Thread: Min trade before expansion draft
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>FrodoBeggins</b></div><div>No from Wild/ I see no reason for savages in this exchange</div></div>

My thinking behind it is MIN would want to create an extra protection spot by moving pominville and getting simmonds would nicely fill that spot plus hes a great leader. Loosing simmonds means he needs to be replaced which is where Nino comes into it. Philly only have 2 dmen worth protecting so gaining a Dman would be good and Scandella was MIN 5th dman in TOI last season so still get to keep there top 4. Cousins and weal fill the gap from the departing pominville and can afford to loose one via expansion and manning will be able to be exposed and play 3rd pair mins if not taken.
Cap will have to be retained on pominville as Philly are receiving twice as much cap they are giving up.

I just signed weal to show a rough guild of cap coming and go in, if we are to resign him. Plus it seemed easier and quicker to sign him than write (rights to weal) lol

Thread: All The Rookies
This is very much the team I see at the start of the 17/18 season baring a couple moves, firstly I'd switch TK and Lindblom round, mostly to give G 2 big wingers and give the 3rd line a bit of creativity, but let's be honest the lines will change numerous times throughout the year. 2nd I don't see 3 rookies starting on D. I think Cousins/Raffl + manning + 3rd/4th 2017 round pick will be moved for a Dman before the expansion who will become our 3rd Dman protected behind Ghost and Gudas. Add Provy to that list it leaves you with 2 D spaces to fill with the rookies and the 7th will be Amac.
That means players left unprotected are:
Cousins/Raffl, Read, Weise, Bellemere, Laughton, Amac and Neuvirth
I also see laughts getting the last protection spot if they agree a post expansion contract with Weal so they dont have to protect him and can protect someone else.
After that I don't care who Vegas pick lol!!!

Thread: Blow up the core
I think the retained salary is important as I don't think G will be moved otherwise and 7m cap is fair. I know there's only 600k difference in retined salary for the first 2 yrs but it really kicks in after pominville contract is up and G still has 3 year left on his.
JT is my preferred option but could quite happily do something with either Col for Duchene or Edm for RNH but the pieces going to those teams would be different.
As for Jake nobody is taking on him and his contract at the moment and if they do they'll be looking at a deal involving 30-50% of his cap retained, which in my eyes is to much and will be better of trying him with some brand new linemates and one's that are snipers and can put the puck in the back of the net.
Would be good to hear what MIN fans think of the trade

Thread: Giroux to OTT part 2 + NYI
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>phillyjabroni</b></div><div>I dont see the point in trading for Tavares when we are not contenders, and his play doesn't improve our chances drastically. We will be serious contenders when Tavares is an UFA. Also dont understand the Weise buyout, would rather have MacDonald bought out, regardless of the small cap hit that he will have in a couple of years.</div></div>

I'm not buying anyone out it's pointless given as you say we are not contenders or struggling for cap space! Tavares is a guy who can put up point any which way, he is a proven goalscorer and playmaker, and with voracek on his wing he could hit the 40 goal mark and help improve konecny's game and get him to 50 points sooner rather than later. Granted the contract might be a bit long, how bout I change it from 8 to 6 year but increase to 9.2mil

Thread: Block Buster moves
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NateElder12</b></div><div>ABSOLUTELY NOT.. that return for Giroux is terrible. a 3rd line center, an awful contract on an average defenseman w/ longer term than G at the same age, and a Sam Morin type prospect from the same draft class doesn't interest me at all. We are giving up a top line center and our most dynamic offensive defenseman for nothing basically... <strong>Plus there isn't a pick in any round I'd give Vegas to take any player on this team</strong>. Nobody is good enough to give up anything for. You're basically saying Raffl, Manning, or Cousins is worth Matt Read and a 4th? Maybe Cousins is, but nobody else. And that Bishop contract/signing is horrendous - along with Hanzal. I'm sorry man I try not to be too critical, but this is just like you a trolling Flyers fans and if it is you got me lol. I'd quit watching hockey if this is the team they ice next year.</div></div>

I'm fed up of people giving away picks too LV to take one of our bottom 6 players who aren't worth keeping

100% agree with what you say also no idea why Col makes that trade when they need to be squirting draft picks not 30 year olds on big contracts, although I would love to have Zadorov

Thread: 17/18 - The Usual MTL Trade and an ANA Trade
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>F50marco</b></div><div><div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>phil250684</b></div><div>That is an overpayment from MTL end, Giroux and Galchenyuk even each other out so there paying Hudson, plekanec and juulsen for ghost. You'd be better taking Hudson out of the trade retaining on Giroux and adding a 2nd or 3rd round pick from Philly.
And there's absolutely no reason to buyout MacDonald, yes he is bad a yes I don't want him on the team either but I also don't want to be handicapped paying him his 1.83mil for 6 years, we have room to carry his contract for 2 years at least and we can always send him to the minors saving 1mil in cap space</div></div>

Agreed on the AMAC analysis. As bad as they think he is, he really isn't <em>that </em>bad. He's just over paid. Posters do this all the time with players they don't actually know that well. There is a difference between being a bad player and being an over paid player.

AMAC has shown he's able to play tougher minutes and bigger roles with the team. Forget the 5M cap hit and just evaluate the player. He'd be in your top 6 at least. If you think you can have 3 rookies and 1 sophomore in your lineup and not get blown out from time to time you got something coming. Plus some contracts are just not worth buying out. Philly isn't winning a cup anytime soon. No point in jeopardizing future cap space when you might need it for the now when you don't really need it.</div></div>

Couldn't have said it better myself

Thread: Continue the Process
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>phillyjabroni</b></div><div>Weise has been playing with Couturier and Schenn recently and it has been going well. I would rather see a MacDonald buyout, since its only 1.83mil that is in dead cap space in three years from now, compared to 5mil in dead cap space for 3 more years.</div></div>

You mean 1.83mil dead cap space for 6 years if you buyout MacDonald. Yes there are a couple players on this team that we would be better off without but we have the cap space to carry them for the next couple years wheather it'll be as a 13th forward or a 7th Dman while the youngsters are still on there ELC'S saving at least 2 years of dead cap space 4-6 years from now!
There won't be any buyouts this year or next year so please stop buying everyone out cos it won't happen!! We can always save 1mil in cap by sending them down to the minors.
