Thread: (NJD/ARI) - Hall, Speers for Bahl, Merkley, Schnarr, 1sr round pick, conditional 3rd round pick
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Random2152</b></div><div>I've come down a bit on the Naz trade, but sakic 100% lost that trade, just like Shero lost this one. When Grabner gets a similar packages to Hall, there is an issue.

This is also whataboutism. It is a logical fallacy. You've made no argument against anything I've said.

You also highly underrate hall. His underlyings are fantastic, he is just shooting a low % and on a bad team this year.</div></div>

I don't really see anything special about Halls game and I don't think he's a real game changer like other superstars. Did the Devils lose the trade? Yes, and no matter what they were getting in return or who they were trading with they would've lost the trade. I think you're just using the word fleeced way too freely.

Say the Yotes win a playoff series and Hall resigns (unlikely, but possible if he does make a big difference to the lineup). NJ would land two first round picks. That's basically what Boston received when they shipped Kessel. I think this is a typical trade that is centered around an elite winger.

Thread: New Lines After Injuries
Really depends on how the next couple games go and when all those wingers are estimated to come back. If they can't win consistently without those guys and they'll be out for a while I absolutely see them making a trade for a winger and giving up a defensemen. It would most likely be a one for one trade involving Rosen, Barberio, Connauton or Graves for a winger. Maybe some pick swapping as well. It could work with Toronto if they gave up Kapanen, Johnsson or Kerfoot. They're cap strapped but a one for one trade with and of those forwards for any of those D would create more space for Toronto.
Johnsson Ceci and Bracco is a heavy price to give up for EJ, I think he's pretty overrated and I don't think Toronto wants to take on his contract. But Toronto honestly seems like the most logical trade partner.

Thread: Projecting the Salaries of RFA Forwards
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Trickster</b></div><div>Interesting read, I will say team comparables are non-factor in negotiations.

GMs use league comparables.


I think overall you are a little light on $$$ for all the players you mentioned.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>oneX</b></div><div>Thisthisthis!
For over 25 years contracts are offered and signed based on league wide comparables. Now some people here may not like that or think things are headed for a change and maybe they are, maybe not. Said changes will only come when the next CBA is negiotated.

Until then, league wide comparables is how these RFA's should get paid.</div></div>

The team comparable for me is usually an indicator of how the front office likes doing things (ie term on a contract, bonuses, etc). If you look at most teams players who have similar roles have similar salaries. It's not as accurate as a direct comparable but it is important to take into account.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Vorg_Vaarg</b></div><div>Ducks have a few years before they’re battling Vegas and SJ for the pacific.</div></div>

It'll take some time but they'll bounce back quicker than most, they could make the playoffs in two years. They draft and develop better than almost anybody and Vegas and San Jose players will be getting worse as they get better. The Kings have some more time to rebuild and the Yotes will only be there one more season.

You're right about Vegas though, especially for the next three years or so. Probably should've played the Blues in the CF this year but they'll win the division this year and have a great shot at the cup. Wouldn't be surprised if the Sharks struggled this season, really depends on if Karlsson is healthy.

Thread: NYR Cap Relief
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Crash33</b></div><div>McAvoy's only bargaining power is to hold out. Bruins outplayed Blues in Game 7, they were that close to the Cup. McAvoy needs to sacrifice an early pay day for a Stanley Cup.</div></div>

Basically nobody is sacrificing money for a chance at a cup, especially all of the younger players in the league. McAvoy will probably make 7 minimum, and the Bruins need to sign Carlo too. He came up huge for them in the playoffs and other than Rask was probably the biggest reason they made it as far as they did. Bostons priority is signing both of their top defensemen right now. Maybe they go after a forward at the deadline if need be.

Unless you can take some salary off Bostons hands (especially Backes), which is pretty much impossible if you're the rangers, you're not gonna be able to send anyone to Boston.
