Thread: Oilers say fck it

Getting rid of 4 yrs of Campbell will cost Oilers at the very least a first rounder and or a top bluechip prospect . You are weakening overall depth up front . And giving away the teams future with these trades . Draisitle is a better overall player then Mathews . Draisitle is a playoff beast . Mathews a one dimensional playoff mouse ..

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>RipNasty</b></div><div>Draisaitl is not worth more than Matthews.</div></div>

Yes he is . This is a horrible trade for Edmonton . Mathews has one more year left on contract . Apparently he is asking 13.5 mil per . No way does he get more then Big Macd. I wouldn't trade Draisitle straight up for Mathews . Hawks trade is a complete joke .

Thread: Should the hawks be in on this

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Babatunde</b></div><div>Leafs don't consider. You want him, pay up</div></div>

How far over the cap are the Leafs ?? They will be forced to dump contracts . Laferty is almost at league minimum . It doesn't really make sense dumping him anyways .He can be buried in the minors at worst . BUT just to be clear he would NOT pass through waivers he will be claimed by a team .

Thread: Skip The Rebuild

Has to be one of the worst AGM I have seen . Just dumped two horrible contracts ( Kane , Toews ) and you want to pick up 3 assuming Hawks resign Nylander 10m , Hanifin 8m plus Gibson . How do you plan on paying Bedard in 3 yrs . All you have done is give away picks and depth and the teams future . This is not a cup contending roster .

Why would the Ducks retain on Gibson for 4 yrs ??????? This is basically paying Ullmark 8.2 million a season and subsidizing Boston's cap for the next 4 yrs . HOW DOES ThIS HELP OR MAKE THE DUCKS A BETTER TEAM ????????

Thread: Bert now max lets gooo

This is not a valid roster . To be a valid cap compliant roster you must have a minimum of 22 players most teams carry 23 which is the maximum . And Ltir do not count as roster players . Look at the top where it tells you about cap space it says 20 . It must be either 22-23 .So you would be over the cap with this roster of you were to add the two players . Try again

Good solid player. Not the guy you dismantle a team for a prevent you from fixing other bigger holes.

In a perfect world with cap space, and the rest of the roster complete, sure, great. Now…no. Let him go.</div></div>

This will be his last chance at a big money contract he is 28 yrs old . Why would he agree to less yrs or money to stay with the Bruins ??? So I totally agree with you .

Thread: The cost of bertuzzi

Your roster is not to league rules . During the season all teams have a 23 man roster limit . They have to be cap compliant with a minimum 22 man roster . You are missing a player from your roster and even at league minimum salary this puts you over the cap . Try again .

As someone who doesn't like the Bruins please please please make that trade with Montreal and sign Caleb Jones . Please sign him longterm

Dvorak is not a 2 nd line center on a good team . He is a 3 Rd liner . Caleb Jones is a complete disaster in his own end ( I'm a Hawks fan and I've seen alot of him ) and no chance your getting Lafreniere from the Rangers for that pile of crap . I also think Domi will cost more .

Putting up points in the playoffs is one thing playing to win playoff hockey is a totally different thing . Not saying he's a bad player , I'm saying he is soft 🍦 and does not and will not play playoff hockey . At least Marner crosses into his on blue and tries to help defencevly . And like I said let someone else give him his 8 x 9.5 mil . If you followed the hurricanes you would know they won't just blow up there salary cap structure with Aho , Slavin , Pesce ,Jarvis ,Drury , Necas contracts all coming up for renewal . That would be as stupid as the Leafs signing Tavares and trashing there whole salary cap plan .

Turbo is Teravainens nick name . And I am a Hawks fan by the way . Not knowing turbo tells me you don't know much about the player . Not be literate enough to read the difference between Hawks fan and Habs fan on my bio tells me alot about you . And yes I watch the Leafs lose constantly in the playoffs .

I wouldn't do TURBO straight up for Nylander . Nylander has played his whole career on a team that doesn't take defence serious . Leafs play wide open pond hockey all year long Nylanders numbers are inflated by this as are Leafs players numbers . He also gets to play with Mathews and Tavares not to mention Marner again inflating his numbers . He is also soft and gutless when forchecked . Why would Carolina want to take on him and his new contract . Apparently he is asking for 8 x 9.5 mil . Hurricanes are better of giving less then that to Tarasenko , Kane , Bertuzzi and with less term . And at least these guys show up when it counts .

Nobody taking on Gallagher contract for four years for nothing . Primeau is a bust . Norlinder a grade c prospect . Hawks do not need anymore d prospects . Makes zero sense for Hawks .

Hawks are not looking to barely squeek into the playoffs . Hawks are still in rebuild mode . They want to draft high at least one more year . They will not commit to all these signings . You are not leaving roster spots for the prospects to integrate into NHL

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ginandtacos</b></div><div>OK per scott powers CHI is buying out Bailey, which makes zero sense. Plenty of cap space, why not get him off the books in one year?</div></div>

Because buyout is at 2/3 of contract value spread over double the yrs remaining . If not he would take up a spot for absolutely nothing . Hawks should do same with Zaitsev . This year and next will be burnt yrs anyways . Hawks are 2 yrs from playoffs .Bedard is a huge add but can not drag this team into playoffs on his on . All the other prospects have to get seasoning and hope they improve . Guys like Bailey will just hold back icetime from the younger guys coming up .
