Sujet: Eichel
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Xqb15a</b></div><div>Taking quantity over quality never works in the end. If BUF trades they are already losing, if they lose in the trade ie don’t get at least two very high end pieces literally they are worse off for the next decade (if that’s possible). I mean it’s a nice package but essentially the 2nd line from a current non playoff team, a prospect that has given some weird interviews about being traded , and a hodge podge of middle of the round picks. My contention has always been they need a draw to come back in an Eichel trade, Lafrienere is that draw. But that’s just my opinion.</div></div>

May I simply point out the Erik Karlsson Trade. At the time of the trade, Ottawa was in the same position as Buffalo currently is. Everyone thought they did terribly with that trade prioritizing quantity over quality. Well turns out that trade was unbeleivably one sided.

For a full rebuild, it might actually be better from an asset management POV to turn one asset into 7.

Who Knows. Kravtsov and Chytil might turn out better than Laf. Eichel might never be the same. Those draft picks may turn out to be the next Stutzle / Norris.

The future is unpredictable. And those who think they can predict it, often get bit in the ass.

I like this trade for buffalo because they get more a ton of assets in the long term while staying ''competitive'' in the short term. Buch and Strome come to right the ship in short term but could also potentially be traded in the future to get even more assets.

Sujet: Tarasenko trade from ott fan
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>West_Virginia_Take_Me_Home</b></div><div>Tkachuk has had three seasons under his belt averaging around 45 points a season. Tarasanko had one 45 point season followed up by three 75 point seasons. The ceiling is a lot higher on Tarasanko. The trade comes down to this.
1.) is tarasanko recovered from his shoulder, all indicators say yes. Its still a gamble for some teams.
2.) He's arguably too old for a team thats in a complete rebuild. Ottawa would want someone that can stick around and build a team around. And Tarasanko isn't going to waste his talent on a team that's not competitive. You're talking 5-10 years before this team could be a serious contender.
3.) They're just bad trading partners in this context. Unless you wanted to do a Tarasanko and Blais for Tkachuk. But you'd still need to add.
3.)</div></div>

Can't just take into account point production. Brady is a unique player as he leads the league in shots on net and also has a real chance to lead the league in hits as well. Would be first player ever to do both in a single season. Oh, and also not talking about his leadership intangibles and the fact that he is an asset that will gain in value compared to Tarasenko.

If you are expecting a Tkachuk-like return, there will be no good trading partners, ever, but perhaps, you just underated Tkachuk.

I am not saying blues should/would accept the trade, I was only trying to get a sense of what it would need. You are right though that the major hurdle would be to convince Tarasenko to come play for an up and coming team.

Ott isn't 5-10 years away... more likely 3-7, but a player like Tarasenko can perhaps bring to them to within 2 years of contention as what they really lack is a Proven Goal Scorer.

Sujet: Tarasenko trade from ott fan
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TrueCanuck</b></div><div>From Ottawa's perspective, you make this deal look incredibly stupid for them to make (no offence meant).

You call Dadonov a poor man's Tarasenko, okay fine everyone has their comparisons.. but if he's a slightly lesser version of the player they're getting, is he really that much worse than a guy with untaped potential as you say, a high end offensive prospect, and a very early 2nd? .. I think if there's that serious of injury concerns around Tarasenko then the return wouldn't be this high. It's more likely around Brown and the 2nd, maybe make it a lottery protected 1st. Smaller parts could be negotiated, but this deal as is for Ottawa is still a lateral move. The big return for St.Louis should be the cap space since they have guys that need to be re-signed that will likely cost quite a bit, not the players coming back.</div></div>

Haha just trying to sell the trade to st louis fans

Ottawa has given up on brown a little bit and with Stutzle, Norris, Pinto, White, Tierney all able to play center, he doesn't have a clear path to the nhl. Surely they are looking to trade him before expansion.

Dadonov has been okay at best, as has Tarasenko. But if I am Ottawa I am willing to bet on Tarasenkos reaching his potential again more than Brown and I am willing to pay a very early second pick to make that bet.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BCAPP</b></div><div>Why on earth are you signing Foote to that? Its all name recognition, he is looking fine, but he is no where near worth that</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Hedman77</b></div><div>He hasn't been bad but he hasn't been notable</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Hedman77</b></div><div>This reminds me of sim leagues from a couple years ago where Foote was Medium Elite</div></div>

one word: development curve.

Foote has all the assets that are required to be a top pairing in NHL. Skating, Size, Smarts. Defenseman like that don't grow on trees.... but they do grow!!

Give Foote 4-5 years and 4.7Mil will look like a bargain... exactly when Ottawa's window should be.

I really have the feeling, he might be the first player ever to be offersheeted.

