<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TJTwolf</b></div><div>I think in purely value terms it's probably somewhere in the middle of the opinons of the two of you. Yes, it's only his rights and if Konecny had term then I'd say Konecny for Mitts' rights would be fine (pure value). A first and Hathaway would not be and Konecny with only one year also wouldn't be. There's also no C in this trade that the Avs would almost certainly be looking for in any trade that gave up Mitts (bar them finding one in FA). Tbh if it were Frost (plus probably a small addition) then there might be a conversation to be had.</div></div>

I just did a COL team, with frost, zamula, deslauriers AND a good 2nd for Mitts. It isn;t an equal player of Mitts, but it fills 2-3 holes on the team and leaves cap space....

Thread: Making key adjustments
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>littlejerryseinfeld</b></div><div>Don't understand dumping skinner to be 7 million under the cap with Atkinson in the pressbox and big 4th line contracts</div></div>

Ultimately its preparation for JJP, Quinn, TK resigns.

CleaRING THAT 9MIL FOR the next 3 yrs opens alot of options, and having that cap space to address weaknesses or injuries goes along ways. Ideally Greenway would be better than hes been and one of the grittier two way better option guys like blueger or dakota go up to 4th line, while having rosen getting some experience with some nice two way guys on 4th line.

Without overiding CF's positions, maybe 1 of the LW benson and dakota go to RW on 3rd line with savoie, and a 4th line of greenway-blueger-rosen is better.

Just trying for a better mix of 2 way players with size to allow the little young guys to develop AND produce at the same time.

Atkinson, is expiring so stands in the way of nothing moving forward BUT hes a far better option and vet leader than anyone we've have, both in the locker room and in case of an injury on the wing.

But ideally half of the BUF posters on here fear making a big move (Koneckny) as the cap issues it creates for 25-26 and the RFA signings, moving Skinner for a 1 yr of a retained Atkinson cures this issue AND allows moves in season (which we didn;t see last yr)

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MeetYourMakar</b></div><div>You're crazy, Avs traded Byram(who you couldn't afford) for Mitts, you need more than botton 6 guys and a late 1st.</div></div>

True, but its only his rights and you;'re only trading him if his demands are too high.

And Koneckny for mitts's RIGHTS straight up isn;t off by tons, but adding a 1st and a high in the round 2nd and a desireable bottom 6 guy?

Again this isn;t for the player its for the negotiating rights alone, and Mitts might be asking for 9+, and its also relative to what COL can afford or do to reverse the latest course of diminshing results.

I for one, dont think hes on the market, COL keeps him is a no brainer, but I cant see PHI dismantling and selling off young players/draft picks for young players who look better elsewhere.

Necas is a RW, not a C, and thats a huge amount to give up for his rights.

Thats a huge amount to give up for the RFA rights of Mittlestadt, Koneckny alone or the 1st and one of Hathaway or the 2nd is plenty

How many wingers do you need? You've trtaded 4 to bring back 2 (one of which robertson is a massive overpayment for a smallish often injured winger).

And Emil Andrae is probably a better shot than Broberg, but you've given him 2mil at the cost of a 3rd?

DeBrusk is a nice winger, but his very limited physicality puts him below bertuzzi, mantha etc.... as a power forward.

And Sanheim for Drury and a 3rd? Rolling out yoerk and drysdale, zamula and bonk as your top 4 is a recipe for disaster, both in team results, any crease clearing/stay at home/physicality and their own development.

These are all pretty much bad deals for Philly, and while Mittelstadt/drury are nice adds, I think you've dismantled the team in the interest of believing that the grass is greener elsewhere.

Thread: Is this possible
Liljegren probably doesn;t have the value of Frost, and certainly PHI doesn;t need liljegren as much as they need Frost, but I wouldn't see an even trade there.

Robertson is a smallish offensive winger, of which PHI already has too many and a logjam at wing in their top 9 (koneckny, farabee, michkov, laughton, foerster, brink, atkinson, tippett, cates all are already in mix for top 3 line wingers).

Frost, based on 2 good production yrs on a bad offensive team and looks capable of more, is worth more than an 8th yr Liljegren who is, IMO, declining in value (reduced minutes in playoffs or healthy scratch last 2 yrs, TOR annually acquires 2 dmen at TDL who play more than Liljegren, never played close to a full season, not shown top 4 consistent ability in 8 yrs). Just dont think they're close to value
