Thread: Are you all still mad

Considering they've got Hertl for 6 more years and Hanifin for 8 more years, they're probably fine with it. Games alone may win them the trade. Hanifin has also been by far their best D since the trade.

Thread: rebuild

You lost every single trade, except for the trade for Hellebuyck where you gave them a whole lot of nothing for this years likely Vezina Winner (who is apparently not a playoff performer which is ironic for a leafs trade).

Thread: A new path forward

I think Columbus could be in need of goaltending, but not for Marchenko. Way too valuable of a player for their rebuild to give him up for a question mark in Gus.

Thread: Keep adding young talent

Why would Minnesota, a team also looking to get younger, trade away their best young Center (not including JEE, he's 27, still good) for a mid 1st round pick? A young NHL Player with great potential plus other assets for magic beans? Pass for Minnesota 100% of the time

Thread: Playoff bound

why would you sign Texier, Nylander, and Bean to that much? Nylander was a fringe nhl player until the last 12 games. 12 games of being good doesn't translate to a multi-year, multi-million dollar contract. Texier and Bean haven't earned those dollar amounts either. All around very risky bets.

Thread: Bye Torts

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GM_SZK</b></div><div>I agree but maybe in this case it’s just the timing…he just got back from suspension.</div></div>

Not like the suspension was for abusing his own players. Frankly, getting pissed with the refs is probably a great thing from the players perspective. Shows that he's willing to stick up for his guys when he thinks they're getting screwed over. I didn't like it back when I was playing hockey, but most of my teammates did. Course I don't know if its the same for the pros, but it's a safe bet.

Thread: Bye Torts

From what I've heard, players love Torts. He is hard on them, but he is always honest and straight forward. He scratched Sean Couturier because he hasn't been producing lately (haven't paid much attention to Flyers, just what I've heard). He has also taken a team that wasn't even supposed to be good this year all the way to being in the playoff picture.

Thread: 24-25 Pens

Doubt Vegas gives up all of that for Guentzel now. With his injury sidelining him until mid-March, his value may go down to just over a first. May get something like a 1st and Howden. Maybe another 2nd for the 50% retainment that is gonna be necessary.

Thread: Reading between the lines

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ClockReads2113</b></div><div>I do think Dowd will get a 1st but don't think VGK will be that team. I do think VGK would take Mantha though.

I think you're definitely right. Down doesn't fit in the lineup, considering when all 4 centers are healthy it's Eichel-Karlsson-Stephenson-Roy. Dowd doesn't fit in there anywhere unless they wanna move Stephenson to the wing. Mantha is an interesting option, but I'm not sure he really solves Vegas' problem all that much. The one thing Vegas doesn't have is a bonafide shooter, which Mantha isn't really. He's got the tools to be, but he's not right now.

Thread: Adding low cost low risk guys and weaponizing cap space

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BoltsFan9186</b></div><div>Not throwing in the towel at all? I added pieces. Didn’t sell at all. Just using our ton of cap space to add picks as well.</div></div>

Choosing to retain to help other teams instead of using that cap space to help your own team immediately (especially with such a big hole on the defense) is throwing in the towel. Adding in Englund doesn't fix that hole at all.

Thread: Next season

Overpay for Zegras. After his production and injuries this year, with his awful defense stats last year, I can't imagine he'll be more than a 1st plus mid prospect. And frankly, that 1st out of name value.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Tchuckycheese</b></div><div>"Caps say no." :tearsofjoy :tearsofjoy :tearsofjoy :tearsofjoy :tearsofjoy :tearsofjoy :tearsofjoy</div></div>

Why would a team being forced to rebuild trade away their 1st round pick next year for a player that can't stay healthy? This year seems to be the best they can possibly do with the aging roster they have, and they still won't make playoffs. Yes, Chabot is younger, but he's not enough to get them into playoffs and they give up a much needed 1st to get him.

Thread: With Serg out

The Blues are in no way willing to retain $2 million for 3 years for nothing. That 3rd only covers the player. A random 24 year old prospect isn't getting that retainment done.

Thread: Leafs

It does not matter how good Doughty plays, he will never be traded. He has 4 years left at 11 million dollars at 34 years old. He is definitely not fetching a 1st, a top prospect, and 3 quality players.

Thread: Team wont get better than this

Isn't the point of getting Hanifin to bolster defense? So why would you then go and trade the teams one really reliable defensive defenseman for a guy that you're then putting on your 3rd line?

Thread: Terrible Bergevin Legacy

The Monahan and Reinhart signings are very risky.

Reinhart has <em>never</em> been this good, which would be fine if he was 23 and it's a breakout type deal. But it's not, hes 28. More likely a one-hit wonder type of season. Giving him 11 million for the next 7 years is risky when he hasn't proven he can repeat this. Monahan is crazy injury prone, and mainly a bottom-6 guy at this point in his career. Shelling out all that money for all that term for a guy who you got <em>because</em> he couldn't stay healthy could go bad very quick.

If the window opens in 3-5 years, you risk already having bad contracts. That money could be better spent. Also, Montreal isn't really at a point to be buying a guy like Reinhart. Could easily turn into a Johnny Gaudreau to Columbus type deal, except for a player who put up less points for 1.25 million more.

Thread: Chicago Blackhawks signed Nick Foligno (2 Years / $4,500,000 AAV)

I think that it's okay. Is Foligno worth 4.5 million? No. Is he gonna be worth 4.5 million over the next 2 years? Definitely not. But he seems like a great role model for the young players coming up, both on and off the ice. The Hawks are also so far under the cap floor next year that they'd have to throw money randomly just to meet the cap floor that this deal seems fine. Overly expensive, but was probably giving that money to someone eventually, why not a role model player the team is already familiar with.

Thread: VGK Guentzel Idea

That Guentzel trade seems like an awful lot for 1 great player and 1 defenseman playing awful at the beginning of a long and expensive deal. Remove Roy, Martinez, and Graves, and there is something there

I do hope your joking. Last year, Stephenson had over double as many points as Lafferty. This year, Stephenson is in a huge slump and is still beating Lafferty in points.

Thread: Next Year with lindholm and tanev extensions

Resigning Tanev to that term would be a mistake. It would very much also be a mistake to sign Cam Talbot. He's been good for the Kings, but they Kings are also one of the best defensive teams in the league. Talbot is a 36 year old who hasn't been good for the past like 3-4 years. Might as well keep Samsonov, he hasn't been very good this year but at least he's younger.
