<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>FriendlyGhost</b></div><div>I love that you make this long-winded replies like your God-awful proposals have given you the benefit of the doubt for anybody to actually read them. :tearsofjoy

Trade a 1st for help on RHD?! NAH! Make a bunch of cap dumps so you can sign a guy in his mid 30s to <em>another</em> bad contract!</div></div>

Nah, let's just keep all the God awful contracts we already have like Holl, Copp, Husso no to mention Chiarot and Compher who is on overpaid 3rd liner but at least performs decent enough. Let's re sign Kane and Ghost (more old farts) like SY says he wants and keep meddling around in the dead zone. Not good enough for playoffs and don't suck so bad to get a decent pick. Let's not change anything and keep on doing what we've been doing. Waiting around for youngsters while our guys in their prime are getting older.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>FriendlyGhost</b></div><div>When you throw away a 1st to clear cap just to sign a 4 year $6.75M contract for yet another midget winger who will be 38 when it ends...</div></div>

MIdget winger who scores 40 goals and plays physical game himself? And oh yeah, good in his own end too? That midget? Marchessault?
Besides, who would you prefer? Kane back? No thanks. The whole team quit playing and started relying on him to win games when he showed up. Pass on that. Who else? Guentzel or Reinheart? Would cost upwards of 10mil. Who else is there that's 40 goal scorer and is not a midget?
Also what is this obsession with 2025 1st rounder? What number do you expect it to be? Top 5 or top 10? No. It's gonna be in mid 20's. In other words same crabs shot as 2nd or 3rd rounder. So who cares if you lose it to get a 40 goal scorer NOW? Someone that will push you to playoffs and maybe win a round or 2 this year and next year with some more improvements actually contend for the cup? Is that worth 20 something pick? In my book absolutely yes! All day long.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Lancebmx</b></div><div>No. This guy is obsessed with making the playoffs without ever competing for the Cup unfortunately. Only thinks about the short term.</div></div>

Obsessed with making playoff? You bet! No let's horde those holly draft picks for another 7-8 years. Not like you can use them to improve your team and not lose prime years of you top players. No that would be a no no. Those draft pick are Hollier then Thou. Let's draft more kids who are at least 3+ years away from NHL. Let's wait till Larkin is 30+ and Cat is pushing 30. Then we can consider trying to get to playoffs and when MO and Raymond turn 30 as well we should be ready for playoff. Yeah! That's the plan!

Sarcasm aside tho. What makes you think that if we do what I propose things will stop improving? This latest proposal fixed Goalie, Defense and top 6 to a degree. Now following year when Petry is out you can move Chairot who'd have 1 year left on his contract as well. That's almost 10 mil. Enough money to address either another D-man or an Elite level scorer. Kasper should be centering 2nd line, Mazur and Johannson have a year under their belts plus bring-up Danielson, ASP etc. That SHOULD push the team into a contender category not just making the playoffs.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>FriendlyGhost</b></div><div>Imagine trading your first round pick for a 31 year old goalie and then giving him 5 x $7M at 32 years old...

... All while having Cossa 2-3 years away from potentially taking the starting role.</div></div>

2-3 years away is generous and too soon. I'm thinking more like 4-5 years out before being a Starter in NHL. In 2-3 years I think a back-up at best.
This year a cup of coffee 3-6 games. Next year 15-20 "prove you're ready for NHL" games. Following year a full time back-up. (3 years from now) Following year split duty 55/27 Ullmark, Following year 55/27 Cossa. And year 6 from now A Starter full time with Ullmark as back-up/insurance in last year of his contract. So yeah 5x7 sounds about right plus I doubt he'd sign for less term
Or is it the price you're having issue with? An elite level goalie a Vezina winner last year no less WILL cost a 1st rounder and then some. Besides, I am using next year's pick 20 something OA as I expect the team to make the playoffs.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Shaquille_Oatmeal</b></div><div>I hope he doesn't swoop in either.

Way too risky to trade pick #15 for a goalie when Eiserman &amp; Catton are complete wild cards in this years Draft. I would be so pissed if a talent like that falls to 15 and the pick is traded :tearsofjoy</div></div>

I hope he DOES swoop in and get Ullmark. Your obsession with #15 is curious to say the least. "All that talent" was said about Mantha, Zadina and couple of other as well and the hype was just as big with stats galore to prove it. After top 10 picks the draft is basically a craps shoot so roll the dice on a kid who is 2-3 years away from MHL best case or get a proven Vezina winning goalie to push you into the playoffs NOW...hmm tough choice...

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Bedsy_Burner</b></div><div>Oh so we should just take other teams injury prone garbage because you think he would be one of our better forwards? Cool. It's still a no.</div></div>

That would be YOUR personal opinion and a wrong one at that. Fabri is 15+ goal scorer and 30-40 points per season guy. A great middle 6 forward who is overpaid at 4mil and should be worth 2.5mil However he only has 1 year left and Chicago has tons of cap room. Yes he is somewhat injury prone but then so is everyone who plays this game. As for your lineup full of kids you could certainly use a guy with some experience. You have 4 guys over the age of 25 and the rest is kids barely out of diapers (not including 4 of 25yo RFAs) who need some guidance from an experienced guys.
Bottom line is Fabri easy worth a 4-5th rounder and yes Chicago could and Should use him. You can always flip him back at the deadline or resign him at 2.5-3mil.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SharkTank</b></div><div>Yuck on the Bert and Big Z contracts. 😬

Bert isn't going to age well and I love Big Z's game but I wouldn't give him anything over 5 mil.

