Thread: Lazytime3643's roster
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>lazytime3643</b></div><div><div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jgfhockey</b></div><div>The value you are sending to these other teams is not close for the player you are getting in return.</div></div>
Updated the trades. Any closer? What would you guys give?</div></div>

Closer, sure. Still not close. Lol. ANA doesn't need Prout, they're already gonna have to expose somebody good as it is. And Speers has potential, but probably not as a top 6 forward. They're gonna ask for the moon for Fowler, and whatever it is, I'm not giving it to them. Would think next year's first and a top prospect or current roster player is where they begin. No thanks.

On Eberle, the guy scores 20-25 a year, and they're only looking to trade him because he makes $6 million for another two years. That doesn't mean they're being forced to give him away. If you wanna give them a defenseman, it'll have to be better than Merrill. At least Moore or Lovejoy, and then multiple picks (think 2nd's and 3rd's, not 4th's+).

Thread: NYR 2017-2018 Opening Night Roster

As an overall player, sure, he brings more to the table. For almost $8 million per year, though, you have to score. You can pay 3 separate guys $8 million combined to kill penalties and "lead."

Bottom line is that neither team is in a position to take on salary, so I don't see the point.</div></div>

Neither of them are worth their contracts, but Nash's might be more appealing to NYR because it expires sooner. Thats the point i'm trying to make.</div></div>

We agree on that. But I think Edmonton can get better value for Eberle, whether it's draft picks, or a young defenseman with term at a reasonable cost. Something that they can reap the benefits of in the long term. I don't think one year of Rick Nash (producing less than Eberle) and the cap space that opens up afterwards is sufficient.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jeffwitz97</b></div><div>Nash&gt;Eberle. At putting the puck in the net, perhaps Eberle is now a bit better, though its certainly debatable. However, Nash can play in all three zones, kill penalties, and is a leader. Nash's contract also expires after the year which is honestly advantageous to have versus the Eberle contract. The Rangers couldn't take on Eberle's contract because it then occupies any cap space needed to resign Skjei/Hayes/Miller/Vesey after the 17/18 year.</div></div>
