Thread: Canes could have been the greatest team built in post 2000s

You could do this with lots of teams plus that goaltending is way too weak for your statement to be considered accurate.

Thread: San Jose Sharks signed Radim Simek (4 Years / $2,250,000 AAV)

This is a good signing. Simek is a decent defensive defenceman and has good chemistry with Burns.

Thread: Tampa Bay Lightning signed Zach Bogosian (1 Year / $1,300,000 AAV)

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>willdog37</b></div><div>Wow he got that much to be a depth defenseman for 1/4 of the season? Seriously?</div></div>

No, the contract is prorated. He gets much less, but the cap hit is larger because he signed during the season.

Bogosian will make ~290k with Tampa

Thread: Could this net Brodin

Friedman said on his 31 thoughts pod this week that the asking price for Brodin is very high, potentially higher than Dumba, because defensemen like Brodin are becoming rarer (ie true shutdown defensive defensemen).

Don't think you get Brodin without a first if you aren't offering the Wild a very very good Centre prospect

Thread: (TOR/FLA) - Marchment for Malgin

Florida: We’re in the middle of a playoff race with the rest of the Atlantic division, but we’re willing to trade a Forward because we really need help on defence

Also Florida: how about we clearly downgrade our forward group while getting no help on D and help out one of our main rivals for a playoff spot

Not sure I follow Tallon’s logic on this one, unless this is just the first domino for future trades

Thread: A question

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BurgerBoss</b></div><div>Fine, that's acceptable.

Problem is that had I actually asked this question in this forum, the chances of getting responses to the question gets much, much smaller, because it's very likely that no one but COL fans are reading that post. Probably not even them,

The latest post in this forum was from a month ago. These team-forums are very rarely used - unfortunately if I may add. This is why people tend to use the AGM forum for these questions, as it reaches a lot more people - and likely the people that know the answer to the question.</div></div>

I completely understand your reasoning. Our hope is that by keeping these kind of threads off the AGM page and making sure to note why, it will migrate traffic over to other forums. It's the same reason why AGM threads that announce a trade are deleted: there is a relevant trade forum that is officially updated with all the trade details and serves as a discussion point. Also, please do not take my thread of further action personally. Again, I am putting it out there in the hopes that it will discourage others from creating off-topic AGM posts.

You'll also notice a new warning that pops up when you try to publish an AGM team that reminds people of the AGM forum rules. Hopefully that will also help.

Thread: Leafs still need a goalie Chicago

This thread has turned into nothing but trolling and flaming. I am closing the thread but keeping it up in the hopes it serves as a warning for everyone on the site that such discussions are not acceptable. I have already issues warnings for inappropriate comments: consider this a final warning before stronger infractions are issued.

Please keep discussions on topic and civil. If someone is flaming and/or trolling, report their comment to the moderators and do not engage with flaming or trolling yourself.

Do not create an AGM for such a discussion. In future, post in the NYI/appropriate team's forum.

Thread: A question

DO not ask these types of questions using an AGM thread. There are forums created specifically created for discussions/questions such as this. I'm moving this thread. In future, off-topic AGM threads will be met with a warning or infraction.

Thread: (MTL/STL) - Scandella for 2020 2nd round pick and 2021 conditional 4th round pick

Steep price but I don't think STL was looking into getting D at the deadline until the unfortunate Bouwmeester incident happened. They were apparently in on Dillon too.

Nice return for the Habs, turning their 4th into a 2nd (and potentially another 4th)

Thread: Hayes return for Kreider

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>moli92</b></div><div>I still dont think Kreider is worth a 1st without an extension</div></div>

That's how I felt at the end of the season last year with Hayes. But I also feel the Avs are much better contenders than the 18/19 Jets so Sakic probably feels it's worth taking a swing

Forum: Armchair-GMFeb 18 at 3:38

Thread: Hayes return for Kreider

This is basically the Av's equivalent of the deal the Jets pulled off last year to get Hayes. There was also a conditional 4th if the Jets won the Cup (weird draft pick to get from a Cup winner lol).

If the Avs offer this the Rangers should accept. Could see Sakic & Gorton haggling more until the deadline but this trade should do it

Forum: NHL TradesFeb 18 at 2:27

Thread: (OTT/WPG) - DeMelo for 2020 3rd round pick

I really like this trade for the Jets. I thought Demelo would cost a lot more especially in light of Andy Greene costing the Isles a 2nd + prospect. Excited to see Demlo play for WPG soon!

