Goalie carosel COL cap dump NJD toughens up BOS reloads
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>tupty</b></div><div>I agree he's kind of falling apart, but to the point that dgibb10 is making, they are misusing him by running him into the ground. Goaltending is high variance, so I'd expect him to improve over how he is performing right now at some point. In my opinion, you are over-exaggerating how bad he is relative to the rest of the league, but I acknowledge he isn't a top-tier goalie. If you want to spend top-tier assets on Saros or Ullmark, or if you want to gamble on a vet with term like Gibson or Markstrom, then those are both valid strategies. If you think the fit is bad, so be it, but I don't really buy that this trade proposal has bad <em>value</em> for the Devils. Also, the UFA goalie market looks pretty bleak... Stolarz, Samsonov, and Nedeljkovic are probably the best available. Do you trust any of those guys more than Georgiev, and do you think any of them will cost notably less than his 3.4m?
If you sign the two guys you have now and platoon them, don't be surprised to see some turnover in the front office within the next 2 years. If I am Fitz, I am not taking that risk.</div></div>
I would be very disappointed if Fitzgerald puts his own job security over the team's success.
If Fitz brings back Kahkonen/Allen/Schmid/Daws, but uses the assets instead to build a high quality dcore and bottom 6, I'd be much happier than if he paid for a "top goalie" and didn't fix our bottom 6 and find an LD.
I'd rather have Marcus Pettersson and Kaapo Kahkonen than Kevin Bahl and Jacob Markstrom

Goalie carosel COL cap dump NJD toughens up BOS reloads
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>tupty</b></div><div>Call me a cynic, but I think every GM operates like this. Its only human nature to want to show that you can succeed in a job if you are just given the opportunity. Fortunately, they don't start making wild moves unless they are desperately trying to save their job or they are going all in (likely with ownership approval). However, I do think that one of the things that most GMs are doing is trying to minimize <em>risk</em>. I thin Kahkonen and Allen are both pretty safe to call at least 1B level, and Schmid and Daws are both arguably still unknowns. I think that running back those 4 does not minimize risk. Trading away a big package for a Markstrom doesn't minimize risk either, but anyway, onto your next point.
This is completely valid and I glossed over it. A sound D corps has way less variance than any goalie. I agree that I'd rather have a solid D corps and a middling solution in net than the other way around. This is exactly the reason why I never bought those "wOn ThE cUp WiTh AiDeN hIlL" arguments that I saw around many fanbases for justifying questionable goaltending this year. Those arguments completely ignored how excellent the Vegas D corps and the coach's defensive system were.</div></div>
For NJD it was justifiable last year with Luke,Hamilton,Graves,Severson,Marino,Siegs was an excellent dcore
I expected a step back this year going from Severson-Graves to Luke-Nemec. Funny enough imo Luke-Nemec were overall better than Severson-Graves were (not defensively, but overall) and the loss of Hamilton, and the absolute disappointments of seasons from Bahl Marino and Siegs were the problem.
I still believe in building an elite DCore over overpaying for a volatile goalie.
I'd go after some of the vegas dman, go after some of the carolina dmen, go after pettersson, go after Gavrikov (he could be a bargain cap casualty if he's willing to waive).

Colorado incoming cap crunch
Landy had been playing hurt for two seasons BEFORE missing two more seasons. He looked very weak skating recently. If he does come back, I can't see how he'd be effective over a full 82 game season. I think he just retires, but the Avs could always stash him on LTIR all season in hopes he builds up enough strength for one last playoff run. I could also see him start on LTIR & then activate halfway thru & the Avs would trade one of: Manson, Colton, or Girard.
CMac will likely round out this roster with three league minimim deals in: Malinski, Behrens, & Kovalenko, instead of Walker, Stetcher & Drouin. Therefore I don't see them having to move out more than one guy to fit Captain.
As for an Ullmark trade, value comp is a 1st & possibly one minor asset (Foudy, etc). They got Kuemper for a 1st straight up. They probably wouldn't need retention, given the cheap contracts mentioned above. Boston could certainly take Georgiev & Manson, or they could be sent elsewhere. Ritchie is their #1 prospect & has far exceeded expectations, so he wouldn't be included for a pure rental. Swap Ritchie with a 1st, remove retention, & that's a good fit for both teams IMO.

if the 63 - 13 - 74 line can figure out their game, then yes. But I don't remember the last time they had a good game.
I think it goes 7 games, especially if there is only one line scoring for the B's. Either way, this was always a "transition" year. So whatever happens, happens.

