Thread: Fair or not enough

Absolutely horrid for the Leafs. Even at that can't find a way to create a realistic 22 man roster.

Thread: Two Unrealistic Trade Ideas

Florida keeps the superior players and the low cap Lundell. I like Konecky but should the Jets trade a first and second rounder for him? In a cap strapped league, can't you find a UFA...maybe not as good and keep your picks?

Thread: Sabres push for playoffs

[quote=jimmyjets;3248129
Buffalo has a lot that I would want, but this isn't it. No top player is being traded for 5 magic beans. They need to up the quality and reduce the quantity. Where's 9OA? Krebs? Levi/Portilo? Jokiharju? Quinn?

I don't know if any team besides Jets fans think Dubois is a franchise centre. 49th overall scorer for centres in the NHL. 5th highest scoring for the Jets (per game). That reeks of second line albeit a good one. Teams with cap like the Sabres can just sign a UFA for the price that Dubois is going to get and keep their assets.
Now I don't blame the Jets for not wanting to trade him, But hypothetically would the Jets be better overpaying Kadri 9m X 4 years and making that trade with Buffalo by trading 8m Dubois.

Thread: We are in the Off Season Now

Leaf are pretty good at LW, and really can't afford Greenway. Now Talbot to the Leafs could be a possibility if Campbell isn't resigned. Even MA Fleury to the Leafs is a possibility too.

Thread: One Big Trade

Gee, who is" Islanders get a platoon goalie to work with Sorokin,"? You can't mean the always injured Mrzarek? Gee, if Panik is a 250,000 cap dump, what are Mrzarek and Muzzin?

Forum: Armchair-GM3 hours ago

Thread: Wish

Funny how you think the need to trade for scoring help then you trade for a big premium for 10 goal scorer (pro rated) who production was less than Kerfoot's. And while Crouse's production was maybe 20% better than Engvall's that's way too much trade capital to trade hm.
One of the more unrealistic trades....Muzzin to Oilers, and Mrzarek to Arizona.

Thread: Huberdeau AND Trouba

That's. an awful lot to give to just hope Hubernaeau resigns., and even at that where does the cap to resign him?
Still don't understand the concept of Trouba's NMC.

Thread: Gibson Gurianov

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GarthBrooks</b></div><div>Campbell is great I love Campbell but he’s probably asking for something is the 5 million range which he deserves (Merzlikens, Ullmark) but he’s a tandem goaltender than a full time starter so we’d need to find a better backup than Kallgren who faultered near the end. I’m sure Edmonton would give him like 5.5 or Detroit. Sandin I think needs a couple years playing LD we got Gio and Muzzin locked for 2 more and he needs proper playing time to develop. Iunno if he’d be comfortable playing his offside all season being on his back hand the entire time he’s here. And I saw Holmberg was a C on the Marlies depth chart that’s why I put him there. Don’t hate the leafs original roster but the 2nd line needs work remember Nylander playing the third line for a chunk of it we don’t need to be playing 7 mil for a third liner. Rather fix the 2nd line I think Gurianov could do that plus he’s restricted so there’s a couple years of team control</div></div>

Funny how you say Campbell is a tandem goalie....He played 49 games this year, but saviour Gibson played 56.
Still it's ridiculous to go wth a six man Dman roster....and trading away cost efficient NHLers like Sandin, Liljegren

Forum: Armchair-GM4 hours ago

Thread: Sabres push for playoffs

That's a lot give up for to acquire second line centre Dubois. And for 8m? OK that might be going rate.
But wouldn't the Sabres better by paying a UFA about the same price and keep their young assets?

Forum: Armchair-GM4 hours ago

Thread: Trade Huberdeau

Yea, I understand about selling high, but the Flyers aren't giving up three good assets for one year of Huberdeau. Flyers are better to sign a good UFA...like Gaudreau and keep their picks.
And Hornqvuist's M NTC probably doesn't include any poor team with cap.

