Sujet: Sens and Avs fans, would you do it?
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>rtapp326</b></div><div>I like that a lot. To play devils advocate though, here's a couple potential snags that I see:
1. Is Ottawa willing to commit to a rebuild? The return they're getting is all futures. Bracco and Liljegren could be in the NHL soon, but they don't have any NHL experience. Will Dorion bite the bullet and scrap this version of the sens or is he going to be focused on saving his own job and keeping the team competitive.
2. As a young team that's still building and adding young assets, the Avs may be a little reluctant to move two top-50 picks in addition to Tyson Barrie. I think the value of it is fine, but immediately Sakic loses his surplus of draft picks over the next two years.
3. IMO, I don't think Barrie is the defenseman Toronto needs. I think they like him, and they would be happy to add him to their team, but if I were the GM there, I'm making a big push for John Carlson, or I'm going after a guy like Chris Tanev who can provide solid defensive play and stability, and may not cost me quite as much to trade for him.</div></div>

I agree, Barrie is a great defenseman, but Toronto is making a push to sign Carlson. If they aren't able to get him, I can really see this trade happening. Toronto is a contender, and get a solid defenseman on the blue line. A pairing of Morgan Rielly and Tyson Barrie/John Carlson sounds deadly. Something that I, as a Tampa Bay fan would not like to see. I don't think Karlsson gets traded to Colorado based on their current situation, don't forget Karlsson has a NTC. I love this trade for Ottawa. Being in a rebuild state and getting an A level prospect, especially a RHD in Liljegren. I don't know much about Bracco, but 32 points in 50 games in the AHL sounds like a bang or bust, especially where he's 21. The 2 1st's could also be huge busts, or the next Wayne Gretzky. I'd love to see this happen. I like Tanev, but he's too injury prone. Plus I believe that Barrie will be more of an impact player than Tanev on the top pairing in Toronto.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>PuckPal</b></div><div>Tampa had the refs on their side cause they were probably fed up with the NHL HQ not ending the bruins antics so they decided for tge good of the game to end their season.</div></div>

The series was called equally. I don't get all this "Tampa had the refs" crap. Both teams had dirty hits and plays, but in the end, if Boston wants to win the series next time, they have to deal with it and play how the refs are calling the games. Also the Miller hit on Backes was clean. Like it was said above, the initial point of contact is the shoulder, then the heads collided with eachother, nothing wrong with it. The hit on Krejci was the same, the shoulder was the initial point of contact. I don't get how Paquette is a dirtbag, he had some hits that may have gotten called, but there was no play from Paquette that I saw, that gives him the dirtbag title.

Sujet: On to the future
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jfstompers</b></div><div>Idk really. Kerfoot for Carlo won't happen. Carlo didn't exactly progress in year 2 as much as he should. He's young but has no offensive ability and Kerfoot is going to be a stud. Add a pick maybe Colorado would think of it. Honestly right now with injury and slowing of production and a 7 million dollar contract krejci looks more of a cap dump than a productive piece. Yeah I like heinen but not enough to get hanifin from them. Boston has a ton of great pieces I just don't know how they exactly fit together.</div></div>

I think Colorado would make this deal, they really want a young defenseman, and Carlo fits the bill. Kerfoot is going to be a star, but Colorado needs Carlo more than Kerfoot right now.

Sujet: Trading the #1
Dahlin isn't getting traded. He is what Buffalo needs right now.

Ottawa trade - Nylander is a top notch prospect that Buffalo needs to keep. Karlsson isn't looking to be a part of a rebuild, he wants to win, and he wants to win now.

Anaheim trade - Rakell is Anaheim's near future replacement for Getzlaf.

Boston trade - Your nuts if you think you can get all of that for Dahlin.

Carolina trade - Hanifin is the future of Carolina. They don't need Dahlin.

Dallas trade - Heiskanen isn't getting moved, Dallas picked him, and they are going to stick with him.

Florida trade - What are you thinking? Borgstrom is not getting traded.

Nashville trade - Saros is the future starter in Nashville, Nashville doesn't need Dahlin.

Islanders trade - I'm not sold on Dal Colle, he's already 21 and hasn't recorded his first point.

Tampa Bay trade - WHAT? POINT, SERGACHEV AND CIRELLI?

Toronto trade - Marner getting moved within the division? No thanks.

Vancouver trade - Demko is the future starter for Vancouver, not getting moved.

Overall, you are REALLY over valuing the 1st overall pick.

Sujet: Trading all the way down.
I can't see Buffalo trading away Dahlin. Dahlin is exactly what Buffalo has been looking for for years, an outstanding offensive force on the blueline. O'Reilly I can see being traded, but most likely not at the draft. Buffalo will hold on to him for as long as they can, and find a good deal that they are comfortable in doing at the deadline. I'm not sold on Mete, he hasn't shown much as of right now, but Lehkonen isn't needed, Buffalo has a pretty solid top 9, and Lehkonen would add to the log jam. The same goes for Dal Colle, he has no points in 4 career NHL games. If he were to make the team, I could see him having a 4th line job at first and moving up if he proves himself. I also can't see Buffalo signing Brock Nelson as Buffalo has a log jam up front. Lehner is the goalie Buffalo needs to be a temporary band-aid until Luukonen develops into an NHL level starter. As for the Detroit trade, I can't see Svechnikov being picked after Zadina. Svechnikov is able to make an immediate impact for whoever picks him, but Zadina might need a year to develop into a full time NHLer.
