Thread: Is this a fair price for Eichel laundering

Getting Eichel at $5mil for 5 years would be fantastic, even if it means dumping kadri a year later to make room for MacKinnons new deal, this gives Colorado 5 great years to compete (dont forget Erik Johnsons $6mil per is coming off the books soon).

Arizona eating $5mil for 5 years is a tough choice though, thats a lot for them to eat in real dollars, even though the cap space wont be an issue for a few years at least. If the owner can stomach eating that- not sure if the player return is enough- Jost doesnt look like he will be top 6, and Kaut I have no clue on. Floridas 1st looks like its going to be a late one.

Thread: Toronto Maple Leafs signed Morgan Rielly (8 Years / $7,500,000 AAV)

Reillys defense isnt great, and even his offensive numbers arent that impressive. 7.5mil isnt out of line for top pairing dman, but Reilly has been underperforming the last 2 years, so giving him 8 more....is a little scary.

But as a Leaf hater- I love it! This just makes their cap situation worse! No depth, no cups, until they start trading off or letting go of some of those stars contracts (and waste their best years).

Thread: Next season without Rielly

that defense and goaltending is not playoff calibre, even if their top 2 lines get them there.... they will be picked apart in any series.

thank god pettersson and hughes didnt have his agent.

1mil for a fringe NHL er with zero upside is odd...4 years is insane.

Thread: All in for the cup

I am high as **** right now.... and that is one crazy ass trade to even suggest!

even with twice the drugs (and half the intellect) Benning wouldnt make this trade.

Thread: Boston Bruins signed Charlie McAvoy (8 Years / $9,500,000 AAV)

great dman and this contract isnt out of line with what other top dmen are getting- could be seen as a great deal compared to Jones and Nurses...
but i voted no- as this destroys the team cap that Boston had aced and their other stars are going to want bigger paydays when their contracts are up.

Thread: Nashville Predators signed Mattias Ekholm (4 Years / $6,250,000 AAV)

I think this is a great deal for Nashville, Ekholm is a great defensive dman with some offense, and this deal still makes him tradeable if they decide to retool further. He wouldve gotten longer term and possibly even more money as a UFA.

Thread: Vancouver Canucks signed Alex Chiasson (1 Year / $750,000 AAV)

This is more of a temp covering after losing Sutter for weeks, and Boeser for a short time (hopefully). Not sure how he fits on the 4th line/killing penalties- but could work on the PP, and give them some much needed size.

Forum: NHL SigningsOct 10 at 4:00

Thread: New York Rangers signed Mika Zibanejad (8 Years / $8,500,000 AAV)

I would consider 8.5 reasonable for 3 or 4 years as he is already 28. He has likely peaked production wise, or will this year, so to have 4 years at this salary as he declines is far too much, and will bite them when they are finally able to compete as one of the better teams which they should be doing with all their good young players/prospects they have.

Thread: (OTT/STL) - Brown and cond. 2022 4th for Sanford

the chances of Brown becoming an NHL regular are very slim. If you cant make a dent in the Ottawa roster after all this time, cant stay healthy...and have a overtly high self worth that doesnt reflect any accomplishment....youre not likely to succeed. his attitude killed what trade value he shouldve had. A high draft pick pedigree means little when you show no effort and zero results. just ask Jake Virtanen.

Thread: My Calder candidates

No Podkolzin? outside of Caufield (and maybe Kaliyev) I think he will get more icetime than any of the other RWs listed. Most have him penciled in on the 3rd line , while I would be surprised if Lind makes Seattle, and they arent seen as being a good offensive team.

Timmins is in a great spot, he might get a much better opportunity than most of the dmen listed- outside of Seider and Drysdale. Byram has his work cut out for him to get any kind of icetime with Colorado this year.

Forum: Armchair-GMSep 19 at 4:24

Thread: CBC316

why would the Rangers dump a young cheap center?
Its not that he is worth more than a 4th...but theyre not dumping salary/getting younger.
the nucks arent in a great position to give up picks for someone going on their 4th line (Sutter/MacEwen will do fine)

Forum: Armchair-GMSep 18 at 6:46

Thread: Bruins fans will hate it

vancouver fans would hate this! regardless of how good Carlos contract is....this forces one of their dmen on the wrong side, and they retain salary on Miller? whose already on a great deal- albeit for only 2 more years.

and in no way do you trade a winger like Boeser for a 2nd pairing dman.

Thread: Still good free agents

half these players will likely never play in the NHL again. I expect Demers, Zajac, Staal, Dubnyk and Galchenyuk to get deals (maybe after a PTO), but many arent likely to play again at all- Condon, Darling, Hainsey, even Chara.

Thread: How Much Would SJ Pay for Us to Take EV

So San Jose saves $3.5mil, gets 2 bottom 6 wingers, one of whom is going to be an UFA... and gives up a lottery pick for that? thats just stupid.

Why not ask Edmonton if they want to dump McDavids large contract, but only if they eat half of it and throw in some picks too.

Forum: Armchair-GMSep 15 at 9:40

Thread: PTO RHD

there are questions about Vatanens health- not sure if he agrees or not...
as for Demers he apparently wants to play again and would be a great fit on the Habs 3rd pairing...but he has been very picky before about where he plays. He seems to prefer the warmer, southern climates. Surprised somebody hasnt thrown money at him for a 1 yr deal.

Thread: Seattle Kraken signed Ryan Donato (1 Year / $750,000 AAV)

Im surprised this was his choice, not the best opportunity - which is what it should boil down too at this point.

Like many have stated, Seattle has a lot of interchangeable parts that arent waiver protected, especially on defense. Yet Gudbrandson was still in demand? I wouldve thought they wouldve dealt some of their expansion picks for late draft picks- especially with the shortened season- lots of possible steals in the late rounds of this past draft and the next one.

Thread: Cant decide too much to little just right

If Eichel is ready to go then trading him is much easier, but assuming this isnt a ploy, and his new team allows him to get the surgery... he is missing a fair bit of time ( 10%- 50% of the season?) which means whomever is acquiring him is going to suck if they give up much off their roster- which most gms are loathe to do. If the Rangers did this for half a season of Eichel....does that pick become a top 5 lottery pick? because thats a big gamble to trade that away in a draft year that is loaded.
Georgiev to Buffalo makes sense though, Buffalos goaltending is awful and this would be a good upgrade.

Thread: Ryan Johansen Trade

No one is touching Johanssen without major sweetners and a large chunk of his salary retained. Especially a contender up against the cap like Toronto.

Forum: Trade Machine ProposalsSep 8 at 12:55

Thread: Josh Manson Trade

Manson is worth more, and why would SJ want him though? Not a good fit.
Manson will likely get moved at the deadline to a playoff team for young assets or picks.
If Weber is unable to come back (they should know more by then) then Montreal would be very probable.
