Thread: NYR-VGK
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Widowmaker</b></div><div>I think any team in the league would trade a first round pick for a 70 point player, especially a first round pick that is 3 years away. If he scores 70, we probably had a great season and it’s a lower pick anyway, well worth it. Kevin Hayes got us a first round pick and a prospect and he’s never even sniffed 70 points.

I also think the first condition is to prevent us from trading him back to the West where Vegas would have to deal with him. Which isn’t likely given our circumstances and intention to be a competitor in the next couple years.</div></div>

The problem here though is that NYR isn’t shedding any potential salary either. I know that VGK are up against the cap, but so is NYR. Adding another RFA in Gusev to the fold means Kreider is done in Manhattan. This is fine, but NYR still needs to deal with Strome, Namestnikov, Buch, DeA, and Lemieux.

Thread: Rebuild complete start of dynasty
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Sagecoll</b></div><div>yeah you're extrapolating incorrectly here. It's the top 2 talent. Hughes and Kakko are very good. As I said there is a significant drop off here. The 2nd best dman in this draft (take your pick of York, Heinola, Broberg, Harley, etc) is as good as the 10th ranked dman this year - inferior to Hughes, Boqvist, Dobson, Smith, Bouchard, Smith, Merkley and Miller.

The 3rd pick (I'd probably say Turcotte) - is inferior to Tkachuk, Kravtsov, Zadina, Kotkaniemi, Wahlstrom and Kupari in their draft year. And the depth isn't any better as you get deeper into the 2nd. Guys like Veleno and Bokk who lasted until the 20's last year would be top 10 locks this year.

The draft you're talking about I believe, is next year.

The draft class being arguably “worse” than last years *doesnt make it a bad draft class*

Thread: Fire up the Tank
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>palhal</b></div><div>Gotta think the only way Marleau is traded...is if he retires, then has cap can be traded with a sweetener. Leafs need cap space, just don't think they can do a lateral trade for any Dman. They need to shed cap by trading a big cap for futures, and hope their current Dmen can hold up this year or sign a very cheap one year veteran.
Longer term the Leafs might OK on defence with their young prospects but 2019/20 is going to be a problem.</div></div>

Don’t get me wrong I’m well aware. The leafs have major cap problems to solve. I’m just saying none of that matters for this particular trade if Marleau doesn’t waive his NTC. I’d love for the rangers to make a deal like this, it just likely won’t happen with Marleau and the leafs.
