Thread: Better PK

I disagree, upgrading from Prosvetov/Annunen/Francouz to Jones is something that'll help lighten Georgiev's work load and decreases the chance for an injury. A sub 500k backup goalie would allow for the Avs to be more agressive with other moves at the deadline. I think Jones is likely worth anywhere from a 3rd to a 5th round pick depending on the need of the acquiring team.

The Avs give up a second round pick but acquire depth picks for the deadline. A 2C is going to cost a first, a depth defender will cost a third and a depth forward will go for a late round pick. Flipping the second allows for more flexibility with trading with other teams, Instead of trying to fit all these requirements with one team.

Thread: Cost of non rentals
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mokumboi</b></div><div>I kinda doubt the Blues would move Torp, but Hayes should be eminently available and affordable. The problem is, you'd presumably need to send some cap back, and the Blues would want nothing to do with all the ones you'd want to send over (Kampf, Reaves, etc). If you want the Blues to retain half for most of three years, well the price obviously goes up. At that point, we're probably talking a 2nd/B-ish prospect. Seeing as how you apparently won't have one of the former for years to come, it would need to be a young player. Frankly, I'm not sure has the right B-ish prospect to offer in that scenario.</div></div>

What about a package involving Minten for Hayes (w/retention)? I like the Hayes fit if he's on our third line, but again I don't really know the value the Blues have attributed to Hayes so maybe I'm off base here.

Thread: Only Way a Risto trade makes sense for the Leafs
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SomeonesOffended</b></div><div>Yeah leaf’s still decline that in my opinion</div></div>

I think both teams say no, from the Flyers are still relatively competitive this season and burning a retention slot with term attached is usually a no go for rebuilding teams.

Ristolainen isn't that much of a needle mover for the Leafs , and the argument could be made that at one point he was the worst defender in the NHL.

However he's had a bit of a career renaissance with the Flyers (Nothing Crazy, but think Jack Johnson). In 2023, Ristolainen is basically Zadorov lite, where on a playoff team Ristolainen is a 5D/6D, and Zadorov being a 4D/5D.

The Leafs getting second rounders is important in faciliating other moves around the Deadline, the going rate for mid tier rentals is always going to be a second round pick.
