Thread: The most interesting offseason
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MNBassman</b></div><div>Give me some intel on Sparks and Rosen...I know nothing about them.
IF I was to consider trading Dumba to Toronto, I want Liljegren coming back. Otherwise, I would go after the Islanders 2 1st round picks this summer for Dumba.
Ryan Murphy is horrible! If the Wild are going to have him play a significant role next year, they are in big trouble. Of course, if you are planning on a complete rebuild...he makes perfect sense.

Oh, and Granlund doesn't play center...hasn't for 2 years.</div></div>

Sparks had a breakout year in the AHL. 24-years-old I believe. Top goaltender in the AHL, on a top team. Probably a 1b at best still, but has NHL potential for sure. Rosen was signed as a UFA out of SEL last year. 2-way defender, didn't make the team out of camp, and its a pretty shallow lineup to crack. He's got top-6 potential, maybe 20-25 points.

Thread: Year #1: HEADLINE: Bergevin Out! Pierre McGuire... IN ;)
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>palhal</b></div><div>You're right, they won't. Any team can spend 5.5m better than Petry and also keep Leivo, Neilsen and a pick.

And why would any team hire McQuire? He's really a TV personality now and is years away from doing anything meaningful in the NHL. Do you really want a TV personality running your team? It would be like putting a TV personality in the White House.</div></div>

He's French. It was a joke. I think y'all take this like 8 notches overboard, but its extremely comical to come and see how much everyone's panties are in a knot over the 15 clicks I made in 10 minutes. Might be giving up a bit much for Petry - he's a righty as mentioned above and if you don't think that gets taken into account, you're very mistaken. Take Nielsen out of the trade if it makes you happy.

My friend, thank you for your criticism on my Rangers deadline outlook, here is mine on yours:

1. Deangelo is already a rag doll, he will not fetch Sam Reinhart. He's also young and the Rangers seem to be after that. 4th round picks aren't persuading Jason Botteril. 4/10

2. Quite unlikely the Oilers to trade JP, especially when it brings their cap crunch forward NOW. 2/10

3. Desharnais should probably fetch a 4th - good valuation 10/10

4. Again, Vesey is probably a guy they'll hold on to in trying to get younger. He'll benefit from Nash leaving. Vancouver is already patting themselves nicely on the back for reclaiming Pouliot so unlikely that they give him up as he fits their model right now. 4/10

5. UFA to be Rick Nash will not, I repeat, WILL NOT fetch a 1st and Eeli Tolvanen. Not even if he had 2 more years on his contract. 2/10

6. Pavalec for a 5th is good 9/10

7. Holden for a 3rd and a 6th is good - 10/10

8. Actually really like the McDonagh trade. Considering cap retained, they might even do a little better 10/10

9. Not quite sure Dallas will be willing to give that much for Zucc. The value is accurate but not sure its a fit.

11. Patrick Marleau - Carolina Hurricanes; 2 Years @ 2.1M + NMC

12. Andrei Markov - Montreal; 1 Year @ 3M + NMC

13. Jaromir Jagr - (Realistically) Florida; 1 Year @ 3.3M. (Cause I want to see another travelling Jagr) Nashville Predators; 1 Year @ 3.4M

14. Mike Fisher - You know its a bad free agent class when 14 and 15 have relatively good betting odds of retiring, BUT... Nashville; 1 Year @ 1.4M

15. Brian Elliott - Pittsburgh; 1 Year @ 2M


Alright I stuck my neck out there for fun... let me have it.

whats the deal on Quine? Is he even an NHL credible talent or more a fringe NHLer?</div></div>

I think Quine is a suitable scroring 3rd liner. I think he'd fit the Av's project in the long term on an affordable deal, probably some secondary scoring, and more opportunity than what he gets on the Island. You want to keep Tavares, I think it would be smart to prove to him you're going to help him out. Carolina is probably the only team that would challenge the Islanders for top-4 depth - they've also been rumored to be a trade partner for Duchene but they don't have a superstar that they NEED to make happy.
