Van Riemsdyk, Laughton, Voracek, Lehtera, Raffl, Weise, Simmonds, MacDonald, Folin, Gudas, a LHD, and all the pending UFA goalies won't have jobs within 2-3 years. Most can be sold at the deadline with retained salary this year and next, but as incredibly deep as this prospect pool is, there seems to be a shortage in RWs. What are your thoughts on trading a LW prospect (you are loaded on that side) and a pending 1-2 year UFA for a RW? A guy like Kapanen immediately comes to mind, but I'm sure there's others around the league. If you guys won the second lottery and got Kakko you'd be more than set for the future - the depth of this team never stops amazing me.</div></div>

Kapanen would be a good idea
:flyers
Simmonds
Gudas
Ratcliffe
:mapleleafs
Kapanen
Connor Brown
Middle pick

That would be great but I don’t know if leafs doing it

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NucksFanForLife</b></div><div>Price isn't really struggling, he's just not 100% himself. I never said that Mete didn't create offense, I want to see him on the scoreboard. 89 straight unlucky games? Yes he's not a dud offensively, or he wouldn't be putting up the oiSH% and GF/60 that he is this year and the points that he put up in the OHL, short AHL term, and WJC. I don't think he's bad, I just think he's going to be an average to slightly above average 2LHD.</div></div>

Price definitely was struggling. He had a below .900 for the first 2 months of the season, only lately has he turned it on, and because of that, we went from being a WC team to a threat in the Atlantic. Yes 89 unlucky games, his ability to not score has become a Meme in Montreal. 2 goals called back, countless points, super unlucky bounces, anything you can name, has happened to him. Watch a single Montreal game and you will understand what I am talking about, there is a reason he is playing beside Weber, because he compliments him very well. He has some of the smoothest skating you will see in the NHL and he is wicked fast. I have no problem agreeing with you that he will only become an above average 2LHD, but to say he won't become a top 4 defensemen is absurd.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NucksFanForLife</b></div><div>Well done for Faksa. We’ll give you Tanev, we’ll give you Pouliot, and we’ll give you Hutton if the deal is really sweet, but Stetcher isn’t going anywhere. The value is good, but he’s the only proven young RHD in our system. He can play top line minutes and has been great defensively this year, and has held down the fort when Tanev was out. I doubt he’ll be moved. A deal for him would have to start with Bowey and go from there. It’s an overpay but Benning won’t move the needle on him unless it is one. You’ll be better off getting Jensen.</div></div>

Thanks, re: Faksa. I think it's win-win, but something tells me some Dallas fans on here are not really keen on trading him anywhere. Couldn't have anything to do with some Pittsburgh fans pretending they'd trade Brassard and a 1st for him, though? Boy would I love to see that happen for Dallas. But mostly for Washington.

I'd be happy with Motte, Virtanen, or Hutton. Had Motte in an earlier comment, but <a href="/users/playercoachreggiedunlop" target="_blank">@playercoachreggiedunlop</a> said Motte was untradable, but Stecher could be had if I added a good prospect. Had Virtanen in an offer the other day, but <a href="/users/sedin33" target="_blank">@sedin33</a> said he doesn't like Burakovsky that much. Talk amongst yourselves?

Tanev is a beast, who could really get Niskanen's and Carlson's minutes down, but his cap hit wouldn't work, and then even if they cleared space for him, he'd skate right off into the sunset as a UFA.

People tell me I overrate Burakovsky when I think the Caps could get some long term assets for him, but he's eighth in his draft class in career goals. He had three in the last week. I think he's decent, and still has potential to be pretty good.

It's not like Pettersson doesn't have any Swedish speaking left wings with playoff experience to mentor him, in Vancouer, just none with as much.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NucksFanForLife</b></div><div>Yeah and if you pick Hughes, you can put Couturier on the market and get a huge haul for him that would include a high end winger. Like an A - A+ winger. Hughes is better than Kakko IMO. I doubt you’ll have this issue, as Philly will more likely pick second than first, and even at third, Podkolzin is a great option. If you guys end up doing really well for the rest of the year, you can still pick a guy like Krebs or Zegras.</div></div>

Personally I hope we don't go on a run because there is zero chance we make the playoffs.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Hockey44</b></div><div>I much rather have Kakko then Hughes. especially in this situation. Hughes is going to be similar to Larkin in points and play. I don't think he will be a franchise center. Top six max</div></div>

Do you think TOR has too many C's? Tavares, Matthews, Kadri down the middle is a pretty deadly 1-2-3. Why wouldn't you want that for the FLyers?

Sujet: Gagner variation
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Eli</b></div><div><a href="/users/sedin33" target="_blank">@sedin33</a> <a href="/users/NucksFanForLife" target="_blank">@NucksFanForLife</a> <a href="/users/ItsBlowTime" target="_blank">@ItsBlowTime</a> what do you guys think of the value, here?

I look at Gagner as a 50/50 gamble to make the Caps. He either fits in at #2C pretty quickly, or they might cut him after a couple weeks, in which case they've traded Burakovsky and a checking wing who leads their forwards in corsi for Goldobin and a little bit of salary cap baggage through next year.

If Gagner works out, as I hope he will, each team ends up making a top six player out of someone who didn't fit on the other team's top six, both teams get better, both teams get a feel good story out of it, and the Canucks have moved out half of Gagner's salary, without the long term cap effects of a buyout.

If this doesn't work for Vancouver, what on Earth would?</div></div>

I think Vancouver would do this deal.

Sujet: Panarinbread man comes back makes Black hawks great again
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NucksFanForLife</b></div><div>I doubt that the Hawks really have much competition with Panarin. LA doesn’t have the cap space, and also because of cap reasons NYR can’t offer him the 10 million that Chicago could. They’ve got a lot more flexibility than either of those teams. Plus, neither can offer playing with Patrick Kane. That in and of itself is reason to sign. And could you imagine if the Hawks got Hughes? Panarin would be a lock in Chicago. Playing with Hughes and Kane is an opportunity that few can offer.</div></div>

I think any team will massage their cap space to get Panarin. NY (Islanders or Rangers), LA (Kings or Ducks), Chicago, and Tampa are all destinations Panarin is looking at. I agree today, Hawks have the best shot with current cap space. Also agree, Panarin would play on a line with Kane again anytime...they had amazing chemistry and that's not always easy to find even for an elite player like Panarin. Panarin alsoloved living in Chicago and has said Chicago is very high on his list. I think Chicago has the best shot at him but it's far from a done deal and wouldn't be surprised is it doesn't happen. I give it a 35% chance of happening.

Kakko, Hughes or even Cozens on a line with Kane and Panarin would be incredible.
