Thread: offseason plans
That is a massive and unnecessary overpayment for Bertuzzi. Likely won’t take that much for Staal, and probably Korpisalo as well. Why even make the Kubalik trade when he just ends up getting scratched when at least 1 of Svech or Patches gets activated, and who is the next forward to be scratched? Unless someone becomes a better net front than Noesen, he isn’t getting scratched. Puljujarvi is unlikely to get scratched if he stays on the Staal line, since it would be Rod’s go to line, unless Rod moves Turbo to the 3RW spot. And which of Bertuzzi, Svech, or Patches gets dumped onto the 4th line? It’s it’s going to be Bertuzzi, might as well save cap space and just go for Olofsson, since he could be had for half retained for a 2nd, give or take. Don’t mind the Soucy signing, but Ghost could probably be had at that same cap hit, might as well keep Ghost with his chemistry with Chatfield.

Thread: What if
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Islesforthecup</b></div><div>Disagree on miller, i dont think targeting him is the issue so much as the line combos. Miller should be the 2C and KK and staal at 3LW and 3C. Kk certainly hasnt shown that he should be a 2C on a contender and i think a miller addition makes a lot of sense.</div></div>

If they went after Miller (which is highly unlikely) I agree with you. But KK has also proven that he’s much better at C than wing so that hurts his development. I get the window to win is now but I also don’t want to stunt KK if the team is committed to him long term which they’ve shown they are, especially when Miller would be a one year play. I’m also much more bullish on KK for this season than most are so I’ll admit I may have a rosy colored disposition here.

Thread: Fitting it in
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>vikhodush</b></div><div>I’d do a swap and get a third team to retain for a mid pick like you said. He’ll probably come in around 2.5-3 I’d imagine.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>planter5</b></div><div>Bear has the value of like a 3rd round pick id imagine. Kulikov I’ve seen traded for a 4th. A 1 for 1 swap wouldn’t be horrible for either. Maybe minny adds a later round/AHL player</div></div>

Yeah, I was thinking
Kulikov(1.125m retained) + MIN 6th to CAR
Bear RFA rights to MIN
MIN 5th to 3rd team to retain 1.125m on Kulikov

The 5th and 6th could probably be flipped, I don’t know what the asking price to retain that 1.125m would be. Wouldn’t mind sending a lesser piece to either team instead of the picks, but I don’t feel like speculating on who that would be.

Thread: Malkin and letang not actually happening but if
I mean there r a lot of holes here, what happens to tony D and bear cuz they r RFAs and won’t disappear for nothing. I like the bottom pair D, I think it’s gonna be exactly that next year. I wouldn’t be shocked if necas was offer sheeted. He had a down year for the canes and played on the fourth line yet outproduced half the team. He is one year removed from a career year as a 22 year old. I think the canes may have to move him for a big piece and I wouldn’t be surprised if that piece is chychrun because they need somebody to replace tony D and he is a top tier option. Tbh I think they trade necas as a part of a chychrun deal, trade tony for prospects and picks so they have cap for the next few years. I could also see them selling high on Raanta because of kochetkov. I do see them making a splash in free agency and while it is without question Malkin is the best free agent this year he is just older and it is a gamble on him. They could use that cap to resign Nino if they wanted. I will say what they are doing right now is very confusing with having 4 key roster pieces possibly leaving the team next year it is gonna be massive holes to fill. All this talking makes me want to make a team so I will @ you with a similar concept but what I feel may be more realistic. Thank you for reading my essay if you did

Thread: What debrincat will cost
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jance</b></div><div>Supposedly the Hawks have turned down a package that involved 2 firsts (one being a "high" one). Their supposed asking price is 3 firsts, + high prospects ready to make it to the NHL. So with the salary dumps in here, I doubt this would do it. If your gonna go with 2 firsts, it's likely going to cost more than just some "ok prospects," it would probably cost high-level prospects. So no, I don't think this would get you cat.</div></div>

Morrow is a high level prospect and Necas is worth more than a first. So this is essentially 4 firsts plus. Maybe you get higher quality firsts but you’re not getting more than that. It’s also highly likely CHI takes salary back bc if they move Cat they’re rebuilding anyways and that’s how they can maximize the return.

Thread: Huge Caniac
For the most part your trades are actually fairly realistic and spot on value-wise, so kudos to you :)

The first trade is pretty good as value...until you see the amount of retention. A team like the Flyers can't afford to retain that much, as this season (like all seasons) they are going to be spending to the cap.

No comments on the TBL trade, it's pretty good and probably what the TBL will get for Killorn, and Killorn in probably the most likely player to be dealt from that team.

The third trade is very solid as far as value goes, except for the part where the Canucks are the ones to retain the salary. The Canucks cannot afford to retain anything as (just like the Flyers) they are going to be spending to the cap already. I think if you change the Canucks to another team (such as the Predators, NJD, or CBJ) the trade is solid.
