Thread: lineup
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>aedoran</b></div><div>I agree and Rasmussen could stay in GR for the better part of the season. He need some confidence after Holland completely screwed up his last year for him. Does signing Nemeth mean Kronwall is going to retire? Blashill did mention AA is going to start the season as the #2 center.</div></div>

I don't think the Nemeth signing necessarily means Kronner is done. I think we'll just bury Ericsson if need be. I do think Kronwall is done, though.
I remember Blashill saying that but wasn't that before the Filppula signing? Yzerman mentioned the Filppula signing will let AA move back to his natural position at wing. I personally like him better at wing anyways where he can just take off without worrying about so much stuff.

Thread: Trades with nsh tbl wpg njd
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>dca919</b></div><div>1)Turris--why does Detroit need another #2 center? I count 3x 2nd line centers in the organization (Veleno, Rassmussen, and Athanasiou) at this point with another potential one coming in the draft (Couzens or Dach).

2)When you retain nearly 50% of Daley's salary and take on Callahan's entire cap hit Raddysh is fair compensation. He's shown 2nd line potential so far in the AHL after tearing it up in the OHL. He's Tampa's 2nd best RW prospect (behind Alex Barre-Boulet). The Wings would probably be better off taking the draft pick as they have plenty of young forwards.

3)A one-year rental of Taylor Hall seems like a terrible idea and giving up 2 top 6 young forwards, a projected #3 d-man, and a 2nd round pick makes it seem worse.

4)Green would veto the trade as he can until Feb 2020. And the Jets would be looking for a young defensive prospect or roster player in a trade.</div></div>

1) My thought process was mainly this. Rasmussen isn't ready and won't be ready at center for at least 2 seasons. Veleno won't be ready next season. AA is significantly better on the wing where he has less defense to worry about. By the time Rasmussen or Veleno is ready to be a 3c, Glendening will be gone. Nielsen moves down to 4c duties and the kid takes over the third line. Nielsen will be gone by the time a kid is ready to fully take over 2c duties and Turris can move down to 3c, where he will be better suited at that point anyways. If both Veleno and Rasmussen become legitimate options for the 2c role, that's a good problem to have.

3) I should have mentioned in the description that I had a sign and trade in mind for Hall on a 6 year extension. So it wouldn't be a 1 year rental. Hall is dynamic and fills out the second line nicely, today and in a few years. Zadina and Raddysh are still unknowns. That was the one I felt I overpaid on though. Maybe throwing out a lower level prospect instead of Raddysh.

4) I'm not convinced he would veto going to wpg for a season. Sure he likes Detroit, but the chance to compete for a cup has to have a little bit of pull. And as far as wpg is concerned, they get cap space and a veteran guy who can still put up 40 points on the second or third pair when healthy.

Thread: Erik Karlsson to Lightning FOR Sergachev, Raddysh, 2019 3rd round pick, 2020 1st
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>I_Know_Nothing_About_Hockey_Or_Any_Sport2</b></div><div>Karlsson isn't re-signing with the Senators, so it's one year of Karlsson for Sergachev and Raddysh long-term. If anything, that sounds like an overpayment to me. The Senators aren't winning the Cup this year. The faster they trade Karlsson, the faster attendance numbers drop dramatically, and multiple teams are interested, so it's not as if the Senators have <em>no</em> bargaining power in this situation, but they really have very little. I honestly think that anything more than Foote, a couple of picks, and maybe someone like Koekkoek is an overpayment unless Karlsson comes with an extension. Then use people like Volkov, Joseph, Stephens, etc. to facilitate cap dumps. Karlsson wants to sign in Tampa, so if Ottawa rejects, we just wait a year (and we have a legitimate shot at the Cup anyway) and then get him for free. It does seem like the Lightning are going to hurt themselves really badly over one run based on these proposals and what the media is saying.</div></div>
I get what you're saying, and you may be right. But they do hold the power. A Karlsson deal comes witha long yerm contract extension at this point and because of that, any team in the league would be willing to give up a package that's worth more than just Foote, Koekkoek plus a pick or two. The bolts could absolutely get him for free if he goes to free agency, but I doubt he'll make it there. Someone will make it worth his while to sign and that team will trade for him knowing they have him long term. So, yes the sens are going to trade him, but they're also going to get a haul for him regardless of who knows he's getting traded.