Forum: Armchair-GM4 hours ago

Thread: Clean House And Start Over

Wouldn't Jersey be a lot better just to sign a UFA goalie and they can keep all those young assets. Now if you want. to "gift" Markstrom to the Devils they will take it, and then you have 6m to sign another goalie.

Thread: Adding Trouba at the draft

Hockey___Mind, you have to explain why Trouba waives his NMC to play for Columbus.

Forum: Armchair-GM4 hours ago

Thread: Prioritize defense and goaltending

Nice that you trade for Kubalik and then don't have the cap to sign him. I know Eric Comrie comes from a rich family, but he ain't signing for so little.
Arizona say no also. They don't want to pay Mrzaerk 8m.

Forum: Armchair-GM4 hours ago

Thread: Dreidger

Don't know why Seattle would think Mrzarek is better than Dreiger. No, Joey Anderson is not a young (NHL) piece at all.

Thread: Leafs 2022-23

Horrid for Seattle....and Muzzin.

Thread: Why Does It Have To Be Matt

The one team that might like Zuccarello are the Kings....and just might be on Zucc's trade list. They can afford his cap and might like his two year term. I think it's a good thought..

Forum: Armchair-GM5 hours ago

Thread: Thanks Cali

Interesting concept on obtaining an NHL goalie in Kahkonen. But Muzzin to LA....no reason for LA to do that trade (maybe not Muzzin either)

Forum: Armchair-GM5 hours ago

Thread: Gibson Gurianov

I don't know why Leaf fans "hate their own". so much. Resigning Campbell and buying Mrzarek is cheaper than Gibson. Why is Gibson perceived as the miracle worker?
Then the Leafs keep Sandin and their first rounder too.
Another impractical 21 man roster with only six Dmen. Leafs have to keep the young cost efficient Dmen, Liljegren and Sandin and not trade them for no benefit to the Leafs.
How does winger Holmberg suddenly become an NHL centre.
I'm always amazed that the Leafs get assets for 2m Holl but can sign a UFA RHD Lybushin cheaper.

Thread: Avs Nylander and Evans added

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Logan_Ollivier</b></div><div>Come on man! Nylander is not a cap dump. He's a point a game player that is so hard to find. It's money well spent.</div></div>

As I have said before....but you fail to read, IMO Nylander is fully worth his 7m X 2 contract till UFA. It's is trade value that low. There are so many teams near the cap trying to offload cap and few buyers.
To trade Nylander without receiving cap back....well that return is low.
Let's say the Leafs trade to LA for a second and third rounder. The Leafs still have 7m to sign others player(s)...which seems like. good deal for the Leafs. Heck the Kings just might say we'll keep our picks and spend 7m on a UFA .

Forum: Armchair-GM9 hours ago

Thread: Avs Nylander and Evans added

Think you've really overpaid to get the middling Evans and for taking on Nylander 7m cap.
I wonder if those Avs UFA you signed would go elsewhere if those were the max offers proposed.

Thread: What I think our pending UFAs in 2023 would sign for

Love Connor Brown but for a 29 year old to get a five year contract at 6m per, seems pricey. You made a nice comparison with Pageau, though Pageau was younger, but looking at that deal now, I betcha the Isles think they overpaid for a third line centre..

Thread: Trade Dubois Sign Kadri

I gotta think Kadri will have more attractive locations to go to than the Jets...though your 7.5m X 4 seems about right.

Thread: Would FLA Trade Bennett and Montour to open cap

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>WhyWait</b></div><div>His salary last year was $800K and his QO under the current rules is $840K

I am not a Bennett fan overall, and I think that his contract is too much. I would rather keep Blueger and the 2nds (and the other stuff) than being Bennett in.</div></div>

Yea I've never been a Bennett fan. But give him credit, after being traded to Florida he had a great ten games got a nice contract. And he did have a good 21/22 season

Of course it's a great way to piss off your star player...tell him he's not wanted. One reason there are so few sign and trades that CF fans love.
Gee, I know how to learn, how 'bou ya?
