They could put Dube as the 4th line C and have Klapka playing on the right side with Kadri and Coleman, but that could restrict Dube's minutes which they likely don't want. Schwindt has shown the ability to win draws, giving him 8-10 minutes a game with 3 strong Centres ahead of him being able to double shift a few times a game if needed, won't be a huge issue with the other C's playing too many minutes. I don't know how overly concerned they are about the 4th line C, aslong as he's playing responsible minutes and not losing 70% of his draws.

As far as the D pairings go, I was just going off how Huska had them set with the last lineup before opening night. Anderson and Hanifin could end up together again, and maybe Tanev ends up with Gilbert and Zadarov/Weeger make the other pairing. I think Huska wants his top 4 being Weegar/Tanev/Anderson/Hanifin though.

Thread: Not Jack Icicle
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>RoyalBlueSabres</b></div><div>Well the xonditional pick would be like that a 1st that would turn to 2nd if he does resign. Idk just worded weird up top. But it doesn't matter because the value is way off.
Don't trade us Monahan then idk lol</div></div>

Yes it's a condition on if Hall re-signs, it's not a pick added, the second turns into a first.

Sam Bennet is worth a 2nd/3rd, so it's not just monahan.

I think the value you're putting on hall is way too high. Unlikely he's going to get anywhere close the rental price Arizona paid, and that was with like 50 games remaining in the season.

Depends if you guys feel confident in re-signing him I guess, but monohan has a good cap hit with term left, and Bennett is still under team control.

Thread: Making a team based on others posts
Flames will expose Giordano over Tanev, and Im fairly confident Gio will give the green light to being exposed, as it's highly unlikely Seattle wants a declining 36 year old that has only 1 year left at 6.75M.

Valimaki doesn't require protection at the draft since he didn't play at all last season.

This means either Dube or Mangiapane are going to be the likely players Seattle will go after. However, Lucic should waive his NMC to also be exposed, meaning a protection spot won't be required for him, as again Seattle probably won't want to use their selection to take on his contract, relative to earnings and where he is in his career.

Protection should be this (assuming there is no scoring winger added during this season requiring protection)

F- Gaudreau, Monahan, Tkachuk, Backlund, Lindholm, Mangiapane, Dube
D - Andersson, Tanev, Hanifin
G - Markstrom

Thread: Tre Gets The Pocket Dawg Dumps
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>InTreWeTrust</b></div><div>That is the Toronto mindset - overplay your number 1 cause you do not have a capable backup - we have a very capable backup in Rittich - I certainly would not pay to have someone take him</div></div>

Its a little different grasping at 700k goalies that no one wants because you have no money and you're reaching at straws half way through a season.

Tre already signed Dominque as a depth piece, which ironically was Toronto's answer at one point for their backup issue. Which alludes to him possibly considering trading Ritter if he thinks it can help make the team better.

This is more about what Ritters future with Calgary is beyond next season. If they arent going to re sign him, and there's no trust to play him in the playoffs if Markstrom does get hurt, then whats the point of keeping him for another year, if you feel you can make your team better by trading him.

Thread: Tre Gets The Pocket Dawg Dumps
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Ansabch12</b></div><div>Why are we paying someone to take Rittich when he has 1 year left on his deal, thats really dumb. I doubt Granlund signs that sort of deal but if he was willing id be interested, If were signing another dman we should look into trading Kylington for someone who can effectively play in the bottom 6.</div></div>

Its just to clear cap. Tre signed Markstrom as the number 1 with a big cap number, so they don't really need to spend 2.75 mill this year for a backup that most likely won't be returning unless he signs for cheap.

Tre picked up 2 extra 3rds in about 20 minutes by trading down twice, so acting like giving up a 3rd to clear cap space is the dumbest thing out there seems a little over the top IMO.
