Thread: Wild get a Centre
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ZAKILLZ</b></div><div>Yea in your dreams.... need atleast a 3rd and 5th to consider</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MoxNix</b></div><div>Calgary says if Lindholm hasn't resigned by the end of the year give us a call then but only if you're prepared to make a real offer then.</div></div>

A stud defensive penalty killer and a league leader in SHG's, TWO A-level top prospects, and a 1st isn't a *real* offer?

Minnesota needs to add?

Are you kidding me? Because you must be joking. Lindholm is great and all, but he's still a 2nd line center by most metrics. And he isn't coming either retained or with an extension here. Calgary would be hard pressed to find a better offer then this. Because it's already a clear overpay.

Maybe you might quibble that a better piece than Dewar is sent back. But I guarantee it's not that significant of an increase in value that it'll matter much, if anything.

So no, unless Lindholm is coming either retained or with an extension Minnesota isn't adding or overpaying for 1 year of Lindholm. Or for his UFA rights either.

Thread: CHI to 8 WSH to 14 PIT adds cap
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MudDog</b></div><div>Raddysh is a forward.
Why wouldn't PIT do the trade, they get rid of one of the worst contracts in the league?
For a 6 spot drop, 2 NHLers, a prospect, and a 3rd is normal.</div></div>

Just answer this. How many times since the Salary Cap was implemented was a Top 10 Pick traded in the history of the NHL? Then look at what you are proposing here and tell me if you think this pile of crap you’re offering here is enough for a Top 10 pick. If you’re trying to trade 2 players, 2 picks, and a prospect you know that you’re offering a pile of crap worth less than the pick. When Top 10 picks have been traded, they’ve been traded for ONE thing (Player), what one thing would you offer Washington to trade that pick because a pile of pieces worth less than the pick are not enough and adding a bunch of pieces to a worse pick in the teens simply never happens for Top 10 picks.

Mikael Granlund had 41PTs this season. For $5M he’s arguably overpaid but there are plenty of far, far worse contracts in the League. There’s no chance the Penguins trade a 1st to move him.
