Thread: movement

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Wqrrior</b></div><div>i think you're neglecting how good schmid was last year. looking at a team that struggled defensively to write off a developing netminder isn't logical.

veleno needs a change of scenery if he wants to turn his career around, because hes already pretty underwhelming and his minutes will only continue to get edged out. adding picks to this trade felt generous.</div></div>

I would keep Schmid. He is the future of our goaltending.

Thread: D List

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Wqrrior</b></div><div>I understand that, but this expensive cap hit is also preventing guentzel, an actual star player, from having room to come back.

I feel like moving orlov to open that gateway, then signing a 2-4m range dman who is slightly lower tier would be far more beneficial to the team. Sure the defense would be far worse, but keeping a star should always be top priority.</div></div>

There's also some big cap coming off of the forwards. Namely Teravainen. Necas (it's sort of leaning like we'll be trading him) would be gone too. I'm curious if the Canes will do something about the KK deal because that's the worst contract by far, and if you can get that off the books, then it's genius. (A buyout this offseason would mean around 850k for 12 years, but given how the cap keeps going up, that won't be a big concern). It's really just seeing what Jarvis takes, since he could get a Necas-style bridge deal.

Waddell does really well of spending to the cap creatively. We could convince Guentzel to take a small 'discount' (imagine more in the Svechnikov range), but we'll need to see how this postseason plays out.

Thread: Pettersson

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mv21227</b></div><div>Pettersson isn’t being moved. Hypothetically if he was then it would be Thompson++ or Dahlin coming back as the main piece from Buffalo</div></div>

No it wouldn’t. Be real.

1. You acquire Pettersson to play with guys like Thompson and Dahlin to help build the team competitively, not trade them for him.

2. Dahlin has no place in Vancouver. Hughes is already the #1 d-man and the PP guy so Dahlin would play behind him. That’s a step down for him and not where he’s best to succeed.

3. Pettersson is more in the Owen Power value range than Dahlin.

True but Buch is better than Senko, Copp and Bertuzzi. Does Joki really have that much value? he is traded so often here

Thread: Would San Jose Consider

A potential counter offer (From a rangers fan, so neutral)
Smith and 14th overall for Hutson and 5th Overall.

Obviously this trade would still never happen bc San Jose arent trading will smith, but I think this makes it alot more interesting for San Jose

Thread: Would San Jose Consider

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Wqrrior</b></div><div>internal bias and small sample sizes can lead to a lot of opinions, but that doesnt mean that he is on the same level as Smith. There is nothing that is motivating the sharks to make this type of deal. They can grab a dman with pick 14 or use next years pick to fill out that position. I think the likelihood of Smith being a franchise player is significantly higher than Hutson, not by a newhook of seperation.</div></div>

I can call that internal bias as well (Edit: just realized you're not a Sharks fan) Everyone doubts the small offensive defensemen... Until they don't!

Anyway, thanks for sharing your perspective!

Forum: Armchair-GMMay 9 at 3:13 a.m.

Thread: Would San Jose Consider

Hell no. Newhook is a third liner and Hutson has yet to play an nhl season as an undersized Dman. The sharks already have a small Dman projecting in a similar way in Cagnoni. Smith has by far the highest potential in the trade

Hutson will be solid but Smith is definitely on another level

Thread: DRAFT IGINLA PLUS TRADE UP FOR EISERMAN

Utah passes, a late first and a top 10 protected pick for a 6th overall isn't enough. Gonna have to give up one of your stud defensemen, because that's what you're asking them to pass on.

Thread: DRAFT IGINLA PLUS TRADE UP FOR EISERMAN

That doesn't get you the 6OA. You have to know that, right? Couple of late 1st picks and a bottom pair defender...

Thank for the clarification! I was wondering why such a high AAV.

Thread: if he wont commit to ott

Pinto talked enthusiastically about how much he loves being here, how he loves the group, and how he's hoping they get the deal done soon. Said he's going to Worlds even without a deal done, but he was hoping they'd have a deal done before it starts. He'll have a new contract before the Draft imo.

Thread: Ruff is back

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Wqrrior</b></div><div>this trade is kinda weird to me. Foligno has a NMC and seems to be settled, and that contract extension honestly sucks. Strange to overpay for someone who, although is good, probably wont trade or move</div></div>

I believe, if you look at the ufas he added, they are just names from the Sabres past. If not, I'm not sure what he's going for.

Desimone, Kane, foligno, and gilbert were all born in buffalo.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>OldNYIfan</b></div><div>Since when did Alex Holtz merit that kind of return?!?</div></div>
I think Holtz has about the same value as Newhook, so this seems fair. Maybe add a third going to Montreal

Forum: Armchair-GMApr. 21 at 8:54 a.m.

Thread: feast

This is essentially what we paid for Newhook (Holtz is now the same age as Newhook when the trade happened). Nehwook did have better past production though, so Holtz should be a bit less, maybe changing the 2nd to MIN 3rd

Eh, barely more than league minimum; but, I wonder to what extent that are throwing a few extra $$$ in there just to keep him from bolting to the KHL.

God I hope the Canes pass I don’t want anything to do with that contract that’s 1.5 mill too much for 5 years longer than it should be.

And you’re right the difference isn't 2 2nds, it’s way more! Granlund is offensivly what you guys hoped JK would be! And not a 4th line overpaid problem.

Thread: deeper pockets

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>glarson17</b></div><div>A 2nd for Brannstrom and another 2nd plus for KK? Why?</div></div>

Branny is probably worth a 3rd in this case a very late 2nd. He’s actually a very good puck moving defenseman, his issue is he’s been paired or stuck behind 2-3 other defenseman who want to move the puck also. Defensively he’s actually been one of our better guys, and he’s more physical than Chych/Chabot despite being smaller. If a team needs an offensive puck moving D he’ll prob look much better in a better situation.
