Thread: Pull a Kucherov

Ah I love a good Leafs fan proposed team. Let's just throw players at rebuilding teams that really wouldn't help them in the near time OR the future lol

Traditional quantity over quality trades -> cracks me up everytime

Thread: Dreams

Probably not enough for PHI, nice package, but they somehow might want a solid NHLer included (Kunin or Trenin or Lauzon) or a 2nd or....

Thread: Huge Caniac

For the most part your trades are actually fairly realistic and spot on value-wise, so kudos to you :)

The first trade is pretty good as value...until you see the amount of retention. A team like the Flyers can't afford to retain that much, as this season (like all seasons) they are going to be spending to the cap.

No comments on the TBL trade, it's pretty good and probably what the TBL will get for Killorn, and Killorn in probably the most likely player to be dealt from that team.

The third trade is very solid as far as value goes, except for the part where the Canucks are the ones to retain the salary. The Canucks cannot afford to retain anything as (just like the Flyers) they are going to be spending to the cap already. I think if you change the Canucks to another team (such as the Predators, NJD, or CBJ) the trade is solid.

Thread: Same goal Different Strategy

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Sagecoll</b></div><div>Stretching the dollar pretty far there. Difference in cap is less then the league minimum, age difference is one year. Laughton's injury history honestly puts a damper on both of those. And the only scoring he's doing at a better rate is on secondary assists simply by being on the ice with Konecny and JVR and Lindblom as opposed to say Kevin Rooney.

They're pretty close.</div></div>

If they're that close, just keep Goodrow then.
A one-for-one swap of Lindgren for Sanheim makes more sense anyways, although the Flyers would likely decline it

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>RoyalBlueSabres</b></div><div>That's a ridiculous price to spend for Ellis</div></div>

In all honesty, I really struggled trying to balance the trade. Each set up I put in just felt off for some reason. On one hand I was trying to value him closer to what he was, on the other I was trying to value him for this last season (which you can’t really do). I also had a bit of a rough go with Mittlestadt, he’s a weird situation to tackle

*Edit: Tried to lower it. How do we feel now with it?

I don't think Philadelphia is THAT desperate to get rid of the last year of van Riemsdyk or acquire one year of J. T. Miller.

Sanheim is a very good d man Flyers say no. Fiala's numbers will not be the same away from Kaprizov and he's gonna want major $$$$'s.

Thread: Realistic Moves

If the Leafs traded Nylander (which IMO Is a mistake) they would want to improve the quality of their team for the upcoming season. They definitely don't do that here. I'm not certain they're looking for prospects or draft picks (especially draft picks two years away, where a player may not be ready for the NHL until 2027ish). I am not going to say the value is horrible, I just don't think that deal works from the Leafs perspective.

Thread: What needs to happen to make these fair

If Fletcher trades Sanhiem and TK for Miller and a 3rd he better be fired on the spot.
When Miller was TK’s age they had nearly identical stats… TK is still growing… now he doesn’t have a terrible coach dragging him down. He will get better…

Sanhiem I’d argue alone is worth Miller

Thread: Oilers get a bottom RD

Can't see PHI taking on Kassian for 2 more years at 3.2
They're moving guys for prospects and picks. If they have to take on a salary to make things work, it will be an expiring contract.

Thread: Selling With tampa bay just for fun

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Caniac2000</b></div><div>I think you've got a lot of the destinations wrong in these trades. For example, Carolina would likely have more interest in Hedman than Stamkos.

Philadelphia just aren't going to be buying at this deadline.

Nashville are incredibly unlikely to be buying at this deadline.

you see where I''m going with this?</div></div>

i think the fact hes trading the core of the roster of a b2b cup winning team and the words just for fun right in the title makes the point of this acgm pretty obvious

Seeing as how Yandle shouldn’t be worth more than a 7th round pick, Philly takes this and runs with it

Thread: Make DC Great Again

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>smkruzik</b></div><div>Flyers will take that. Agreed.

Though you make a BIG mistake putting Braun on the top D-pair. He's been exposed in Philly due to his age. With Ellis in, Braun would be a 4-6 guy which makes him perfect for what you need in terms of depth, but with Ellis out, he's been forced to be a top 2 d-man playing 20+ minutes a game. You're going to get fatigue and a drop off in production.

The deal still works for the Caps if Braun is put in a 4-6 role where he doesn't need to play any more than 15 minutes a night.</div></div>

thats fine you can drop him down with MF... Orlov and Jensen look fine... we just need someone to take D zone draws bc Carlson sucks

That is a Meh for the Flyers. We dont want Barrie and those picks are useless. At the trade deadline RISTO would get more than that if he isn't signed.

A #1 PICK, TOP PROSPECT (more than likely a RH DMAN) and maybe another player will be the return for Giroux alone. If you add Braun or Risto the price goes higher.

They would have to pay the rival tax. Any Giroux to Rangers trade would have to be an overpay like this.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Skull_King</b></div><div>Big overpayment</div></div>

More like an underpayment from the Flyers perspective. They dont want Haula or Moore, the dman is probably a career AHL player and the Flyers alone will get a #1 pick IF Giroux is even traded. Risto a RH Dman will get more at trade deadline IF traded.
