Thread: Surrounding Quinn with his besties for a tougher playoff roster

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>fangm</b></div><div>I genuinely think that Tkachuk would fetch more in a trade. Not arguing that right now Petty is the better player but Brady's potential is insane. His brother was similar to him before taking off and becoming a world beater. Brady could do the same.</div></div>

I think a return for either would be pretty close to the same. Petey is the C, but Brady brings the more physical presence that GM's loooove.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>csick</b></div><div>he could be worth more but its always the Vancouver fans that want to move him that ive seen</div></div>

Moving Petey would be a massive mistake. It might be fun to play around with ideas in ACGM's, but VAN has nobody to realistically replace him. You could say the same about Tkachuk for OTT. But I would tend to value the center position higher even if the players are on par.

I get that. Not many players offer the overall package that Tkachuk does.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>fangm</b></div><div>That Tkachuk trade isn't even remotely close.

Think about what you'd want for Petty and then work back.</div></div>

For sure it might require more, but it's a solid base for an offer. Hronek is worth at least a 1st + 2nd, and Lekks is an elite prospect.

Thread: guentzel or reinhart

I'd love Guentzel on Petey's wing, but even if the team manages to move Mikheyev's contract I think VAN will be looking at less expensive top 4 winger options (maybe Toffoli or Teravainen?).

Another scoring forward is a priority, but so is overall team depth. Adding a guy with a 9.5 AAV is going to seriously limit the depth options; in this ACGM you've filled out the forwards really nicely but the D is not as good or deep overall.

Thread: Leafs need a Goalie FFS

NSH takes that and runs.

Some of the panic Leafs trades on here are mind boggling. I know Leafdom is really disappointed, but I've seen some crazy sell-low trades for Marner especially.

Thread: Would this work

IF (and that's a big if) VAN was interested in giving KK a shot on his current deal, then the contract that makes the most sense to send the other way is Mikheyev. Almost a wash on the AAV's, but Mikheyev's is only two more years.

Thread: Messing about

That BUF trade is bad for the Canucks. They'll be able to get a better package for Hronek if they do decide to trade him.

Oh man oh man oh man!!! I would love this for my fantasy team! I snagged him off waivers at the end of the season hoping this would happen so I could keep him.

Thread: a new core without Mitch or JT

I don't see Dobson being dealt by the Isles at all. Might makes sense to do a Marner for Durzi++ to Utah though.

Shave money off the Joshua and Blueger contracts and sign Tanev instead of Myers. Otherwise I like it.

Thread: 2024 starting lineup

Will be interesting to see what the Flames do in the offseason. Still kind of expecting Markstrom to move, but it'll have to be somewhere he wants to go so not a guarantee. IMO you should pass on Dumba, but I'm rooting for Kylington to return to form.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>kingkanuck</b></div><div>Rather trade Podkolzin and 2025 -2nd and 2026 - 2nd and keep Hoglander.</div></div>

Me too, but I'm not sure that would get this deal done.

Thread: Brady Tradechuck

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>csick</b></div><div>The Sens are not trading a 6’4 power forward for a 5’10 small soft winger no matter how skilled he is. Brady would never be traded for Marner, Bratt, Necas , Kyrou or any of these guys.

The Sens will never get softer like that</div></div>

Fair enough. Again, I'm not saying this particular deal is the one the Sens would be interested in; just that if they're considering trading Tkachuk they're going to want a top-line player back.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NHLfan10506</b></div><div>Or….

Frame it however you like. Top line forward for top line forward, possibly with a couple other minor pieces involved to even things out. I'm not saying that deal would happen, but if I'm in the Sens position it's the type of deal I'd be after.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>dgibb10</b></div><div>If by centerpiece you mean 1 for 1 maybe</div></div>

I do. With maybe each team throwing in a pick or two if they feel the deal needs tweaking.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>theleano1</b></div><div>Canucks pass. Batherson is a great player no question but the appetite isn't big enough to move Mikheyev if means losing Hronek. Moving Hronek means we'd only have Juulsen as our only RHD with team control.

Agreed. The only way VAN moves Hronek is if the contract ask gets WAY out of their comfort zone. I've been predicting for a while on this site that he'll re-up for $7.75m x 8.

Thread: Brady Tradechuck

Trying to look at it from OTT's perspective;

This is a team that desperately wants to make the jump to being a playoff contender. They have good young pieces and players entering their prime that should keep them relevant for a while if they can level up. If they do consider trading Brady (and I'm not sure why they would unless he's asking out), I think it will definitely be for a comparable player or package of players that will help the Sens win-now. I don't think Holtz + 2025 1st will be the type of significant pieces they're looking for.

IMO the centrepiece from NJD would be Bratt.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mv21227</b></div><div>Canucks aren’t moving Hoglander</div></div>

If the deal was Hoglander for Whitecloud straight up I think VAN would consider it. I know the Canucks like Hogs and definitely aren't in a hurry to help a division rival out of a cap jam, but Whitecloud has a great contract.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Canucks33</b></div><div>I think Graves could be decent for us but the term is a problem in the cap world.</div></div>

Agreed that the term is a risk. But he's 29 so it's not impossible that he could provide value through the end of the contract if he fits well into the team system.

Thread: Dont look at this

Despite not living up to expectations, I still think KK has 'some' trade value. Not much mind you, but I'm betting there's a GM out there that would give up something for a young center that could still potentially make that contract worthwhile in the right scenario.

Thread: Looking to fill 1RW and 1RD

Props for some creative thinking on some of the moves!

At this point it's so difficult to assign a trade value to Laine, but my instinct here is saying the Ducks are overpaying.
