Thread: Do Pens Make A Draft Day Trade? (Skinner, Lindholm?)

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Bflo_Soldier</b></div><div>Skinner/O'Reilly</div></div>

In what universe does a 7.5M third line center make sense for them? Especially since they just trade a first and arguably their top prospect for Brassard?

Attention GMs — please use the “Create Player” function on your team pages for ALL RFA and UFA signings. This is so when these players sign IRL, the IRL cap figures don’t mess up the game. Thank you

Thread: Washington Capitals signed John Carlson (8 Years / $8,000,000 AAV)

He sure as hell earned this payday this season. I’m worried that he’ll regress to being the $6M defenseman he was before this season, but I’m feeling that he can be a true #1 defenseman for around 5 or 6 years of this deal. Even if this is a career year for him (which I’d expect it is), I’d rather have my #1 defenseman locked up long term.

We now have at least two years of control for all of Ovechkin, Backstrom, Kuznetsov, Oshie, Eller, Vrana, Wilson, Burakovsky, Orlov, Carlson, Niskanen, Djoos and Holtby. The core is intact and it’s clear we are going to try and win while we have the guys to do so. Whatever cap issues will come later, they clearly play second fiddle to winning in our window.

Thread: (CGY / CAR) - Hanifin, Lindholm for Hamilton, Fox, Ferland

This is a massive trade in terms of the talent being moved, but does it really make either team a lot better? I don’t see it that way. It’s a nice winger for the Flames to get in Lindholm, but now there’s three LHDs in Calgary. Hamilton is a great add, but it basically says Faulk should be traded due to a surplus of RHDs. Sort of a lateral move at best for each team, I don’t see a lot of point in it from either side

Thread: Second Round

I can’t believe the Caps passed on both Wilde and Thomas, specifically Thomas. I like Alexeyev and I think he’ll be a good top four guy, but we needed a forward IMO. Our left side has Orlov, Djoos, Johansen, Siegenthaler and Geisser available long term, and the right has Carlson, Bowey, Niskanen and Hobbs. Wilde would’ve been a better pick to replace Niskanen in the future, but this team needs a forward.

With Backstrom, Oshie and Ovechkin all starting to get up there in age, grabbing a forward to play either center or wing with top 20 talent seems like a dream come true. These guys know what they’re doing, but it looks like a mistake to pass on Wilde or Thomas.

Thread: (WSH / COL) - 2018 2nd round pick for Grubauer, Orpik

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>HawksFan28</b></div><div>I told people Grubauer wasn't getting a first round pick. A 2nd round pick? yes but a first round pick - no.</div></div>

Grubauer alone could’ve gotten a first. If you told me we were packaging him with Orpik, a second sounds right. We needed to clear cap space for Carlson, that was a widely known fact. Hence the trade for a lesser pick involving Orpik, so we can bring Carlson back and still get something for Grub.

Thread: (WSH / COL) - 2018 2nd round pick for Grubauer, Orpik

But seriously, it works for both sides. Colorado takes advantage of the cap space and gets Grubauer, their future in net. Orpik should be bought out or traded again too. Caps get cap space for Carlson and a pick to bring in another solid prospect.

Thread: 2018-19 GM Game - Mock Draft Challenge

Attention GMs - the BOG will be conducting a 2018 NHL Mock Draft Challenge. In order to enter, each GM or AGM makes a first round mock draft on CF and posts the link in this thread. All mock drafts must be posted before 7:00 PM EST (the start of the draft) or they are invalid. The winning mock will have correctly picked the most amount of selections.

The winner of the contest receives a compensation draft pick at the end of the 7th round in the 2019 draft. Direct any questions to the members of the BOG (<a href="/users/Icegirl" target="_blank">@Icegirl</a> <a href="/users/flamesfan419" target="_blank">@flamesfan419</a> <a href="/users/krakowitz" target="_blank">@krakowitz</a>) or <a href="/users/TheCommissioner" target="_blank">@TheCommissioner</a>. Good luck to all!
