<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CaseyFlyman</b></div><div>I'll d*e on this hill: Peeke is Gudbranson-lite. He gets caved in and his physicality is wildly misplaced most of the time. He's always out of position, looks lost, and flails around trying to make hits that don't make sense. I'd move him to the first GM that thinks he's worth a 3rd or higher, and keep Boqvist who at least can move the puck (and pray he stays healthy). Blanks can be our fan-favorite 7th-D. </div></div>

I will say that I partially agree with you. We did watch him take an impressive stride in his development by the end of the year regarding most of your points. He still did all of that, but he did it less. I'm pretty sure he also played every game which is a pretty big deal in my book. I think he makes a good jump this offseason with a HC who understands the term "defensive gameplan".

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CaseyFlyman</b></div><div>"Danforth - Voronkov - Chinakhov for a couple months in the A to get Voronkov ready to step into the big league." -&gt; I love this idea! </div></div>

Thank you! Not sure how to bring all three back up. Danforth was doing quite well alongside Gaudreau before his injury last year. Seems pretty "Make it or Break it" for his NHL career this year.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CaseyFlyman</b></div><div> If we can stay in the top-3 and pick one of these two, it's an absolute win and I won't complain. Pipe dream is Bedard, ideal is Fantilli at #2, win is Carlsson at #3, heart attack is someone picks Michkov at #3 and we get Carlsson at #4, pain is Bedard, Fantilli, and Carlsson are all gone by the time we pick 4th. </div></div>

Anyone going in the Top 5 is an excellent pickup. Will Smith is pretty good consolation prize and Matvei Michkov (even with the situations surrounding him) could be worth the wait.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CaseyFlyman</b></div><div> If Graves is actually left to walk, I'd absolutely push for him at 5x$5M, but I doubt NJ lets him go or that he comes that cheap. Pettersson isn't likely going anywhere (I'd hate to trade with the Pens anyway), so Mikkola would be fine...as long as he's not on the 2nd pair. Jarmo might have to get creative for LD.</div></div>

NJ will probably lose either Severson or Graves. With the RHD market right now, I bet NJ opts to pay up for him. Market price for Graves will probably be in the $4.25-4.75 million range but I agree he will go near $5.5. Carson Soucy could also be a UFA this year but he's option #3.

For the Jackets to take this one on, I would think they ask for Logan Brown to be dropped off the deal and retention be added. Roslovic is quite valuable for the organization, being a hometown kid and co-face of the local hockey programs with Sean Kuraly. Even with him underperforming his contract, I think they ask for another pick be added instead of Logan Brown.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>AC14</b></div><div>Both pretty bad deals for the Blues. But the signings aren't bad and it probably makes us a better team.

Roslovic isn't much of a center, he's at least young though. Probably worth a 3rd. Don't think it'll take a 1st to move Krug. But i think finding somewhere for him to go would be rather difficult. Not sure if i'ts worth moving a first to do so this offseason though. Brown is probably worthless.

Don't think we'll need to pay to dump scandella unless we are gung-ho on doing it this offseason vs the deadline. Which i get the premise of this is to do it for cap space.

Definitely don't love a 5x5 of Graves, especially if we're paying to offload Krug/Scandella in order to do so. Defense certainly looks more balanced though.</div></div>

I certainly expect a hot market for Ryan Graves with Columbus weaponizing that $20ish million to build a defense. Mayfield looks a little high to me, but that may be the price of doing business with RHD these days.

Surprisingly, this is the first I've seen too much coming back in a Nyquist trade. I think if that were to go through, Toronto would add a bad contract and drop Hollowell. This will also need to happen after the Korpisalo trade.

The Vegas trade is accepted even with it being next year's 3rd rounder. Any missed value is easily covered by an okay center prospect with good team chemistry with Brisson who has former teammates from his UM days. This is a really nice trade and I appreciate the finer details on this one. I think the Jackets could add a late rounder.

Texier is not available for anything less than a 1st rounder and even then I don't think he gets traded until he returns from the mental health program. I really like Jordan Greenway, but this trade will need different assets on the Jackets side.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Cementhead73</b></div><div>Don’t think so, he’s not that good and Puljujarvi is a 4th overall. He just doesn’t get along here. No one will pass him the puck.</div></div>

He was 4th overall, yes. But all signs are pointing toward him being a bust with a 3 million dollar contract. He's worth a third or fourth rounder to a team looking for a reclamation project. Even then, he's a cap dump that has a chance of going back to Europe after this year.

The long established price for Gavrikov is a first and a third. Gavrikov is a good Top 4 LHD and decent stop gap player in the top pairing. Saying he's not that good is laughably incorrect. And don't bother pointing towards "underlying metrics". Those stats don't matter for players who are on terrible teams unless you're willing to break the team down as a whole and notice he's the only bright spot on a team that doesn't play defense.
