Thread: Detroit should sign Kane
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GhostGM92</b></div><div>I don't see Lucas Raymond or Jonatan Berggren being on the first powerplay as is but especially if they sign Kane. I would keep Rasmussen with Copp and Perron as that was a really good line for them. Rasmussen is better than both based on last season. You need some balance to your lines too. I don't think they sign Kane and they probably keep Raymond on the first line. Jonatan Berggren will probably start in Grand Rapids. He's not good enough to make the top six and he's not a bottom six style of player. And he's on a two way contract. Don't forget Jonatan Berggren and Lucas Raymond are in contract years too.</div></div>


The balance goes out the window if Detroit signs Kane. I tried to justify it by looking at Tampa last year. They played an all offence line 5on5 with Stamkos-Point-Kucherov. Maybe Detroit can do something similair because neither Kane or Debrincat backchecks.

Thread: Detroit should sign Kane
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>AlTintin1122</b></div><div>Kane isn’t interested in missing the playoffs</div></div>

Well, I dont think he want to be a 3rd-liner and play defence either. He is going to be the main man on the powerplay and a 1st-line player in Detroit. I dont think any other team who is fighting for a playoff spot can offer him that role. He is going to get paid and have a good year and if teams are interested at TDL, then Yzerman should let him leave. Its a win-win.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>drambui</b></div><div>really depends if he cares about money or not.</div></div>

I think most do, but for me, its more about what role you offering Kane. If your club isnt a dumpster-fire, I think it could be done

Thread: only way to get rid of Petry
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>HulkVader</b></div><div>Chicago is one of the teams that worries less about cash than cap. Huge market, they’re very profitable and will continue to sell loads of tickets now with Bedard in the fold. Fit does matter, but a guy like Bedard accelerates a rebuild. At any rate, Chicago isn’t going to volunteer to take Petry, that much is certain. I just wouldn’t deal a first for it. If my only choices were deal a first to dump Petry or walk away from Karlsson, I’m walking away, especially considering they’ll have to deal another first to get EK.</div></div>

How serious are PIT really? Do they want to go for it while Sid(36), Geno (36) and Letang (36) are still playing or no? If you hold on to Petry, you waste 1 or 2 years. Hawks would do PIT a favour for taking a 1st for Petry. Im not even sure if PIT makes the playoffs with the current roster. I thought they were going all in to win the cup, not for making the playoffs and be happy

Thread: only way to get rid of Petry
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>OldNYIfan</b></div><div>Sharks don't "want to make a deal," they'd <strong>like</strong> to make a deal if it gives them sufficient future benefits to justify giving up Erik Karlsson. There's a subtle but definitive difference between the two motivations. But the entire Karlsson situation has been the usual victim of "info creep": what has gone from Mike Grier acknowledging that it might be in San Jose's interest to trade him now, and Erik Karlsson's acknowledgment that he might be open to being traded to a destination of his approval, has morphed into a perception that Karlsson has "demanded" a trade and that the Sharks have now got to trade him.</div></div>

Karlsson is a Norris trophy winner and 33 years old with 4 years remaining on his contract. 1 year ago nobody would touch Karlsson even with retention. The value will never be higher than what it is now. San jose is a small market who doesnt generate much money now that they are in a rebuild. Keeping Karlsson doesnt make sense for what Sharks want to do. They want to tank and save as much money as possible. Every GM knows this and maybe thats why Grier havent dealt him yet.

Thread: fixes need for both teams
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>IDKtbh</b></div><div>Drury would cream his pants if he was able to parlay Lafreniere into Berggren &amp; Rasmussen.

Detroit declines quite easily.

Lafreniere also hasn’t proved he’s worth 4 years at $4.75m.



Rangers can keep him and hope he scores more than 14 goals this year.</div></div>


I dont think Rasmussen have the intelligence to play with top6 forwards like a Bertuzzi, Palat and even Bunting. I see Rasmussen as a career 3rd liner and if Berggren needs to be sheltered 5on5, I would package them for a former 1st overall who got most of his points 5on5 ever since he got there. Laf would score 30+ goals playing on PP1 and on the top line with Larkin &amp; Raymond. Rasmussen can be replaced by Soderblom
