Thread: Renting Hall at the deadline

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>sedin33</b></div><div>Huge over pay. The team isn't near the top tier yet. This trade belies your name</div></div>

If the 1st is conditional I don’t think it’s an overpay at all, it just might not be a good move for the Canucks at this point.

Maybe they make the 1st conditional either on Hall resigning or the Canucks reaching a certain round in the playoffs, otherwise it becomes a 2nd.

Thread: Change of scenery trades

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>villenash</b></div><div>not sure if it's really even, Turris is at least producing. Yeah, their years may factor in, but I think I'd rather have Turris currently (even if Lavy is dicking him around)</div></div>

Yeah, I figured if the contracts were equal length the Preds would definitely keep Turris, but shedding the extra two years of that deal might make it tempting. In 3 years they’ll need to extend Forsberg, Ekholm and Jarnkrok, and Eriksson would be off the books.

I would've liked to have seen Gaudette in the lineup after his awesome preseason, but sounds like he's a scratch.

Thread: Final

I like the cap space, but if the team's trying to get a wildcard spot this year you've made it harder for them.

Apparently Goldy has been invisible in camp, but I am surprised by the Baertschi move.

I like Nurse a lot, but Russell is just a bad player on a bad contract. Not close IMO

Thread: Canucks pay to dump on the Ducks

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jack_</b></div><div>The defense is a yikes still</div></div>

I agree, but if Juolevi earns a spot I don’t think dealing Tanev is a downgrade really.

Thread: Playoff contender

Unfortunately it'll take a lot more than that to get rid of Eriksson's contract, and likely Sutter's too unless he has good start to the year and can stay healthy.

Thread: If Marner is truly worth 12 million

I still think Marner’s trade value is very high, but why would Jarmo trade a young stud Dman on a fantastic contract for him? If they were going to be around the same cap hit then maybe there’s a deal to be made, but I’d personally rather have Jones.

I’d say that’s pretty good for an 18 team fantasy league.

Thread: Finally the playoffs

1) Bit of a mystery. I've been giving him 1.5 x 2 years on most of my ACGM's, so a 1 year deal would probably be less.
2) Also a mystery as I have no idea what other GM's think of him at this point. He put up a decent point total last year, so I think he'd still have value. A 2nd might be too much, but at least a 3rd or a 3rd and change like you suggested.

Thread: 3x6m for Boeser please

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jamiepo</b></div><div>From your description it sounds like you think he will be ufa in 4 years. He won’t. I would stay with the 4 year term. Might be able to get him down to 6-6.5m on a 4 year deal.</div></div>

No, I realize a 4 year deal still keeps him an RFA. The 3 year deal is more about slightly lowering the cap hit, and having it line up with the expiry of 3 other bad contracts.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Socially_Hawkward_Podcast</b></div><div>I love Boeser and I think he can be a great player but he hasn't been able to stay healthy for a full season. I think 3x6 is a good deal for boeser. Probably doesn't even deserve that much right now</div></div>

I'm not too worried about his injuries at this point. They've been more about bad luck than chronic issues, and his points-per-game puts him right in line with a guy like Meier. I think 6 mill is definitely fair for 3 or 4 years.

Plus it would gut EDM's defense just as it's starting to look like it might be decent. If Russell's in the top 4 they're hooped.

Thread: Late Offseason

That VAN trade is a hard pass for them. Like you said, they already have an abundance of lesser talent, so why would they trade away one of their few 1st line caliber players for a package of more lesser talent?

And do not say for cap reasons. There are way easier and more desirable trades for them to make to clear up cap space, even if they have to hold onto Eriksson for the next three years.

Thread: What Vancouver should have done a long time ago

Yeah, Canucks will pass on both. The CGY trade they’re actually winning, but they can’t afford what the cap difference will be. And that OTT trade just ain’t happening. Had to edit my comment after I remembered both Brady and EP had the same number of years left on their ELC’s.

You're right, that trade would bring out the pitchforks from Oiler faithful. I would think any McD trade with DET would have to start with Larkin, no?
