Thread: Zegras

Easy no from the Ducks. Gustafsson and Kupari will at best be bottom 6 forwards, and a 3rd doesn't add much. So it's basically Lambert and scraps for Zegras, and Lambert isn't enough of a sure thing to justify him being the main part of the return

Thread: Grier you have to commit to the tank - please

Having 4 firsts is a little video game-y, but in principle I don't see why it couldn't happen. Pretty solid deals imo

Thread: plug a hole in the top 6

Huge no from Bs perspective imo. Tarasenko is awful defensively and wouldn't fit in well with the Bruins. I honestly would hesitate to pay a 2nd, let alone a 1st, a 4th, and a prospect. Plus having to trade Gryz who pairs so nicely with McAvoy just to acquire his cap hit? Just doesn't make sense to me.

Thread: Bruins

Oilers wouldn't give up that much for Ullmark. Maybe 1 for 1 for RNH but even then I would think the Bruins are the ones adding just because RNH is a centre and Ullmark is a goalie

Thread: winger targets

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>gpmack95</b></div><div>any interest in Guentzel?</div></div>

Probably no, for three reasons:

1. We probably don't have the assets to acquire him without giving up something significant from our roster
2. We already have Pastrnak for that high end goal scoring role. Obviously having Guentzel would be a nice luxury but it's not a dire need and it would cost a fortune.
3. Even if we extended him, we would have a lot of money tied up in wingers, which is a bad idea imo.

Yeah it would be a clear signal that they're rebuilding. But with new management who knows.

Thread: Need to get a 1C

My guess is Stamkos' next contract will be more like 3x$9m

Thread: Petey to Buffalo

Makes no sense for Vancouver imo unless Pettersson requests a trade or doesn't want to sign an extension. But even then I'd want a bit more. Cozens could become a 1C but I wouldn't say it's a lock, so maybe upgrade Ostlund to someone like Kulich or Quinn or something and it could be closer to fair value

Thread: Bergy Coming Back

Man I keep thinking about this. I'd be very surprised, but I'm holding out some hope against all odds that he's watching this team and thinking how fun it would be to join for another playoff run. Wouldn't have the wear and tear of a full 82 games either, and would only be away from his family for a few months.

Thread: keeping the retool going

Those UFA contracts are poor value, other than Stephenson who is way underpaid. Would rather develop in-house options or make a trade for a better value player.

Value is probably fair in a vacuum but Boston still says no

Thread: Lindholm trade - let the rebuild begin

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Celtics21</b></div><div>We know we’d have to pay for him to exit free agency. I think it’s safe to say that it exceeds Bo Hovart’s considering there is cash available at the end of this free agent class</div></div>

Agreed. Personally I'd like to see what we have in Poitras with a stop-gap 2-3 year option (e.g. Stamkos would be a great target if possible) rather than committing to a full 7 years or so with Lindholm or Hertl

Thread: Fair trades per scouting scores

Yep also Adam Fantilli is already the 2nd best player in the NHL right now with a score of 93, better than Draisaitl at 89 lol. Oh, and Martinook (81) > Debrincat (80)

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Celtics21</b></div><div>You do realize Lindholm is singing an 8 year contract when he’s 29. Hertl’s contract at his age is one of the appealing aspects of acquiring him.</div></div>

Yeah I also think Lindholm would probably be a bad idea, I just didn't include him because we don't know for sure what his next contract will be.

Thread: Lindholm trade - let the rebuild begin

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Celtics21</b></div><div>I do believe there is a trade for either Hertl or Lindholm, but I am pretty comfortable that it doesn’t include Poitras. They’ll take the chance that a player hits free agency before making that deal</div></div>

Hard pass on Hertl. At best he is fairly paid, and within a few years he will likely be overpaid. Plus that contract has another 6 years after this one.

Thread: Lindholm trade - let the rebuild begin

Definite no from Boston. Maybe something along the lines of Lysell + 1st + 2nd as a starting point.

Also if Lindholm isn't willing to extend in Calgary he probably also isn't willing to extend in Columbus

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Gofnut999</b></div><div>Desperate is a pretty big stretch.</div></div>

We're just a little spoiled. After watching them dominate for so long I think we forgot what a mediocre offence looks like.

Thread: Elias he gone

Even as a Bs fan that is such a poor return for Lindholm. Locmelis is a sneaky good prospect but certainly not a guarantee to make the NHL, Lysell is probably going to be a 3rd scoring winger who doesn't play defence, and Frederic doesn't add too much value. Maybe if you added Swayman or a 1st or something it would get you closer.

Thread: Garland

I know Garland isn't very valuable but he is worth more than a pure cap dump imo. I think he will get a similar return to Bjorkstrand (3rd + 4th, and that's with no other salary going back the other way).

I really hope he doesn't for his own sake. Would be hard to watch him potentially get a concussion knowing it could very well destroy his life.

That is way, way too much for Konecny. You’re basically paying 4 first round picks worth of value.

Yeah they lost a ton of talent but a large portion of it was only on the team after the deadline anyway, and they were already on pace for a historic regular season before the deadline. I really believe In my core that Zacha can be a 1B quality centre which should be enough to keep them comfortably in the playoffs

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BestGMBenning</b></div><div>I think Detroit should be ranked higher. Other than that it’s an agreeable list</div></div>

I think it will be close between them and MTL for last place, but imo OTT has undoubtedly passed them. Especially after adding Chychrun and Korpisalo, and having Stutzle reach legitimate star status.
