Thread: Some random possibilites
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CW_73</b></div><div>I agree Marchessault could take a contract not far off that in order to acquire. I just think the team that does it will regret it sooner or later. It could well be this year that he falls off, and even with him the Bruins aren't going to be cup favourites right away so buying him for the short term doesn't make a ton of sense with the teams plans.

I also agree Lindholms value dropped from this time last year, but not by that much. Particularly after a strong playoffs, his number still begins with a 7. He's a more sensible target for this team than Marchessault, and you'll need some of that Marchessault money to get him. And then you'll need to fill the spot with a winger with a good value contract - that's where keeping Zacha comes in.

As to Coyle, I think he's better than Pageau at this stage and the money isn't that far off.</div></div>

I agree Coyle is better than Pageau, More of a cap move to fit the others in.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CW_73</b></div><div>A 5x8 contract to 33 year old Marchessault is going to backfire sooner rather than later. Bruins would need the money to pay Lindholm more than 6M anyway. I'd rather just not do that move and keep Zacha and Coyle</div></div>

Marchessault is going to be a competitive UFA to get, so you will have to give him some security., and yah last year or two may not work out, but he seems like someone who is just getting better every year. Lindholm's value is lower now, I think 6-7 is the max he gets. And you aren't winning any cups with our current forward group. Look at it this way.

You are "trading" Zacha, Coyle and Ullmark for JG Pageau, Jake Guentzel, Johnathan Marchessault, Elias Lindolm, a 1st, 2nd, and a 3rd. This team would have 4 goal scoring wingers, decent play making centers, and i've recovered all of our lost picks. Why wouldn't you do this?

Thread: Fill the voids
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Celtics21</b></div><div>I doubt the Flames get a better offer than that and I’d be irritated if Sweeney actually offered it, though I agree with the sentiment that there are better prospect fits for Calgary considering their current system depth.

I’d probably rate the prospects as Coronato, Lysell, and Pelletier based on what I’ve seen. That would not have been the order at the beginning of the season, but I love what Lysell is doing in Providence in terms of leveraging and working with his teammates. With his talent, that was the biggest deterrent to him making an impact and it’s starting to come. I’d hate to trade him where the biggest barrier to success looks like it is turining

How many Cap Friendly fans have the AHL or CHL packages? I love watching minor league hockey but I think I might not be the norm here based on a lot of commentary . Try to leverage business travel with catching a game at whatever level

On a side note, Lysell should be getting a call up and seeing if he can fill the top 9 void we have. He certainly has the talent, though I can see them trying to build him up some after last years regression in the second half of the season</div></div>

Gofornut999 says “No” to every trade people make.
