Thread: Colefield
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>gordfish</b></div><div>So Carolina's problems are that they are thin at centre, don't have a goaltender that can win them games and can't offer anything better than Brent Burns at the number one D spot.

And your answer is to offer sheet Cole Caulfield?

Do you like getting swept in the ECF every second year?</div></div>

Canes are not thin at centre at all, not to sure where you got that from. J staal needs to get resigned - one of the better defensive centres in the league. KK is an amazing centre and took crazy strides in the 2nd half of the season, and then the Obvious AHO.

Where are you pulling this from? Brent Burns is great and is also paired with one of the best defensive Dmen in the league. one of the best top 4 d core in the league.

Goaltending is hit or miss, but ALSO better than half the teams in the league.

Yes I love going far in the playoffs. How about you?

Thread: Settle Down
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CapFriendlysFinest</b></div><div>Why would the Flyers want to trade him? That's the better question. Hayes just got his first all-star appearance and has 48 points in 60 games. He's a locker room guy and everyone on the teams loves him. He realistically could even be the next captain for the Flyers. I don't think the Flyers are even considering moving him, their entire focus should be fixing that horrendous defence.

I am not saying I also know Hayes exact value, but in the history of the NHL, no team has ever retained that much money for that long. Most money that I can personally think of over more than a year was Kessel when the Leafs retained 1.2 million for 4 years. In that deal, Leafs got a first and a former first rounder from the previous year in Kapanen. Pretty much two 1st rounders for Kessel and 1.2 million in retained salary for 4 years.

Asking for nearly triple the salary retention for less value than the Kessel deal makes no sense.</div></div>

One right off the top of my head. San Jose is paying Burns almost 3m for 3 more years.
