Thread: John Tavares is the goat
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Capitals_O</b></div><div>How does adding Barbashev &amp; Severson make the roster worse? Ya they lose Reilly but they can win without him</div></div>

I was really talking about the trade itself rather than the additional transactions you made but I'd honestly rather keep Rielly. He has been great in the regular season and the playoffs for the Leafs. The term on his contract might scare me a little but I see Severson as a second pair defenseman at best, so really the big fish you're getting by doing this is Barbashev. He's obviously better than Jarnkrok but when it comes to money and the Leaf's situation, I'll just keep Rielly and Jarnkrok at that point. And who knows, maybe they find a separate trade for Murray and they can convince Barbashev to take a slight paycut.

Thread: Get a haul for 11 from CHI
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>DopeGM</b></div><div>This logic doesn’t stand up in my experience. I get it. But you look at the Kings rebuild for example. They have honestly way too many prospects. It feels like a lock that a player like Fogemo for example would make the NHL as a top sixer if he were in a less stocked system.

You don’t want to gift positions and trading from a position of abundance does sound great, but with the quality of this year’s top 15, the timing of cap implications 3+ years out, the ability to onboard around 3 rookies maximum per season, etc. I would overpay to get to #11 if I were Chicago.</div></div>

I like that you brought up the Kings rebuild, can't disagree with you there. The point I was trying to send is that if I'm Chicago, I wouldn't go out of my way to get another high-end first. Second round picks might not always be NHL caliber players, but I still feel like the value just isn't worth it for Chicago.
