Thread: (OTT/CBJ) - Duchene, Bergman for Abramov, Davidsson, 2019 1st and a conditional 2020 1st round pick
To get TWO potential mid First Round Picks for a player that was NOT going to resign with your club is very good plus getting two additional young players. Ottawa should pray very hard that he resigns with Columbus because then this works out great for them. Their team is in shambles and they MUST rebuild through the draft because anyone older who has a choice to play in Ottawa will choose not to because of the atmosphere. Congratulations to both teams because they BOTH need to BEG players to sign with them or else nobody will in the future unless they are young and just want to play hockey. IF Columbus keeps Panarin and makes a big playoff run and BOTH players sign then they win HUGE but the percentage that happens is extremely low. I can only see Duchene staying because he needs to hunker down to a team before he gets traded once again.

Thread: Nashville Predators signed Tom McCollum (1 Year / $650,000 AAV)
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>rebecca</b></div><div>Hope for the best; plan for the worst.

McCollum gives the Predators insurance in the event of multiple injuries to their netminders. With a 35y starter, and in spite of Rinne’s historically good record for health, it’s not the worst idea. McCollum has been playing with Milwaukee (Predators AHL affiliate) until today on an AHL-only contract. His AHL pay is likely the same as it was yesterday so it is just an insurance policy in case Rinne AND Saros go down as now McCollum is eligible to play in the NHL (yesterday he couldn’t on his AHL contract)..

Hopefully, for Predators fans, they never get to see McCollum in net during the playoffs. That would indicate things have NOT gone according to plan.</div></div>

Good Points. Tommy is a first class human being and is a solid third goalie for this team. Congratulations Tommy!!!

Thread: Pens 21119
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>staytru20</b></div><div>If I'm CBJ, I'm hopping on that trade offer. I don't know if there's a bunch they can do with Maatta, but Kessel scores at essentially the same clip as Panarin, and is signed long term.</div></div>

Exactly. Because it makes total sense for them as they get a guy under contract which they need, a guy that replaces what Panarin did, they don't loose Panarin for nothing and they get added Defense depth from a player who knows the division plus they get another strong and proven forward. What the Penguins get is a younger Kessel who can play the LEFT side and on the power play. Plus the Panarin and the Penguins can come to terms with a contract that works for both parties and it allows the Penguins to shed a huge amount of salary in that of Maatta 4.083Mil and Pearson 3.75mil = 7,833,000 in CAP SPACE that we gain which some can be used to sign Panarin longterm and it will give us availability to pay Jake Guentzel when his contract kicks in next season and beyond. It's active and its thinking ahead.

Thread: Toronto Maple Leafs signed Auston Matthews (5 Years / $11,634,000 AAV)
Great deal for Auston Matthews! 5 years at top dollar and front loaded and after 5 seasons he gets to call the shots. Can't do any better then that. As for for Leafs organization it is actually good because it makes them have to think correctly going forward with other players and NOT sign stupid 8 year contracts. This Deal to me makes the GM and his staff and ownership have to do their jobs in ALL areas better. Organizations need to really start working their player polls more efficiently so that they can fit more talent into the Salary Cap they are allotted by the NHL. This isn't just pay the longest term and highest price and get results. This days were stupid and are disappearing. Matthews and his agent are smart because they are playing the calculated odds that the Cap will continue to rise and Auston will be producing big time. Thus garnering him another big contract in Toronto and him are both healthy and playing well. Congratulations Auston on being from Arizona in the USA and signing the biggest contract in Maple Leafs history!

Thread: Colton Parayko Traded to the Penguins
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Toddyd77</b></div><div>So Many reason why this is a bad idea. First off St Louis hangs up the phone. No where near enough compensation. Second. Cap is screwed for next year as you'd have 75mil tied up in 12 players. (This site for some reason doesn't record Guentzel's 6 mil on long term projection so i included him in the numbers.) if the cap goes to 83mil that is 8 mil to fill 8 roster spots by resigning or replacing, ZAR, Brassard, Desmith, Pettersson, Riikola, Sheahan, Bleuger, etc. a 3rd line center alone is gonna be at least 3 mil maybe more on the open market.
3rd you have over 5 million scratched between Oleksiak and Johnson.</div></div>

Yes Bud. Next year is next year. AND in addition to what I have listed we can always make more moves.
