Thread: Playoffs Kovy Tankalenko 2C

Just FYI: He's nowhere near as tank-ish as his pops, who was both much heftier and a fair bit faster. And I'd say you're puffing up his CV a little bit, as well. We'll see if the way he plays (his compete and willingness to go into traffic are certainly in line with dad) translates on the cozier rink with the meaner opponents. He could be helpful, but I would not go betting the farm on it.

Clearly no one cares about 50 games when your team is irrelevant and the player also is. No one should even consider a 2nd for a player who has been a flop all of his career. A 3rd at the deadline would be a good return.

Thread: Granlund and Fleury off IR

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>earl08</b></div><div>How is that? With Nuke & Kovy all he needs to be is NHL average.</div></div>

What’s the #1 issue with RyJo he can’t keep up right? Granlund was toast in PIT last year, this year he’s having a rebound year sure but he is playing 20 minutes a game on the top line to do it and check out his skating stats, he is below 50th percentile in top speed and speed bursts, he spends an abundance of time in the dzone (like 46% of his TOI) not something you’d like to see in a top line guy, he gets crushed in even strength and his xGD is -12.6. I mean if you are talking about moving real assets for him he is more the same as RyJo imo, I mean at least in the proposed trade they are having a smaller cap hit.

Thread: JGP Year Two

I like JGP, but it still leaves COL with a 3C pretending to be 2C.

Thread: Playoffs Diff Idea What Do Isles Think

I would take that deal for the Isles - I think there would be room for some retention going back to Colorado (personally I'd offer $500K so the cap charges cancel out for this year and next) and Meyers isn't really a necessary part of the deal. Pageau would likely be a better fit in Colarado than Johansen has been, but I would be happy to take him in to see if he bounces back in a different system and also be rid of the deal a year sooner than Pageau's if he doesn't.

Thread: Playoffs Diff Idea What Do Isles Think

if they were to retain at least a mil i'd be interested in it, but i don't see that happening from their side and i don't think we'd want to pay what they ask for 3 years of retention. Without it though i don't think you're getting a legit 2C or bang for your buck for 5 mil.

Thread: New Centers

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>squashmaple</b></div><div>He just has more valuable to his current team than any team would rightfully pay to acquire him for all the above reasons, not least of which is that Columbus is simply <a href="https://theathletic.com/5271001/2024/02/13/boone-jenner-trade-blue-jackets/" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">disinclined to trade him at all</a>. This horse has been beaten to death repeatedly on these boards. In a vacuum, the Horvat deal would be a pretty good equivalent as his low cap hit locked in for three postseasons evens up whatever difference in point production the two have (and consider he <em>is </em>the offense on a terrible team, while Horvat was not), which is young roster player for cap reasons + top prospect + first. A first and a negative value cap dump with term beyond this year and a bad history with our GM are not even getting a callback.</div></div>

I assumed the Jackets trading Jenner was probably still not on the table. Good talk.

Ritchie won't likely be in any discussion for Nelson. He's projected for the role after Nelson's contract would be up. If there is one prospect who is off the table he's it.

Yup I am a Sabres fan. I'm also a right handed hockey player, who plays defense, on the left side of the ice. So no I don't understand how ignorant of a comment it is, I very much understand the possibilities of playing on ones opposite side.

Thread: dowd for a first

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Garak</b></div><div>Who are you trying to convince? You could take Guttman out of the deal and CHI would still say no. Meyers + a 5th and a 6th are not enough to dump RyJo. Meyers wouldn't make the team, either. And if he did, it would be purely as a stop gap until someone was ready to take his place. If COL and CHI are making a deal surrounding RyJo, COL is going to pay for dumping him. I'm not sure there is any team that would assign positive value to him.

lol. Guttman isn't special. You're funny.</div></div>

No he really isn't and you're so way off on your assessments it's unreal!

With MAF, i think the wild could get upwards of a first for him with the goalie market so hot, as an Oilers fan I think our GM would be a 2nd and a 3rd for sure.

Thread: Gourde Next Year

I really, really like Gourde and i think that he would be a great fit. He plays with great pace and grit and is a very proven playoff-performer. Skill wise he’s not really a 2C but the stylistic fit could probably make up for some of that. Not so fond of the price and cap hit tho, which indicates more production than a 34 points (12 goals) over 80 games pace.

This is a 2024/2025 roster and you still have Landy on LTIR here. Any specific reason for that?

If that were the case I would be shocked if Conroy couldn't get a 1st in any deal for any of the above mentioned guys.

Ritchie OR Behrans + Johanson + 1st for Lindholm 2.45M

At his full cap hit, Johanson + Ritchie OR Behrans + a pick.</div></div>

Well thought out argument.

I don't know if Calgary does this or not.

But you certainly presented a valid case. 😁

I'd love to see Lindholm as 2C on Colorado. 🙂

Smith is hurt.

Try Miromanov from VGK. Just coming back from injury and will eventually have to pass through waivers. Came up as a forward.

Pysyk can also play both.
