Thread: the only way
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Hammerwise</b></div><div>All under offers, and those teams say no.

Domi probably gets a 2nd and a bit more, (a 4th?)

Boeser with multiple yrs retention probably gets a 1st and a 3rd added to that

Chyrchrun deal would need probably Poulin and something else like POJ or Smith, or maybe both of those, Dumolin as an expiring UFA adds really nothing to the offer for ARZ</div></div>

Eh, no one is really hot on Domi, and he already said he wants to go back to 'Hawks. A 2nd would probably be fine there.

Same with Boeser. He kinda sucks and is a jerk in the locker room. Personally, I don't want him either way. But, Pettersson is probably a better player right now and the values are much closer than being a 1st round pick off. Probably somewhere in between.

The Chychrun trade is bad though. They want 2 1sts + a high end prospect. They can probably be talked down to Pickering+1st+2nd+something else (mid round pick, Poulin, etc). But, Dumo certainly doesn't help them.

Overall, I also don't see them tearing down their entire left side of their D. Or really trading Dumoulin at all, despite the fact he seemingly costs us at least a goal, personally, every game. They like him in the locker room and I don't see them messing up that chemistry mid-season.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>HypotheticalImpossibility</b></div><div>Riikola's 27 and hasn't managed a full NHL season with the Penguins. I think his NHL career is pretty much over at this point.

Definitely in the minority here, but I'd consider taking him for future considerations as a Plan E or Plan F. If Detroit's still light on LD and gets into injury trouble, he might slot in on the 3rd paring and help the tanking effort. Wouldn't be willing to give up anything for him though.</div></div>

Interesting perspective.

Rikola actually looks like a bottom pair NHL defenseman when he plays. I don't know why Sullivan doesn't ever want to play him, but he's a better skater and is more skilled than Ruhwedl and Friedman. I can understand the perspective that he's not an NHL player, since the only team that has offered him a contract chooses not to play him. But to me, he would seem to just need an opportunity to play. Detroit would seem like a good spot with so few capable players currently under contract, and a future 7th hardly qualifies as a significant asset. But, I'll note this if I do any future ACGM's.
