Thread: throw my hat into this one
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>dannibalcorpse</b></div><div>I could see Arizona being hesitant on retaining on Chych, if only because they're already dedicating one of their three retention slots to the retention they did on OEL's trade to Vancouver - this team is assumedly going to be signing guys to one year deals and flipping them at the deadline, so retention slots are important to have open. I think it if it was 1st/2nd/Niemela they'd take back more bad cap instead of retaining - not sure who else you'd throw in the pile with Engvall but I'd think that's the more likely pathway than retaining on Chych for 2 more years after this.</div></div>

hmm that makes sense i always forget about the retention limits teams have
i also prefer shipping kerfoot instead of engvall with the extra salary gone the team can have a larger active roster
i feel like engvall is better defensively than kerfoot
and neither produce enough for me to feel bad about them going anyway.
also based on what i saw above chychrun is apparently injury prone but looking at his injury history it only looks like hes really been injured twice? am i missing something?

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>dannibalcorpse</b></div><div>Arizona accepts before you have a chance to reconsider - this is a crazy overpay. I'd assume at this point a 1st/prospect/young roster player is a good base to build off of, with maybe throwing in an extra 2nd or 3rd if you want to use the '24 1st instead of this year's. Something like a '24 1st/Toronto's '23 3rd/Niemela/Engvall probably gets it done. I don't think you need to throw in Knies, and you definitely don't need to throw in Knies and a pair of 1sts at this point.

I'd also argue - how vital is Chych to the Leafs at this point? When everyone's healthy, I assume you're rolling with Rielly/Brodie, Gio/Liljegren, and Sandin/Holl, with Jordie Benn as your 7th D. Not saying Chych doesn't make that group better, but even the revised package is a huge price to pay for a pretty deep group already. Wouldn't it make more sense to target a pending UFA veteran like Dmitry Kulikov/Trevor van Riemsdyk/Justin Braun to just give you more depth at a fraction of the price? Toronto's a top-5 defensive team as it is right now - I don't see a huge need to devote so many assets to strengthening a strength, ya know?</div></div>

hmm okay 1st 3rd niemela i would be pretty okay with that
the part of chychrun i really enjoy is the 3 years at a good price for a good dman
i like holl alot
but the idea of having the entire dcore locked up for both this and next year without worry is appealing
ive been out of the loop on ol chychrun so i basically just ran with the price i last remembered
whats the over under on them retaining salary if i went 1st 2nd and topi instead of a 1st 3rd and topi do ya think

Thread: Coyotes Off-Season
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>larter232</b></div><div>solid 3rd liner hes played 21 ****ing games in the nhl hes not even a 4th liner let alone a solid 3rd liner
lets not even get into the fact that he was a 3rd liner on the ****ing yotes
whos top line wouldnt be most teams 3rd line

this random nobody with 21 games played and a stupid ass pick in the draft in the same post where you said they are in win now mode
you ship am almost certainly worthless pick for years and a nobody 5th liner
its insultingly bad
its unbelievably bad i thought that a bruins fan or a habs fan might have put this together</div></div>

like can you even imagine the phone call
"hey i heard you got this mrazek guy you wanna get rid of
give us your best prospect and we will give you ****ing nothing and we will take him off your hands for ya"

Thread: Canucks go for Bedard
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TooMalevolent</b></div><div>The 1st trade is just nonsense. A 30 year old guy im who had a career year is not going to get you two 1st Rd picks and 2 guys picked in the 1st round. It's wild how bad this is.

I don't really hate the Leafs trade. I think you have the thinking on what it would cost to dump the contracts wrong. It's max a 2nd. It's not remotely similar to the Marleau situation. So the 1st and prospects are alot to give up, but having a player like Garland at that deal would be hard to pass up.</div></div>

doesnt help the deal that holl is an actual good defender who wouldnt be a cost to get rid of
at best the deal is a first and robertson
to save the 1 million just buying mrazek out would get you

i can understand how 1 might think holl is bad with how often leafs fans complain about him
but this trade is deceptively bad for the leafs

conor garland has only been at best 20% better than kerfoot over the last 2 seasons
and i wouldnt trade a 1st and 2 prospects to get kerfoot and dump 1 million in cap
