Sujet: Maximize Assets!
A perennial 30 goal scorer, young winger, a first and a second are scraps now? I admit that it might take more than that for Hamilton, but Flames would be dealing from a position of depth at D to address their weakness up front. Would be huge for their top 6.
According to Hockey's Future the Rangers have no future number one in their system- Pickard has been a starter in the past and is still young/developing. Who is this heir apparent to Hank that you speak of?

Bozak for 2 seconds is totally fair. Remember Brett Connoly? Price was 2 seconds. Lars Eller? 2 seconds. It seems to be the going rate for a decent top 6 good top 9 forward.

And I'm not convinced Sam Gagner is the guy, though I'd be happy if they got him. What they need is a cost effective 3C who can hold the spot for Aaltonen/Brooks/Gaultier in a couple years.

As far as the money goes, whats the issue? You lose 10.5 million with shedding martin/bozak/jvr and add 10 back...

Thanks ON3M4N, I live in Toronto so its tough to find somebody who knows the B's to bounce ideas off of. Not to mention the media doesn't talk about it. I really liked Dominic Moore on the fourth line for leadership and faceoffs, but understand he's far past his prime. As for Joe I know its a pipe dream he's always been my favourite player and I've never quite gotten over the shitty way he got booted from Boston.

For Pasta I'd love to get him cheaper but I had no idea where negotiations sit between him and Sweeney. Sounds like a reasonable deal for both sides. Spooner is a guy I can't quite figure- I like him but I think what I like is his potential- problem is theres a point where a guy is who he is and isn't developing anymore. I hope he's not there yet.

I wouldn't quite call Cave crap, from what I've heard he's got solid 4th line PK potential and oozes character. I know its a lot of buzzwords but sounds like a guy every winning team needs. I like the idea of a guy like Zucker who can play on the 3rd and maybe slide to the 2nd, so I'd be willing to throw in a 3rd pick to even things out. Next year (contract year too) is definately a big year for Zucker.

I like the idea of Beleskey but plain and simple he hasn't been good enough. Ive heard he has fans around the league though so maybe George McPhee is one and we can get out from his contract for free.

I hadn't heard about Krejci saying that flat-out, so that changes things. I hate NMCs cause they can really handcuff teams in this kind of situation. He's still a good player but I shudder because years down the line we have to pay McAvoy Carlo Senyshyn DeBrusk etc and we'll still be stuck paying him 7 million per for his declining services

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>rangersandislesfan</b></div><div><div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Bosronto_Maple_Bruins</b></div><div>I think it would make sense if Tavares gets moved to go full rebuild and look at what you can get for <strong>grabo</strong>/kulemin/hickey/seidenberg/boychuk/chimera/clutterbuck. They're all guys that will be long gone by the time the ho-sang/strome/dal colle are ready. Its hard though because they have so many good players in or entering their prime already. Picks seem to be the thing to target, but Garth Snow is gonna Garth Snow so ya never know lol</div></div>

you can't get anything for Grabovski's contract. He's never going to play again.
And are you saying they shouldn't sign another top 6 forward if they lose JT?????</div></div>

I thought Grabo was probably done but theres always creative accounting (Pronger/Horton/Savard...) that can be done. And no I'm not exactly saying they shouldn't sign another top 6, just that they need to take a good hard look at what they've got. I would consider the trade I mentioned earlier, for Krejci, if you want to stay the competitive course. But if I'm the GM I think going forward with what you have already in the pipeline and letting your youth excel could be the best path towards competing long term. I really like the prospects the Isles have and I think a lot of them are ready to take the next step.

Sujet: Trading the Sedins
I see why you'd want them to retire as canucks, but its kind of sad to think of them retiring 2 years down the road after 2 years of wallowing in the depths of a rebuild.
Great analysis DragonRaptorHybrid, you seem to really know your stuff, and I'd agree that the Panthers look to be a good fit for them. Looking at the Panthers depth at forward they didn't seem to miss Johnathan Huberdeau last year when he was hurt and with Barkov/Bjugstad/Trocheck I think they can afford to give up some of their younger talent (Especially with his $5.9 mil cap hit).
For the Canucks a Horvat/Huberdeau 1-2 punch would be incredible, and although the Panthers AHL unit doesn't have huge depth, targeting a low risk/high reward talent like Dryden Hunt and a young d man (Downing) along with picks sounds like you're getting close to a deal. I doubt the return would be much more than that from anyone else due to the money they're both owed

Sujet: Vancouver Canucks 2017-18 (Tank)
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>stuartsherratt3</b></div><div>It would be basically impossible for the Canucks to trade the Sedins at this point. 1 they have a combined 14M cap hit which only the Hurricanes can afford right now. And even if the Canucks retain the max on both the twins only 3 teams can afford them (CAR NJD FLA). 2nd their no trade clause is a killer but they might wave. 3rd considering all of this the only team who would want the Sedins are cup contenders and they usually lack prospects.

Trading the Sedins would be great but it's just not gonna happen.</div></div>

Thats kind of what I thought. I was thinking about SJ or ANA because I could see both teams shuffling the deck. As a SJ fan, looking at the roster, if you could move out some money from your defense, (Braun?) then put Hertl and a couple picks together, it'd be interesting to see what vancouver would say.
I only say Anaheim because with the expansion draft,their defensive logjam, and another (potential) disappointing playoff run, I could see them making a drastic change.
Plus I get the impression the Sedins would love to stay on the west coast if possible

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>clark</b></div><div>Since in your trade, the Sharks never sent any money to the Bruins, wouldn't the Shark be better to keep their assets and spend 7.25 on UFA centre maybe even Thornton instead of on a long term contract with Krejci.?</div></div>

Good call Clark... I can see the Sharks going that route. I get the feeling that Joe is done in SJ though... just feel like for him and the team its time to move on. But another UFA, maybe Hanzal? I really love Meier though but it'd be costly.
Switched it up to a deal with the Isles. Terrible management and ownership mean that they could be fleeced in a deal lol... but seriously with Tavares gone (I'm assuming for this deal) I can see krejci fitting there if the bruins ate some cash

Sujet: Wild
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Shipton19</b></div><div><div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Bosronto_Maple_Bruins</b></div><div>Funny I just published a Bruins mock that also had Kevan Miller going to the Wild, along with a B level prospect, for Jason Zucker. Would you do that deal instead of Pominville?
If you can convince Vegas to take Scandella thats a huge help for your D corps and saves a lot of cap room. Good looking team</div></div>

i`d rather keep Zucker and move pommer, he makes to much and he`s getting old. Zucker has more upside</div></div>

Agreed, thats why I wanted him lol. I'd make the deal for Pominville ONLY if Wild ate half of his contract and there was no pick involved. I don't think he's worth more than 2.8 million for his last 2 seasons
