Gotta have that 5th round pick!

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mcgruff16</b></div><div>100% w/ your defense comment. What was the rumored price for NJD? I didn't catch that at the TDL.</div></div>

I believe they had agreed on something along the lines of 1st + Holtz and Calgary ownership killed the deal, demanded Mercer in the return, and NJD never pulled the trigger.

Thread: Big trades

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mcgruff16</b></div><div>I would hope not, but it's just a little CYA. In the meantime, STL likely has both Elmer and Wallinder playing in the NHL; they're not far away. Plus I already traded the 24 to Calgary in this scenario and didn't want to skip the 1st round two years in a row.</div></div>

I understand all your reasoning and it's unimpeachable, and if Buch was on the block, okay, sure. But he's not, they prefer to keep him. The Blues are not going to waste a chunk of value in a Buch trade on a 1st pushed off so long. They'd probably take your 24 2nd over a 26 1st.

Thread: another crack at next year

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mcgruff16</b></div><div>What do you think VGK will do this offseason? I can't see them not trying to re-sign at least Hanifan and they're going to have serious cap issues.</div></div>

VGK probably end up moving a defenseman. They have a lot of quality Dmen, so one of Theodore, Mcnabb, Hague or Whitecloud would be my thought. Theodore makes the most and would be my guess at who they look to move because he only has 1 year left on his deal.

Thread: Looking towards next year

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mcgruff16</b></div><div>I feel the same way about Karlsson but I'm looking at VGK as a good target since they'll really need to offload a contract or two. Roy (VGK's Roy) is a better contract but less likely for them to unload I think.</div></div>

I don't hate the idea of Karlsson but that makes bringing back Kane and upgrading the defense quite a bit more difficult.

Thread: Looking towards next year

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mcgruff16</b></div><div>That's a good point w/ Maata, I guess I was looking at taking 2 years of Murphy in a position of need as the cost/benefit of getting rid of one year of Fabbri who is very replaceable. I just can't believe how bad Holl and Petry are every time I watch them, it's brutal.</div></div>

Honestly Holl's brutal but I'll take him over Petry 10 out of 10 times. Like, yeah, last night was the worst case scenario, but it's stuff he's been ****ing up all year.

I totally agree with trading Fabbri. I think Berggren's a way cheaper option. With Murphy though, I feel like you're replacing a bad D with a more expensive, "Meh" D. I'd just pay Roy, throw Chiarot on 3RD and ride his contract out.

And then AlJo or Wallinder slots into Maatta's spot after next year.

-Draft picks…. Overlooked
-Trades…. Overlooked
-New additions scoring at higher rate than most NHL teams… Overlooked
-Record going up each season and an overachieving team in the wild card hunt before their prospects make an impact…. Overlooked

But yes focus on the three signings that didn’t work out and have so far not hurt the team. Those three are definitely overshadowing all of the other stuff lol

Thread: Most likely TDL

trust Yzerman, OTT was 2+ year ahead of the rebuild compared to DET and look at how it is now. OTT is a joke and DET is in the playoffs. Either OTT has such crap GMS/coaching/ownership that is record setting or Yzermans plan is working

i like the Fabbri trade, ik he is a fan favorite, thats a spot that Berggren can fill easily and less injury prone

Forum: Armchair-GMFeb. 29 at 5:01 p.m.

Thread: Go for a deep run why not

I’d say no. Fabbri has come back to life since returning from his 1,756th injury but not worth the risk.

Indeed I did. :tearsofjoy

The value stinks. Adding a bunch of pieces that have zero worth to Calgary doesn't help.

You are probably close(ish) but still short on Hanifin's value but really missed the mark on Andersson.

Thread: Lines and OVERREACTIONS after 6 PS games Round 3

Big fan of the Ras-Compher-Perron line. They've been smoking hot in the preseason. And all Sprong does is score a goal a night playing 12 minutes.

Velano;s #1 C tonight with Danielson #2 against Toronto's big 4. See how they handle that type of pressure.

People are going have to 15 years prove/disprove your theory. There was a reaction among "experts" that he was a big reach at # 9 last season.

Dude was a stud. Granted, in pre-season, however he's a 19 y/o tearing up games against at least AHL-level guys. Ill admit I wanted Benson or Dvorsky more at the draft, but I'm far more happy with the pick now than I was at the time.

As a Hawks fan I was shocked you guys took him at #9, and also thought he looked really good in the 2 DRW preseason games I've seen.

Thread: 3 way action

Doesn’t make sense for CAR to include Kooch in that deal. At that retention the value is probably in the ballpark but I think you swap Kooch with a lesser prospect - somebody like Drury makes a lot of sense.

Thread: Playoffs beaches

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mcgruff16</b></div><div>7th, 9th close enough, but touché, you too are an NHL nerd. I don't know anything about Coughlan or Chatfield, but I assumed that one of them would be on the roster. So I guess we'll see what happens. At this point I doubt Yzerman is making any big moves, he's just treading water until our young guys are ready, but I'm impatient.</div></div>

Chatfield could be, but he doesn't really do much. Coghlan doesn't have a contract and seemed out of favor last year, falling behind de Haan and eventually Gostisbehere. At this point, if a D man is going to move, my guess is Skjei.

Nice wish but no.

TDA is going to Carolina one way or another. If we get Cat for that, Dorion is gone. Chiasson is moving on. Less than zero percent chance on that Calgary trade. Go Wings
