Murray is asleep at the wheel. Should have moved on from many players at the TDL. Canes would have paid a ransom for Rakell and/or Manson last year. He’s gonna end up getting pennies on the dollar.</div></div>

We balked at the Manson asking price last TDL, went with Hakanpää instead

Seabrook is gone. Doing it day 2 of the season still puts them over the cap.

It doesn’t save them anything.

Shaw’s cap hit would put them over the cap now. So this doesn’t work.

Thread: Rangers Finally Get a Very Good Center Prospect

Canes want both off the failing defenders from the 20 play in round? TDA gets most of the crap from the Aho poster goal but Trouba was just as bad during that play. Pump up Aho’s spirits during practice by allowing Aho to reenact the goal, possibly increasing his production earlier in the season.

Interesting plan but its a no from me. Trouba has a negative value contract.

Exactly this. Carolina isn’t bailing the Rangers out of a bad contract for good assets. Trouba is 2 million overpaid.

Pass on Trouba from this Canes fan.

Yep this. Canes have a few roster ready prospects that can help with the cap issues over the next 3 seasons. Cotton, Bokk, Suzuki, etc.

Dvorak would get that from Carolina if we dumped Gardiner on them too.

Thread: Domi

Domi might be a guy we could get but I doubt we trade much as far as positive asset for him. I know the Columbus GM would want to save face with the acquisition but I wouldnt give up a 2nd and 3rd to get Domi.

He really struggled, unsurprisingly, in Columbus. He takes a ton on penalties, isnt overly physical and hasnt been a reliable scorer. If Columbus wanted to give him away then I would accept a 1 year reclamation project Domi. Other than that, I avoid him.

the only people believe Butcher is better than Skjei are folks still reading NY media articles. Butcher is a cap dump. Skjei is not.

Thread: Most logical Eichel trade

If you want Necas and Jarvis (which is a no go), you have to take Gardiner. If you want a first too then we get Olafsson.

We don’t need Eichel. Giving up one of the best young forwards, a top prospect and our entire 2nd pair.

Thread: Why is everybody freaking out

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GenXHockey</b></div><div>Toronto’s defence is excellent. No issues there.

Mrazek is a clear upgrade on Freddy. Unfortunately Freddy has lost it. Hopefully the change of scenery will help him out.</div></div>

Defense was excellent in a bad division. Lets see how they do in a real division this season.

I understand that Freddie sucked this past season, injuries adding to it. If you were frustrated with Freddie during the last 3 seasons, you will be frustrated with Mrazek for the same reasons. Inconsistent, when he is off he looks really bad, lets in a way too easy goal, makes you second guess your opinion of him the moment he steals some games, capable of .920 sv percentage season but, also a .895.

Thread: Svechnikov

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Hockey247</b></div><div>i mean i have to say, your player evaluation is INSANE! you can't afford to sign a goalie that you developed and instead go out and overpay for a goalie with a poor playoff record... you guys are a stanley cup final caliber team and you think you'll get there with freddy andersen? not only cheap and broke, but poor player evaluation too! congrats!</div></div>

I am not a goalie expert by any means. If the team doesnt expect him to come close to those performances than I am good with it. He didnt repeat his one good season in the AHL either. that is with a really good team in front of him. I think the team really wanted Bernier but, Bernier's agent gambled on FA and it paid off that a bad team was willing to overpay. I think Bernier fit our style more than Freddie and I dont like the signing in the least. If Bernier would have taken 2 x 3.5 or slightly more to go with us, I wish we had offered it.

Speaking of overpaying, NJ did it again with Dougie. Dougie looks great in stats but he fades in the playoffs. The team wasnt willing to over spend on him. We cant afford to with Svech, Necas, and Aho all coming up for new contracts in the next 3 seasons. Not money issues but future cap issues.

Im not sure how we portray ourselves as cheap when we spend to the cap every year. That is just people wanting to make up a story because the team didnt spend money where they wanted them to. The money is still spent.

Lol. Wow you are ignorant. How often has a team that spends to the cap cheap / broke? Never is the answer.

You may think we have a player evaluation problem but that nothing to do with being cheap / broke.

To cap it off we just paid Freddie more money than what Ned asked for. That is the opposite of cheap. Thinking before you type is hard but it is something you should try.

Improvement in cap sure. The Op’s point wasnt excitement in lower AAV on goalies.
