Sujet: Sway for Hischier deal
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Birtle34</b></div><div>You have to look at goalie ufa market to gauge the replacement or upgrade value of a goalie, possibly look something similar at the hishier replacement value. The margin between the 4/5 year older ufa that wants similiar money and term to hishier makes him rather more valuable than the difference between swayman and top ufa goalie, ufa goalie possibly a bandaid approach, but keeps your captain in the fold. Nj sinks or swims with Hughes and hishier.</div></div>

The hardest part of reading these is the level of trying to over complicate the obvious trade. Ullmark to the Devils makes a ton of sense, but between Devils fans getting greedy trying to get Swayman and now this.

For the record, I did post a sarcastic deal involving these two previously. See them being on the same realm of not happening no matter how many times people try to mansplain why goalies are worth less when their goalies suck

Sujet: Trade them both
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>wescam</b></div><div>I think if you are bringing in veteran leadership to speak to this team it needs to be someone who has played at a high level, I do not think I would want either contract with injuries and age but I thought this might be a solution for both</div></div>

I wouldnt be opposed to bringing in couture if he was retained so the sens could maintain a bit of cap flexibility, but the sharks have all their retention slots used up next season so it wouldnt be possible. He is also 35 years old and is coming off a season-ending injury himself, so im not sure the injury risk is necessarily lower than norris. If we need a 3C with leadership (which I do think we need), I think there would be cheaper and more cost effective options

Sujet: Bradyyyy
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SpiderSpiderSpider28</b></div><div>I definitely think you're in the right here, Brady is leaps bounds valleys and miles away the most valuable player in this trade and Ottawa truly has 0 reason to trade him unless the deal makes sense. An older player who's slightly worse and a pending UFA, an older LHD with a big contract who would be the 3rd best LHD in their system, and a couple of good but not great picks isn't close to what Ottawa should be asking for here IMO.

If I were Ottawa, my semi-realistic asking price for Tkachuk alone (not even beginning to think about Chychrun) would be Farabee, Bonk, Philly's 2024 1st as a baseline with them probably even adding a little bit more</div></div>

Yes that’s probably more realistic. Or Crouse + Arizona 1st this year plus a couple of 2nds .

Sujet: Dubois Worst deal in the league
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Bcarlo25</b></div><div>first off, there is zero evidence that this was discussed. there was speculation from reporters. obviously, it doesn't make any sense. it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that the worst contract in the league isn't moved for positive value.

secondly, ullmark shut down talks with LA, why do we think that changes?</div></div>

The more this has been discussed, the more I believe the deal was Matt Roy and a goalie for Linus Ullmark. Maybe an extra pick to Boston.

Boston went out and got a player in Andrew Peeke who plays RD and has a physical profile similar to Roy plus Ullmark on a one year contract is at the exact dollar figure where LA can sign Byfield to a non bridge deal.

On a side note, I read a lot of Boston fans stating with a high degree of confidence that Don Sweeney would NOT trade for the PLD contract.

I am confident that if he likes his physical skill set and fit in the team, Don Sweeney has the guts to do any deal regardless of the public perception and probably wouldn’t listen to any of the hyperbole about his contract. I also believe he wouldn’t let a limited sample size change his opinion of a player. While I wouldn’t want a PLD deal, he was someone Sweeney was rumored to have discussed acquiring earlier in the year from Winnipeg and he has some strengths that are currently weaknesses on the Boston roster. I am pretty confident if he did this deal, he would extract the value necessary to take the contract though I’m not sure how much that would that be. Sweeney is a good GM.
