Thread: I can feel it coming in the air tonight
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Lunatik</b></div><div>Tanev isn't the reason Calgary gives up more goals, he's been on the ice for considerably fewer ES goals than anyone else in their top 4, and if yoou honestly believe he "isn't what he used to be", you haven't actually watched him play, he hasn't fallen off at all.</div></div>

I think everyone gets hung up on rookie fever even though this draft isn't supposed to be nearly as deep as last year. Tanev is worth the late 1st, especially retained.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Juice</b></div><div>So...it's a weak draft...and a late first shouldn't be take as similar value to, say, a late first last year.

Do I want to give up a first for Tanev? No. But I can see it happening. This package is too rich...but maybe Tanev + some depth piece.

Or something like a 1st + 4th + ahl player for Tanev + 3rd

Hopefully treliving has a solid understanding of what Tanev wants on an extension...if that's not something he wants to commit to, I don't think he should give up a first for a rental.</div></div>

Flames should add a bottom 6 forward (Rooney, Duehr, etc) and Leafs should remove the 3rd and 5th

Thread: Lets Talk About Sharky
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Danz_10</b></div><div>I think you might have this wrong, as it seems like Sharangovich might be the player to build this around.

A young second liner with a fluid shot, who came from a skilled team is a solid asset. If they waited long enough on Zary, he's likely their top-line center. These players (Zary and Sharangovich) make a solid center duo, anchored by Backlund and Schwindt on the third and fourth lines.

To me (opinion), this says Calgary sees Kadri, Coleman, Markstrom and their potential UFAs on defense as their trade chips for a retool/rebuild with a fast transitioning. Adding a playmaker like Kuzmenko to Sharangovich might smooth things in the long-term.</div></div>

You're not wrong. Keeping him could be the best option.

Like <a href="/users/dgibb10" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">@dgibb10</a> said, the problem is the Flames signed him to a 2 year deal. So it comes down to a value proposition. Do you trade him at deadline or offseason to get value out of him? Do you hold and see if he continues the success and then pay him a ton of money and over a longer term? or if you hold him and he has a down season next year, you let him walk, but in the mean time, you didn't get anything for him and had him take a roster spot from a younger player who might have been able to show something.

Who knows

Thread: A new French Connection
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>slater417</b></div><div>It wouldn't. But the rangers will need young (read :cheap) talent to infuse their roster with a high end potential. Laf is going to be bridged, maybe even signed long term to a relatively cheap deal, anyone we move for laf will either be expensive (and can produce more than he does) or cheap (and produces less), so the rangers will need that high ceiling cheap player.
As much as laf and kakko haven't reached their potential per their draft profile, you can't entirely discount that as their ceiling still.</div></div>

I don’t think you’re assigning enough value to playoff type players and the impact they have. Completely understand that if Kakko and Laf hit their potential, it would be a huge boost. However, if they continue on the trajectory they are on, there would be a significant drop in value.
