Thread: If the Bruins are forced to move Mcavoy

The trade value isn't terrible, but like others here have said neither team would want to part with the main players in the deal. And maybe I'm a homer, but I don't really like the Stecher for Cehlarik part of the deal. If the Canucks traded Boeser for a Dman I think it would be with the idea that Stecher stays and Tanev is gone either through trade or in FA at the end of the season.

Thread: Marner

Trade value aside, why would you give Marner the same cap hit as McDavid?! He's not even asking for anywhere close to that is he?

Thread: Whos the most likely to go

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>canucks_Fan_53</b></div><div>i think, Beagle, Baertschi, Tanev, Goldobin would be on the outs, lievo was great last year, as was roussel and pearson... if Virtanen doesnt show this year i think he may go too</div></div>

Not sure the team would be able to deal Beagle's contract without a sweetener. And I don't mind Virtanen as long as he keeps putting up the effort in a bottom six role. If he demands more money than he's earned after this season then I could definitely see the team dealing him.

Thread: Whos the most likely to go

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>papishark</b></div><div>Will Svens production pre injury return? If so then yes if not then no</div></div>

It'll totally depend on talent of his linemates I think. It looks to me like he starts as 3LW so his production will probably reflect that, but I'm optimistic that Gaudette can take a step offensively if given the chance.

Thread: taking on 6 most expensive forwards in the NHL NO ELCs

I think the team would be way more competitive if you did three duos up front and throw your current third liners on their wings;

Panarin-McDavid-Lebanc
Matthews-Tavares-Spezza
Pirri-Toews-Kane

If you played the 4th line limited minutes you'd basically still have a 1st line on the ice the rest of the game. The D and goalies would just need to stay awake to be competitve.

If that's the case the Canucks should offer Eriksson straight up :tearsofjoy

Thread: Split the Difference

You're probably about right with where it'll end up. Personally I feel like Meier is a perfect comparable at this point for Boeser and a 6x4 would be great. But then I read Benning didn't like that Meier's deal is back-loaded, so his next deal the QO will have to be up around 9 or 10 mill. If the actual salary is more even over the term it might be worth the extra half mill per year to get it done.

Thread: A landing spot for Turris

I know Turris' contract isn't very good for what he provides anymore, but I feel like there'd be a team out there that would still take a chance on him without NSH having to give up a 1st and 2nd just to dump his contract.

Thread: ANA trade

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>F50marco</b></div><div>I think you have it backwards. The team that has the player on LTIR, pays out less actual cash. Insurance companies are paying most of if not all of Kesler's actual salary. Eriksson isn't injured so whomever has him, is actually paying his salary.

What your trying to accomplish here makes more sense if you offered the same package to Buffalo for Bogosian. Van gets small cap relief now, a lot more later since Bogo is UFA this year but that comes at the cost of a prospect and a couple picks that Buffalo gets for taking on the longer term in Eriksson.</div></div>

^All very true. I wasn't saying that ANA would be saving money overall on the deal, just that there is a small portion of actual salary that team's have to cover when they're on LTIR that the insurance companies don't (not sure what the ratio is though).

You also have to add to that equation whatever player VAN will have to dump just to get cap compliant after Boeser signs. If he gets the Meier deal (6x4) then it just means not signing Goldobin.

Fair enough. I guess the real wildcard for me is if this team can make the playoffs or not.

Thread: Trade with OTT

Tierney will have more value than that after last year. I’m betting OTT would want a good C prospect coming back.

Thread: Would OTT do this

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>sedin33</b></div><div>Don't want to lose Gaudette just to get rid of Eriksson. There's no immediate impact for Eriksson's contract now anyways. So keep him for the year.</div></div>

The immediate impact is that they’d get a decent 3C and gain the cap space they need to sign Boeser and Goldy, but cap space could be made another way while keeping Gaudette for sure.

Edited the trade to take out the pick. Fair deal now?

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>sedin33</b></div><div>Not sure why Vancouver would do this.</div></div>

Maybe Van keeps the pick then? Dumping Eriksson’s deal will be costly and I could see Gaudette being enticing for OTT. Once Anisimov’s deal expires Madden will probably be ready to replace him in VAN.

Thread: Simple Puljujarvi Addition

At this point I think the value is right, but EDM would hate to send JP to a division rival only to have him develop into a good player. I think he ends up in the east.

Where did you read that? I haven’t seen it. I assumed he’d be on the Meier deal (6x4) on the short end and want 8x8 long term. If his camp is willing to go 7x8 I agree, sign him up!!

Thread: Nucks fans how do we make this work

Just made a VAN team with their side of the trade. They’d still have to dump another contract but it could work.
