Sujet: Retool not rebuild
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SupremeBone</b></div><div>The only way EDM invests such a significant amount of cap into a goalie is if Skinner has a 2nd piss poor playoff run.

Even if he does play badly, I'm convinced they'd be confident in Jarry being so much better as to warrant investing 5.3mil<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SupremeBone</b></div><div>The only way EDM invests such a significant amount of cap into a goalie is if Skinner has a 2nd piss poor playoff run.

This is definitely me projecting Skinner to not be good and fall on his face. At the end of the day, a prospect for Jarry. Regardless of the team. Leafs. Devils. Oilers. Whoever needs a goalie.

It's less about Broberg and more about the idea of shedding Jarry to get a prospect who's close to NHL ready back. Similar to Dubas' sentiment of not wanting as many draft picks and preferring prospects.</div></div>

Sujet: Realistic Offseason July 2nd Rumours
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Pensman69</b></div><div>More so about McGinn and the picks comjng back. Take their picks coming back to us out and McGinn and maybe throw in Hallander. 1st + Hallander + late pick could probably get a deal done. But I don’t think DeBrusk is going anywhere it seems like over time his trade request has slowly diminished away</div></div>

So I see McGinn and a 1st straight up for Debrusk as an overpayment, and I also think although Boston is entering a retool, I dont think they wanna be giving up Roster players for prospects just yet. I think at least McGinn gives them a roster player that is useful to them and could fill in on their left side. Plus they get the first they liekly want for debrusk. A first if your Pittsburgh you are hoping is a very late one.

I think you could take out one of the picks boston is sending and it would be decent value still for pit but if you take out both picks I dont think its a fair deal. Debrusk is solid but he's not a roster player plus a 1st solid.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Hullsy09</b></div><div>I think a lot of the problems with Debrusk were with Cassidy, but now that he’s gone idk if there are still problems. I could see debrusk being a target but I wouldn’t move a first for him. I would maybe offer a 2nd, a 3rd and McGinn. I would also want to give him a look on Crosby’s line and try a guentzel-Malkin-rust line - just to try it and shake things up, could always go back if it doesn’t work.

Overall this is very well thought out and I agree with basically everything else. If the Debrusk thing doesn’t work out, I could see Marchment or Vatrano being options in UFA</div></div>

I just looked at the LW UFA market and thought BLAH. Everyone was either going to be overpaid middle 6 wingers who you are hoping can play at a top 6 level, or legit top 6 guys commanding 5mil or higher. Which PIT really cant afford. So i started looking at either middle 6 forwards at a good price, or top 6 LWs that are on the block and Debrusk seemed like a good fit. I think your right, cassidy being gone really changes the landscape for Debrusk, but as far as the latest rumours are concerned he's still OTB.

There is a few people that you could target for 2nd line LW.

Pony up in FA for Burakovsky, Palat, Nichuskin, Neidereiter, etc

Risk it in FA on a middle 6 guy like Mikheyev, Domi, Marchment, etc

Resign a guy like EROD or Heinen for the top 6

Go after high value guys in a trade like JT Miller, or Necas

or go after mid value wingers in trade like Debrusk, or Kubalik. I prefer the last option.

I'm from Moose Jaw. I've seen Mateychuk play live many times. I will say this, with the exception of Brayden Point. I cant remember a better player in my lifetime. I'm not one to call certain hometown guys elite because of my bias either. I was quick to call Brett Howden a bad pick in the first round cause I'd seen him play live enough to know. Same with Brayden Tracey (however the jury is still out on him cause he is young). I will say this. Mateychuk should be a top 15 pick, at least. He is the best Moose Jaw warrior i have ever seen, if he slides to 21 and we grab him I will literally scream with Joy. He is a left handed kris letang I promise you. His questions about defending ability are non-existent to me. I watched him absolutely shutdown Connor Geekie and Matty Savoie every time they were on the ice with him, yes I know Winnipeg won that playoff series but I promise you, those two "elite" guys were never effective when Mateychuk was on them.
