Thread: They will be good for a while
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Canesfan21_</b></div><div>Nice to see a team built almost entirely through the draft, rather than having star players whine their way there.</div></div>


Dallas is built different. Jim Nill went for a more balanced and elite depth team. They’re relying on multiple guys instead of just two stars and the rest are all mediocre bottom 6 players. When you have Benn and Wyatt Johnston on your 3rd line, it shows how well built this team is. This one of the ways to build a winning team and GM should take notes. They drafted well and didn’t just give away firsts for rentals ( they still have their first this year ). Benn Pavelski Seguin are getting old but you have Johnston Hintz Robertson Heiskanen Harley Oettinger Stankoven Bourque behind. Nice mix of youngsters and vets.

Thread: Post Cup Run
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GMBL</b></div><div>Will take a lot to get Vatrano, but that's just too much. The potential of that becoming an embarrassing deal for Drury is far too great for him to pull the trigger on that.

Don't think Lindgren is signing that cheap, he has arb rights so no reason for him to try securing the bag, especially if the Rangers make it to the Finals or win the cup.</div></div>

Is it really too much? The first is almost like a 2nd. The odds of you drafting someone impactful are extremely low.

Kakko is having another rough season. He’s 23. I know some players take time to break out but might just trade him now before he turns 24 and his value is at an all time low. Lafreniere has been capable of stepping up but Kakko.. He was drafted 5 drafts ago.

Othmann is looking like more of a 3rd liner than anything else. Very mid prospect despite being a first rounder.

Thread: Askarov
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NHLfan10506</b></div><div>I don’t think. Right now, they are both young goalies. Both were in AHL last year. One is 2 years older, but has more experience (and has won a playoff series).

If NJD traded their first for a goalie, it’s probably for a more experienced goalie with some term.</div></div>

Askarov has been compared to Vasilevskiy for a long time now. He has been sensational the past two years. His celling is super high. He’s a generational goalie. He’s going to have a super long career while being in the elite of the elite like Price and Vasilevsky. On the other hand, Schmid has been inconsistent while not really showing starting/elite potential.

I personally would trade Saros for a haul and keep Askarov if I was Trotz.
