ARMCHAIR-GM TEAMS

Forum: Armchair-GM3 hours ago

Thread: please

Yuck with MDC on the line with Nelson and Beau. We need to sit Ross though. Third line needs to be Pageau and Bellows with either Komarov or Czarnik for now, and later in the year after Wahlstrom gets more time the middle six can be:

Beau-Nelson-Wahlstrom
Bellows-Pageau-Bailey

But that won't happen until probably 10-15 games into Wahlstrom getting comfortable.

Thread: Palmieri Deadline

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Isles777</b></div><div>If palmieri signed a 2 year extension (highly unlikely) I would be fine giving up a 1sf, but that’s not happening and these trades for top 6 F rentals rarely work out.

Oh totally agreed.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Isles777</b></div><div>That’s a lot to give up for a rental</div></div>

Agreed. I don't want to trade Wilde within the division, especially after losing Toews. We need all the organizational depth we can get. I'd happily give up a 1st and a lesser prospect or a 4th or something.

Thread: Realistic Deadline Adds

If you want Pelech, we'd have to do it around Nylander. I'm sure to Leaf fans that sounds hilarious, but Pelech has to be one of if not the best defensive defensemen in the NHL. Guys like him don't grow on trees.

Forum: Armchair-GMThu at 10:43 am

Thread: where is this going Mr Mel

I like it for NYI but I don't think Trotz will like Galchenyuk. But for just some organizational depth I'm into it. This would have to be done much closer to the deadline.

Thread: Without Bailey

Very unlikely we see Wahlstrom and Bellows in the lineup at the same time this early into the season.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Isles777</b></div><div>I like that 2nd line</div></div>

I do too. Interesting that Bellows has been playing RW.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>vr1995</b></div><div>i doubt it but sure</div></div>

Why would we give up 2/3 of our 2nd line, both of whom had monster playoffs, for a guy to play out of position?

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>truculence67</b></div><div>I don’t know about that.
Laine > pulock
Eberle > de melo

Picks could go either way though</div></div>

Your assessment is fair, but...

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Isles555</b></div><div>I’m obviously biased but pulock is an elite extremely underrated dman I have absolutely zero interest in moving him and especially not in this package tbh</div></div>

^This. We have no reason to trade Pulock, even for a guy like Laine (who I love). The only way we trade Pulock is if Dobson lights the world on fire (he looked great last night). Our defensive depth went from great to average this off-season. If we trade Pulock we're screwed.

Thread: Loading up with some good old prairie boys

Change DeMelo to Pionk, you add a 3rd, and I'd think about it.

Thread: Saturday Night

The chances of us seeing Bellows and Wahlstrom play on the same night, let alone the same line, this early in the season is not going to happen. Everyone should get that out of their heads until mid-February the earliest.

I don't know about swapping out Bellows and Wahlstrom just yet. Bellows looked really good last night. If anything, I'd swap Johnston for Komarov or Timashov.

Forum: Armchair-GMJan 14 at 4:44

Thread: Yandle but why

I mean if we trade him for Ladd+ not much else I'm into it. But agreed, we don't need Yandle.

Forum: Armchair-GMJan 14 at 10:38

Thread: Lets keep throwing away picks and prospects

No need for the 3rd. Straight up for Brown. Even that is overpayment from OTT.

Forum: Armchair-GMJan 14 at 10:37

Thread: Saving lou and trotz

Everyone is so hard on Leo. The guy is overpaid but he looked okay in the playoffs.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ForsbergForVezina</b></div><div>Tbh, I’m fine if they’re not both in the lineup at once. MDC or Komarov can play the other wing to start, that’s okay (NOT Johnston, which is probably who it’s gonna be). But if they both look good, I say move one up to 2RW and bump Bailey down.

I just don’t want Pageau babysitting, I know that’s kinda Trotz/Lou logic but I do think there’s some merit to it. Wahlstrom did seem defensively mature last time he was up; maybe he’s more complete than I think? I do agree with you and think both players have earned a look in the lineup. I just don’t know how it happens if they aren’t flanking Pageau on the 3rd line, which I don’t love.

Forgot Dal Colle was hurt, but the sentiment remains.</div></div>

I agree with everything here, but I'm fine with Johnston once in a while if they want to sacrifice some bottom-6 skill muscle.

Also you're forgetting Timashov.

Thread: Opening night lineup

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Isles777</b></div><div>Trots system is able to cover up for grinders with no skill. I would take timashov , wahlstrom, czarnik, and even MDC over johnston</div></div>

I agree, those guys would've been a better fit on the NHL roster right away as opposed to Bellows. Although I'm cool with Wahlstrom not starting right away and being a mid-season callup.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>AndrewLadd</b></div><div>I thought Timashov did sign, pretty sure he was in training camp the first day or two. I j don’t think it was made official yet, like Schneider</div></div>

He didn't sign yet, but he's on waivers today so he must have signed today.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>AndrewLadd</b></div><div>Injury maybe?</div></div>

Maybe, just weird he hasn't been signed yet. Same with Schneider. Maybe that'll change today.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Isles777</b></div><div>Ross has no hockey IQ. He can hit and fight, that’s it. Shouldn’t be on the 3rd line on a team that has playoff aspirations.</div></div>

I don't agree he has no hockey IQ, like I said he showed some abilities last year. But agreed, there's no reason for him to be on the third line. At least not full-time.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Isles777</b></div><div>Ross johnston shouldn’t be in the NHL though lol - isles already have Martin , cizikas, clutterbuck, and pageau who are all physical.

I don't know, Johnston showed he can play some hockey last year. But I agree we have better options. I wonder what's going on with Timashov.

You know, I don't advocate for any of this, but didn't the Flames do that with Michael Stone? I'm pretty sure they bought him out and then re-signed him.
