Thread: Time for Brad to cook

Other teams have salary caps, too, ya know. That DAL trade just doesn't work without taking salary back. They can barely afford to give Duchene 6mil. And I'm sure they'd rather have him at 6mil for multiple years besides this, anyway.

ok

DAL - the best team in the West - currently have 3 lines that all play give-or-take the same minutes and rotate on being the "top line" based on who is hot. I guess it doesn't work, though.

Thread: utah

Why does every TOR arm chair GM trade forwards just for more forwards... this is exactly your team's problem. Call me crazy, but I think a good idea would be Marner for Durzi. I think it's realistic. ARI/UTAH obviously add more on top. But it makes a million times more sense than going for Crowse, who isn't even a 1st liner on that team.

CAR easily match that Joe Pesci contract. Giving Sean Walker 5mil is kinda silly. A bit of an overpay on Tanev, I think.

This team just isn't any better

Reaves and Timmins wouldn't pass waivers. So it's dumb in this case. For waivers exempt, or improbable ones, maybe it makes sense.

Thread: Offseason tweaks

I don't like any of this from the DAL side. I think keeping Duchene is a priority, mainly for his chemistry with Marchment and Seguin, who are signed with term. This likely means moving on from Pavelski, which I think is more than fine. Stankoven or Bourque can "replace" him.

Having 3 lines that can be 1st lines is the main reason for their success. I think what you did here hinders that. Although I do like getting some extra size with Mantha.

Just what TOR needs, another overpriced forward

Not even sure why you published when you used taxi squad which no longer exists, and you're still over the cap haha...

Thread: From the desk of me

I agree with the above. Plus, Utah needs centers way more than BUF does. They pretty much have none. I don't know if that Chatfield signing makes much sense, probably better to use that free agency money on a center instead. Byram should be in the top 4.

Thread: Running it back p2

It's interesting to see your perspective, and I'm sure we'll all be doing this in the offseason, but it's tough to lose Trouba and Goodrow with really no replacements. Very important players on this team, highly underrated. I think they're going to have to do smaller bridge deals on a lot of these to get by past the year of this thread. McNabb has been really good for Vegass, there's no way we get him for pennies. So in my view, we are losing two fairly important players with no replacement. And this is if only Igor takes a "pay cut" and not over 10million like he probably gets. It's only gonna get tougher for NYR

Thread: Running it back p2

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>wojme</b></div><div>Trouba and buffalo decline</div></div>

For devil's advocate, while I get that BUF would probably decline, Trouba goes to a 15 team no trade list, so in theory he couldn't decline

Forum: Armchair-GMFri. at 12:54 a.m.

Thread: Laf is that dude

As long as he stays well, I think they put Chytil on the Mika line. Lavi definitely believes in him; remember Trocheck was the 3C to start the year and Chytil was in the top 6 for the first 10 games.

With that, I think it'll be easy enough to fill 3C and other holes with the available space. Likely could be Brodz as 3C and Kakko at 3RW

I can't imagine Kreider or Trouba being traded. Glenn Sather is long gone. Trouba is definitely playing hurt right now, hasn't been the same since "returning" from injury. There's a reason he's on the 3rd pair

Again, who cares? In what realm is he a major piece for Marner? Glad you have a phd for harping on minor semantics instead of looking at any main point. Very productive

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>DanielSan92</b></div><div>When you clearly don't understand the Berggren situation...</div></div>

???

He's expiring and now an arbitration RFA with barely any NHL games experience, traded for a guy in his prime that produces at well over a point per game for years. I don't have to interview his mom to understand this is not a good trade for the other team, especially coupled with the other 2 lackluster pieces.

Thread: Marner

Leafs would gladly accept that, but NSH would be genuinely stupid to do it. I can't believe you nerds are still trying to trade Sorrows.

VGK definitely sign Marchchessassault for that price. And if they were to pass on him, then someone else is definitely signing him for 6+mil.

Forum: Armchair-GMMay 5 at 2:40 a.m.

Thread: Marner to Detroit

TOR get considerably better offers. They have like 8 d-men better than Maatta right now. I'd have concerns about Bergren considering he can't break this fringe playoff team lineup. Walman is really the only solid NHL piece, and even then, his claim to fame is riding behind Seider...

Thread: Pens 2024-2025

I don't think there's a single case where players of that magnitude are dumped off, and then sign back a couple of months later in the prime of their careers. Trying to run Ned as a number 1 with no backup is just asking for trouble. All this work, and still over the cap. Meh.

Forum: Armchair-GMMay 5 at 2:34 a.m.

Thread: Trading him before this type of cap space is a MISTAKE

Domi and Woll very underpaid, maybe Tavares signs that but unlikely... 28million for 10 roster spots, 2.8mil average for each is fairly brutal, especially considering you need 3 top 4 defensemen, and at least 1 top 6 forward based on what you have here. Top 4 defensemen are a minimum of 4million right now, and that'll only go up with said cap raises. And you need a solid backup given Woll's uncertainty. I don't know... seems like it'll just be the same old story.

Thread: To all the fake leaf fans thinking they get anything for marner

I think TOR loses every Marner trade..... except, perhaps one. I think they could take advantage of the new owner in Utah, if they can convince Marner to do it. They get Durzi back in return, and obviously more. Maybe Marner goes for it to be the top dog in a new stage. It's gotta be old doing the same thing every year, no? I think it's the only thing that could make sense for both sides. Still, with Marner being from the area and being in complete control, it's almost impossible. I'd be shocked if they didn't at least ask him, though.

Thread: Berube new HC

This trade obviously doesn't happen, but that description was just hilarious... you are dumping Marner, a guy who has been well over a point per game for you for years, for someone who "might be able to get to 80 points"?

I know this sucks for Leafs fans, but there's gotta be more thought put into these things, eh?

Haha, I was thinking of ya. Was coming on here to admit my wrong but you beat me to it. Glad he's finally playing him a tad bit more.

My next to bench for Chytil is Roslovic. I wouldn't touch any of the other lines, but the Zibanejad line only had 1 play the whole game. Not good enough deeper in

Is Sam Reinhart really the only missing piece preventing BUF from going to the yoffs? I'm not so sure. Certainly helps more than hurts, but the bottom 6 and goaltending are still lacking

Thread: Playoffs with Chytil

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NYR1983</b></div><div>I agree with that line up but I honestly think we are going to see more of Rempe than people think. I see a 4th that has cuylle, goody, rempe, edstrom rotation to have a solid checking line to wear down the other side. Cuylle seeing some 3rd line time. Then I see brodz as a fill in for goody to give rest as needed. Chytil, Rosy, Vesey will likely have some form of rotation for 2 positions. But he only real constants I think we will see is bred/troch/laf/zib/kreid/wenn/kakko(if he’s playing well). Chytil would be there also if 💯 .</div></div>

I previously would agree with Rempe, but he doesn't play him over 6 minutes during the regular season. With Chytil possibly returning, I can't imagine anyone would sit for Rempe. Only if the series gets crazy and he needs to smack someone.

Hard to argue with Lavi's approach, but I'm not sure why he doesn't play Rempe more. I haven't seen any glaring defense lasps. It is what it is, but Cuylle, Goodrow, and Vesey will all dress before Rempe on that 4th line
