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.

Thread: Is there a need to replace Barrie
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Caniac2000</b></div><div>Trust me, I doubt he's better defensively. It's much more difficult to play D consistantly when you are facing a different top line every damn night, so to some regard it's easier to defend in the playoffs and it's why it's more grueling, I'm not saying Makar is a bad player, far from it, but I wouldn't be counting your chickens before they hatch here is all.</div></div>

Makar is more than capable of quarterbacking a power play at the NHL level, and his speed lets him takes risk and recover quickly. It's common for teams to let forwards quarterback their power plays, and any defensemen in the NHL, no matter how little they've played in the NHL, is a better defender than a forward who's an NHL regular. Krug first hopped into the Boston lineup in the power play during the playoffs and quarterbacked it then as a rookie d man and has been in that role ever since.

He will most likely continue to be sheltered 5 on 5, but he has what it takes to be on a pp1 unit.
