<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>anelson115</b></div><div>Agree with your last sentiment - it will take more added to Lundkvist to get one of Bourque, Johnston, or Stankoven than would need to be added to Dellandrea to get Lundkvist. No arguments there. But what I don't agree with is that all three of those prospects will be in the Dallas top 6 forward group. They are all right-shot centers and will have to slot in with Hintz (also a center) and Robertson. Even moving one of them to the wing, I don't think it makes sense to keep all three - maybe two of them stick around in the top 6. So which one is on the outside? Probably not a decision that will be made this year, but worth considering if you can use one to add a young right-shot defenseman with up-side.</div></div>

It’s true that we have too many centres and not many RHD, but it’s wrong to say that they aren’t going to be top 6 players and that it doesn’t make sense to keep all three because they have immense offensive potential and that’s one if the things the Stars have lacked in the past. 2 of them will have to go wing though.

I see their future top 6 being:

Robo-Hintz-Bourque
Marchment-Johnston-Stankoven

First one is Stankoven, he’s too short to be a centre (don’t know one single 5’8” centre in the history of the league) and he has the play style of a winger (sniper, something like DeBrincat.

After that you have Bourque, who is a natural centre, but Johnston and Hintz are too and they’re better. I see him moving to the wing because his play style matches Pavelski’s really well (look what he did with that duo). Pavelski also was mainly a centre, but could also play wing.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>anelson115</b></div><div>This comes from the CapFriendly FAQ section on the CBA, and applies to NMCs and NTCs:

- The clause can travel with the player even if he consents to being traded or is claimed on waivers
-- This requires that the acquiring team sign an addendum to the contract ensuring that the clause does in fact travel with the player (written by the player's agent)
-- If the acquiring team refuses to sign the addendum, and the player waives his clause anyway, at that point the clause may be nullified
- If the player is traded before the clause takes effect, the acquiring team can opt to void the clause

Seems to me that the issue is with the last bullet point - specifically, whether or not Dadonov's M-NTC was in effect prior to being traded to Vegas by Ottawa. If it was, there may also be an issue with the first bullet point - did Dadonov and Vegas sign an addendum stating that his M-NTC would carry over? I'm not an expert in this, so I might be wrong, but this is how I see it. Will be interesting to see how it plays out as this may set a precedence for the league going forward.

Hope this helps!</div></div>

That is helpful. Thanks.

Looking at Dadonov’s contract details, CapFriendly says the no-trade clause applied to all three years of the contract, so the clause was in effect when he was traded to Vegas. That rules out the last bullet point and takes us to the first point. The question is what happened, or what should have happened, when he became Vegas property. It sounds like Vegas would have had to sign the addendum for his no-trade clause to continue to apply. I don’t know if they signed it, but you’d think they’d know if they did, so let’s assume they didn’t. In that case, it’s not clear to me from this FAQ what would happen. It says, “if the acquiring team refuses to sign the addendum, and the player waives his clause anyway, at that point the clause may be nullified.” However, if Vegas wasn’t on Dadonov’s no-trade list, he could have been traded without waiving the clause – Ottawa did not need his consent to trade him to a team that wasn’t on the no-trade list. So if he didn’t waive the clause, does that mean it wouldn’t be nullified even if Vegas never signed the addendum?

I just noticed that CapFriendly is now showing Dadonov back on Vegas, so I guess the trade has been nullified. That must mean that Dadonov’s no-trade clause was still in effect, and Anaheim was on his no-trade list. I guess either Vegas forgot they signed the addendum, or they didn’t sign it, but the answer to the question in the last sentence of the paragraph above is yes, and Vegas didn’t know that the clause would still be in effect if he didn’t have to waive it to be traded from Ottawa to Vegas. (I’m giving them the benefit of a doubt and assuming this was an honest mistake, and not a deliberate attempt to try to trade a player to a team on his no-trade list.)

As my high school physics teacher used to say, now that you’re thoroughly confused, carry on.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>HOCKEYBOY448</b></div><div>I guess we’re throwing out that whole develop and rebuild mentality for wasting picks and prospects for a legit pipe dream at the cup. This team is not gonna win a damn thing in the playoffs yet. Half of the guys have never been to the playoffs and under the age of 23-24. Unless Shesty pulls some magic out of his ass and becomes Hasek or Roy, I’ve got a tough time seeing the value in this. The reliance on one of those rentals, Kreider, Trouba, Mika, Panarin, Strome and Goodrow is gonna be huge. Still a big issue is the middle 6 scoring. The young guys need to step up to make this worth it and not just play well, but actually put up some points consistently. Plus the chance of having Nemeth on the back end in the playoffs scares me. Not tryna hate, just being realistic here.</div></div>

You are being realistic; the problem is reality doesn't enter into the equation for 95% of the posts on this forum. If you asked every Ranger fan on this forum, and on Earth, BEFORE this season started, what do you want to see from this team this year.....95% of them would have said, develop the kids, make the playoffs and keep progressing and improving the team. Now, because they are off to a good start, it's throw the plan out the window and try to win the Cup now. It doesn't seem to matter that they have a slim, if any, realistic shot this year. It's just dumb. If they stay the course and keep building the right way, they will be a Cup contender for several years very soon. Hopefully, Drury does this.
