CAR could REALLY use some net front presence to allow talent distribution among more than 2 lines. IF CAR are truly buyers...which I'm not sure they are...BUT i'd try to get creative. Add more pieces from CHI, maybe if they're unhappy with Darling work something out where we take him back. We also have to keep in mind AA's partial NMC.

***EDIT*** it is interesting to see that Bouma is practicing with the 2nd line. I'm not sure who Bowman thinks he's fooling with 2nd line, but he's definitely going to get traded somewhere! That conversation of...would you like to get traded...yeah that's already happened with Bouma.</div></div>

Nash's value is according to Elliot Friedman, and if Nash is going for that value why can't AA go for Bean and a few picks. I do agree that CAR might not be the destination, but this is the return I think the Hawks could get based on the value of the other players on this years market.

Thread: Trade with PIT, TBL, and TOR at the Deadline
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>exo2769</b></div><div>As a Hawks Fan, I'd begrudgingly do this trade. Forsling just needs a little more time to develop and then he'll an 82 game 2nd pair Dman...optimistic ceiling as top pair Dman. And I'd do this trade because PIT could say the same about Fgus and you need to give pieces to get pieces.

***EDIT*** Keep in mind that Forsling/Rutta have been the most used 2nd pairing for CHI this year...so it's not like he's NOT a 2nd pair Dman already. He's just still learning that position.</div></div>

I agree that Forsling will be a solid Dman, but the Hawks have two up and coming studs in Mitchell and Jokiharju, and they don't have any good goalie prospects. This also gives the Hawks another 1st round pick in a really deep draft.
