Thread: Getting OEL some friends
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>FullSend</b></div><div>The chances Tavares signs in the Dessert or relatively slim, he wants to stay as close to home as possible, if he’s signing far from home, sure.. he will take a pay rise of 12 mill, but it should also be noted he wants to go to a contender if that’s so, or why would he leave the Islanders.

The Karsson trade isn’t bad, maybe a bit more to Ottawa. But would he accept a trade to Arizona? Because he has a no trade clause.

Don’t think Montreal will fully take the cap of Kruger</div></div>

Don't think they'll take Krugers full cap hit? Why on God's earth would they trade a second round pick for Kruger when he's been traded for nothing from the blackhawks to the knights then to carolina, then put in the AHL, then traded to Arizona...

Thread: Dynasty Reign
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Lly</b></div><div>Saad going to be 26 in October, but yes, JVR is older. JVR wouldn't really ~cost more because they're not giving up their #1 d-man to sign JVR. We know Carolina is listening to every offer, but a #1 d-man like Slavin on a good contract is going to cost more than Saad and a swapping of picks whose value difference is realistically none. Plus, Carolina has already said they don't want to move any of their top 4 d-men unless a legit 1C is coming back somehow and their targets are supposedly guys like Tavares and O'Reilly.

Also, if they're looking for a scoring winger, they're about to get one with the #2 pick.</div></div>

I cant see them turning down Saad for Faulk or Hanifin though. Slavin was a reach yes

Thread: How to Rebuild Colorado
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>adamkaz23</b></div><div><div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>dbudz12</b></div><div>I agree that he wants way too much but nobody is going to give him that much and eventually his hand is going to be forced. with 2 years left on his deal he has more trade value than he does with only 1 year left. If Sakic doesn't trade him he should be fired.</div></div>

Actually Duchene could have more value next year if he has an excellent bounce back year. A team could acquire him at the draft and immediately sign him to an extension, like the Ryan O'Reilly deal. At this point in the summer it looks like Duchene will start the year with the Avs so it seems Sakic is banking on a big year from Duchene. That's a pretty big gamble though..</div></div>

Its a huge gamble. Duchene has shown a lot of frustration amid all the trade talks and if he has another down year Sakic is screwed with his biggest trading chips. What do you think of the other trades though?
