Thread: i need a cup for my sweet tea
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Caniac2000</b></div><div>Pass on Olofsson at that price. He's AWFUL defensively. Undoes the scoring

Don'tlike the Keller trade. Why include Teravainen when we already need more scoring? Valimaki isn't needed, as nice as it would be to have him.</div></div>

i know he was hurt a good bit of the year but turbo only had 12 goals. i felt like if any roster player was gonna go back the other way it would have to be him. it helps make keller's cap hit a bit easier to take plus if i had to choose between the two keller is the clear upgrade. valimaki was added under the assumption we don't/can't bring back ghost though it's possible i undervalued valimaki. as for olofsson im just really hoping that under our system his defense could be improved at least slightly. i just feel like those 28 goals he had last year could have really helped us.

Thread: just wait
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>HockeyIsMyPassion61</b></div><div>That garbage doesn't get Clayton Keller, And that offer is easily beaten.

Calgary isn't trading both Markstrom and Wolf, First off Markstrom doesn't waive for that dump. He's not wasting his time on a team that doesn't care about winning. And Wolf would be replacing Markstrom.

And that garbage offer doesn't get Nick Schmalyz either, Detroit has interest in him and would offer better than that crap.</div></div>

fair, i kinda went at the mindset that if keller refuses to play in arizona it lowers his value a bit. so i figured milano fills the roster spot, miroshnichenko should've been a top 10 pick, and an extra 1st rounder in very deep draft would be solid but i guess it really just depends on how arizona and keller wanna play it.

with markstrom and wolf i flubbed it a bit. just from checking forums on the top goalie prospects it felt like calgary would be most likely (if likely at all) to move a goalie prospect cause they just came off a disappointing season and they have a new gm. and i was banking on the hypothetical waiving of marktroms nmc to get him a change of scenery, probably work out a deal where he gets moved at the deadline.

as for schmaltz i'll admit it was hard to get a read on his value. lot of conflicting opinions in some circles. noeson just came off a career year, chatfield has decent upside, and again more picks in a deep draft could get it done.

Thread: 2nd try
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>evelutions2</b></div><div>Yet we still have a drastic overpayment for Marner. Canes would love to have him, but it’s not realistic whatsoever, unless they sign him in UFA. Canes aren’t going to move roster pieces, and it would have to be a futures based package for Marner. Not to mention, with the Canes cap situation, they would have a hard enough time keeping him at the end of this upcoming season, let alone for the season after. Not to mention, with 2 years remaining on his deal, the Canes have no control over negotiations for a new contract. Besides, Shanahan promised that the core won’t be moved, so Marner isn’t going anywhere until his contract is up.</div></div>

honestly i feel like any "realistic" trade for marner at this point is gonna be an overpayment. i see your point tho, but just from things i've read if the leafs do trade him the expected package was gonna have to include some roster players. and i figured for the sake of this hypothetical if marner gets you a cup it lessens the sting of not having necas or marty. as for the cap situation i had the thought process that the canes would see where they were at with an aho extension and if that didn't work out focus all attention on marner and work from there. plus staal and burns would be off the books that year too.
