That's too much for a year of Pacioretty, and the Pens can't afford to re-sign him to big money

Thread: Wouldn't this be nice - CGY / TOR

My guess is Nylander would cost more like Hamonic plus the package you mentioned.

Forum: Armchair-GMJun. 27, 2018 at 1:13 p.m.

I just don't see the need to pay a 3rd pairing guy almost $4M per when you are going to need that money next year for Guentzel and potentially Brassard.

Thread: What to do now

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>okrepps185</b></div><div>Terrible for CAR</div></div>

They've got a guy with a very inconsistent record and serious injury concerns, albeit with high end skill, on an expiring contract. I don't think they're getting much more than that if they want to move him. Maybe a 1st instead of a second, but a middle 6 forward, B prospect and a pick is about the right value.

Thread: 2018-19 cups winners

This is really, really bad. Bogosian and Girgensons are giant cap dumps for Buffalo, and you want to send them a top 4 Dman on top of taking on that dead money?

With the Dallas deal, you want to give up a perennial 40-60 point guy in exchange for a guy who has never hit 20 goals or 40 points?

These moves go hard against the "win now while Sid and Geno are in their primes still" mentality.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BrianLombardo</b></div><div>If his playing time is cut bad by Tavares signing, and he is promised to be flipped my MTL for a team he can win with, I'm sure he won't nix a trade. He doesn't want to become a third liner.</div></div>

But Montreal wouldn't flip him. They're the most desperate team in the league for centres, and probably one of the few who would actually give something worthwhile to take on Krejci's contract.

So you did set the cap to the proper $79.5M, but they just decided to completely ignore it?

Frolik and Bennett are on the 3rd and 4th because I was trying to balance the lines out a bit. They'll almost definitely be 2nd and 3rd.

I think it's a pretty fair deal. It's hard for Carolina to ask for any more than that without an extension in place.

Super interesting deal from an impartial bystander. Looks pretty fair on paper. Good idea.

Thread: Somewhat Realistic Tavares

Theoretically, Signing JT means you have one year to really go for it, so why deal TJ or Miller before the season and leave almost $9 million in cap space? Just doesn't make sense. If you want to deal Johnson and Miller at the draft next year, fair enough but why not load up and go for it all this year?

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>claytron8000</b></div><div>Calgary wants to get out from under this money. Boedker makes the situation worse for them so they probably pass.</div></div>

Which is a good idea in theory if you can move Stone for picks, but I don't see that happening, and Boedker fills a more useful role for the same length of time, and basically the same money.

If you consider Burakovsky and Bennett are both guys who have shown flashes of brilliance but largely underperformed, they're basically a wash, and that's a massive price to pay for Grubauer.

Thread: im ideal offseason

8-10 minutes a night for your bottom pairing means everyone in your top 4 is playing 25-26 minutes a night, which very few guys in the league can handle successfully.

I would say with the 1st included the Sabres are probably overpaying slightly. Maybe throw in Bogosian to dump on Carolina as well to balance it out...

Connor and Roslovic is a crazy high price to pay for that deal, even considering dumping Mason and Kulikov.

Thread: What is his trade value

His value is very little right now, maybe a 3rd round pick because he's been passed on the depth chart by so many other options. He's been very good in the AHL but doesn't look like a guy who can stick in the NHL and make an impact. He's a sell low candidate and maybe he pans out, but I don't expect there to be a lineup to get him.

Don't see that Karlsson deal happening. Why would Vegas give up such a massive chunk of their future when they could wait a year and get him for free, not to mention taking on Bobby Ryan's terrible contract...

Thread: Karlsson, Tavares, Grubauer, Johnson

Some very solid moves to make Colorado a big time contender. I'm not sure Ottawa does that deal for Karlsson though, even to get their own 1st back. I think it would be more likely that they would just give up the 4OA this year than use Karlsson to buy back next year's. I would think to give Karlsson, they would want it to be OTT 2019 1st plus either Makar or Girard, maybe even Timmins.
