Thread: cup run
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>dannibalcorpse</b></div><div>-I think the value's more or less there without the Rangers adding a pick - Broberg/Foegele for Chytil would be even, to me. But I don't think the Rangers make the move because they'd be trading away from a weak position for them - they really don't have a ton of C depth currently. They'd be throwing Barclay Goodrow in at 3C, I'd assume, and maybe running with a guy currently in the AHL as 4C? But I don't think it makes sense to pull from a weak position at this point for them.</div></div>
Not a chance Edmonton does this deal. Holland already refused to include Broberg in a potential Chychrun deal, no way he's sending him out for a 4th liner. That's laughable. Foegele scores more and the cap hits aren't that different, not sure Edmonton would do a Foegele-Chytil deal 1 for 1.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>dannibalcorpse</b></div><div>-Why are you paying to dump Klefbom? Isn't he basically on LTIR permanently now? You're already using LTIR with Mike Smith, so it's not like you're clearing everything off the books and accruing deadline space by getting rid of Klefbom, so save the 2nd rounder and just let his deal run out after this year.</div></div>
Yeah, totally agree here. There's no logic applied at all to this. Nevermind that Klefbom's deal wasn't insured and Arizona is the poorest team in the league... there's no reason either team would consider this for a second.

Thread: Holland not done
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ceeque84</b></div><div>Chicago fans are going to be pretty disappointed when trading 1 yr of Kane DOESN'T get them 3 first rnd picks, a top 6 roster player, and a A prospect.

Realistically its going to be just slightly better than what the Flyers got for Giroux- Young top 6 roster player, late First rnd pick, mid rnd pick, and a B prospect.</div></div>

Could be more could be less, Giroux was only fine with going to Florida or Colorado, if Kane only has one team he's willing to go to, he might only return a 1st+A-Prospect/young player+B-prospect or mid pick (there will have to be some roster player ofc as well for cap reasons most likely). On the other hand if he's fine with going to like 5 teams, then maybe something similar to what you said or more.

Thread: Puljujarvi for Zadina
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SupremeBone</b></div><div>They need to clear cap and this kind of move involving Puljujarvi is likely the only type they can pull off without having to pay assets (Foegele and Barrie being the alternatives). Sure, each player has value in a normal and rational market but the current isn't that.

As they'd free up ~2mil, this would allow them the space to add someone like Kessel to further bolster the team. Lastly, while he's far from a proven asset, Zadina is among the best available, plausible options for a Puljujarvi trade. His particular skillset (adept shooter with some two-way acumen) is one that fits alongside EDM's C depth and could provide him the right conditions to breakout. I also specifically like that his default position is on his off-wing (a mirror to Hyman).

Your mileage may vary based on your perception of Zadina and your valuation of the assets it would take to clear cap space by other means.</div></div>

What would it take to move Foegele? A 3rd? A 2nd? So I guess you need to weigh over if Puljujarvi is worth more than Foegele + a pick... which for me is an easy choice. Before getting COVID last year Puljujarvi was the team's 4th leading scorer with a stat line of 28, 10-13-23 +7, on pace for 29 goals and 67 points. If he's fully recovered there's no question that he's worth far, far more than Foegele + pick, or Zadina + McIsaac. I mean, would Detroit trade Zadina + McIsaac for Foegele + 2nd? There's your answer right there.
