Thread: Off Season
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>dannibalcorpse</b></div><div>I honestly don't hate this trade. Pulock is basically RD2 now with Dobson being a guy I can see getting a handful of Norris votes this year; if we can swap him out for a young, top-6 forward like Perfetti while also getting someone to backfill RD2 for a year, I think it's a good deal. I'd think about swapping Nate Schmidt instead of Pionk, for two reasons: first, hoping that it makes it appetizing enough to Winnipeg to drop the 3rd from the Isles side; second, I think Schmidt replicates what the Isles would be losing with Pulock better than Pionk does. But that's a minor quibble at this point.</div></div>

Im fairly certain, swapping Schmidt for Pionk would make WPG need to send you additional assets back, not just remove the 3rd. Its a pretty vast difference between Pionk's value and Schmidts. Whether or not he's the player that fits better.

Thread: Tkachuk-Style Trade To Upgrade Top Six
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>dannibalcorpse</b></div><div>The big issue to me is that if you're looking for a Tkachuk-style trade, CBJ has to be sending back a Huberdeau &amp; a Weegar and I don't know if that's on this roster currently. I can see a Laine or Gaudreau being the Huberdeau, but the closest to Weegar I can see is Provorov - and considering Provorov is already collecting $6.75M per year on his deal, I don't think you're going to be able to extend him to the type of contract Weegar agreed to.

I think you can immediately rule out Barzal &amp; Bratt, though - I can't see two GMs making this type of trade intra-divisionally. I also think that Necas/Konecny/Batherson, while very good, are not quite on the level that Tkachuk was at the time of the deal.

Keller is the most interesting option to me - the Coyotes are losing more than $13M in dead contract IR this summer (Bryan Little/Jakub Voracek), and while there are always dead contracts to acquire, I think bringing in Gaudreau &amp; Provorov for Keller would be an interesting move. I think the issue is that NTCs start rearing their ugly heads when you talk about sending someone to the Mullett.</div></div>

Gaudreau/Laine are the closest we have to Huberdeau, and yes Provorov would be the Weegar. I don't think Provorov makes $6.75 on his next deal based on how he's played, so a Weegar extension in the $6.25M range would be on the table (and honestly probably a bit high).

I agree on Barzal, Bratt, etc. but I think it's for reasons aside from in-division (Lou being committed to his guys, Bratt being a critical part of a NJ team that's competing now, etc.). Of these options, Necas and Keller are the most likely ones, but again, I doubt either team moves them. Gaudreau's full NMC makes him almost a non-option as a trade piece, but someone like Laine or Johnson with either no trade protection or limited trade protection might be willing to go to Arizona, especially if they're getting guaranteed top-line minutes.

Thread: Adding for playoff race
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>dannibalcorpse</b></div><div>For $350K more (and probably a lower pick because there's no retention) you could have Anthony Duclair, who I think is a better fit with his speed.

What's the reasoning behind Comrie? Sorokin + Varlamov are locked in at the NHL level and they're using Bridgeport more to develop younger goalies than stash a 3rd. If Varlamov gets hurt, they bring up Appleby for emergencies and ride Sorokin til the wheels fall off; if Sorokin gets hurt, the wheels have already fallen off and it doesn't matter who they call up to be the backup goalie.</div></div>

Appleby got blown out in his one game and hasn't put up great numbers in the AHL, so Comrie seems like a more reliable option both as starter for Bridgeport and as goalie insurance should they need it, which is not too uncommon in the playoffs (if they make).
