Thread: What are your thougts on value
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>aedoran</b></div><div>Ok but why its much easier not to trade Green for Galchenyuk. On capfriendly.com users talk about flipping players like it happens all the time but much like offer sheets it doesn't happen very much in real life.</div></div>

I figured that Detroit might trade veterans at the deadline to get value because they're rebuilding, so that's why I think they'd trade him to answer your question. Point received about him being a Caps player but I think players don't always view rivalries the same way fans do especially 5 years removed. If he wants a playoff push, the closest contenders to his family in Detroit are Pittsburgh and Toronto so I would assume those are on his radar (again this is if he wants to do that, he hasn't wanted that in the past). For Detroit, I think it's easier to pull off a trade with Galchenyuk than it is with Green. That was my reason for proposing the trade, obviously 90% of all our opinions are speculative, so I'm more interested in perceived value (hence the title of the post) and my take away is that some people think ''Galchenyuk has zero value to Detroit'' and others think ''The Pens would get a younger faster D man dangling Galchenyuk.'' so I'm going to conclude that my value is fair hahaha

Thread: Galchenyuk and Bjugstad GONE
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BlastnyFromThePastny</b></div><div>I do think they trade too much and it doesn't seem to be working. I understand that trading helped them win back to back cups quite recently. But now it seems like it doesn't take very long from the time they acquire someone to the time people to them want traded away already. Mind you they've got a decent gap between them and other teams fighting for wildcards so it's not dragging them down too much.</div></div>

I think their strategy at the moment is that the window is closing on Crosby/Malkin/Letang window so they don't want to wait too long on something that's not working out (like Galchenyuk who is a UFA at the end of the season). What's your take on Galchenyuk who is up at the end of the season?
