With the depth of LD prospects the Hawks have, they would not give Soucy a 5 year deal, if they target him at all. It's very likely that Vlasic and Phillips are 2/3 of their left side on D next season.

I can see the Hawks having an interest in Yegor, but not at that price. Hawks '23 3rd (#67) is probably as much as they'd offer. If the Hawks take on Murray, it would only be to get the Boston '23 1st in a pick swap. Too much uncertainty swapping '24 picks.

I also think the Hawks will make a strong run at a UFA forward who can play in the top 6 as well. A Killorn, Bunting, Tatar, Nyquist type of guy. On a one or two year deal at an over market AAV.

For not being a Chicago fan this isnt that bad.

Chicago shouldn't sign any of the FA d men, rumour is that C. Jones will not be qualified.

They have a handful of young guys d men that need experience. Chicago has to find out if any of these guys are NHL caliber, the only way is to let them play. Which also plays into having another top 5 OA pick next year.

Philips, Regula, Vlasic and potentially Mitchel if they resign him. Kurashev will be in the lineup if he signs, management likes him.

Wouldn't pay that much for Sharangovich. FC's are about the best EDM can expect for Yamo, at least from CHI that is. Probably wouldn't not do that Murray dump trade. Then again, even with top 10 protection, it could pay off big time in the end.

Forum: Armchair-GM26 juin 2023 à 10 h 20

I like that trade with Edmonton. Definitely agree it works for both teams. A bottom feeder should definitely take a shot on him. He should be free or cost VERY little to acquire.
Leafs would need to top 10 protect that pick. I would also see if I could snag a 2023 2nd in that trade instead. But overal value is fine. I would much rather do our 2023 1st though since we know its 28th overall.
I think you overpaid for Sharangovich here btw. Remove one of the picks and it's fair.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>vikhodush</b></div><div>Need to do a little more imo.

Bring Freddy back or another 1A on the market. Could see Raanta coming back too but wouldn’t go with just this combo. Too much to risk on Koochie and can’t give Raanta more than 25-30.

Need to use that cap space to address top 6 - likely in a trade for another high end winger imo. Somebody like Cat, Keller would be great but other options are good too. I’m good with KK as 2C as long as he’s surrounded with talent.

Would also improve the third line and get a piece or two there. Would love if we essentially shifted last years third line to the fourth line and brought in some big and or gritty guys on the third line - likely trade route bc I don’t want to overpay for Bert or Barby.

I like the OEL move a lot but would also snag a 6/7D backup option in case needed. Seeler would be great I think.</div></div>

I think we don’t even need to trade for a winger. Bertuzzi would be a perfect fit, just offer him $6M x 4 year and he rounds out the top 6 great

There's 2 positions Ottawa has absolutely ZERO need for the foreseeable future : Center and LD

Centers : Stutzle - Norris - Pinto - Kastelic (Greig and Ostapchuk are also centers) ++

LHDs : Chabot, Sanderson, Chychrun, Brannstrom, Kleven ++

Forum: Armchair-GM25 juin 2023 à 16 h 56

Ottawa declines.

Drake is on a really good deal for a few years, and Ott needs him, especially with ABD going.

Ott already has "goalie prospects with starter potential", they need to a proven starter. And they're set at center with Stu, Norris, Pinto, Kastelic. No need for one year of Backlund

Forum: Armchair-GM25 juin 2023 à 17 h 39

I love Backlund and would take him without a problem even at 100% but by sending Batherson the other way? No way Jose

Sens keep the guy who is 9 years younger, has 4 more years left on a steal of a contract vs a guy who is UFA to be.

Vladar and the picks are a detail here, we don't care that much about Vladar...

Not only the value is completely OFF, but this doesn't make any lick of sense for Ottawa

Forum: Armchair-GM25 juin 2023 à 17 h 11

I will say that I appreciate the effort put in here, makes it easier to see where you’re coming from.
I think the Florida trade is good for both teams.
I think the Pens trade would have to be 24 1st+Smith for Toffoli. 24 1st would likely be later than 2023 1st, but I’m all for them getting a 23 1st and a player for Toffoli.
Flames should pass on that Caps trade, I think there will be better offers.
I can’t see Ottawa trading Batherson for Backlund and Vladar

If he’s retained on then I think it’s fine for canes to take a flier on him and see if they can figure out how to deploy him. Seems like a PP specialist a la Hoffman 2.0. There’s value there bc of his shot but can you trust him in big games with his skating and defensive deficiencies? If he’s going to be glued to the bench or in the press box during the playoffs it just doesn’t do much for us.

Forum: Armchair-GM23 juin 2023 à 11 h 34

Ullmark isn’t a bad fit with the canes but with all the options available both via UFA and trade, I don’t think it’s worth them using assets like this for Ullmark. Rather just bring back Freddy on a 2x4.5 deal and use those assets to shop for top 6 help or second pair replacement if Pesce moves on.

Forum: Armchair-GM23 juin 2023 à 11 h 35

I'm taking Lysell 1 for 1 against Scheifele at this point in his career. 1 year of DeBrusk is okay and the pick is whatever.

WPG takes this deal and ideally signs DeBrusk to an extension.

Forum: Armchair-GM23 juin 2023 à 11 h 30

Think the deal is fairly reasonable. Most canes fans aren’t too high on Olof (especially at full cap) or UPL but Krebs is a nice piece.

I don’t think they’d roll UPL Koochie tandem next year so I’d revise trade to Krebs and 23 first and take out the other two pieces. Probably too much for BUF with the first so maybe swap Krebs with a prospect instead.

Forum: Armchair-GM23 juin 2023 à 11 h 26

Pretty reasonable, I think you probably have to swap the second round pick with a top 10 protected in 24, just to bump the value up a bit. I would wanna swap Krebs with mittelstadt, but I would be fine with either to get pesce. Basically, Samuelsson pairs with dahlin and power would pair with pesce. That gives the young first overall picks a legitimate defensive partner to open up their games.

Forum: Armchair-GM23 juin 2023 à 11 h 24

The trade is probably fair as long as it comes along with an extension in place, might be a slight overpay with the 2nd thrown in. I'd rather give up Rosen or Ostlund rather than Krebs. I also don't think the Sabres sign that many UFA forwards as they already have a bunch of forwards under contract, with Jost likely being qualified as an RFA and prospects like Savoie and Kulich possibly making the jump to the NHL.

Forum: Armchair-GM23 juin 2023 à 11 h 1

Lysell is nice, but I doubt the Jets consider 1 year of DeBrusk. They'd be looking for young roster or close to roster players with team control. You likely need to add a 1st as well.
