Thread: WPG BOS (Trouba deal)
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ON3M4N</b></div><div>I'll get crucified by B's fans, but I do that deal for Trouba if he's coming with an extension and we're not giving up a 1st (maybe a 2nd + conditional 3rd that becomes another 2nd if he plays 70 games). Lining up McAvoy - Trouba - Carlo down the right side would have us set for 8-10 years. My concern with Trouba is he's failed to play over 65 games in 4 of his 5 seasons and more than 60 over the last two seasons.</div></div>

Won’t crucify you. Understand the logic. Personally i don’t like Donato and 1st in the deal. Been tossing around a scenario the last month of moving Backes to Preds or Vegas then trading Carlo/Heinen/Cehlarik to Jets for Trouba and Perreault. I think Backes would waive NMC for either, especially Preds. He’d be a big upgrade to their 3rd lines and locker room. They have the cap space. Jets get rid of a guy who leaves 1st chance he gets and a contract they don’t want. Get Trouba replacement, 2 young wings, lesser payroll. B’s upgade on D. Get 3rd line center to give the kids another year to develop.

Thread: Realistic off-season (with Tavares)
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Vanderm</b></div><div>Yikes. Just...yikes.

I think TOR plays ball, but they have their own salary situation to deal with (Nylander, Matthews, Marner), and Myers isn't cheap. Worth it, but not cheap. Dubas probably finds a way to make it work.

MTL plays ball. They've got picks to spare and then some, and Little probably slots in on the 2nd line.

NYI is the tightest one I think. Perreault is a guy they'd be very interested in adding to the middle 6. But it might require an extra 4th rounder or more to get them to move back to #25 from #12 (yes, they also have #11, but that gives them two great chances to scoop up any players that might slip down).

Well thought out.</div></div>

TO doesn't have salary concerns, at least not yet and they shouldn't if they stick to their plan. They have only reasonable contracts (Martin's isn't really good but it's not a big problem) and their core can be locked up for 8 years with little trouble. Teams who are in salary trouble, are ones who have guys in their mid to late 20's looking for huge contracts but they've used up their cap space on over priced roll players. The best way to build a winner? Stay the hell away from free agents. I do like the Myers trade, a 1st straight up, and then resign him for 4 years at 5 a piece or something like that. He's a good defenceman but he's not better than Rielly so he won't make more than he does.
