Thread: OEL trade

Im not sold on Yamamoto yet, he finished strong- but hes tiny. Neal scores and has some grit to his game, but he is fading. Yam will likely be on the team for the full year- but not enough competition for his spot.
Archibald is a 4th liner on a good team, 3rd on an average one.
JP is a big enigma, most likely it will be for draft picks or other young players with lots of ???? to their name. Considering no one knows whats happening with the AHL next year, i would think most european players will stay home rather than sit somewhere not knowing if/when they can play. IF JP dominates in europe- that will facilitate a move, but right now hes not worth much on the trade block. the oil are best to wait a year.

Thread: What would it cost to move Eriksson?

the one saving grace with Eriksson- is the money actually owed is quite small, so while the caphit sux...youre not paying anywhere near that. If the canucks owners will bit the bullet- they could take Gaboriks almost $5mil contract off of them (the actual cost is approx. $1m before insurance) and if on LTIR the caphit doesnt hurt you. Erikssons last year only pays him like $1mil in his pocket- he might bolt back to Europe for that (probably earn just as much if not more). Eriksson would help Ottawa get to the cap floor (very few teams will be in that position this year). while saving the cheap ass owner some real cash.

sweeten it with a prospect or two : Gadjovich, Brisebois,Rafferty...or worse case Virtanen and a deal could be made.
With Eriksson gone, and assuming Ferland goes on LTIR..there cap issues arent terrible. Still likely have to move one or more of Sutter, Beagle,Baertschi, Roussel or even let Stecher go

Thread: OEL trade

If the Yotes wanted to dump Larsson- there would be much better offers than that pile of crap.
Not sold on Koskinen as a #1, and Reimer is pricey for a backup, doubt the Oil are interested.
Their best RW is Neal- that right side line up is awful- would be the worst in the league, and no way JP signs for $1mil with the oil

Thread: Top 10 Goalies IMO

Andersen in the top 10? nope, not even close.

Thread: Boeser Domi

Why would the Canucks trade for him to play center behind Petey and Bo? They already have Gaudette who is still learning and is fine as a 3rd liner. Boeser is a better winger than Domi is, so whatever sweetener is offered- it has to be better than Kulak, much better.

Thread: Minnesota Wild trade Matt Dumba to Vancouver Canucks for Brock Boeser

Canucks wont add a dman at that salary unless they lose Tanev, and even then I dont see them adding any large contracts. At best if they can retain Tanev, Markstrom and possibly Toffoli- they will. They have to dump a few pricier forwards and hope that the likes of Rafferty, Juolevi and Hoglander are ready for regular shifts.

Thread: Minnesota Wild signed Jonas Brodin (7 Years / $6,000,000 AAV)

So instead of leaving Brodin unprotected as an UFA (whom wouldnt be picked) now they are forced to deal a dman before the end of next season- or lose them for nothing.....doesnt make much sense from a protection from expansion sense. If they have a deal almost in place for Dumba....then okay.
As for the $ and term... seems high on both, there isnt a lot of money to spend this year- and with the possibility of empty stands for next season, revenues could plummet, and that would put pressure on the cap. Not to mention even if the cap stays flat, some teams will lower their budget just to keep the owners from bleeding too much cash.

Thread: Hire Me as General Manager

Who would hire an obvious drunk?

Clifford and Thornton signing for the minimum? wtf!
And why would a cap strapped team take Andersen at $5mil per as a back up?
Why would Columbus trade a good young and cheap goaltender for a 3rd liner and two mid/late 2nds?
The 3rd and 4th lines are absolute crap (as well as unrealistic) while the D is much better- I dont see Alex leaving St.Louis

Forum: Armchair-GMAug 19 at 2:44

Thread: Would this work

Not sure if Martin would sign in TO, and for that little- but they Leafs need more grit (and cheaply).

The Larsson trade works for both teams, Edm. overpaid for him, but with Broberg and Bouchard coming- they can afford to move him, a 3rd might get it done...but might need a little sweetner.

Torts would have an anyeurism if they traded Jones, his value goes far beyond what the stats show, as valuable as Marner would be.... a top pairing dman is hard to replace.

Forum: Armchair-GMAug 19 at 2:36

Thread: Eichel Trade

Trading Eichel for a grab bag of wingers and picks isnt what the Sabres need. If they trade him (highly doubt it) they have to get a young center back. Eichel is their star- they need him to sell hope/tickets, Forsberg and Arvidsson dont do that.

From the Nashville side....they would have zero depth upfront- and only 7 forwards with any real NHL experience- and that includes Grimaldi and Watson and Sissons whom you ideally would want on your 4th line, and definitely not in your top 6.

Forum: Armchair-GMAug 19 at 2:25

Thread: Big Trade with the Blues

I dont see Parayko being moved, especially if Pietrangelo is still a free agent. If the Blues move Allen- its to free up cap room wasted on a backup, Andersen isnt cheap, so that doesnt solve that problem at all. This solves a few problems for the Leafs- but seriously screws the Blues. They need Parayko much more than they need a $10mil Marner or a $5mil back up.

Forum: Armchair-GMAug 19 at 2:19

Thread: after yesterday perfomance

why would the nucks give up Virtanen to sign Gallagher- when they could just resign Toffoli for nothing? Not to mention losing Gallagher and replacing him with Turris is a major downgrade.

Mete will be signing for a lot more than 1.6mil...even with the cap being static.

