Thread: Aggressive Offseason
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Canucks33</b></div><div>The value is probably about right but I'm not convinced Reinhart would be worth it. He's a good player but don't want to move a top-10 pick and commit 6M+ in cap space to him long term.

The Tampa deal is interesting value wise but they already have their LD set. I also would rather wait until next year to maybe trade Rathbone, let's see what he looks like first.

I think dumping a contact in Expansion is a necessary move to be honest. If we're going to lose Lind/Gadjovich/Motte anyways, might as well get some cap space as well. If I were Seattle I would definitely take Motte though; great role player to establish an identity, cheap and could be moved at the deadline for a nice return.</div></div>

Yeah I like Reinhart a lot. I think it would push this team forward wise over the hump. My feeling is just in this specific draft it's a bit more of a crapshoot so the time to make a move like this is now. However we can't do it without cap room.

Yeah I picked Tampa because I thought of Foote, but they could also look at guys like Fabbro. I just think we need to upgrade RHD somehow, there is essentially no one good in FA and Rathbone doesn't need protection so I could see a move like this being possible. Love Rathbone though.

Cap Dump to Seattle I also agree is potentially necessary if they actually want to improve the team. The chances whoever the Kraken take even play for the team is super low, our RFAs require waivers, and there is no actual roster players they would want. It honestly looks like their best bet would be to take a UFA w/ negotiating rights from us. If they can get a pick but need to take some cap maybe its worth it.

Thread: Realistic offseason prediction
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CMcAvoy73</b></div><div>I mean, Hughes is SO bad defensively. It’s actually kind of embarrassing, it’s like he doesn’t even care. I think you should lower your expectations a bit. I don’t think there’s a snowballs chance in hell he develops into a true number one. There’s like six of those guys on the planet, and Hughes doesn’t look like he has the makings of an all situations player. If he proves me wrong, it will be one of the biggest turnarounds in league history. Right now, he plays at five on five like a third pair PP specialist. I think if he starts giving a damn about defense, there’s a chance he could develop into a number 2.</div></div>

He was very good defensively and an easy number 1 literally last season. The entire team was horrendous defensively this year. He definitely needs to work on his defensive game but to say he doesn't have the capabilities to be good defensively is a straight up bad take.

Thread: Trade Idea
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TheAlien</b></div><div>I'd do a Myers-Henrique swap but I'm not interested in taking Henrique's contract for anything else</div></div>

I get that, but Henrique is actually still a quality middle 6 forward. His decline isn’t that egregious. His overall contract value (according to the Athletic) is actually around 3.5m so the “bad money” is approximately 2m per season for his remainder which isn’t terrible.

He still scores at a 40-45 point clip and his contract isn’t buy out proof in the final year if things go sideways

I think a swap like this would help us this year and next for sure to be competitive. It wouldn’t affect Pettersson or Hughes extensions, even on a bridge and we’d still have roughly 26m in cap room next year, only needing to sign Boeser and Rathbone.

The contract is not good, but it’s not an albatross either.