Colorado incoming cap crunch
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>tupty</b></div><div>Fair enough. There may not be a trade that makes sense, because the Avs only have so many assets that the Bruins covet and you all might not see Ullmark as worth those particular assets. Two questions before the proposal dies though:
Do you agree the Avs need to move out salary? Which contracts are most likely to be moved?
Take out the cap dump from the equation and pretend you have all of your picks, but assume yoh are still crunched for cap space. Roughly speaking, what value would you place on an Ullmark for Georgiev swap with retention on Ullmark to make the money match?</div></div>
Yes, the Avs will need to move out salary. I don't see them signing Walker, Drouin may well have played himself out of Colorado unless he takes a very low end deal to stay and play with MacKinnon. Trenin would be the only one of the 'deadline deals' I would want the Avs to keep personally. The four most likely to be moved would be Colton, Manson, Girard & Lehkonen imo. The problem is viewing any of those as a cap dump when all have value. It isn't simply a case of dumping the salary of a bad player in this instance it's cap space. Therefore they still have value though the Avs may not get full value for them.
Ritchie is almost certainly off the table in this scenario as well. He could well be on the roster within the current Avs window.
Ullmark simply isn't worth it for the Avs. Even with retention. Georgiev's cap hit is 3.4 and the most he would be likely to get as a raise would be 5 in my opinion (and that is banking on a return to better form next year). Retaining on Ullmark only brings it down for next year and then he needs to be re-signed and whilst the Avs would be paying him 3.4 in this scenario, he's still a 5 mil goalie looking for a raise at that point. Would be terrible asset management by the Avs.
There's simply no deal to be done here imo. Nothing in this helps the Avs, only the Bruins.

Quack like a duck
Of those five players, we have absolutely no interest in three of them, and we'd want Jeremy Swayman only if we traded John Gibson. The point is moot anyway because there's no chance that Boston is putting Swayman on the market. As to the fifth player, there IS a possibility that we might exchange Urho Vaakanainen for Andrew Peeke, depending upon how well Peeke looks in the playoffs. But then, why would you be trading him?
If we're adding a free-agent forward I hope that it's not a $3 million 30-year-old fourth-liner.
Reports that Trevor Zegras is on the market have been greatly exaggerated, almost as much as those reports of Mark Twain's death. If we WERE going to move him, the starting point would be a first-round draft pick and an A prospect or young roster player like Fabian Lysell.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>tupty</b></div><div>My idea here was not to give NJ a couple of all stars, but rather to make the value on the deal excellent while hopefully letting them improve. I'm glad someone else at least sees that it is a good value. I'm honestly not sure about the fit though... agreed with the previous commenter that toughness would be better served on LD so that Nemec can stay up in the everyday lineup. Brenden Dillon might be a good option for a short term deal, but he'll be much more expensive than what I put for Manson here.</div></div>
Yeah I'd prefer to have an LD but I'm sure in this case we could swap marino for an LD like samuelsson from Buffalo or Chychrun from Ottawa or something like that. I don't think it would be hard to find someone to sell us an LD for a RD.
Value is imo a fleece for NJD. Retention factor is huge. I think with that retention, NJD may need to add a 2025 1st instead of our 3rd. At the very least both of our 2nds in 2025 to pay for the retention.
I would do Daws+2nd+2nd for Georgiev+50% retained Manson. Move out marino to a team desperate for a RD (either for an LD or for assets and then go after an LD in UFA). Would probably be more fair for boston

Vegas 20242025 keep Marchessault no major trades
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mokumboi</b></div><div>Guys, it's right here on this site. As things stand Vegas will have 2.3M to sign or replace six players, including their leading scorer/Cup hero and their 2C. AND the spotlight has been glaring on their LTIR usage. From what standpoint are they not monumentally screwed for cap next season?
And perhaps I am remembering wrong, but I cannot think of any non-Vegas team that has been in this deep of doodoo. Feel free to refresh my memory, but to be confused about the gaping lack of leverage they'd have in trade talks with everyone or the obvious need to clear a contract or two just to have a full team... I don't know what to do with that.
And yes, Celtic, when you provide examples of teams who had to give away good players for peanut shells, it absolutely reinforces my point. Not sure how one could figure otherwise, thats the exact point I'm making.</div></div>
I disagree with your math. If Lehner stays on LTIR, Vegas has 7.7m to sign five forwards. They have seven signed NHL Dmen.

They likely cannot resign all of those players mentioned. Pesce, Skjei, Turbo, and maybe Guentzel will likely not be back, and then there is plenty of space to sign Necas.
As for the trade, The Canes have plenty of bottom 6 centers, and as much as I liked Geekie in a Canes uniform that's all I think he'll ever be. Lysell and the 1st are good pieces, but I don't think they are the right pieces that Carolina would be looking for. If they are going to be shipping out a top 6 forward, they really should be getting one back in return. Alternatively, I could see Carlo being of interest for the Canes, but I don't know how that trade would look - who adds or if it would even work at all.
