Thread: Long Shot Offseason
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ALitteral</b></div><div>You may not believe it, but that doesnt change the fact that he plays almost 22mins a night including over 3mins a night shorthanded. He is actually a good defensive player, which are exceedingly few and far between. I'm not saying that they wouldn't take a chance on JVR. Rather, there's no way that they would take JVR for Pesce 1;1. If you can get the Canes to send him here for that return, you deserve a job in the Flyers front office.</div></div>

I knew he was slightly more defensive minded, but I didn't know that he was known as their "shutdown guy", I guess I thought he had less value than he actually does, either way, I would be willing to add to the trade to get Pesce, half bc I want JVRs 7 mil off the books and now half bc I actually think Pesce would be good for us lmao

JVR has had at least a 54 CorsiF in the past 5 years and 4 of them were at least 57 CorsiF and 2 were above 60 CorsiF, the guys drives play, and the canes have been known to be advanced stats guys, Pesces Realative Corsi has been negative 4 out of the 5 years he has been in the league while JVRs has never been below 6 in the past 9 years. Maybe the Hurricanes would want more scoring and believe JVR needs a change of scenery to get his groove back. Also next time why don't you offer your thoughts on the trade and what would make it more even rather than just saying that it was bad. I would like to actually hear peoples thoughts on the trade and have a discussion about it

For the Laine trade, what is the 1-2 assets that the Jets can point to as the reason to make the move? It's a bunch of spare parts, and b-level prospects for an elite goal scorer.
For that Pesce trade, you are getting a 26 year old top pairing RHD. that would solidify the defense for the foreseeable future. You will not get him for JVR. The fact that you have the Canes adding is far-fetched.
For the Hank trade, sure... if you have the budget for him as a backup, there are worse professionals to bring in, but you can get a more reliable G for less money. (Hank has struggled in recent years.)</div></div>

About Laine, i modified it a bit idk if it updated, but I switched Laberge for Ratcliffe, and the second next year to a first next year. About Pesce, I dont believe he is a top pairing defenseman, he had 18 points in 60 some games this year, for giving up JVR for him, The Hurricanes have been reported to be a tea mthat leans more on advanced stats then the eye test. JVR Advanced stats are actually quite good, however personally if we are shopping for a goal scorer while we have one on the 3rd/4th line, then why keep him, I'd rather get a d-man back to replace Braun and give his spot to a young kid who can get some experience and see if they can produce at the same if not better level. And about Hank, that was a personal touch for me, looking at that goalie combo no matter how Hank has played in recent years looks scary. Maybe im bias bc I am a goalie, but that was more of a personal touch for me

Thread: Building for Now and Future
My thought process for the Toronto trade was basically Kadri for Gudas and more cap space, patty m was there too push the deal through and to get another ~5 mil in cap space to sign marner as with nyquist and dzingel my thoughts were have 4 skilled lines, if you look at that 3rd line teams would kill for that and the 4th line is two young rookies that are highly touted as well as dzingel who scored a good amount of points last year and seeing if you can keep that rolling and help the young kids is personally prefer to have those very skilled 3rd and 4th line as for the D I forgot to solve that problem and would solve it in a future one but on this one I tried for a more skill base team, a Toronto approach if you will lol, again this is my first one I’ll get better over time with these
