<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Meeqs</b></div><div>So you let Gabe walk and then massively overpaid for a worse version of Gabe and signed him for a deal that was close enough to have found a way for Gabe to stay?

Then you gave away Kadri for free</div></div>

Anyways, to his point, I agree.

Reinhart's good, but if you're gonna drop 7.6M, I'd personally rather spend that on the captain and heart and soul of the team.

I'd wonder if Ott moves out assets like that for an older rental like Kadri unless they're convinced they can get more for him at the deadline. Without any prospects or young guns going to Ott, and without taking any of their older contracts, I don't know if Ott makes this move when they're still in rebuilding mode.

Curious if you drop that 7.6M on Gabe, what the assets you used to acquire Reinhart could be used on instead. Maybe flip Kadri to someone willing to put up more, and see what upgrades can be had on the middle 6? I'm fine parting with all of those if they upgrade the roster.

Good numbers on Jost and Grubi, although I think they're fair, I wonder if the market is going to bump them up a bit.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Meeqs</b></div><div>You seem pleasant

I feel like I give valid reasoning and don't find anything I say rude. Seems more to me like you are in a bad place and are just taking it that way. I hope your day gets better.

I am also going to make one in the next few days, you are welcome to tell me how bad it is when I do</div></div>

Man, you're not constructive, you call people's ideas garbage without explaining why, you dunk on them without offering any alternatives.

Nothing you said here had any valid reasoning, just be nice man it's not hard.

Even here, I say you're acting like a jackass and you go off about how some stranger is "in a bad place." Buddy, you're the one scouring forums to anonymously tell people their ideas are garbage. I hope you stop and I hope things look up for you, but I'm gonna call a spade a spade, and if I see you acting like a prick, I'm gonna call you prick lmao.

Sujet: Another angle
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Meeqs</b></div><div>I think you are misunderstanding the concept of value in relation to team window. A win now player just does nothing of value for Ott and this year is such a weak year that drop in 1st rounder is not insignificant. Value does not exist in a vaccum.

Col just moved out 8m in cap this past week and would only need to find 1.5m in cap space to sign Buch to a 6x8 so I see no reason why you would be worried about it. It could be done so easily. Have Donskoi's replacement make 2.4m AAV or less: done. Send JTC to the minors: done. It's nbd</div></div>

BUDDY come on now, listen to yourself take your own advice. Of course value doesn't exist in a vacuum. Ottawa's about 2-3 years from really competing, acquiring Strome does one of two things: you find out he's a great fit, he likes the town and the team, stays on board, you expedite that process and ride internal growth into the next year. If he doesn't, you flip him at the deadline for more prospects and assets (all of which, again, are better to have as a rebuilding team as opposed to 30 year old Austin Watson). It's a move that has the potential to move your roster forward, OR give you fodder to acquire assets that'll help you do that — at the absolute worst, if Strome stays past the Deadline AND walks, you have 1.5 million more in cap space next offseason than you did with Watson on the roster, and I promise you players like him grow on trees. Besides, if I'm the owner of Ottawa, and I find out that my GM didn't want a scoring center and two blue-chip prospects bc one of those pieces is technically a "win-now" piece, you bet you're ass I'm firing them. Having Strome opens so many possibilities, you could flip him again, you could sign him, etc AND you're getting prospects and assets to boot? Come on now. You're misevaluating what a "random" year in the draft does to teams big boards. Could very well be Ottawa has their eyes on someone they know will be there at 15, could very well be they're content to take the best available player. Again, the only thing stopping this trade if I'm Ottawa if someone I want is at 10 and isn't going past that.

Yes, COL moved the easiest 8 million they could have on their roster. Who do you move next to clear space bud? Girard? Toews? One of the forwards? How you gonna do that and make sure you're at least getting an on par player? The Buchnevich deal is silly and shortsighted without first addressing Cale, Landy, Grubi, Jost, Timmins, the need for a 6th D, a potential new goalie tandem, etc.

But hey! If you're so certain it'd work, make the roster yourself man, you're literally on the site for it haha. I'm just saying, I think you're wrong here, if you can make it work be my guest, but just spitballing this idea here, it sounds like a bad one.
