<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Gofnut999</b></div><div>There is a difference in age as well, Debrusk was averaging 25 goals per 82 his first 3 years. At his prime Schmidt was average defensively. He’s a 25 pt d man that is below average defensively, doesn’t hit anyone and nearing the end of his prime years.

After the Arvidsson trade i’d say 2nd and 5th is about his value. Rather hold him a see if he rebuilds his value if they can’t do better. Seattle for Dunn would make sense.</div></div>

Those are fair points. I personally don't think Debrusk holds value to get 2nd+ even if that plus is a 5th but I don't think it's unreasonable take by you or anything. My real issue with Debrusk's value is that giving up value for him is risky considering his QO next year I would agree with you that if they can't get something of decent value back then they're best hanging onto him and seeing if he bounces back and becomes a player worth his QO again (unless they ship him for something around 3rd rounder value because they plan to use his cap on a specific player).

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Reason</b></div><div>Seems to be lots of people that think Schmidt is a cap dump, I don't think anyone that actually watched him plays after the first month of the season sees that as being the case. Last year Schmidt was considered a steal and his cap hit was concerned to be of positive value. Yes his numbers offensive numbers were down this year but he still played well on a very bad team.</div></div>

I can see why people are hesitant about Schmidt but I agree with you that he's a solid top 4dmen and I think most executives see him as such. His contract is a little rich especially with the term so that is a cause for concern.

Debrusk has potential to bounce back a bit as well but there is also a lot of risk there. I see Boston fans greatly overvaluing him on here. Much like Schmidt (although for different reasons) his contract is a concern. He's a 3.65m cap hit this year owed 4.8m in salary and his qualifying offer is around 4.2mil I believe. If he doesn't perform and score close to 20 goals then there is a very real chance that he isn't qualified next year making him a UFA.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>The_Ultimate_Pielord</b></div><div>Oh I love ultra-aggressive armchair GMs. So much fun to pick apart!

1. The Canes probably don't take that Foegele deal. Warren's an excellent play driver and forechecker that hockeyviz estimates as providing 12% more scoring chances than a league average player. MacEwan's not a terrible player, but he's a touch below average driving play and is a lot less established. The Canes really value chance generation and forechecking, I'd be surprised to see Foegele on the move at all.

2.You can totally do better than Larsson at his price point this offseason. His impacts are the standard Niklas Hjalmarsson special, excellent defensively, hurts his own team's offense nearly as much. Hjalmarsson and David Savard are both options for that available at &lt;2 million dollars this offseason, or for more value they could target Mark Pysyk, not quite as much defense as those three but he's an above average driver of offence and won't cost a thing.

3. Nate Schmidt was not good in Vancouver, below average defensively and average offensively. Nikita Zadorov is very bad, he's average defensively and abysmal defensively. A better idea would be to just get a pick for Schmidt (or not qualify Zadorov) and replace Zad with Hjalmarsson/Savard for some extra defence, and, somehow, extra offense too.

4. Schmaltz deal is interesting. I have no idea what the Coyotes' plans are right now, but I doubt they'd want to take Roussel back in that deal.

5. Poor Jake McCabe. I love the add, Jake's a great player on a bargain contract that will make whoever signs him very happy this offseason. But god do I feel bad about a scenario in which somehow leaves Buffalo and STILL finds himself on a pairing with a boat anchor that makes 3 times his salary. Surprised you didn't try to replace Myers, but I guess dumping that deal could be a headache.

6. Devan Dubnyk is extremely bad at this point in his career. Hockeyviz currently estimates that Dubnyk makes an average shot against him 14% more likely to be a goal. He and Martin Jones were so bad in San Jose that Patrick Bacon wrote a whole article about how goaltending is basically random UNLESS you manage to acquire a tandem as awful as Jones and Dubnyk. Sign somebody else. Anybody else.

As far as going all-in on the next couple of years goes, the top-9 is strong as long as Pearson rebounds defensively, but that right side is really iffy and I'm not sold on the goaltending. Sort of like the Leafs a couple years ago, actually. At least they won't have to face the Bruins until the finals?</div></div>

Thanks for the input.

1. I think Foegle will get moved. All the rumours out there are that he wants a bigger role and I think it's almost a foregone conclusion that he won't return to Carolina. I think the price is fair given the scenario. I don't see any teams offering more than this. If someone does offer a 2nd then they take that instead but I don't think it's going to happen. I agree that he's a good player and I think someone will get a good value deal for him.

2. I'm not sold on Larsson either but I don't like the age of the other guys listed and Larsson is very strong defensively and adds some toughness to the back end. Quinn plays best with D partners that don't worry about offense. Larsson is similar to tanev in the good defensive numbers and bad offensive numbers.

3. Zadorov again adds some more toughness and physicality to the back end. I would prefer to dump Schmidt for a pick as well but I don't see it happening. I think Zadorov would be a solid partner for Rathbone albeit an expensive one for the 3rd pair. Nuitavara out of Florida would be another option here.

4. I'm sure Arizona wouldn't love to take Roussell back but I think most teams looking to take on almost 6mil cap hit are going to have to send some sort of cap back. Rooster is cheap in actual dollars owed and will be off the books in a year.

5. I also feel bad for McCabe lol. If it wasn't for the injury I think he would get term around 4mil but unfortunately he will likely have to take a 1yr deal to show he's good to go again. At least in Van he knows he has a chance to get lots of ice time. And you're right I would love to dump Myers but that is just too difficult to predict and I'm not interested in paying to get rid of him.

6. I'm not sold on Dubnyk either but they could really sign any backup in the 800-1mil range. Whoever their goalie coach wants.

I wouldn't mind not signing Larsson or getting Zadorov and just picking up some 1 year contracts to get them through the season and then hopefully the UFA D next season have some good players that make it there. Ideally Hampus Lindholm and Ryan Pulock.
