<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jimbo1119</b></div><div>I agree with the logic regarding tempering expectations- but do realize that your logic is to be applied to all 5 forwards- and Fox- who are on ELCs but don’t require waivers to go to Hartford...I just don’t think Krav goes- I think either Lias or Howden will be the guy starting in Hartford- unless a trade is made or Lemieux isn’t signed</div></div>

Sure but it still remains that if one of Chytil, Lias, or Howden disappoint they will still have the upper hand having played under Quinn in the NHL. Kravtsov is a sick prospect, don't misunderstand where I'm coming from, I simply believe that if all 5 of the forwards you are mentioning have mediocre showings in training camp then the guys with prior experience with Quinn will win out. That is my opinion.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Sagecoll</b></div><div>I thought the 1st trade was pretty terrible....

And then I read the 2nd.</div></div>

Explain what is so terrible about the first? Perhaps on the second I may be overvaluing Lindgren but the first is a trade that makes sense on both sides. Columbus is loaded with cap space and take a chance inserting a two way forward who has shown in the past he can score at a high rate in a top six role, not to mention they add a 3rd round pick for the expense of absorbing his 4mil cap hit (which is for one season). Pretty low risk for them. As for the rangers they acquire a former first round pick who to this point looks to be a bust. Columbus has to be reaching their breaking point with him after his off ice issues continuing into this summer (<a href="https://nypost.com/2019/07/07/nhl-players-a-j-greer-sonny-milano-arrested-in-nyc-brawl/" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">https://nypost.com/2019/07/07/nhl-players-a-j-greer-sonny-milano-arrested-in-nyc-brawl/</a>).

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NYR_DAN_77</b></div><div>in detail what is "turrible"?</div></div>

Well for starters this isn't NHL 19, but then again I doubt these would go thru there either.

I'll go trade by trade to make things easier.

1. Selling too low on Buchnevich, didn't have the best year but still had a very strong finish. Rags are still looking at a potential 60 point player here would be foolish to settle for a 2nd round pick at this stage.

2. You do realize Vegas is in the worst cap situation in the league right? They can't afford to take on any contracts let alone both Vlad AND Smith. Nor is this in anyway equal value. Gusev is by far the best player in this deal and while he is a bit of an unknown this trade makes 0 sense for Vegas. This may be your worst but i'll come back.

3. Why would the rags retain salary if they are only getting a 4th rounder in return? And also giving up Nieves? Terrible. Shattenkirk has not been as bad as many of the folks on here like to think. In a lesser role with more emphasis on PP ice time, he'll have a much better season. Could be flipped to a contender at the next two deadlines for a much better package.

4. Just not enough for Kreider. Return's gotta be more. A start for Kreider is a 1st, 3rd, and young roster player or GOOD prospect.

5. Vancouver easily declines. Horvat is a great two way center on a good deal. Hank doesn't line up with Vancouver's window.

6. Cmon now. Even you know how absurd this one is.

7. Quantity doesn't equal quality.

8. If the pick included was like a 2nd or 3rd then maybe? Idk I don't see the point here for MTL.

9. Yea I guess they not all turrible. You can argue for this one.

Overall, not the best i've seen on this lil forum. Better luck next time!
