Vancouver declines and blocks all future calls. They're already paying top dollar to be a bad team in the league. No way they're going to pay top dollar, pay a player not to play for them, then give up 11th pick this year for 20th-30th pick next year in a weaker draft class plus take on a bust like Laf who Van will have to re-sign for more than the $2.45 mil they're eating on Garland

Thread: this really could be a dynasty

You want to trade a 1B goaltender, a mid-6 scoring winger, 2 top prospects, a first and a third for a PPG guy who has never played a full season? And then slide him on the 3rd line where his production will take a massive hit simply because of limited time and quality of linemates?

And then sign Severson until he's 35?

This is bad, so bad

Thread: is this good

Too much for Yamamoto, he'd be a 3rd at best. More likely a 4th or 5th and why give him up?

Thread: What Could Have Been

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MellowK</b></div><div>Graves and Haula walk, they're both replaceable.

McLeod, Bastian, Walsh, Bahl and Boqvist have yet to earn anything more than max $1.5m contracts and most will be fringe players at best.

Sieg and Shango will get raises, couple mil each. Graves and Wood coming off would make up for them easily.

Blackwood is an unknown, definitely hasn't earned a raise as of now though.

Mercer, who knows. Still two years for that though.</div></div>

You're kind of missing the point. You are still left with having to sign or re-sign a handful of players with $5 mil. Even if you luck out and get some decent cheap contracts, it still leaves you scrambling to be cap compliant for the next few years

You're not paying attention to the re-signs that will need to be done. Blackwood, Mercer, McLeod, Bastian, Zetterlund, Haula, Sharangovitch, Siegenthaler, Graves, Walsh, Bahl, Boqvist. This is a win this season EA NHL roster and no thought put to future signings whatsoever.

Thread: Agming the devs

What even is this team?
Vancouver deal kinda makes sense for both teams
2 firsts, a decent goaltender prospect who's 2 years from NHL ready and a great shutdown Dman they just acquired for a 32 year old goalie on the cusp of his declining years makes no sense and is an overpay
You're downgrading from Hamilton and paying a pick and paying him not to be in new Jersey????
And finally, giving away Blackwood for a pick with 30% chance of playing in the NHL

Like what was the goal here, to make the team worse?

Thread: How does this team do

Not bad but I dont understand paying Wood $3 mil to be a 4th line winger and dropping Yegor to a 3rd line wing role on his off wing. Whenever I see that in a roster, might as well trade him for a bottom 6 asset or fill another need on the team

Forum: Armchair-GMJun. 20, 2022 at 12:15 p.m.

Thread: Large and in charge

Nice ideas, but you might as well create another trade for Yegor as his talents are wasted as a 3rd line winger

Devils decline. Not only is Kassian not their style of player, but there's no room for him at his cap hit. Was that just a trade to move salary to another team?

None of these trades would happen except Vegas and even that doesnt give them enough cap relief to say yes.

You'd need a first, second, prospect and a top 6 player to get the Jets consider letting go of Ehlers. And they wouldn't trade him to a team in their same division

Smith is 39? And injured. Why trade a young goalie who hasn't even developed for a 2 million cap hit and a pick?
Why get goaltending help anyways? The playoffs aren't happening

I hate this timeline. Allen for Blackwood straight up doesn't even make sense, Blackwood was playing injured and Allen is a 40 game goalie.

Thread: stanley cup 22

It feels like Holloway is being thrown into this roster for the sake of Holloway being on this roster. Why would you put Hyman, who's proven he can play top 6 and with McDavid on the 3rd line
That seems like a lot to pay for a rental Holtby too

Thread: 22-23

Not entirely against bringing on Rodrigues, he's been stellar but you really going to put Sharangovich on the fourth line and limit his career like that? I think if Rodrigues gets signed then either Sharangovich or Bratt has to be moved. Too much talent to have on the wings and enough playing time to keep everyone happy

Thread: trade deadline

From the Devils perspective, these are all bad trades where the team loses.

They just traded a 5th for Murray, and now they're going to pay Boston $2.3 million to move the pick we paid up a round?

Then Gusev, I can stomach this one because of the first and I think Ho-Sang could use a new city to prove himself in but still. Komarov is at the end of his career and 2 years @ $3 mill each for a 3rd/4th line winger isn't good.

Then the worst trade, moving Zajac... Sorry, paying Pittsburgh nearly 3 million to play him when he's been the best Devil over his career and deserves to finish it in NJ.

Thread: 3 moves

Honestly on the block about the Devils trade. Butcher for Risto makes no sense to me. Analytically, Ristolainen is bad and is a mid4 defenceman, Butcher is trending up and may be stuck as a mid pair guy but I don't see him as aworse player or the same as Risto.

Mittlestadt for Wood is interesting, gives the Devils another young center, which inevitably will have to be moved or settle into a 3C role in exchange for a winger who goes into the corners, applies pressure and can add depth scoring here and there.

I'd decline

Wouldn't be surprised if it was an FU move to NJ, who definitely weren't taking a center in that spot.