Thread: Toronto Maple Leafs signed Jake Muzzin (4 Years / $5,625,000 AAV)

'The dude just turned 30 ... maybe you should chill with assuming he'll be an "anchor" by 32.

Some people man.'

He just turned 31. So at 33..... a good chance this contract isnt that great, and on a cap stretched team- any overpay on a depreciating asset- is an anchor.

some people man

Thread: Toronto Maple Leafs signed Jake Muzzin (4 Years / $5,625,000 AAV)

Fair value year #1
slight overpay #2
Anchor year#3,4.

doesnt help their cap issues, still have to fix their roster make up, and deal some of their high priced forwards to improve their D corps.

Thread: (CAR/FLA) - Haula, Wallmark, Priskie, Luostarinen for Trocheck

Carolina wins this in the short term, but if Priskie makes it and either Wallmark or Luostarinen develop into something more than 4th liners/spare parts...this could swing for Florida.

Really surprised Carolina didnt go after a goalie....somehow Vegas snagged Lehner?

Thread: I like jim Benning

So Vancouver gets a BIG downgrade in picks, a dman whose playing like **** and isnt likely to come cheap, for a budding powerforward on his way to 20+ goals (that TO cant afford to sign) and a good prospect. Why didnt you have the Nucks throw in Demko and Boeser too?

Forum: NHL SigningsFeb 12 at 2:51

Thread: Toronto Maple Leafs signed Pierre Engvall (2 Years / $1,250,000 AAV)

This will look like a great deal assuming he can fit on the 3rd line (very good chance) once they move another pricier forward out for a dman.

Thread: Bergy needs to make a move in order to go deep

No where near enough for Hall, even if he declared he wouldnt resign with NJ.

Hall will be looking for $9mil + (probably north of 10mil) and most teams wont trade without a deal in place- and wont have the cap room without sending back some salary, or have lots of expiring contracts they wont be replacing.

Julsen isnt worth much, and the draft pick would be a later 1st rounder...not much there for NJ.

Thread: Arizona Coyotes signed Darcy Kuemper (2 Years / $4,500,000 AAV)

Kuemper had good numbers last year, it would be a stretch to say hes a proven #1. The fact they already have Raanta signed is an issue. The idea that a tandem works where the work and salary is split close to 50/50 has not been proven(starters have lost their jobs to up and comers- but they werent paid like starters, nor expected to split duties). It didnt work with Dallas (Lehtonen/Niemi), NYI (Greiss/Halak/then Lehner) nor the multiple times the Flyers and Blues have tried it. While the cap hit for goalies for Arizona is only 6.8 this year- it jumps to 9.4 next year, if it was affective this season- that would put them #2 (behind Boston-9.75m) in goalie costs among the top cup contenders ( Bos. Dall . Vegas, TBay, Wash, Colo, Tor, St.L, Pit) .
If they were to move Raanta, or figured he was to spend most if not all season on the LTIR- then this would be an ok back-up plan (pun intended). They do have two good prospects in net: Adin Hill and Ivan Prosvetov ( a few years away for Ivan).

Thread: New York Rangers signed Brendan Lemieux (1 Year / $925,000 AAV)

Great signing, could move up the depth charts.

Smith will likely be sent to the minors, Namestnikov is on the block, but not sure how many teams are looking to spend that much $$$$. If there are no other forward injuries- he could be sent down too- even if its only temporary to get under the cap. He could turn his career around quickly..but not sure how long the Rangers can wait.

Thread: Calgary Flames signed Michael Stone (1 Year / $700,000 AAV)

this further taints the Luongo recapture penalty debacle. How something legal for 4 years is then changed and punished while these shenanigans by Calgary and the Orpik deal are allowed. Hell even the penalty Jersey was supposed to pay for Kovalchuk was drastically reduced (and kept secret for a year-before it became public).

Thread: San Jose Sharks signed Joe Thornton (1 Year / $2,000,000 AAV)

16 goals, 51pts for $2mil? thats a steal! The sharks lack depth, and this helps greatly, otherwise Goodrow (7g,17pts) is your 3rd line center. They dont have many top prospects up front, so let them earn it. Gambrell is the only one who played pro last year- still plenty of ice time for him.

Thread: Los Angeles Kings signed Jack Campbell (2 Years / $1,650,000 AAV)

Quicks contract isnt very attractive, especially when he cant stay healthy. His numbers last year were awful. At 33- they should let him go, hope that one of Peterson or Campbell can step up. Campbells contract is pretty good value for a backup with decent numbers. Playing in front of that defense cant be easy (and its only going to look worse without Muzzin for the whole year).

Thread: Arizona Coyotes signed Clayton Keller (8 Years / $7,150,000 AAV)

Big gamble on Arizonas part, if he doesnt progress...this is an albatross of a deal. 14 goals warrants a $7mil plus longterm deal? Hinostroza got 19. Hell Vancouver let Granlund walk for nothing and he got 12! only to be signed for peanuts by Edmonton. Two years ago Granlund got 19 despite missing a dozen games, it looked like he had arrived and could be a 25+ goal scorer, not all players progress. Arizona is making some bold moves contract wise that could cripple them for years.

Thread: New York Islanders signed Anthony Beauvillier (2 Years / $2,100,000 AAV)

this is a great deal for the Islanders....for 2 years, then it turns to crap. Theyre going to wish they had signed him for a lot longer, and more money. Colin White got paid twice as much, and is a better player than him now.
