Thread: Karlssons Sharks
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>hyawkus</b></div><div>the two should be moved to alleviate cap space and get useful future assets. With 26.5M per year for 3 defs, you'll need to have some cheap ELCs for the next 6 years to still be contenders</div></div>

They've got guys in the wings. Doug Wilson has done a ridiculously good job of not only hitting on the rare 1st round pick they keep but also signing long term the guys they trade 1st round picks for. In order to stay competitive, you have to find useful players later in the draft or via Free Agency which he has also done.

If they can avoid having to trade either, thats a very solid D-corps. If they have to trade one in order to keep enough pop up front, that can be done too. I'd be surprised to see them move both.

Thread: CAL PIT trades
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>hyawkus</b></div><div>Hudon should definitely be in Rutherford's mind, he'll come cheap. But he will probably do a Duclair and hit UFA status. As for the trade, why not do a 2nd if Jarry appears in 30 games (for the Habs) and the Habs make the playoffs, if not just a 3rd?</div></div>

I think the conditional pick is a smart move, and could totally be worth it in the end. Even if he does play in 20-30 games, his next contract would still come on cheap. I think your idea of a 3rd rounder (2nd if he plays in X of games) is enough to get the trade done in itself. Again, I just think it's so hard to gauge goalies and what they are worth until they play enough NHL games. But at least with Jarry it's more of a gamble for a future goalie rather than a back up, like Cam Talbot or Jake Allen would be.