TBL might prefer to re-sign savard as he fits in their win-now window.

Foote might prioritize signing with Ott over other teams as he would skate right into TOP RHD role

Sujet: US olympic team
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Ste_Catherine_Street</b></div><div>Yea I'm definitely not a fan of JT Miller, so I'm in that group. I'd drop Trocheck to 3rd line (he or Wheeler as 3c) put Eichel as 2c, Mat Tkachuk at RW, then Connor and Patches as 1Lw &amp; 2LW and then Guentzel on 3rd line</div></div>

Connor - Matthews - Tkachuk
Patches- Eichel - Kane
Guentzel - Trochek - Wheeler

Ok so I have a few issues here... One is all LH on first line. I guess it can work but not my personal ideal situation. Also that second line, as much as it has the potentiel to be amazing ofensively, they will be WOEFUL in their own zone. Can't have that against Canada.

Here is a proposal for you to fit Patches in and have Eichel as a center.

M. Tkachuk - Matthews - Debrincat (World Junior Line)
B. Tkachuk - Eichel - K.Hayes (Boston connection)
Patches - Trochek - Kane (I like the Kane- Patches combo... but Trichek brings mroe D than eichel)
Connor - Larkin - Wheeler

Guentzel and Oshie as extras.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>oilsince95</b></div><div>Love Byram's potential as a top dman in the future, but I am so confused why people think he'll be on this team in less than a year from now. Like, is it realistic he will actually be a better option than even his own teammate Sam Girard by next year's Olympics? Would love to know the reasoning behind the pick. It perplexes me lol.</div></div>

Reasoning is I expect Bowen to play next to Makar next year for Colorado and for years to come.

I agree Girard is better than Byram right now. But I don't see two small frames Girard and Makar on the same pair, for Colorado or Canada.

When I look at the lack of depth for LHD for Team Canada, and try to find a suitable bigger body, defensive responsable D-Men to pair with Makar... I must conclude Byram has as good of shot as anybody, especially if he plays well next year next to him.

Other names I expect to be looked at for LHD is Nurse and Morrissey. With Nurse having the better shot. I thought Chabot was a lock a year ago, now I'm not so sure.

Sujet: Quebec - No drouin
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Club_de_Hockey_le_Canadien</b></div><div>That's just foolish. Drouin hasn't been playing his best hockey recently but he's got the speed and the skills to be a solid top six forward. When he's playing well he's substantially better than Roy and Lafreniere.</div></div>

Exactly... he has the speed and skill to be in the TOP 6. I actually think he could fit very well next to Bergeron and Mantha... but Huberdeau is better in that spot.

Is he going to take a place on the second line next to Dubois? I rather see a Perron - Marchessault reunion, myself. The team needs RH shots and Perron is having an unbeleivable year. There is an argument you could make for Drouin instead of Marchessault, but I don't see it.

On the Third line next to pageau... the left wing is Lafrenière's. There is no way you are not putting him. He is the the poster boy for Quebec future. He also fits better in a checking role because of his IQ which is far and above drouin's. Also, you can't take stanley cup winner gourde out of the lineup... especially since he has proven to be very valiable in a third line role.

Can't put him on the fourth, that's just foolish.

You could put him as an extra, but I wantt players that can play up and down. Left and right. Also, not sure a Drouin in the stands is going to be beneficial in the dressing room..... tampa situation all over again! Most important carateristic for 13 and 14 th forward is attitude and leadership.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Radu47</b></div><div>The trend here of a player having a slightly down year and then perception of them plummeting wildly is really unfortunate and counterproductive 😐</div></div>

Drouin has had ''down years'' ever since he is in montreal lol

To use your terms, he is a wildly unproductive player when not surrounded correctly and it is unfortunate that he get's a bad wrap for it but it is totally counterproductive to think that he can drive a line by himself.

Every since he arrived, I was led to beleive that he was supposed to be good when paired with a defensive centerman and a goal scoring Powerforward. We have waited 3 years to fianlly create this line template : Drouin - Suzuki - Anderson line... and he still having a down year?

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Kotkaniemi15</b></div><div>Umm what? Why would we even trade Kulak for Zub straight up?</div></div>

Montreal does it to save almost 1M in cap space...

Also, they have too-many LD with Romanov, Mete and Kulak essentially all playing the same position.

I think they should acquire a defensively responsible RD to pair with Romanov.... but those are very rare on the market especially at or around the 1M mark.

Zub seems like he could be the perfect fit. The problem for the Habs is Ottawa has no reason to trade him and will have the upper hand in negotiations.

Ottawa will likely want Poehling... or at the very very least a 2nd round pick.

Here is a AGM I did where Mtl uses the space created by this trade to get Gaudreau.
