<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>KingofRnR</b></div><div>I think CGY needs to retain $2m/yr on Markstrom to justify that 1st Round Pick, but NJD should then pay something additional for CGY to take back the Cap Dump that is Vanecek

Other way would be to retain on both Vanecek and Markstrom for the same amount and then just add a 2nd for the $2mil of retention for the additional full season on Markstrom’s contract

CGY doesn’t want or need Vanecek, but he’d be good insurance for Wolf + Vladar and perhaps with a change of scenery he rebounds and either he or Vladar become Trade Pieces for next season</div></div>

I'm now just seeing and hearing the reports that Markstrom isn't happy, expecting less in return now and expect it to happen soon.

Think we see Wolf on Kipper night on Saturday?

You can't read or I didn't express myself properly or you're just looking to be pissy and jumped at what you thought was a chance.

Holtz and Vanecek for Markstrom isn't great sounding, idiots are going to expect a 1st, plus, plus. I think it's underwhelming unless Holtz fits the same way Sharky does.

The deal with Hanifin wouldn't be underwhelming but I wasn't expecting that deal, Im expecting Holtz and a cap dump.

According to LeBum, Devils are willing to take Markstroms full load. If true, and if Holtz was part of the original deal, I'm expecting more along the lines of Holtz and Vanacek.

Unless Hanifins involved as well, I would expect Seamus and a 1st and Holtz or Mercer.

It would fit Connies current targets of Dfens. Unless he's aiming for a center in Mercer.

To sum up, expecting something kinda underwhelming akin to Sharangovich but lots of potential upside now.

I just need the TDL to be over, thinking about what the team should look like for the 3 or 4 games between then seems pointless.

Hanifin for Reinhart, do more silly things with Florida.

Little crazy, but I'd think about moving off of Timo before trade protection kicks in. His playoffs weren't amazing, this year has been injury plagued.

Look at how younger potentially cheaper guys stepped up in his absence, shift the money to D and goal or keep Mercer and Holtz or whatever.

Lefts getting clogged too, give us Siegenthaler? Get more value elsewhere, but, sell Seignthaler, make room for Hanifin or another more legitimate top pair guy while Hughes grows into tge position? Settle Bahl into the 3rd pair?

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>dgibb10</b></div><div>In terms of Casey vs Bruz people haven’t realized how far the OHL has fallen.

Casey is arguably the best dman in college (not just in terms of points but in terms of analytics as well)

Every time they’ve been stacked up, whether it’s a role at Michigan, the US development team, where they get drafted, and for the world Juniors, the big decision makers for hockey have time and again shown they view Casey as a tier above.</div></div>

I would not give two hoots about any non roster player on that team. It's winning time, buy Markstrom and Hanifin, maybe you don't make it this year but assuming it's a long term fit, it's a great idea.

Speculations about where he'll sign sound pretty scattered originally it was only Boston, then he was going to resign, now it's Tampa. Jerseys not far from Boston, it's just as plausible as anywhere else.

Devils fans are irrationally attached to seamus, even though they have Hamilton, Marino and Nemec for an eternity.

At some point they need to be in the yellow banana business, as Jeff would say.

They have sooo much money, and alot coming off the books and a cupboard full of prospects.

I hate them.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>KingofRnR</b></div><div>I hate when he leaves the crease to go anywhere, other than behind the net

Yeah NJD’s almost out of it. They’d need both Hanifin & Markstrom to make the playoffs now

I think we have a better chance of making the playoffs and could ship Markstrom there in the playoffs, although the probability we make it now, especially with the departure of Tanev and pending Hanifin move, those odds are getting fairly slim

Now I’m interested to see if Conroy makes any moves to replace them though</div></div>

I think it's going to be a tight race. Two games left against the Kings. If they continue to stumble and we pick up those games, we could knock em out of the playoffs again.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Ledge_And_Dairy</b></div><div>They have lots of cap space this year, Minny did the same thing last year for the free asset</div></div>

Yeah, but Minnie's weird.

I thought buying Timo really signaled NJ being more aggressively competitive.

But, they've suffered so many injuries, it's understandable.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>KingofRnR</b></div><div>Hey Man! Possibly. It’s only $1.125 mil and they have retention slots and tons of Cap Space with Hamilton on LTIR, so might as well buy a 4th Round Pick

I hope they’re in on Hanifin or better yet Markstrom still though</div></div>

I don't know, to me, it looks like they're throwing in the towel if they're wasting cap space buying picks. Unless, it's to help grease the wheels to bring in Markstrom.

I hope it's Markstrom, I'll never trust him again after last season and I still have a stroke every time he leaves the net.

Worst instincts outside the crease. WORST.

Forum: Armchair-GMFeb. 28 at 10:50 p.m.

Weird that Jerseys retaining. Think they might be positioning for a Hanifin deal? Or that Markstrom deal is back on the table?

Thread: Treliving Deadline Based on His History

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>aadoyle</b></div><div>Ristolinen is a 3rd pair guy like Myers

Guys that would be looked at probs Chycrun, Fabbro, Larsson, etc.</div></div>

I don't know if the Leafs will outbid other offers on those players, if they become available. If another team does a 1st, 2nd and good prospect, I think the Leaf's get put in a position where they overpay to compensate for the lack of the 2nd.

I think Risto would be an upgrade on Lily and Timmins and relatively inexpensive to acquire. That term and contract are too scary though. Maybe Peeke?

The only player I can think of is Rasmus Ristolainen, but I think the ask would be too high and too much of a gamble.

Not worth it to the Leafs, might get close to that from someone with more assets to spend.

That does seem a bit steep though. A first is going to be hard to get.

I'm hoping for more Sharangovich trades, someone with high upside who's buried in their org.

If rental price for a center is somewhere between O'Reilly and Horvat I don't think this is too crazy.

A 1st for each year of the contract, plus the extra 1st instead of a prospect.

I'm not saying I'd do it, and OP did say it was an overpay, but at least it's real value for Ducks fans.