I realize teams will jack his price up and he may get 6 mil in Silly Season but that's too much in my opinion.

Rather sign Matt Roy for that.

Your guess is as good and mine what Yzerman will do at goalie? 🤔

I like the Trenin addition and Kalieyev could be worth a gamble.

I think Bergy gets ragdolled in the top 6. 😬</div></div>

Why yuck on Bert? 4 year deal put him at 33yo. That's about the time where his game might slow down and contract is over. Till then he should be good. Remember, his uncle played into late 30's and played reasonably well so 33 is about right I think. As for 5.5m... maybe it's 0.5mil too much but c'mon...too picky at this point.
Big Z I agree. it's silly season so hence 6mil but I think it's not gonna happen as reports are he wants a long 6-7 year deal at 7+ mil. Not sure he's gonna get that and I think he will settle for 6 mil but term I'm not so sure. He'll probably find someone who'd sign him for 6 years. 6x6 I think is what he's gonna end-up with but not here tho so you may as well change his name to Matt Roy at 4year at 6mil
Burgers needs to be with Kasper and ideally on 2nd line with Raymond this way they both get some physical protection. I just don't think "the genius" Lalonde is gonna start the season with Kasper and Burgers on the 2nd line.
Goalie...you're right. No clue on what Yzerman would do but I have a nasty feeling that SY will just stick with Husso the seeve. I think Guss is the best option as SY is not going for Ullmark or Saros. Hollowed are thy draft picks! They are not for trading to improve the team. No way. They are to be used for a crap shoot (draft at mid 1st and lower)
So he's not giving up those picks. Hence we're not getting an elite level goalie. After that Guss is the best option IMO as Gibby has too high cap hit and his numbers suck last couple of seasons. Not sure all can be blamed on crappy defense. I think he is slowing down too. Elvis is out of market. Tristan Jarry sucks the rest is scraping bottom of the barrel and not worth it. Did I miss anyone worth mentioning?

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>colby</b></div><div>thats not how ret% works. If they want to pay them to Ret% then they can but the team doesnt Pay to NOT ret%. thats never how any ret% has ever worked. U pay a team to take on the cap of a player ur moving. Boston also has 20M in cap space, moving ullmark gives them 5m extra but there in no need of the cap to have to pay someone to take it on let alone from a superstar vensa goalie on a cheap 5m cap hit. My point with fabbri was if ur whole plan was just dumping his 4m then just add him into the ullmark deal. they would still be able to go get lindholm which seems to be there main target and resign sway and bring back there few UFAs and then if hes bad they let him walk if not they can get a decent scoring 3rd/4th liner.
Ullmark isnt a cap dump. Hes an elite goalie who has a cheap caphit that boston is looking to move to give the net to sway and get a good package back. there not forced to move him at all and ullmark would much rather it seems stay in boston. I dont think u understand how teams free up cap or what contracts teams pay to move.</div></div>

Thanks, I know how retention works. Point is Calgary retained money on Markstrom trade so to compare to Ulmark deal Boston would have to retain 30% as well. Therefore I will ask for 3rd rounder to wave that retention.
On Fabri... Again Boston does not want any cap hit in return and especially for Fabri so forget adding him. As nice of a deal as it is for Detroit it is NOT be a good deal for Boston so not gonna happen.
Fabri would have to be dumped in a separate deal as I have it or similar.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>colby</b></div><div>boston isnt adding A 3rd in that. Veleno hasnt really jumped up to top 6 like expected, he would comfortably be a 3rd/4th line C or winger for them and the 1st is good but they could get a first from anyteam wanting ullmark.
7m for zadorov is crazy not sure if u signed skjei and zadorov to opposite deals.
why is fabbri worth so little? 15ish goals per year 30ish points per year? feel 4m is a bit of a hit yes but for 3m that would be very solid for plenty of teams 3rd lines. hell at that point eat 1m add him into the boston trade and get that 3rd back as ret% pay.</div></div>

Why shouldn't Boston add a pick for no retention? If they want to save cap space then that costs a draft pick. Maybe not 3rd but 4-5th for sure.
You're probably right on Zadorov. I just went with high end of rage listed 5-7. I'd feel better at 5.5-6 but I counted 7 just in case
Fabri again the lowest acceptable value. If SY can get more the great. Adding him to Boston trade defeats the purpose for them to save cap space for a superstar UFA

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>FriendlyGhost</b></div><div>Yeah bro, totally out of the question for a high end goalie prospect to get significant games in their D+5. :tearsofjoy

Should probably sign Ullmark to 6 x $6M+. Goalies notoriously age well.</div></div>

LOL yeah and they develop quickly. there are plenty of 20yo cup winners right?. And 6x6 for Ullmark the 30yo seems little long. More like 4-5x6 would be about right. No joke. By the time Cossa is ready to be an actual starter we're 3-4 years into Ullmark,s new contract.
Just for laughs, when do YOU expect him to be ready for a SARTER role? Next year? lol
1 other thing I've trying to tell you...Cossa is a good PROSPECT not a GUARANTEE that he will actually work out. We've heard much same hype about Jimmy Howard, Peter Mrazek and few others over the years. None of them were what we expect at NHL level, Just average and below average at best so to bet the farm on that guy and waste prime time of your best players waiting for him to develop is rather foolish. Just buy a goalie, like Detroit had always done (cause they can't seem to develop one) and be done with it. if kid works out then great. Trade away Ullmark but if not (and it is very likely given history) then you have an elite level goalie already.
