<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Greysuits</b></div><div>That's a lot to give up for someone you are going to slot in at 3C. At that point why not just keep Mitts and use that package to trade for a D.</div></div>

That's the point of hockey trades - the only reason the Mitts trade worked was because the Avs wanted a 2C and we wanted a Top4 D. I think Beniers could workout well here as he played A LOT with Power - adding to our culture of guys who want to be here. It would give us the best C depth in the league - Beniers ceiling and pace of play also &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; Mitts. I think the above package would have been an overpay for Byram. I also think with the above there wouldn't even necessarily have to be a 1c.2c.3c - you'd have a 1A,1B,1C and you mix the lines up to ride whoever is on fire

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>AntiAnalytics</b></div><div>Mitts is a good player- he’s been our best forward this year
We need more good players not less
We have enough Cap Room to sign him &amp; still make other moves needed (defensive 4C &amp; RD)
And those roles should be filled by VETS- not old guys in their 30s, but also not a teenager or someone in their first year of pro hockey (ihopeigetit)

ALSO ihopeigetit, those trades aren’t happening
We aren’t trading Skinner
VAN isn’t trading Wallinder

And AGAIN….
Your bottom6 is HIDEOUS
And adding another 19 year old to the defense- even a talented one- is still gonna result in sporadic play just like we saw for the first few years that Dahlin &amp; now Power….


We also don’t need to “make room” for Kulich &amp; Savoie
They’ll break into the lineup when they’ve earned it
And there will be a spot or 2 available next year IF either are actually ready for it- no need to rush them or give them a spot. We’ve already ruined too much young talent doing that BS over the years

Regardless, they’ll still see some call up time though when injuries occur, and if we need to make room at some point, we will. But that’s in the future, NOT now</div></div>

Almost no trade on CapFriendly is happening.... Who cares about the bottom 6 this year? Season is over. Tank for Celebrini. It won't look like this at all next year

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>AntiAnalytics</b></div><div>And after the ‘24-‘25 season we have to sign:
Quinn
Peterka
R.Johnson

How exactly do u propose we do that with a $5-6mil raise in the Salary Cap???

Signing Guentzel into his LATE 30s,
at the expense of good young talent that could be here through their Primes,
is just crazy to me!!!

Sure, the top9 would be good w Guentzel
But I’m not losing Quinn or Peterka to do it
Especially since Guentzel is NOT the “missing piece” that makes us a Cup Contender

It just doesn’t make sense for our Cap
It also makes it hard to sign Levi should he become what we want him to
And there’s no way UPL signs for 4yrs at that Cap hit,
to get him for that long you’d be looking at doubling that number (at least), probably be closer to tripling it really


There’s just no way that Guentzel doesn’t massively screw up our Cap moving forward
He’s not worth it</div></div>

? Not that hard... ? either bridge all 3 or you Buyout Skinner, lose Greenways 3 mil gone, trade Clifton, IF STILL NEEDED then trade one of Cozens/Casey. BUT this is a good problem to have? We cannot assume those 3 are going to bring us out of our slump. If Guentzel wants to come and it makes us a MUCH better team then we should do it
