Thread: My custom roster
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NeedTheCleanser</b></div><div>Here’s the problem with the picks from MIN….

They’re going to be in the 20s and aren’t all that valuable. If Rasmus ristolainen is worth the 13th overall pick, th picks involved have to be high or replaced with an A level prospect, which is why I always come back to Rossi and Boldy having to be part of the deal.</div></div>

I wont be surprised if its one of them, plus a first (which as youve pointed out is likely in the 20s), plus fiala. This is enough to make both sides miserable, plus both front offices can secretly claim it as a win. If pegula says "eichel goes to the western conference", and nobody in the east is willing to part with anything of consequence, its probably not far off.

Thread: you gotta do it soon man
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mhroblak</b></div><div>I had only read that Drury turned down all packages involving Nils Lundkvist (good) and Braden Schneider (bad). I don’t see either of them in this trade though, so I’m not positive that he would turn down this offer.

It’s just early negotiations for Zibanejad. The $10m won’t be final. It’s probably going to be 6 years at around $9M. (Dumb side question, would that be a 9x6 or a 6x9? I’m genuinely not trying to be a comedian if the answer is the latter)</div></div>

I saw chytil, kravstov, lund/schn, and the first. Dont remember where. Theres no way the sabres are looking for a left handed d, so this makes at least some sense. Also saw that our owner absolutely wants him out west. Do what you like with that, we are where we are because the owner has been liberally "helping" the gms make decisions like this.

Thread: Hello Darkness My Old Friend
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GoodIdeaAtTheTime</b></div><div>Problem is the timing. Reinhart retained probably gets more than an undersized goalie prospect Florida doesn't care about and a 1st for a likely playoff team at the TDL. This isn't exactly selling high after a good year.

Sign him for 1 year for $8M and retain 50% at TDL when there is a bidding war and cost certainty. There's risk but it's less embarrassing than this deal. Just not good asset management.</div></div>

I agree that- worst case, you could have gotten at least this at the deadline. We are hoping that the pick is either pushed to 23 outright, or between picks 11 and 15. Chances are, if we are dealing him at the deadline to a playoff team, its in the 20s. And Florida already hedged their bets, the only way they get screwed is if the pick gets pushed and somehow becomes the Bedard pick. I guess what I would've wanted from this was a better forward prospect too, with or without the panthers 3rd ranked goalie prospect. Trying to be objective here, we got roughly what the rags got for buchnevich (unless you really like blais), its a return on a rental.
