Thread: Draft day deal STL
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Chopper02</b></div><div>Fabbri is that good of a player. Think Ehlers with slightly less speed, but a lot more grit. The only question for Fabbri is health at this point</div></div>

Don't get me wrong, I like Fabbri, he's an excellent player. Had a terrific World Junior Championship. He just hasn't proven himself yet that he's as good as Ehlers. Whether he puts up the numbers this next season depends on his health and I think he can do it. Here's Fabbri's rookie season. Put up 37 points in 72 games, and Ehlers, 38 points in 82 games. The only exception after the fact, is Ehlers broke out for two 60 points plus seasons, and Fabbri's gone down and had injury issues. I'll say it again, I like Fabbri, I just want him to see him live up to his worth.

Thread: Krug for RNH
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Bcarlo25</b></div><div>Well, here's the thing, I thought the idea was to win a Stanley cup, not build a good lineup for fantasy hockey. Krug is horrible defensively. Trading him after a 59 point season is selling high, and buying low. The Leon comment is a joke. Krug and 5 first round picks for Leon? Maybe. They honestly probably still say no to that. Krug is a fraction of the player you make him out to be.....it's not all about points. Krug out and RNH in makes them far better.</div></div>

You're right about the Leon thing for sure, that's a stretch by a long shot. But I do think we all are underestimating the value of Krug, and I don't see Sweeney moving him any time soon. The way I see it, I don't see Krug moving anytime soon. What's your thoughts on that?

Thread: Vegas Golden Knights - Cup Winners?
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Ajp_18</b></div><div>I’ll be honest with you. Im from Portland and saw him play all year and he’s so not ready...he needs to make his decisions faster. The only reason Anderson wanted out was because he wasn’t getting played and this year he player almost twice as much as last year so I’m not sure if he still wants to leave. Also a player who holds out for more money doesn’t always want out of somewhere, don’t confuse that for losing his love for hockey(ROR). Also if I were to trade a good young power forward I’d probably want a high prospect and a pick or an older line up player. I’d be okay with a Tuch and a Colin Miller, I’d be willing to add Murray and Savard for Theodore and Nosek.

Anderson, Murray, Savard and a second to Vegas for Tuch, Miller and Theodore....

That might be a dream. Lol.</div></div>

Cool! Thanks for the insights on Cody Glass, maybe he has a fabulous off season training. Will find out sooner or later...

Thread: Your thoughts
You think Carl Grundstrom is the next Kyle Connor or Jack Roslovic? After injury issues this year it's more then likely he will spend his time in the AHL next season, for some seasoning. It might get there eventually but don't count on him until 2020-21. I like the Manson trade. As I can see the Leafs trying to pluck out one of the Ducks again, like they did with Freddy Anderson. But I don't think that that's what Annehiem would jump on for that trade. Your essentially trading an elite top 4 defense men for a bunch of 4th maybe 3rd liners, I don't think so. I don't see Frederik Gautieur happening next year either, but possibly mid season. The only way you really make a Manson trade happen w/o loosing players such as Kadri, Bozak, etc. Is to trade players such as Connor Brown along with your Manson trade. Something that would work out for both teams, as Bob Murray won't pounce on getting rid of Manson too easily. What I see though, for future, is Timothy Liljegren in that spot where Manson is in the next year or two. (Went 17th overall in 2017). Another thing I don't see happening is Dermott jumping from 3rd pair defense, to first that's a bit of a stretch, maybe 2nd pair, but that's all I give. Otherwise, I like what's happening here, and the Leafs have a good shot at cup next 5 years.

Thread: Jets
I don't mind your move for Jordie Benn, and Paul Byron, it makes sense coming from an edgy Marc Bergevin. If you could, make that trade a little more interesting! Pull out another Mikhail Sergachev from Montreal! What doesn't add up for me is getting rid of Bryan Little in that trade. There's not way you can get him (Little) to remove his no trade clause. After all he's one of the shut down centers for Winnipeg and not moving signed to 23-24. I'll ask you another question. Do you really think the Islanders are going to get rid of their young star in Josh Ho-Sang for an average goalie in Steve Mason? Yes, the Islanders need a future goalie, but there's no way they are going to hop onto his bad contract (Mason's). I don't see Mason ending up as the next Mike Smith goalie. I absolutely love the Anton Khdobun move! That's awesome! But I doubt it will happen, as he will be a part of Boston's future. I like the signing for Paul Stastny for 6 million, as that's how much he will be making when he does sign. Except, I don't see it with the Jets, as the Jets need to lock up players long term in Trouba, Morrissey, Laine, Lowry, and the list goes on. If Stastny does sign with Winnipeg it will be at a massive pay cut (somewhere around 2-4 million) which I don't see happening. It's more likely he signs with a team like Montreal, Vancouver, New Jersey, for the 6 million which he's valued at. Otherwise, I like the ideas here!
