Thread: end of year roster
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TMarch</b></div><div>I think they are all reasonable except the Svech/Helm move. They'd only give up on Svech if he wasn't performing, and if he wasn't performing he wouldn't have a lot of value, and Helm doesn't have a lot of value on his own.</div></div>

I agree but I think Helm has some value especially adding more speed to an already fast team. Playing on the 3/4th line and PK during playoffs is worth having. I think for svech he will have a good year in the AHL but I don't think he is NHL ready and hes worth more If he plays better in the A then poorly in the N. Looking down the pipe I see Rass and Kuffner playing better then svech. I liked the way Kuffner was playing at the prospect tourney looked better then end of year last year. and Rass will be much better by end of year this year. Svech may be better the Erne come that time but I think it may be better to trade Svech and Helm for that or if Svech looks good maybe get torontos first from Carolina. 2 yrs down the road may be good once Filippula is done, to keep Svech and have a line of Kuff-Rass- Svech for 3rd line would be good. One year if they trade Erne but wont happen since they just picked him up.

Thread: new look
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CN10</b></div><div>I believe "looking outside the organization" meant a UFA signing for 1 year &lt; $1M, not sending out two assets for a guy (Daley) worse than the internal option they already have (<a href="https://public.tableau.com/shared/DGHKHP2RS?:display_count=yes&amp;:origin=viz_share_link" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">Daley v. Kylington 2019</a>). The depth chart at LHD looks fine to me even if they don't get anyone right now and only make the move for a Daley or equivalent in the event of an injury.
Gio - Brodie
Hanifin - Hamonic
Kylington - Andersson
Davidson - Yelesin
Valiev</div></div>

Agree it’s unlikely but veteran depth would be nice for playoffs. Would love to see them past the first round. But a good option to wait until trade deadline.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CN10</b></div><div>Flames likely wouldn't do this deal as it blocks Kylington from playing and they are overpaying to rent Daley to eat popcorn. You might get the third or a fourth, but more likely they just sign a guy like Hutton, Schlemko, or Phaneuf for less than that $1.5M that Daley would be getting if they wanted a veteran to play / watch from the pressbox.</div></div>

Calgary has already commented that they will be looking outside the organization to fill the role. If they cant find anyone they will then use Kylington. They could sign one of them, I think daley is a little better then them but if Phaneuf would sign for a mill, then by all means bring him back. Also Daley has a salary this year at 2.2M. Detroit could look at throwing back a 5th as well but I don't think it would be needed

Thread: Mantha AA Bertuzzi Extensions
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Old_Snowman</b></div><div>If they want 6.5 it will be shorter term and they'll have to outplay Larks. Both players are below Larks in talent and will. 5.75...even 6, over 8 years is a great deal for both AA and Mantha and the team for what they provide around the 25-30 goal range. Unless the both take massive steps this year and become 40 goal scorers, I don't see them getting 6.5 for 8 years.</div></div>

Most likely they will be short term deals. Around 5 years. You have to also consider contract are not based on team signing but at an NHL level. Since cap has increased players are asking for more. Just because Larkin is the best on the team doesn’t mean he will always be making the most. Most likely Mantha and AA will be above 6.5 assuming they have a decent year. I can see Burt not getting more then 4 or it will be short term because he may get moved out of top line next year. And his production will decrease.
