Thread: If teams made smart moves
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NJTM</b></div><div>Tristan Jarry does not yield a top 10 draft pick. The devils could go after Linus Ullmark and give up less. There’s an argument they could go after Juuse Saros and give up less. I’m not opposed to Tristan Jarry, but not at that price. Even including Mike Sullivan as coach doesn’t make up for this either.</div></div>

if you really think you can get saros or ullmark for less than a 1st and Kevin bahl who's nothing great at all you are dreaming. might be too much for jarry tho.


I don't think this is the way to go honestly. the defensive core looks worse then with EK65 on it. graves is still there and playing top 4. you have 9 mil left of cap space not sure how this helps the team compete.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Hockeyfan1234</b></div><div>Teravainen only had like 16 more points than Rakell who had a down year, playing with injury, and played less games. He’s not much better…definitely not better enough to warrant trading a top goalie prospect and Puustinen to dump Rakell for him.
I’m not bothered by the smith trade here, that was just more in general because a lot of people trade him then sign Debrusk to a worse contract. But it’s been happening a lot with Rakell too with people dumping him then signing guys like Teravainen or Debrusk. At least go after a big name if you’re going to dump him lol</div></div>

yeah I wouldn't sign de brusk either.

I saw it more like rakell for Reinhart which is obviously a huge upgrade and smith for teravainen which also is an upgrade.

Thread: next season
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jded</b></div><div>I wish you all the best with those prospects. That comment put not a single hint of doubt in the statement I made.

In your talent pool it’s Yager, then Blom (who is of no interest to ANA because we already have a great goalie pipeline), and then a cliff drop to the nexT guy. Glad you’re hyped on those guys though</div></div>

you'll see next season already... don't worry about it.

and please explain how you're goalie pool is great when your best goalie prospect is the one we traded to you knowing he wasn't close to be as good as Blomqvist ....

no cliff after yager and boom. koivunen is a top 6 sure thing and broz and ponomarev great third line centres (broz has more margin to be top 6 guy).

obviously we don't have a deep pool considering we have won 3 cups in the last 15 years and always contending. but quality over quantity. always. is better to have 1 Blomqvist than 4 Calle clang

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Haymaker26</b></div><div>Rakell isn't playing at the World Invitational over injury issues. I'm willing to bet it was the one that sidelined him in Nov-Dec and he's been playing through it for months. He comes back healthy and suddenly that trade looks Hextallian. And while Puustinen is replaceable, I'm not certain anyone we have is going to slot in as effectively as Puusty, or anyone we could get on the market would be available at as low of a cap hit Puusty would get.
"Lets trade a top 6 winger, a cheap middle 6 winger when we have suspect depth, and a goalie prospect with potential for nothing because that top 6 winger had one bad year due to injuries!" Masterful gambit, sir.</div></div>

I'd tend to agree with you. but tell me this isn't a much much improved team in respect of what we had last year.

(we have Blomqvist over murashov either way and we signed a much better player in free agency without giving up assets)

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Hockeyfan1234</b></div><div>Rakell ain’t that big of a dump, if he’s even a dump at all. Would be better off just keeping him. I’m not sure what penguins fans fascination with trading guys like Reilly Smith and Rakell as massive cap dumps just to sign similar players to worse contracts. Its mind boggling.</div></div>

trust me as a pens fan teravainen is much better than smith and rakell.

smith had a great start but after like game n.12 he stopped producing. he is a good player didn't really work with us. it can be even more than a 5th for him but I dindn't want people to focus on the trade rather on how good or bad this team would look like.

rakell had a down year also injured. he also is a good player but in all honesty the contract doesn't look great.
