Thread: Assuming Price Healthy
Not bad... I have a couple of concerns though. For one, I don't think Statsny is going to be willing to go to Montreal. He doesn't seem to have a lot of interest in going East unless it is going to get him immediate success. That said, the money is probably pretty close. Secondly, why trade so much good stuff (for the future most likely) to Buffalo if you are not even playing Bogosian?! You may as well just trade a few prospects and a 1st/2nd for O'Reilly or something. Not to mention, what is the point of making a decent trade to improve your draft picks in a STACKED draft, and then just trading one of these picks in order to get Bogosian and a 7th? My only other concern is that Galchenyuk doesn't seem like a third liner to me, but I guess I see why he is there with this decent lineup. Overall, despite my concerns, I think this is not bad at all, it is quite good.

Thread: MTL and NYR fans what do you think ?
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Bloodykisame</b></div><div>This is an easy no from nyr. This years draft normally past 20 isnt supposed to have higher than b+ at best prospects but this year it has A to A- in the late first which is rare so nyr wouldnt give up 1 A or A+ prospect depending on who is chosen but this years top 10 are all elite potential but some have higher cieling than the others, and 2 A- per say for 1 A+.</div></div>

I mostly agree because it is simply not worth it to give up a chance at guys like Kotkaniemi or Boqvist, Merkley or McIssac and then a range of other at least decent players. They may be willing to do something involving a second rounder or a 2019 pick in some way, but it is not likely. At the same time, I see the appeal for them in getting Zadina.

Thread: Team Canada???
I think that this is a very good team and you did not miss anyone that I can think of (maybe Huberdeau or Letang could be considered somewhere, but whatever). I do have a couple of suggestions though. First of all, McDavid and Marchand together...I will pass. Not to mention, Bergeron has got to be in the middle. He is one of the best faceoff men in the league and he plays a two-way game. I also think that Giroux should be playing, probably instead of Johansen by putting Seguin in the middle. It is a tough choice... As for penalty kill, Benn and Toews should be on there, not a top-scorer like McDavid. Finally, If you are basing things on this year and recent seasons, Price should not be the number one goalie, Fleury should be. Also, a Pietrangelo-Doughty first pairing would be better in my mind.

Thread: toro
I do not really understand either trade. For one, Scheifele is a franchise player who is not going anywhere unless it is either his own decision or a massive deal involving multiple draft picks and another amazing player. Secondly, why on Earth would they sign Brock Nelson just to trade him when he is being paid useless money and has barely any trade value? Not to mention, I don't think the Leafs should be trading any good picks in this year's draft (rounds 1, 2 and 3) at all, let alone if they are not getting at least another draft pick or young prospect. Finally, I don't really think it makes sense to trade Zaitsev without getting our money's worth. Maybe it would make more sense to try a deal involving Zaitsev for Myers??

I am also not quite sure how I feel about signing Joe Morrow when we can use Borgman, Rosen, or even Holl. I know you traded Rosen here though.

As for the lineup, I like most of it except that there should be a way to not need that many new guys up. At least bring up Aaltonen if you want to do so, even if he is a centerman. Last but not least, Marleau and Johnsson penalty kill line? I would say Hyman instead of Marleau.

Thread: Shattering Other Teams Dreams
I am not quite sure why you would trade Dumoulin for Schmidt...how does it help Pittsburg? Is it a salary thing?

Also, that is a large deal with Florida and I don't think it will happen because they have a decent shot next year and they probably want to hold on to their solid defencemen. Maybe a better deal would be just Hagelin and Jarry for Haley and a pick? I am not sure...

The Bozak signing seems likely and makes sense but I am not sure that you should get your hopes up about JVR going to Pittsburgh. I would say he is most likely going to Philly, New Jersey, or staying in Toronto but I obviously am just guessing completely. I am not saying that they shouldn't try but it doesn't seem likely to me that they will get him. There are other good wingers that they could get though.

I am very curious to see if they ever go with line combinations like those... They are definitely interesting.

Do you think it would be a good idea to sign a backup goalie (like the Leafs did with McElhinney but only for one or two years)?

Overall, pretty good. I would say like 3-4 stars, so I rounded to 4.

Thread: Giving it another go
I really like that you are giving Morin and Sanheim some good opportunities in the NHL but I am not so sure about the amount of money and years for Pateryn.

Also, I would not trade Simmons, who is an important part of this team in many ways, even if his +/- numbers were not so good.

I am not a huge fan of Weal or Laughton but I argue that trading both may not be the best thing for this team. In fact, the Dallas trade doesn't make much sense to me at all, even if Spezza could just add to this squad of centermen who won the second-most faceoffs of any squad in the league. (Flyers: 53.3% this year, Spezza: 55.8% this year)

On another note, JVR would be a good pickup for this team but I am not sure exactly what will happen to him, money-, team-, or year-wise.

Overall, not bad but I am not sure that all of this will happen...
