Thread: Joe Anderson and Cap Talk
Pretty sound logic here for the most part.

I think Robertson probably doesn't play that much and vesey will probably be that 3rd line winger on opening night. Also worth mentioning that it's highly unlikely Thornton and Spezza play every game and will probably have to be rotated in with other depth forwards. Does Engvall basically get pushed off of the roster because of his cap hit? out of the people i'd want being replacements, he's about top of the list but they seemingly have so many replacement level wingers i guess it doesn't really matter(your 4th line shouldn't make or break your season).

Also on the D-side, yes I think something has to give and Holl seems like the most appropriate option to move cap-wise, but I would personally prefer him to Dermott in general but holl also plays the right side and there are other D men like lehtonen that are going to be very strong candidates to make the team(lehtonen is considered the best d man in the KHL)

Ultimately, this is the type of problem you want to have, but I would be wary of a team getting to hands-on with the roster and not giving it time to gel together. Often I think the bottom end of a roster seems to just sort itself out if you leave it alone

Thread: UNO reverse card
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SlickWilly</b></div><div>How can you say the De Haan trade was bad? We got him for virtually free. And I will defend the Saad trade to an extent. A big part of the trade was the premise that Forsberg could continue to improve off of his stellar Calder Cup winning season and be the goalie of the future for the Hawks while Panarin was going to be unaffordable in 2 years. Unfortunately, goalies are hard to predict and he didnt pan out.</div></div>

Is de haan worth 4.5 mill? maybe there's a reason you got him for nothing

The rationale for the Panarin trade was that Toews wanted his guy back. I also don't think it's stellar asset management to trade an elite player for a top 9 forward and a big maybe goaltending prospect

Thread: GMBM at work
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BuckoJoyde</b></div><div>We would need to add for that Laine trade. Personally if the guys I want at 6 are gone I add that to a package to trade for him.

So much jones hate on cf. Its unnecessary. Give the guy time to develop and why should we help out buffalo for being bad for so long. Not saying MJ is this big addition but we are bad ourselves. He's a former 1st at his lowest value lets just hold onto him

Same thing for Terry.

GMBM wouldnt consider doing these trades. My bet deepening on the target and our scoring output I foresee Rakell being the next guy getting traded</div></div>

I understand the Terry/Jones comments, but there sadly is no room and it would probably be smarter for the ducks to focus on developing the 5 or so guys that have the best shot at making it.

What do you think of the reimer deal?
