Thread: If We Had Hit On The 2015 and 2017 Drafts
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>wingss</b></div><div>Yea, but in the top 10 you've gotta do better than for sure NHLer IMO, you've just gotta. With all these advanced statics and how far scouting has come, you've can't afford to mess these high picks up. I like Ras and he's having a pretty good 2nd year pro so there's reasons to be hopeful but I don't think he'll ever live up to 9th overall.</div></div>

Look at the drafts, unless its a ridiculously good draft, their are usually around 3 or 4 players picked in the top 10 that don't end up being studs but just end up being decent NHLers. Ras might not be the 2C guy we need but he still has a chance to be a very good piece for us down the road. That 2017 draft is pretty bad, I mean look at who went 1 and 2. Id be way more pissed if I was NJ or PHI to be honest, but thats just shows you how unpredictable the draft can be.

Thread: maybe next season
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Billy739</b></div><div>that's your point you made very intelligently .
thanks for that by the way its appreciated .

That being said calling Mantha a 30 goal scorer is like me calling Domi a 30 goal scorer
its simply not based on fact despite coming really close they didnt hit it .

Players Value is based on what they have done otherwise Gallagher would be a 40 goal player if he didnt bust up his right hand 3 times inside 12 months over 2 seasons . But he's not despite the fact he could have been .

See how much easier it is when people contribute intelligently ?</div></div>

I'm honored to be even be able to post a comment in the same thread as a genius like you, your intelligence level is just too high for the armchair GM community. If i may, let me at least try to articulate a thought that can reach your level of thinking. Larkin for Mcdavid is a fair value trade.

Thread: Leafs Next Year Big Moves
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TMLBRIAN</b></div><div>Out of the 3 - 11 million guys. Marner is the most likely to go. Still not probable. Their other option is Willie but his contract is a lot more manageable.

The reason Bracco gets a shot on that line is because he is a good playmaker who can set up JT. That line definitely gets weaker. But our defence gets much better.

Both the Dumba trade and Pietroangelo signings are low probability. But we are here to try out different things and play with the cap.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TMLBRIAN</b></div><div>Dumba for Nylander 1 for 1 could definitely be an interesting "hockey trade".

Marner has more market value than Nylander. Even with his contract. Nylander is still worth quite a bit.</div></div>

There a zero percent chance you get Dumba for Nylander. if Nylander could of got a top pair or even proven top 4 dman then they would have just kept Kadri instead, saved 3 mil on the cap, idk maybe to have room to sign an effin back up goaltender. Kadri brings way more of a complete game and hes locked up on one of the better value deals. Dubas even said during the offseason that it became pretty clear that Kadri was the only way they were gonna make a legit trade for a dman.

Thread: No Confidence
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>aedoran</b></div><div>Montreal isn't giving up Romanov to get rid of Alzner. Ottawa is in the same situation they aren't going to pay us for taking cap they need to make the salary floor. Carolina isn't going to pay that much for AA. I don't think Bowey gets moved because of the expansion draft yes we can protect players but you also have so many players unprotected that meet certain requirements.</div></div>

I agree with your first 2 points, but I don’t see Yzerman keeping around a trash can like Bowey. For the expansion draft you only need 1 defenseman that meets a specific requirements. DK will meet those, but I think there is a chance they will protect him, so with Ericsson, Green, Daley coming off the books Stevie will have room to sign a serviceable Vet or 2 that meet those requirements or make a trade. I just don’t think Stevie is the kind of GM to keep some trash can around just for the sake of those requirements, I think he will find another way. That’s just my opinion, and what I hope happens because I hate watching Bowey be awful defensively night in and night out. I don’t care if he puts up some points, he’s bad

Thread: Lotto Luck
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>aedoran</b></div><div>Yzerman didn't give up a good D prospect (ranked #9 on Detroit's prospect list) for Perlini to turn around and trade him to Pittsburgh for their 3rd round pick in 2021 draft.

With the Helm trade I think it works much better if you do this:

Edmonton gets Helm
and
Detroit gets Gagner and a 4th.

That way Edmonton gets Helm without Detroit having to retain any salary. Since Gagner's contract is up at the end of the season Detroit opens a roster spot a season early and a 4th round pick. I think that works let me know what you think about that.</div></div>

Regula had no future with the Wings with Hronek and Seider on that right side. If he makes it to NHL, I don't think he turns into anything more than a depth defenseman who is solid in his own zone. If Perlini doesn't really prove he's worth a roster spot, Yzerman will get rid of him. It was small risk move with decent upside, if it doesn't work out its not a big deal because it was worth the gamble