Forum: Armchair-GMFeb 18 at 12:55

Thread: Deadline Moves

Forbort is an interesting alternative to Martinez. No idea of his value but seems low only when compared to the price for Greene

IDK about the value of Tierney either but I feel as an RFA it might cost a first, especially if Ottawa trades Pageau away. Tierney would be interesting, is the long-term thinking that you'd want to run Scheif/Little/Lowry/Tierney down the middle in some order?

Forum: Armchair-GMFeb 18 at 10:23

Thread: Domi Martinez

That's too high a price to give up for Martinez, imo. I wouldn't be comfortable giving up both Niku and Stanley in the same trade unless it was for a much younger D with term.

Forum: Armchair-GMFeb 17 at 12:35

Thread: Massive Sell-Off

Jets won't part with Roslovic for anything other than a Top-4 D with term. Maybe as part of a larger package to net a 2C (again with term).

Forum: Armchair-GMFeb 17 at 12:31

Thread: chevy at work

Severson is going to cost a lot more than that unfortunately. I expect NJ to demand a 1st + either Vesalainen or Niku/Roslovic. Look at what they got for 37 year old Andy Greene and Blake Coleman who only has 1.5 years left.

Forum: NHL TradesFeb 16 at 8:18

Thread: (NJD/TBL) - Coleman for Foote and 2020 1st round pick

Tampa paying the price for that extra year of Coleman. He's a good player but it's a steep price.

Thread: Burns to DAL and COL gets a couple of HOFers

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>coga16</b></div><div>I didnt think it was like that, thought it only expanded to a 25 man roster after the deadline is done.
When does it expand?</div></div>

It's an unlimited number of players. It kicks in <strong>on</strong> trade deadline day, so February 24 this season.

Teams have to remain cap compliant by the end of the year. What you see sometimes is a team goes over the cap on a daily basis after the deadline, but because they've banked enough space, they remain cap compliant by the end of the year. E.g. the Jets last year <a href="https://www.capfriendly.com/teams/jets/cap-tracker/chart/2019">https://www.capfriendly.com/teams/jets/cap-tracker/chart/2019</a>

Thread: (NJD/NYI) - Greene for Quenneville and a 2020 2nd RD pick (NYI)

This is quite a steep price but everyone always wants to add defence. You have to think that players like Dillon, Martinez and Vatanen are going to require either firsts or big prospects. Only good thing for the Isles is that the pick isn't until 2021, not this year's draft which is supposed to be very deep. Nice trade for NJ.

Thread: (NJD/NYI) - Greene for Quenneville and a 2020 2nd RD pick (NYI)

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>rangersandislesfan</b></div><div>I don't like this deal as an Isles fan. I think we gave up too much and we have less cap space to acquire a bigger name player.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>pinslack</b></div><div>Greene has untangible value because of his leadership. Still, that sets a high price for rentals (at least at defense)

Suprise to see NYI get a leader at defense instead of using cap space for a foward</div></div>

Greene will only cost the Isles ~1.3 million against the cap, and the Isles are projected to have ~17 million in space at the deadline. The team can still go out and get another forward if they want.

Thread: Burns to DAL and COL gets a couple of HOFers

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>coga16</b></div><div>they dont have anyone who is waiver exempt, cant straight add without moving rosters out or putting someone on waivers</div></div>

But if this trade was made at the deadline there would be no need, since you have have as many players as you want as long as you remain cap compliant

Forum: Armchair-GMFeb 16 at 3:32

Thread: Burns to DAL and COL gets a couple of HOFers

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>coga16</b></div><div>Avs would probably only be able to take on Thorton with how their contract situation is on with the NHL roster and probably would have to look at Nieto being part of the deal just to make it work.

Avs just cant absorb NHL contracts without other moves, cant see them doing multiple just to fit in those guys. With how sakic does thing, I would think he would only be talking the sharks about Labanc and looking at packing up Jost to get him. Dont see him picking up multiple rentals</div></div>

Colorado has $30 million in cap space at the TDL, they only have 46 contracts, and there are no roster limits after the trade deadline. No reason they couldn't make this deal

Thread: west coast trade deadline

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MisstheWhalers</b></div><div>Losing your 2nd and 3rd round picks in a good draft is a bad idea especially for a crappy team like the Jets, they're going nowhere this season.

Acquiring Martinez is a bad idea, he's just a waste of $4M next season and I know M.Karlsson is apparently a really good PK player but the Jets PK sucks cause the system/strategy they use is very passive, I doubt he'd help it much.

This organization made a massive mistake extending
Maurice.</div></div>

I think Martinez would be a useful stop-gap in the Top 4 next year, a veteran behind Morrissey is a good idea imo.
