Thread: New Jersey Devils signed Jack Hughes (8 Years / $8,000,000 AAV)

He's going to explode for 100+ points in the next year or two and he'll be drastically underpaid. The Devils are basically doing what the Coyotes did with their young players (signing them to long term extensions hoping that they're under market value during their window) except these guys are actually worth it.

Mike Richards is a great one, I totally forgot about him.

Chara, Michael Nylander, Kovalchuk, Shattenkirk, Burakovsky, Jose Theodore, Tomas Vokoun, etc.

You think it would cost a first to move out the $2M AAV of Kyle Turris? No way. He could just get waived and buried for a portion of it relieved. That's insanity.

Thread: If ever fully healthy and a trade

This only makes sense if Holtby is going to start in the playoffs. If not, then we keep Vanecek and either re-sign him or deal him for a similar price to what we paid.

Thread: Seattle Takes a Krak at Kane

I think the best case scenario here is that Kane gets some of his juju back and the Kraken have another asset to sell off for picks/prospects. I think it's a worthwhile price to pay for that gamble.

Thread: Sell The Mall - 2022 Cup or Bust

The value of the trades can be debated all we want, but I love the idea of going all in. The Forsberg and Miller additions would be massive. I also love adding Carter if Pittsburgh falls out.

How are you figuring out the cap situation when Mrazek comes back?

Thread: Trade Deadline and Next Year

I don't think giving up Lapierre is in the cards for us. We'd be more inclined to give up another first than him, the organization is super high on him and he showed a lot of potential in his short showing this year.

Thread: Benning gone canucks retool

You've got to get more for Miller than that. I love Addison, but that's just not enough

Thread: Miller name and send the dumps

What's the obsession with scratching Sprong? He generates more offense than he gets credit for, I'd rather have him in than Namestnikov

Forum: Armchair-GMSat at 3:09 pm

Thread: 2022 Offseason

I wouldn't deal Muzzin. I know this is a cliche, but a physical defensive defenseman like him is needed to win in the playoffs. An inconsistent start to the year doesn't make me think you dump him. It's a tough situation to be in with Sandin ready for a bigger role though

Thread: ELC Support Campbell contract Finally a third line

What are you offering the Coyotes to take what is an obvious cap dump?

Forum: Armchair-GMThu at 10:48 pm

Thread: The Kids are Alright

This is something I’d do in the offseason, but not now. I’d only move on from those guys if we want to make a bigger move with the money

Forum: Armchair-GMNov 23 at 3:23

Thread: Sergachev at the draft

That's a fascinating trade idea and I applaud the creativity. The Kings should totally jump on something like this, but I'm not positive on the Tampa side of it. There might be better ways to free up money and bolster the forward group, but it's definitely something that makes sense in theory. Stick taps for a new, creative idea.

Forum: Armchair-GMNov 23 at 3:19

Thread: Deadline Cup Push

I love Pavelski and I think it'd be sick to see him with the Caps. But the only way I see us doing something like that is if we're worried about Backstrom and want someone that can play the 2C role if Backy's not at full health down the stretch. I'm also not overly fond of scratching Sprong, I think his speed and shot will be a boost of offense that we need during the playoffs, especially given the instant chemistry he showed with Mantha at the beginning of the season.

I'd also advise against trading Eller until the offseason. He's one of the better 3Cs in the NHL and I'd rather have McMichael on the wing in Sheary's spot and have Eller centering that line.

Thread: Playoff performers

Dallas takes that in a heartbeat, Penguins decline. If their plan is to rebuild and they're okay to move Guentzel, it's got to come with Amirov.

Forum: Armchair-GMNov 19 at 12:06

Thread: Fixing the Canucks

I like the idea of Demelo, but I don't think Winnipeg would move him given that they're also trying to win. I'd also be weary of giving Copp that contract. If you can get him for around $1M less, I think it's a fine deal. I'd just be hesitant to dedicate all that cap space to your 3C. I know he's had an awesome start to the year, but I'd wait to see if it's sustainable

Thread: Going all in for a cup

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>DogDayCaps2</b></div><div>Interesting bc Samsonov is either dog water or great. Vanecek is consistently solid. I’d take consistency over a guy that plays well every other game. Samsonov is talented but lacks any type of drive. Guys like that aren’t winners and probably never will be.</div></div>

I don’t think Vanecek can play at a Cup winning level. Samsonov has the raw talent to do so and looked spectacular in the three games he got against Boston last year. I’d roll the dice with him

Forum: Armchair-GMNov 18 at 3:34

Thread: Going all in for a cup

Going all in for the Cup means getting consistent goaltending. That would be priority one over anything else. I'd sooner roll the dice on Samsonov taking us to a Cup than Greiss or Vanecek.

Thread: hawks

Can't lock yourself in to that Johnson deal if he's going to be on the fourth line. There are other options to fill a similar role that don't cost $3.5M

Thread: Deadline Targets

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>capsfan2121</b></div><div>Or we could for ghost half retained</div></div>

We need more of a defensive minded player. Given that we've got Carlson, Fehervary, Schultz and Jensen that are all jumping up in the play a lot, plus Orlov has been going more the last few games. I'd rather get a stay at home guy that isn't going to get caught out of position and lead to odd man chances against.

Thread: Deadline Targets

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>DogDayCaps2</b></div><div>They need to shed cap and we could give them an affordable replacement like chow</div></div>

I'd bet that they find other ways to shed cap. Reilly Smith for similar dollars is much more expendable, that's probably who'd they'd get rid of first
