Thread: how i would do it currently
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>fil97</b></div><div>I'd hope poulin or puusty have a very good camp and can pass Nylander for that top 6 spot.

I'd also think you would need chad to play to get him on the pk... not sure EK is a good penalty killer

very curious to see if sully goes with 2d on pp1 it could be a good idea considering the huge amount of chances against we give up.</div></div>

Yeah as much as we know Nylander can hold his own we need more than that so I’d like to try someone else in the top-6… basically whoever has the best camp I say give them a shot…

I think EK should be paired with pettersson, letang needs a puck mover (graves) and EK needs someone who’s great defensively and pettersson has a great reach and he’ll need it with how many 2 on 1s he’ll be defending against

Also Chad ruhwedel starts bc we need someone to kill penalties and smith and poj together would be atrocious defensively

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MrRuB</b></div><div>No really that much, but someone’s gonna have to overpay to get him. And next years pick not this year. Pettersson is overpriced by about 1.5M for what he brings.</div></div>

That doesn’t have to be us when you already got Graves. And no shot that MP is overpaid. Not after the season he had last year and is just entering his prime. And even if you think MP is overpaid this year, what do you think Hanifin is going to look for in an extension? You’re robbing next year and the foreseeable future for a slight upgrade this year. That would be fine for a massive big name game changer. Not for a guy that’s only a slight upgrade. Especially since Calgary has no leverage due to the fact most of the team wants out and has already come out saying they refuse to sign extensions.

Thread: trading down
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>fil97</b></div><div>thanks for your insights!

yeah I tried to get some cap space moving those two dmen and trading down. I'm really interested in understanding how you 'graded' with points those deals.

all in all I believe I put a better roster together hoping to contend for the cup. also I gave only two years to dumba even if I wanted to give him only one year cuz I wasn't sold on him either. do you have any suggestion? could maybe Shayne Gostisbehere be a better fit? or who else?</div></div>

I would try to get Tanev out of Cal. He is on the last year of his deal but he is a great shut down dman. It depends on what the Pens want.

Petry is a better puck mover and more about controlling play. Tanev is better at staying at home and preventing goals / shots.

Ghost has flashes of great play, and could be an option. I am a big fan of De Haan. His advanced numbers are dynamite. I think he would be great with Smith on the 3rd pair (though they would both be LHD).

I like Brody in Tor, Addison in Minn, OEL as a bounceback candidate. There are options if Pit moves away from Petry.

All of that said, I'm not sure I would. He has a decent chance to bounce back offensively. Defensively, he was fine.

For the picks value, I use this site. It seems to have good data.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>fil97</b></div><div>yeah I guess I agree with you about the petry situation. and this team could be built the same-ish way even with petry instead of dumba. the only think I would say is that probably as a 6mil player I expected a bit more of him... I guess also injuries didn't help.

I'm trading down again in the rutta deal very similar to the petry deal.

yeah hill is a risk cuz who knows what he'll do next year, I signed him over the other guys that you mentioned cuz I think he was the better suited to be a starter. another idea could be trade desmith and have a varlamov korpisalo duo.

as for jarry I'm really tired of his injuries even if he is probably the better goalie out of all of these, and also read he was looking for a 6yx5.5-6mil contract which looks like too much to me.</div></div>

It definitely could - that's kind of why I brought it up. I think you're only a couple hundred dollars over if Petry comes back - if my quick math is correct. For sure, I can agree that his contract and AAV are still bad, even if he had a solid season.

You are trading down - I just think NSH would view Rutta as a cap dump. And therefore the payment of taking Rutta is moving up in the draft. so I don't think they would want to add the 2nd. That was the way I looked at it.

He could be - although he's never been a starter and the others have. I think Varlamov/Korpisalo could be a solid tandem, depending on the pricing of them. I get the Jarry and injury frustration. He's played the 6th most games over the past 3 years so I do think it's a bit overblown though. Oh that's definitely too much I agree - I would definitely not give him that. I'd try like 3x4.5 - maybe 5mil max. Anything more I'd explore other options.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>fil97</b></div><div>yeah the dumba signing is meh you are right, was hoping in a bounce back year which is more probable than Petry having one. but still that's the path I would take, signing another D. who do you have in mind, UFA? trade? who?

that deal can also be proposed to sharks and blues somebody there accepts (sharks and 29th blues in particular)

schmaltz is probably a little overpaid but i think his play could have an even bigger impact than rakell had

honestly those 4 line look fire.

yeah on hill you are probably right, would you rather sign jarry maybe to a 2/3yx5mil contract, get another goalie?</div></div>

I don't really think Petry needs to have a bounce back year though. That would imply that he had a bad season this past year. Dumba is probably due for some kind of bounce back sure, but even his bounce back isn't better than Petry imo. If you were saving a lot of cap then I could see the logic - that's why I specified "at 5mil AAV". For 2RHD, Petry replacement? Not sure there's really anyone they can realistically get to be honest. And getting rid of Petry is going to be pretty difficult so I don't really see it even happening anyways. But in this scenario, if it does, maybe they could upgrade the 2LHD instead and sign a cheaper 2 RHD? Not sure. I just don't think there's a lot of 2RHD to be had. Maybe they can trade him for Marino(Hextall joke lol)

Would they? You're essentially trading Rutta for a 2nd, no?

For Schmaltz, I meant the trade price, not AAV. I think his AAV is fine. And agree, he would definitely have a bigger impact than Rakell.

Oh the lines look good - I'm not trying to say they don't. It's a solid team.

Assuming the choices are Jarry at 3x5 or Hill at 5x4.5 - yes I would definitely take Jarry. I'm not even against Hill, I would just hope the contract would be less term and a little less AAV. Only other UFA options I really see would be Anderson, Varlamov, or Korpisalo. A lot of this depends on what these guys would cost too, which we don't really no for sure.
