<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>J_Sand3rs</b></div><div>Lucic for Eriksson is about as lateral a move as possible, and Edmonton is giving up Puljujarvi. No, he's not the valuable 4th overall pick he was drafted to be, but the kid is still only 20 years old. I can't see Edmonton doing a trade like this without getting something of value in return.</div></div>

On the surface Lucic for Eriksson is a lateral move but when you examine their contract's, Eriksson is more tradeable than Lucic. Lucic has an extra year and an NMC throughout the entirety of his contract which means he will likely require protection in the Seattle expansion draft. Edmonton would not have to protect Eriksson and would be able to move him (after paying his signing bonus) to a team that is looking to reach the cap floor without spending too much real $$$. Essentially, Edmonton is trading a bad contract and JP for a better contract which would be easier to move.

Thread: What To Do With Quinn Hughes

(which is after next season anyway) Hughes will be exempt. I’m also not sure why he is’t eligable for the entry level slide. He will not turn 20 till October.</div></div>

Thread: (NYR/VAN) - Mazanec for 2020 7th RD pick
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MoreOfAnIslesGuy</b></div><div>I watched that video with Ray Ferraro talking about this. I agree with Ray, the deal would've been better earlier. I think they might've hoped DiPietro would be like Carter Hart, as also said in that video. The poor guy doesn't need to be anywhere near the NHL right now and I hope his confidence doesn't take too big of a hit because of this. Always have an NHL-capable emergency goalie at the ready in the AHL for situations like this. Wish Benning would think ahead, goalie wise. Markstrom isn't as good as he thinks and Demko is just getting there. When either of them are injured, the Canucks are **** out of luck.</div></div>

Markstrom has been carrying this team defensively. He gets no run support from the defenders in front of him and is doing his best to steal games. A goalie can only do so much when EP40 is your best defender most of the time.
