Thread: Oshie signing, Gally trade
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CD282</b></div><div>Nice upgrades. I have no idea if those assets are enough to net you Galchenyuk and Vatanen, but I like the result. This team should be pushing for a playoff spot for sure.

One change I would make to your lines would be to put Oshie and Hall together. I think they would compliment each other well.</div></div>

I think Montreal might take it if we trade a salary-retained Kovalchuk for Gally 1-for-1. I think the extra second pushes it a little too far considering there is no guarantee to how an older Kovy will play in his first season back in the NHL.

Vatanen, on the other hand, we would be giving way too little for here. No way Anaheim takes two middling "prospects" (if, at 24 years old, Lappin can be considered a prospect anymore) and a second round pick. I'm sure another team will most likely offer a good amount more than that, thereby driving the price up if we want to grab the young, promising defenseman.

Thread: What Happens in Vegas is Heard Around the League
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Smitty426</b></div><div><div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>synes7hesia</b></div><div>I don't see the Ducks losing Silf for nothing (more likely to be traded prior to the expansion draft), the Devils trading picks to get Stempniak back (trying to rebuild and bring in more youth or bring in a proven defenseman), or Dallas taking Dell without losing one of Niemi/Lehtonen first (both being signed through 2018).

Also, Honka is exempt from the expansion draft, so he's not leaving Dallas save for a decent trade, but I don't see Vegas being able to make that trade at this point.</div></div>

We will trade you a d man (for expansion-lovejoy, merill,) plus a pick (2-3rd) and a ExpExempt d man (jacobs, AuVee2, mozik) for to get Vats. You get player to expose, a pick for your troubles and a throw in D

We would also be interested in a similar deal for Silf</div></div>

I'm actually a Devils fan, but I'll let a Ducks fan know your offer if I ever meet one in person :)

Thread: Possible Blackhawks Next Season
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Rodzikhockey93</b></div><div><i><div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>synes7hesia</b></div><div><i>The Cammalleri trade is a bit lopsided in favor of the Hawks. Looking at the last few years, Cammy has been producing at about a 0.72 pts/gm pace while Hossa has been producing at a pace of about 0.70 pts/gm. So their average offensive production is roughly the same. Cammy is also 34 years old and is signed for 3 more years for $5m per year while Hossa is 37 and is signed for <strong>5</strong> more years at $5.275m per year. On top of that, you're looking to upgrade your 6th round pick to our 4th round? Devils would definitely decline this trade if only for the sake of not tying up $5m+ of salary for an additional 2 years for a player older than the one they're giving away who doesn't offer much more in terms of production.</i></div></div>

It is fair in both ways, because Hossa fits New Jersey's Defensive Style of Play... Cammaleri just needs a true #1 C to play with in order to achieve a productive year</i></div></div>

No it is not. Devils do <strong>NOT</strong> want a 37 year old forward for another 5 years with a higher cap hit than Cammy, regardless of play style. If anything, New Jersey is looking to get younger or shed high cap hit contracts for older players. If Cammy was traded, it wouldn't be for an older player being paid more money for a longer period of time and turning their 4th round pick into a 6th.

Thread: Blockbuster
No way Nashville parts with Fiala <em>and</em> Ellis for Kreider. Fiala is still a 20 year old prospect with a good amount of potential, and I think it would take a lot more going Nashville's way to get Fiala, even without Ellis included in the deal. Not to mention that Kreider is part of the reason Vesey came to NYR, why would you up and trade him right away?

On the TOR end, giving up JVR and Gardiner for a salary-retained streaky Nash, a decent but aging Klein, and decent D prospect McIlrath would just be bad asset management on their part and a steal for the Rangers. Gardiner is only 26 years old and is good for about 30 points per season along with being a pretty good 2nd pair defender. JVR is only a bit older, at 27, and is the Leafs' 1LW, If you think this trade seems fair to the Leafs for what they're giving up, you're crazy. This is more lopsided than the trade with Nashville.
