Thread: Canucks go all in
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>canucksfan43</b></div><div>If thats the price then we'll pass, Lekkeriamaki is off the table no matter what. Sorry, your kidding yourself if you think they'd trade him in that package, let alone at all. "10 teams interseted" Dont you think he'd be traded by now if there was 10 teams interested? Enjoy the 2nd round pick youll get for Tanev</div></div>

I’ll take a bet on that every day that we get more than a 2nd for Tanev. I guess you don’t understand how markets work. 10 teams interested means you talk back and forth to see what teams are willing to offer. It also includes patience to wait for teams who maybe become more desperate. I’d say Quinn Hughes goes down for an extended time then what the Canucks are willing to give up probably changes. Thats just one example. You think Vancouver’s initial offer for Lindholm was what they ended up paying? There were tons of Nucks trade offers for Lindholm on here that were way less than what you paid for him.

It’s fine if the answer is no dude. No need to get so defensive about it. It sure doesn’t mean that Tanev is only worth a 2nd just because you’re not willing to pay the ask in this particular scenario.

Some of you guys on here need to chill. Ideas are things to be discussed. If you aren’t able to do it in constructive ways maybe this site isn’t for you ;)

Thread: Canucks go all in
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>alwaysnextyear</b></div><div>I do get your rationale on this, but I'm not convinced the swap of Coleman for Garland is worth it for the Canucks if they have to give up a top prospect. Coleman's been very good offensively this year but Garland has been (an admittedly overpriced) part of a great 3rd line in VAN. He's playing very well under Tocchet's system even if it doesn't show as much on the scoreboard.

I still think a Myers for Tanev swap should be looked at by Allvin, but it seems they don't want to pay a 1st for him. Likely there's another team that will.</div></div>

Good constructive post here. I appreciate that. I think Coleman is a big upgrade on Garland. Garland has played “better” but you still have him for another 3 years for a third line guy who doesn’t chip in much offensively. Coleman is showing his offensive ability and can play the physical style arguably better than Garland too. In my eyes that’s a big upgrade.

Myers is terrible defensively. Everyone has known this his whole career. Tanev has been a warrior and is known to elevate the play of anyone he’s paired with his entire career. There’s a reason there are 10 teams interested in the guy for playoffs. That also drives the price up. So when we look at things it’s about what the market dictates and based on competition for the player.

I think it would be a lot to give up but it would make your chances at raising the big mug so much better this year. This is the year the Nucks seem to be going for it so might as well give yourselves the best chances you can.

Thread: Whats Hanifin worth
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SharkTank</b></div><div>Kind of like how Tavares was signing in Toronto 2 years before it happened?

Or Debrincat was being traded to Detroit months before it happened?

Swing and a miss, Jamoke. 🤭</div></div>

No need to be so sensitive when people disagree with you. Maybe you should find another hobby that doesn’t trigger you so much.

There are thousands of examples of guys not playing at “home” and a handful of ones where it happened. So you saying that “everyone knows Hanifin wants to sign in Boston” is not only ridiculous to pretend you know what the guy intends to do, but also the most flimsy argument someone can make in a thread.

If you don’t want to play along with more than what your limited point of view suggests then maybe just stick to PS5 where you’re always right ;)

Thread: Offers for Lindholm
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>evelutions2</b></div><div>For the Canes, I could see them being interested in a reunion with Lindholm. That being said, the only way they even entertain Lindholm is if he is guaranteed to come with an extension, one that the Canes would realistically be willing to pay out (something along the lines of 6-8 years about 6-7mil). If Lindholm stands pat on wanting 1C money as a high end 2C, Canes have no interest. And if it’s acquiring Lindholm as a rental, they aren’t going to spend big assets like 1sts and top prospects for him to play 1/4 of a season.

As for an offer, assuming the above extension is in place, how about 24’ 1st, Ponomarev or Drury (Flames choice), TDA (for cap reasons if necessary; if not necessary then remove), Gunler, and any D prospect not named Morrow or Nikishin.</div></div>

I think this would be the deal I’d take if I were the flames. Assuming the extension worked for the Canes. But if you want a player you’ll find a way I suppose.

I’d take Gunler, the first, Deangelo, Heimo, and probably Drury. That seems like a lot to me and I’d gladly accept it.

Thanks for the offers everyone. I think this was fun and I may do another for some of the other Flames players.

Thread: Curious about nylanders worth
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>seanrushton</b></div><div>Scott Morrow, Alexander Nikishin, Jackson Blake, Bradly Nadeau. Scott Morrow and Alexander Nikishin are the future first pairing for the Hurricanes and Blake and Nadeau both have very good shots which the Hurricanes have been missing</div></div>

I think if Necas and Pesce both signed for say 5 x 5.5 necas and 4 x 5 Pesce (ballpark figures, maybe a touch higher), you include your first and either Drury or Heimo or Blake then the Leafs would have to say yes to that. I know Pesce hasn’t had a great year but he’s been a solid D for many years. Necas won’t produce like Nylander but he can put up 60 - 70 points on the 2nd line.

Plus the prospect and first can be flipped in a package to another team to upgrade goaltending (possibly Saros or Vejmelka) and another D. If you can do all that with one trade for Nylander plus another couple picks and prospects you’d be a fool not to.

Thread: NJ fans how would you feel if this deal went down
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>dgibb10</b></div><div>The NJD GM decided he was worth 3.1 mill this offseason. He's then been even better this year. He also has a full NTC. He absolutely has +ve value, and we will not be paying to dump a valuable 3C and PK guy who can play anywhere in the lineup.

Find me a better UFA C under 3.5 million... Only one out there is Staal and he also took a discount to stay in Carolina</div></div>

Kerfoot, Mittelstadt, Dickinson, Duchene, Cousins. Thats only after looking at a third of the league. Ya I’d take every one of those guys over Haula.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>dgibb10</b></div><div>Sign and trade UFA's aren't real. We also have no interest in hanifin at 7.5 mill, let alone markstrom at 6 mill as well.</div></div>

Flames just did it with Tkachuk. So not sure how they’re “not real”. I love when guys say “we’re not” doing this or that as if they have any idea what the GM would do or wouldn’t do in real life. This site is for ideas, not statements as if you know anything about what a GM would or would not do lol
Maybe chill a bit dude.
