Thread: Deadline + Letang
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MONSTER1974</b></div><div>I think MTL get more than a 3rd for Plekanec, especially if they eat half of his salary. At least a 2nd, maybe even a 1st. Keep in mind, a team that is willing to take on Pleks, is making a playoff push, and will draft 25-31 in the 1st round anyways. That 1st round pick is almost a 2nd anyways.

No way I would make that Danault trade. I think Danault has a future in this league as a 3rd line center and can chip in 15 goals a year. Mueller hasn't shown anything in any league yet that he could do the same.

I like the PIT trade... not sure they do. Depends what they see in Mete. I think Mete would look good on a 3rd pairing next season with Noah Juulsen. That duo could someday be our 2nd pairing after a few seasons of experience. Maybe if you lose Mete in a deal, you have to re-sign Jerabek in the offseason in hopes of maintaining some d-corps depth.</div></div>

I don't think there's any way Montreal gets more than a 3rd for Plekanec, he's an average 3C that can add depth to a contender, only has 16 points this season and only 28 all of last season, don't see him fetching much.

I'm actually a Devils fan and I actually think it would be tough to lose Mueller in a trade like that, Mueller had a stable position in our lineup and was playing quality minutes before he got hurt, just think Danault would help fill a role for NJ and his speed fits the Devs system, Mueller is a quality player though IMO

Rust I might be wrong on, but the way it stands now the Rangers need to leave Hayes exposed because they need to leave two under contract forwards exposed. Nash (NMC), Stepan, Zibanejad, Miller, Kreider, and Zuccarello will all take priority over him. Orlov also I think is gonna suffer from the numbers game, Niskanen, Carlson, and Alzner all ahead of him.</div></div>

Caps won't protect Alzner as he is a UFA and he would have to agree on a contract with Vegas. You only mentioned 6 NYR forwards who would take priority over Hayes, he will be the 7th forward and Vegas will probably pick Grabner. If Pittsburgh doesn't protect Domoulin, they will definitely protect Rust. Isles can either leave both De Haan and Hickey unprotected, or protect one and leave Nelson and Strome exposed.</div></div>

The Rangers have 8 under contract forwards and need to leave two of them exposed per the rules of the expansion draft. They need to leave two of Nash, Stepan, Zibanejad, Miller, Kreider, Zuccarello, Hayes, and Grabner exposed unless they trade for another under contract forward.

Forgot about Alzner being a UFA, so that's fair enough. For the Pens I had their protection list as Crosby, Malkin, Kessel, Hornqvist, Letang, Maatta, Schultz, and Pouliot, but I may be overvaluing Pouliot.

Thread: Realistic NJD
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>palhal</b></div><div><i>To me, it's doesn't make great sense to severely overpay a UFA. And 8.5m is a severe overpayment. Seems to me he really doesn't want to be in NJ when you pay him 2m more than any other offer he will get.
Look where he rates in the St Louis lineup (maybe St Louis observers can comment). He rates behind Pietrangelo and made even Parayko.
Remember how the NJD "stole" Hall from the Oilers.....look how successful having one better player has worked out for the Devils.</i></div></div>
The last time a defenseman of Shattenkirk'a caliber went to UFA, he got a 13 year contract for $7.5M per, Shatty is getting paid, no doubt about it, and a lot more than $6.5M. If the Devils don't give him $8M, someone else will, and I'd eat my hat if it's less than $7.5M
