Thread: Jersey side with Panthers
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>DevilsFanInTX</b></div><div>Bob is basically a cap dump. There’s no way you’re getting a 1st rd pick from NJ.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NHLfan10506</b></div><div>Bobrovsky should come with serious salary retention if that is the price.

And Adam Erne? No thanks.</div></div>



<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Rolfadinho</b></div><div>Florida accepts immediately. Does Bob waive for NJ is the bigger question.</div></div>


I prefaced this by New Jersey "WANTING TO GO FOR IT "
Did they over pay Palat to "just" make the playoffs?
So, if they wanted to go for it they would know they would need a great goaltending duo which would prompt THEM inquiring about Bob. I don't think they would initially offer a 1st but I think they would end up there. If Florida calls New Jersey then its totally different scenario.
bob wants to leave his mark in the NHL and wants a cup and he is still capable of being an elite goalie and with Luke Hughes coming this spring New Jersey's defense looks a lot better than Florida's.
however, Bob lives in the best state in the U.S. and if I were him I would never go to that socialist arm pit called New Jersey

Thread: Hayes deadline deal to boston
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CMcAvoy73</b></div><div>The whole, “ohhhhh but teams screw up first rounders so who cares,” is the stupidest line thats repeated on this site. It’s a first round pick. End of story.

Taking that gamble you referred to would be, “ya sure, we’ll take Kevin hayes off your hands for a 6th round pick.” A 1st is laughable. Notice how everyone on this thread has said what a horrible trade it is? Theres a reason for that. It would be like me making a Bruins ACGM with the Bruins offering debrusk and a 3rd for couturier. It’s just not something thats based in realism.</div></div>

that's because as fans of a certain team you can't be objective. if a buffalo acgm proposed that trade with Philly involving Risto everyone including me would have blasted that person unmercifully. But that trade actually happened. Why? Because the flyers were desperate to reach the playoffs. Boston is trying to win a cup and trading a first rd pick isn't going to stop them. People like you will be praising the trade after they win the cup and then in two years when Hayes sucks you'll be back at it again.

Thread: Deadline Giroux to Colo
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Xqb15a</b></div><div>Why does COL need Giroux? MacKinnon’s tirade, bro you don’t know anything about the Avs if you think that’s the first time he has blown up about winning. COL is the top scoring team by quite a bit, they aren’t trading top end prospects for 34 yr old rentals that at best end up on the 2nd line.</div></div>

Holy cow all you guys take this so damn personally. Im not trying to hurt your team! I created scenarios where teams would presumably act desperate to put themselves over the top to win a cup. Why would they need Giroux. Added security!! Great on face-offs, can kill penalties, can do the power play, has tremendous work ethic, wants to win bad! Plus you don't think by adding someone like Giroux it gives a boost to Mackinnon? I may know nothing about the Avs but I do know they want to win and they want to win now
