ARMCHAIR-GM TEAMS

Forum: NHL2 hours ago

Thread: Will Toronto Make the Playoffs This Season?

I think they do. While coaching changes don't always work out, I really think this one is going to help immensely. This is a team Kyle Dubas has built to be coached by Sheldon Keefe. He's a forward thinking coach who can utilize all the skill on this team. That was never Babcock's style, and as the young stars became leaders, they needed a new voice. Getting back to full health will be huge for them too. I can easily see this team catching fire and getting 16 or 17 wins during a 20 game stretch, and it'll feel like ages ago we were talking about the Leafs potentially missing the playoffs.

Thread: Calgary fans

I don't really see why the Caps would do this. I don't see anything in Sam Bennett, and Panik hasn't really had the time to settle in with the Caps.

Thread: Johnny G comes home

I think if the Flyers came with this offer, the Flames would have to take it. I think Farabee is going to be great, and Gostisbehere gives them an upgrade over Hamonic for next year and beyond. The first round pick helps for a very thin system. Yes from Calgary

Thread: Something Ive been thinking about for awhile Pittsburgh fans

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BeastModeUnknown</b></div><div>So something like Pietrangelo, Parayko, and like 2 firsts is the type of deal they want like he is untouchable.</div></div>

They'd probably be looking for a "hockey deal" if they were to move him right now. They obviously saw things they like with him since they traded for him, and he hasn't really been able to showcase any of that yet due to injuries. They probably just hold off for now until they know what he can be with them

Thread: Something Ive been thinking about for awhile Pittsburgh fans

Although Galchenyuk's hurt right now, that seems like an undersell on him. None of the three players are anything more than depth, and the 2nd probably doesn't sway a team trying to win into moving a pending UFA

Thread: Sharks are missing the playoffs

They can't keep pucks out of their own net and their SH% is low. Not sure if the goaltending will get substantially better, but the shooting percentages should go up as time goes on. The Pacific is pretty jumbled, and one hot streak is all they need to get right back in it. But the odds are stacked against them, given the history of teams being more than seven points out of a playoff spot after a month.

Thread: Pretend to be Kyle Dubas, what do you do in this scenario?

Right before July 1, 2018, the Capitals resigned John Carlson to an 8 year, $64M contract. Let's just pretend that he had hit the open market, and the Leafs could've opted to sign Carlson instead of Tavares. Because it's the open market, Carlson would get considerably more than he did in DC, so let's just say he signs for a $9.5M AAV over 7 years. If you're Kyle Dubas, which do you sign? Also, don't account for Carlson's incredible start to the season. Think back to the reputation Carlson had back in 2018, which was a legit #1 defenseman that would probably be hovering around 5th-7th place in the Norris voting. I'm curious as to what the responses are.

I'd think most of the Leaf haters will go with Carlson and most of the crazy biased Leaf fans will choose Tavares, but I'm curious as to what the reasonable Toronto fans and non Toronto haters would choose. It would certainly change the team outlook, with the Kadri trade most likely never happening and needing to find a 3C solution.

Thread: Benn Hall Suter

That's a hard pass from the Devils. If Hall is coming with an extension, he's fetching a bigger return than that. At the very least, the pick gets bumped up to 2020 and adding another pick/prospect.

Thread: If every team’s players were in their prime, who would be the best team?

If we're including players who haven't hit their primes yet, I'm going with Chicago or Tampa. Kane, Toews, Keith, Seabrook, Saad and Crawford all playing at their old peaks, plus Debrincat, Strome, Dach and Kubalik all fully developed is scary. Pittsburgh would be pretty interesting, with Sid, Geno, Hornqvist, Letang, Schultz and Jack Johnson all turning back the clock (and JJ would actually be solid).

Thread: Drew Doughty

He's definitely got the resume to get into the Hall of Fame, but I just don't think his individual play warrants it. He's a guy who belongs in the Hall of Very Good, not the Hall of Fame.

Thread: New Jersey Devils signed Nico Hischier (7 Years / $7,250,000 AAV)

Strength down the middle wins games. Hischier should be their 2C long term, and one of the best 2Cs once him and Hughes are in their primes. Locking up Hischier at this rate for the long haul makes the most sense, and I love the deal. It should be a good deal in a few years.

Thread: (ARI / CHI) - Schmaltz for Perlini, Strome

A healthy Nick Schmaltz to start the year has been huge for the Coyotes. There's a clear vision for how Chayka and Tocchet want this team to play, and Chayka has moved out a lot of the guys who he didn't personally acquire to get that. Schmaltz is a great fit playing either center or wing for the Yotes and he's been very productive offensively to start. Strome was never going to do that in Arizona. Both teams are happy with this deal
