Thread: Off season

What is Carolina adding for Calgary to take on Orlov? Then what are they adding for Kuzmenko? Then what are they adding for retention?

Thread: Nothin to lose roster

Do Calgary fans feel like Dustin Wolf is ready to be the starter? I thought you should have buried Vladar months ago, but do you see future star when you watch Wolf or simply decent projection with growth potential?

I like him, but I can see why they ‘d want to keep Markstrom to help with the transition and develop Wolf as a backup like Boston has done with Swayman.

Thread: Leafs finally have a real GM

Ummmm, you're forgetting that he:

Klingberg - 4.2mil ridiculous
Bertuzzi - overpaid
Reaves - overpaid
Kampf - overpaid
Samsonov - inconsistent

then like his predecessor had to go out at TDL and acquire 2 starting dmen (giving props for addressing a problem they've had all year?)
Still 3rd in own division and defense/goaltending still looking shaky
Still capped out

Just seems like you're giving props for really same result (Dont get me wrong Dubas was bad), but I dont really see a better team this year

And regardless of 23-24 results, you're really rolling out the same flawed team, maybe worse?
And you really think a TDL acquisition at 31 yrs old, a expiring UFA making 3.75mil really stays in TOR for 3 yrs at 1.5mil? Or that an 18 skater team is a step forward? Or Holmberg not just becomes a fulltime NHLer at 24-25 yrs old, but is a quality 3rd liner?

Thread: DETAILED SHARKS OFFSEASON Land Celebrini Sign Reinhart Pesce Walker Debrusk

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>oilfire</b></div><div>Aren't Hertl and Karlsson on for quite awhile? Thats the dead money I refer to. It just doesn't seem prudent to try and be competitive during that time frame. Being less bad than this year would be good though.</div></div>

It's only $1.4M / yr for Hertl and $1.5M / yr for Karlsson. Sharks didn't get much in those trades, but they did get cap space.

Thread: What should have been added at the deadline

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>oilfire</b></div><div>If they use the assets they didn't spend, to find a way to dump Campbell during the off season, I think it makes sense.

Of course going deep would make it look pretty good as well.

I know Campbell's bouncing back in the AHL but I'd never trust him again.

On an unrelated note, can I interest you in Markstrom? He's awesome, definitely not worried he'll turn back into a pumpkin.</div></div>

I don't think we go deep sadly, if anything it feels like we're 1st round exits this year. I would rather have us grab an extra top 4 piece for the d-core and buyout Campbell instead.

Since Markstrom has been far more consistent I'd much rather take him

Just be bad until the bad money is off the books.</div></div>

Actually, starting in July most of the bad money is off the books and the Sharks will have lots of cap to spend on UFA's. Reaching the floor will be difficult. Time to stop tanking. Or tanking so hard.

Thread: Kuznetsov

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>oilfire</b></div><div>Vancouvers 1st has very small chance of being usable, let alone good.

Maybe Durzis the wrong target but we need RD now. I don't trust our scouting staff with all those picks. Conroy should go buy the team something nice, as long as it's a good young center or RD.</div></div>
We need a Tanev Replacement = Penalty Killing, Shot Blocking, Shut Down Defensemen, like

Nick Jensen, or cheaper acquisition options like
Andrew Peeke
Justin Holl
Johnathan Kovacevic
Collin Miller
Josh Brown
Troy Stecher

Potential Left Shot Targets who Play both sides are Bo Byram and Jordan Harris as well

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>oilfire</b></div><div>Won't know til we see it, you might be right, hope you're not. Vladys stopped some pucks on occasion, who knows how he might handle more than a handful of games a season?

If we can focus on filling the net, get that sorted out first, give Vlady and Wolf a chance to take the net, if they don't, I guess we're looking for another goalie.</div></div>

Fair enough.

Thread: Kuznetsov

Bring Ruzicka back and they can all just coke up and hold Russian/Belarusian/Slovakian Party’s together too

That Hanifin Trade gets Hanifin 50% retained only. We’re keeping Mangiapane this year

Hoping for Holtz OR a 1st + 3rdProspect for Marky, since NJD’s Pick Values will likely go down with how well he’s playing in net right now, meaning NJD will start winning more and climb the standings with Markstrom

I vehemently oppose the Durzi Trade. We have Weegar & Andersson to produce Right Shot Offence and Poirier may become as good or better than Durzi, same with whatever that 1st turns in too as well

What if Calgary took Kuznetsov, gave up Hanifin and Mangiapane, could we squeeze you for maximum value?</div></div>

The cost to dump kuznetsov would be disgustingly high. The caps are better off buying him out or holding him another year till he expires.

Kyper amd Bourne played the audio.

If I was Connie I'd wrap this deal up now. Get what you can, clear the decks for Vladar and Wolf. I don't care one way or another about Vanecek, cost of doing business.</div></div>
Agreed, ship him out asap

Like go screw yourself Markstrom. Conroy’s a Rookie GM who was left with a mess to clean up and players unsure of what they want to do and some who clearly wanted out. Give “The Management Upstairs” a break ffs 🤦‍♂️

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>oilfire</b></div><div>Little crazy, but I'd think about moving off of Timo before trade protection kicks in. His playoffs weren't amazing, this year has been injury plagued.

Look at how younger potentially cheaper guys stepped up in his absence, shift the money to D and goal or keep Mercer and Holtz or whatever.</div></div>

Meier has been fine considering his ice time has been cut by a few minutes while being stuck on the 3rd line with guys like Tierney/Lazar all year and has had no PP1 time just needs to wait for Ruff to get canned. Not to mention he's been injured a couple times I'm not worried about him.

Yeah I'd be fine with any of that. Just need a different flavor on the devils D if that makes sense too many all offense or all defense dmen on the team and in the system I think the lack of versatility holds them back.

At some point they need to be in the yellow banana business, as Jeff would say.</div></div>

Irrationally attached isn't correct he just has an extremely high ceiling from everything he's shown, I do think you're correct about the right side though too many RHD not enough quality on the left. I'd be fine moving casey in a deal for Hanifin just not with Bahl and a 1st.
