Thread: Possible move to dump Backes
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>palhal</b></div><div>Stop it. LTIR or IR, may not no difference on who actually pays Gaborik's salary. More than likely it's the insurance company. Still why would the Sens want to pay out of pocket 4m for Backes next season? Plus ignoring the fact that Backes has M NTC and can easily block any trade to a team with cap space.</div></div>

My thought process (as bad as it seems to be) was that Ottowa would really only be taking on 1.2 mil more in cap for a player to actually contribute. This was me going purely off cap numbers, and not taking in to consideration (due to ignorance/naiveness) that they may not actually be paying any of Gaborik's salary at the moment. And as for the M-NTC I'm going off the assumption Backes would rather play in the NHL than the AHL, but maybe I'd be wrong.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Bcarlo25</b></div><div>Woah woah woah, are you referring to Senyshyn as nearly NHL ready? Senyshyn is nothing. When his entry deal is up (I think they can use the slide rule on him at least once), he might not even be qualified.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>hanson493</b></div><div>senyshyn at this point is a nothing add. kuhlman hasnt proved he can fully play effectively full time in the nhl. i like lauzon and i dont particularly want to move him.</div></div>

I guess in the games I've seen him play I felt he looked like a big, quick, solid winger. I know he hasn't had the points in the AHL, but felt that was always attributed to the staff trying to round out his defensive game. Maybe I've just been reading into him all wrong and that whole "rounding out his game" has been covering their ass for him just not panning out at all.

Thread: Next Year
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mcordaro</b></div><div>How about:
March-Berg-Heinen
Debrusk-Krejci-Pasta
Bjork-Coyle-Ryan
Nord-Kuraly-Wag

Not sure Ryan can play with the 1st line at this point.</div></div>

I like that. I just felt like maybe stick Ryan up there and see if he can play close to the skill he used to have.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Bcarlo25</b></div><div>some guys just don't need it, and I think he's one of them. He's played a bit in the A. Point per game regular season, not a big deal. I think he only has like 8 or 9 games under his belt, but he's played above the OHL before internationally and in the AHL. See how he looks in camp. I wouldn't be surprised if he was their top line wing. Kids a stud.</div></div>

Would you drop Ryan down to 3rd and Bjork in the A in that case?

Thread: Is this beneficial
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Bcarlo25</b></div><div>Vegas definitely gets about 10 better offers, maybe 15, actually maybe 29 for Pacioretty. Throwing Moore in there is just weird. It's essentially a small camp dump, a C- prospect, and a 2nd for pacioretty.

Minnesota asks which of your next two first round picks you would like to include. throw a first in there and sure.</div></div>


You think they get much better offers? Their backs are against the wall to dump 7.5 mil. It might not necessarily be him, but getting rid of him essentially solves their cap problem for right now. I don't know that teams throw too much at Vegas for Pacioretty.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>hanson493</b></div><div>GUYS WHY DO PEOPLE KEEP RESIGNING LEE STEMPNIAK! HOLY CRAP HE IS SOOOOO BAD NOW. I cant take your armchair roster seriously if you sign that crapbag.</div></div>

Because a lot of the Providence guys say what a good mentor and teacher he is. So for 700k you have someone mentoring the young guys you want to make your roster.

Thread: Offer Sheet
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SammyT_51</b></div><div>Because Boston is OVERLOAD with cap space and Marner would definitely sign with rival right??</div></div>

With a few moves the B's have more than enough room, and the leafs could make moves to fit him as well that just doesn't fit my narrative here. And by the end of negotiations, Marner could want to spite the leafs. He could also reject any offer sheet that comes his way and take a team friendly deal with the Leafs. I'm just doing a mock where he doesn't want to stay with the Leafs, and the Bruins manage to give him the best offer sheet.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>dzad96</b></div><div>I get what you're saying with the Preds Powerplay, but I can't see why they would want a defenseman. They're always looking for forwards, their top 4 is nasty. Krug is probably their number 5 dman.</div></div>

At some point do you think they look at the glaring need of a offensive defenseman to quarterback the powerplay take preference over another forward? If he's their 3rd pairing defensemen, but leads the 1st PP unit, I think that might be more helpful than a middle 6 forward, but you are right when you say Nashville might look at it as unnecessary and keeping looking to upgrade the front.

Thread: Deadline 3c
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Bcarlo25</b></div><div>Heinen, in his rookie year, had a higher point total than Coyle has had in all but one of his seasons. Heinen is good defensively, great in puck battles in corners, and right now, is playing very well. He’s on an entry deal. Coyle is more expensive and only has this year and next under team control.

The value isn’t light...you’re getting robbed</div></div>

I personally feel that Heinen will be very expendable at this deadline, and in the upcoming offseason, especially with the forward prospects who might be ready to make the jump. Coyle has recently been moved to center a line of shooters, and has looked extremely strong. I think him centering Donato and JFK will have more of a positive impact than Heinen on that same line.
