Thread: karlsson fair value?
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GMhockey99</b></div><div>Callahan has a no move and this is a overpayment because Sergachev straight up is a fair deal. He is 19 and has so much potential. Karlsson has had a lot of injuries and is 27. His best days are behind him. It would be a win now move for Tampa but would be bad for there cap situation and for there long term future.</div></div>

It’s so hard to gauge value. BUT 100% u can’t say Karlssons best days are behind him. For the next 2 years (his time in Tampa) he’ll still be the #1D in the world. I understand that’s A LOT to pay but this is Erik Karlsson. Adding him to this already stacked Tampa bay team would get them pretty much as close to the cup as possible. They would get TWO shots at winning it

Thread: my team Canada
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>greasy</b></div><div>Why do you think Toews shouldn't be on this team?? he's only 29 and still one of the smartest and best all round players today</div></div>

I think theres better guys that could make it like Andrew Shaw and Paul Byron ;)

in all seriousness though, some guys who I excluded from my list include: Sean couturier, Ryan getzlaf, Sean monahan, John huberdeau, Eric staal, mark stone, etc...
do some of those guys deserve to make it over toews? depends who you ask. theyre all having fantastic seasons, better than toews, but certainly do not have the pedigree that he has. team Canada has so many amazing players it would be more fair to the rest of the world if we had team Ontario, team west, and team Quebec/ east coast :applaud

Thread: Blabla
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Artpeur</b></div><div>they would still need a top-6C other than Byron ;P
Without Tavares, you could probably fit in Drouin and a cheaper center like Backlund. So let's say

Pacioretty - Galchenyuk - Radulov (that hot line last season)
Drouin - Backlund - Gallagher
Lehkonen - Danault - Hudon
Byron - Froese - Deslauriers
fit in Scherbak on top-9 when someone is injured or trade him away with someone else for an upgrade on top-6</div></div>

I could see stasney signing there as well. honestly... the big thing for the habs was still the subban trade. you dont trade an elite D of that calibre for a declining one with a bad contract. although keeping radulov would've been very good for habs top 6.

habs this offseason lost the offence of radulov and then added Drouin... so essentially it was a wash. would've been better to keep sergachev AND resign radulov. alzner was a bad signing for more reasons than needs explaining, and the way the habs management disrespected Markov was disgusting. this was a player that took pay cuts his entire career to stay in Montreal (he could've made more on an open market) he was a pivotal of their D core for a decade. Markov WANTED to stay but there was practically no negotiation between the two parties.

Thread: Paccio and Radu together
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Billy739</b></div><div>sure i'd do it
but i dont see them giving up the leader for the Norris Trophy Finalists that cheap .
Everyone talks about Subban but he's not almost a point per game as a D like Lindell

plus Spezza blocked a trade to play for MTL
he's unlikely to want to play here . (its just easier to drop him and add Brett Ritchie then its)


the only way i see them giving up Lindell is if he's the focus of the trade

Lindell,Ritchie and Faska for
Patches, Alzner and Plekanec.
-gives them a RD to fill the void who is a PP specialist and 2nd PK regular capable of up to 27 minutes
-Patches a 30 goal scorer heating up with chemistry with Red hot Radulov with 2250000 retained cap
-Plekky to fill Faska's depth faceoff duties for a playoff run at 3 m retained cap

they give up two bottom 6 and a top LD who is norris trophy finalist no doubt
they get a 30 goal scorer an ironman LD who hits and blocks shots and a PK specialist as well as a 4th line C capable of playing more minutes if injuries as well as uniting 2/3 of team Czechs top line in past years
in Plekanec and Hanzal .

it gives you everything you need for DAL including Established Chemistry without losing much outside Lindell
but even then i think MTL would need to add in a top goalie prospect to make it work</div></div>

youre definitely confusing Lindell with klingberg bud. wow mr hockey expert over

Thread: post 2015 stanley cup. The moves they should have made
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Hockeyplayer1</b></div><div>This is obviously easy to do when you know how everything turned out.
BUUUUUUTTTTT, the Seabrook extension was horrendous in any way you look at it. Even at the time of the signing, a full year before it went into effect, it was a garbage signing and most people could see that. Stan Blowman gave into Seabrook's outrageous requests because he had a full NMC on the final year of his last contract. Stan thought it would be better to give Seabrook the outrageous deal instead of letting him walk at free agency. I personally have never been a huge fan of Seabrook and would have easily let him walk if that's the contract he was asking for. Stan signed him to an "elite defenseman" contract. Turns out its the worst contract in the NHL, and its not even close.

The Patrick Sharp trade was okay for the most part. I will say that Stan anticipated Daley being a multi-year 2nd pairing staple for the Hawks and that just didn't pan out. What I have noticed over the years is that Stan doesn't know defense. AT ALL. It also seems that he completely fails to consult and coordinate with his head coach about these players that he is bringing in. Q shouldn't have the final say but he should have a pretty big influence in these trades especially if Bowman planned on having Q coach for the foreseeable future. SEE THE NIKLAS HJALMARSSON TRADE

The Hammer-Murphy trade is absolute trash any way you look at it. You don't trade your CLEAR #2 defenseman with reasonable cap hit for a somewhat unknown fit even if it is for somewhat longer cap security. AND in a year where you only have 2-3 confirmed NHL defenseman on your roster. Not to mention that Q flipped s*** after he found out proving that he had LITERALLY no say or knowledge about the possible trade.

I can't blame Bowman for the Bickell trade. He did what he had to do for the most part. If Bickell had been properly diagnosed the Hawks would still have Teravainen.

IMO nearly all of the major trades and a lot of major signings Stan has even made in his career have been fairly awful. Except the Hossa signing. Stan is very good at taking advantage of small trades and signings. The ones that seem meaningless for the most part but end up with a solid NHLers. Some that come to mind from recently are the clendening-forsling, Panarin signing, Morin-Panik, TVR signing, Oesterle signing, Duclair-Panik</div></div>

I agree 100% with your comment. the seabrook extension was bad from the start, the Daley trade should have worked out better... after all, he was coming off a career year with 16 goals and 38 points in 16 games. same opinions on the HJALMARSSON trade. bickell trade was just unfortunate for the hawks that he was misdiagnosed. if hawks had known they could've threw him on LTIR, they would've kept teemu.

I will say this about bowmen. Pre Summer 2015 id say he was the best GM in the NHL. if you look after the 2010, 2013, and the 2015 cups... hes been able to trade away key supporting cast players and build around their core of guys. he was able to ship out/lose some great players throughout the years yet make great draft picks, trades, and FA pickups to keep his team a contender. guys like Campbell, laad, brower, big buff, versteeg, and Niemi were all either traded or left unsigned after their first cup. after 2013 they lost guys like frolik, stalberg, handzus, leddy, bolland, etc... after 2015 he lost the likes of saad, sharp, Richards, etc... every team has turnover no doubt. thats the effects of a salary cup era. but what bowman was able to do from 2010-2015 was incredible. the amount of turnover between guys is crazy. HOWEVER... his last couple seasons hes made questionable moves/ signings that have no doubt negatively impacted the team.
