<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ReelBigFan</b></div><div>Buffalo isn’t going to pay for JVR, but Ellis probably is done so not moving JVR would be fine for Philly. He put up 22 goals in the last 60 games of the year (after AV got fired) let him bring his value up and trade him at the deadline

Monahan Hayes is interesting. Hayes definitely is the much better player and is pretty much fairly priced, within a million of what he should be getting id say… I guess taking Kylington would be a good deal. He’d probably play with York on the 3rd pair

Would also clear cap next year or let Philly flip Monahan for like a 3rd if anyone needs a 4C</div></div>

The best post yet so far in here haha. Yeah the Hayes one is pretty good. I'm not a Philly fan, just bored at work and I like to think I have interesting ideas. My thought process for Monahan is he could probably benefit from a change of scenery and someone like Torts will either make or break him. He could be a good depth C for cheaper or return to form. Either way, Philly could keep him in what would be a good trade or deal him at the deadline.

My thought process for BUF taking JVR is he only has 1 year left on his contract and he scores goals, especially on the PP. I think BUF might want to do that deal as it's low risk. But I'm just spit balling here.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SlevinKalevra</b></div><div>I’m not a big Suter fan but I think the narrative has gotten a little out of hand. He does the job and doesn’t cost a lot. He’s a very bland player to watch and the way he plays can look lazy sometimes. Yes he plays with Miro and gets fed some pretty good minutes, but his numbers are strong for a guy only making 3.65 million. Not having Suter and running Lindell-Klinger and Harley-Heiskanen as a top four would be nice but it would also be very expensive. You’d have 21 million tied up for the next three years. Harley gets his next deal in two. What do you do if Harley plays himself into a pretty substantial raise while you’ve still got Esa (and Benn) on the books? Say you bridge him. Then he’s ready for his big contract in 2-3 years after that and Klinger’s contract is still around. Ruh roh. Some of these other young guys are looking for money too. See what I mean? Nill is doing a nice job getting ready to build around what young players he has coming. Draft, develop, support. Marchment will be a nice affordable addition that helps bring in our young centers. Suter is an affordable player that can compliment Miro. Miller is an affordable player that can compliment Harley. Hakanpaa is an affordable player that can compliment Lindell (who I think is capable of a lot more if he’s given his own pair). Once Harley gets going I’m all for putting him with Miro and Suter with Miller. But Harley needs to show he belongs on the top pair. Suter isn’t my favorite but he is still a top four D if he doesn’t have to carry the pair. Lots of rambling kinda all over the place sorry haha</div></div>

Oh, you are totally fine rambling my friend. We're talking about a sport that we are both passionate about, and a team we both know.

I am of the opinion that Suter is lazy and it's come out from mutliple teammates that he complains about everything (ice time, PP time, ect. I watch about 95% of Stars games last season and he sometimes stands up straight and glides in the defensive zone. He is too passive for our defensive system and his ice time should be 8-ish minutes less. I am also of the opinion that he is holding Miro back because Suter is a defensive liabilty, especially when their opposing team is in transition from defense to offense.

On Klinger, for as long as he has been a Star, and I watched him come up as a rookie, I am glad to see him walk. He was beginning to be a consistent minus player, which is a very bad thing to be if you are an OFD that puts up 50 ish points....that means you are letting more in than that, which isn't good from one of your best dman. We didn't have the cap without trading someone major. I also think we'll see Lindell improve. He's good for about 30-35 points, all while being a good defensive dman. He can pass, shoot, transition, and move someone off the puck.

My defense pairings, at least for training camp would be:

Lindell-Miro--&gt;it's worked out well in the past
Suter-Miller
Harley-Hawks

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NMAvsFan</b></div><div>Well, if they produced the way they did when they signed them, it wouldn't be a problem but they've declined pretty rapidly. Amazing that 38 y/o Pavs outplays them every year.</div></div>

Benn hasn't been the same since his double hip surgery and he played injured most of the season he won the Art Ross. Seguin has been borderline injury prone the last 4 years and it's been taking a massive toll on his body. He was looking like he'd bounce back next season by the way he played in the last half of last year.

Faksa, at the time of signing that $3.25M contract, was looking like he was close to being the next 2C for Dallas. We just needed like 5-10 more goals out of him. He played very well defensively and has a great shot. But unfortunately, most of the Stars didn't play as well as before under Bowness and his new system he tried to implement in 2021. Dallas got to the SCF still playing Monty's system in 2020.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SlevinKalevra</b></div><div>I’d even hesitate to trade him for Schneider to be honest. We need to be transitioning to the new core of Hintz, JRob, Miro while doing our best to get the most out of Benn, Segs, and Pavs. JRob and Hintz get us a lot out of Pavs. I’d like to see Marchment and Peterson get us more out of Segs. Bourque could get us more out of Benn and Guri. We are going to miss Klinger on the back end but hopefully Harley can take a big step forward. And hopefully we get the healthy Vegas version of Miller not the banged up Buffalo version</div></div>

Harley looked good the last 5 games or so he played before the playoffs. He should've been playing over Hanley IMO. Guri should get his game back and I'm hoping Petey and Harley take that next step. If they do, we'll see Dallas rising in the scoring column. Please DeBoer, put Suter on the third pairing where he belongs, thanks.
