Thread: Tweaks
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CowanDeBrabarian</b></div><div>SJ is widely rumoured to want Myers as a short term RD to eat up some of Karlsson's minutes. With retention he will have some value at TDL for a contender.

Beau has negative value? Not sure at all where that idea comes from. With retention, at 3.15, he is definitely a value contract with upside as a middle 6 option. He is far from a cap dump, like Hoffman, Granlund, Lebanc, etc, etc.</div></div>

No they're not. There was one rumor that there was a Labanc for Myers deal on the table and it didn't happen. Now they have Rutta on that right side, so getting Myers would do them no good. The 2nd should literally be going the other way considering SJ is taking on 2 cap dumps and VAN is taking on one.

And people have such short term memories with Granlund. Dude had 60+ points a year ago and was on pace for 50+ with NSH before he was traded last season. He was just an awful fit with Pitt

Thread: Trade Chabot while you can
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>goodaytoday</b></div><div>So what are your thoughts on what to do with Pinto and Sokolov? Just give them a qualifying offer and hope they don't sit out a whole year? What are your thoughts on what to do with Joseph? Keep him or trade him, and what would you give up to trade him?</div></div>

Sokolov is probably looking at an 800k ish deal, maybe a 2 year with the 2nd being a 1 way. Pinto is probably short term, 2/3 years at around 2-3m. I’d move Joseph and you can package a prospect and pick to a team. Something like Joseph + Sokolov/Thomson/Jarventie (depends on what the other team wants really) + a 3rd or something. Joseph isn’t a terrible player, he’s real good on the PK and he’s still young enough that I’m sure some teams would love to pick up the assets for taking him. Helps both the now and future and worst case, he sucks this year for them too but 2 years (past this year) at 3m isn’t the worst contract to have. Ottawa would just use the money saved from Joseph to give to Pinto and roll a 21 man roster. Top 9 consists of Tkachuk, Stutzle, Giroux, Norris, Tarasenko, Batherson, Pinto, Kubalik and Greig.

Thread: Karlsson stays
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>goodaytoday</b></div><div>I'm probably the minority on this but I think the kids should play in the AHL. The only one I would put in the NHL is Thrun, because he will probably leave if forced to play in the AHL. I don't think he is ready for the NHL though. I'm not sold that playing on the worst team in the NHL is the best place to gain confidence and improve your skills,</div></div>

100% agree. I'd even keep Eklund down until injury or trade opens up a spot or he is absolutely torching the AHL. A great opportunity for the youngsters to bond playing in Cuda in what would hopefully be a winning team. With Thrun as long as they retain his RFA rights at least they could trade him for assets? But it seems like Thrun, Gawanke and Pulli all came to Sharks in hopes of a shot at NHL, which is odd to me because the Sharks already have 7 D men on NHL contracts?
