Thread: Freddy takes less for prove it and replacing kerfoot

That Wennberg contract is pretty bad, can’t see if getting that high an AAV.

You want Mikheyev gone and Simmonds on the PK? Rielly with Holl?

There is a lot that needs changing on here</div></div>

heh, I definitely looked at his total money earned instead of AAV when determining what to sign him for. Adjusted accordingly considering age/performance. The actual pairings weren't meant as 'this is the way they're deployed' for the most part. Just fitting in dollars. I re-allocated mis-spent cap on Wennberg to Hyman and kept Mikheyev even though I think he's making himself more and more expendable given Galchenyuk's ability to perform better with the Tavares line.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Boomer125</b></div><div>What? You're crazy, it makes complete logical sense to overpay a bottom 6 C after fans spent that last 2 offseasons chucking Kerfoot and his "to high AAV" to the sun for nothing</div></div>

None of you are wrong. It doesn't /need/ to be wennberg, and like some have said, if they can pry him away for 3.5-4.5 the remainder goes to Hyman. I have nothing against Kerfoot and have never thought he was paid too much personally, but with that being said I also think that makes him the obvious choice for Seattle. My reasoning behind Mikheyev going is just cause he's striking me as another Kappy. Great speed, not much of a playmaker, can't seem to finish on the Leafs. Would he do better if he weren't being relied on as a playmaker? Maybe, but do the leafs have the time to wait for that to happen? Maybe not. Simmonds was already signed to a cheap contract, so my assumption was he's a player the leafs wanted and therefore wouldn't be traded.

Thread: testing
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JRoss</b></div><div>I’d like to know what those seasoned experts said. Lol.</div></div>

Corey Masisak’s take (Devils beat writer): Severson was the Devils’ best defenceman this past season, has three years left on a reasonable contract and is young enough to still be good when New Jersey is ready to be a contender again. Put all of that together and the Devils are going to need a substantial return to move him. Dermott is three years younger, so he would fit a timeline centered around Nico Hischier and Jack Hughes better, and has been played pretty well as a young defenceman on a strong team. And the Devils don’t have a 2020 second-round pick, so that could be enticing.

Two concerns I could see the Devils having: 1) Dermott is the same size as fellow lefties Will Butcher and Ty Smith, though his style of game might be different enough for that to not matter. 2) Do they believe in Dermott’s upside? He’s played 17 minutes per game for the Leafs, with some instances of getting more responsibility because of injuries. If the Devils’ primary goal is to add more young, good players to build around Hischier and Hughes, then this offer could be tempting. Though I could also see the Devils feeling like it is an “almost there, but not quite enough” kind of offer as well, especially because Severson could put up better numbers playing for Lindy Ruff and increase his value.
