Thread: Deadline moves
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jimmyjets</b></div><div>Avs or the Blues are probably realistic options. I wouldn't be surprised if the Jets asked him where he wanted to go and tried to facilitate that. I think both those teams would welcome him back with open arms. Anyhow, the point is we trade him for a 2nd somewhere.

I just think that there will be some team out there that is willing to give a 7th for Beau. We've done it a fair amount when we make the playoffs just in case you get down to that 8th or 9th Dman.

I don't really know that much about Tippett but thought that as a former #10OA pick the Panthers would want more than Stanley. I view them as needing the Left D and then giving Vesa to backfill for Tippett. Maybe we could get another asset out of that trade but I'm not sure what that would be. Sourdif?</div></div>

I think the Tippett trade looks just fine. He’s had a bit of an up and down year looking great but also not playing some games.

Would be nice to ship stastny to the Avs. Gives him a real chance at winning.

Thread: Trolling the canes
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jimmyjets</b></div><div>Yeah bro, as a neutral fan here that is a classic quantity for quality deal and no team is going to retain salary for 5 years, nevermind that you're asking them to do it to get Eichel to be a $6.1M player and probably the best value contract in the league.

Guhle and the 3 - 1sts probably satisfies the asking price but Kulak, Lehk, 2nd &amp; 3rd doesn't get you $3.9 retained for 5 years... so the initial premise of the trade falls apart because you won't be able to get a better player for $6.1M, nevermind a better C.

Habs are in a real tough spot here from where I sit. Let a team swoop in and take your lunch money or sign a really rich contract that with the qualifying offers will walk the player right to UFA. Plus if they match that puts Suzuki and then Caulfield at risk of being offersheeted too.</div></div>

Yeah, that's exactly what I'm saying. Even though there are too many pieces that don't spike Buffalo's interest, value-wise it's fair (if you don't take into account that retention, obviously). Just looking at value, this trade is OK, it just has a few million too much retention

Thread: explaining the 2022 lineup
Perfetti wouldn't be a good fit with the two stonehands at all, I have major doubts that Perfetti makes the team this year, let him play in a lower league and put some weight on, no point in rushing him.
Vesalainen probably gets put with Lowry and Copp, don't know if that's a good fit for him either but that's likely where he ends up.
Wheel will remain on the top line, Maurice isn't changing that line unless injuries happen or they really struggle, even if they struggle Maurice will likely keep them together and make some excuses for it.

Gotta think Schmidt will be on the top pair with Morrissey and DeMelo will be paired with Stanley on the third D pair.
Stastny will be 2LW with PLD and Ehlers.
The 4th line will likely be Toninato or Gustafsson with Nash and Harkins.
It's unbelievable that Heinola appears to be the odd man out on this defense, he won't be happy going down to the Moose or being the #7 dman.
