Sujet: What would a Flames Rebuild Look Like
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Theo_nollaf</b></div><div>Ice time, mostly. If he is as good as many are saying he is, which could very well be true, he would not be averaging well less than 20 minutes of ice time a game and Ottawa would not be trading for guys like Chychrun</div></div>
Oh but ice--time is a very basic argument... NHL teams obviously look at a lot more than this, they all spend a good amount of money on advanced stats.

The reason why Brannstrom doesn't get more ice-time is simply because he is a LHD. Thomas Chabot, Jake Sanderson and now Jakob Chychrun also are... Brannstrom was playing behind Chabot/Sanderson last season. Adding Chychrun is not ideal in the LHD/RHD balance but I think they were assuming Chychrun would play RD (he did in Arizona at times), but it's actually Chabot who has been doing it. They really needed a Top-4 RHD but Chychrun is the guy Dorion went after. Again not ideal and Dorion rarely does good moves so not going to complain on this one

20. Jakob Chychrun, OTT
23. Jake Sanderson, OTT
39. Thomas Chabot, OTT (INJ.)

Ottawa has 3 Top NHL D-men and they are all LHDs so it's going to be very hard for Brannstrom to crack more minutes in Ottawa. In the past he did play several 22+ minutes games (and looked good) when Chabot was injured but this time he got injured first... He will eventually be moved to get another opportunity somewhere else and to make room for Tyler Kleven who is more the type they need to add on their defense (physical and mean)

Sujet: Jackets make a huge deal at the Draft
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JaredOfLondon</b></div><div>texier and nyqvist are not pieces that would be the center of any nylander trade.</div></div>

Toronto is a win now team. The idea is for Toronto to get a player that can replicate a lot of the points that Nylander generated but also to get a younger player that can contribute and make Toronto a deeper team. They create cap space to get better goaltending and they also get some draft picks including a possibly great pick. Realistically, Toronto is going to be hard pressed to find a team willing to take on the cap hit without Toronto having to take back cap. You add in the ask for young talent that produces at or near the same clip of Nylander, and that becomes almost impossible. Nylander has two years left on his contract but there are no guarantees he re-signs. The team acquiring him is not going to give up that much for him. Toronto have to be more realistic about the ask.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Theo_nollaf</b></div><div>I completely understand that but I do believe that Boston was prepared to give up more for Hall, but Kevyn Adams had already given Hall the M-NTC and within the negotiations he took the stance of the person who had no power even though he was the one with Hall on his team and he traded him way before the deadline even happened. Kevyn Adams messed that trade up.</div></div>

Actually I think it was all the soccer guys doing getting Hall here and signed. At the time Krueger had stoke with the Pegulas and Kim Pegula was taking a huge amount of criticism on social media. Krueger is the only reason Hall signed here plus the other 8mil reasons lol. I think Boston was said to have offered him less. But you're right in that Adam's was getting OTJ training and he failed as to what signings he made. Hopefully Karamonos helps in those departments but again time will tell. If Adam's fails in the trades of Eichel and Reinhart he will probably be replaced sooner then later.
If they hire Granato as coach that will be another rookie coach will fail. He didn't do much better then Krueger considering Krueger had a 18 gm losing streak both coached 28 gms Granato .375 Krueger .286 (including that 18 gm losing streak) but he'll come cheap, Sabres don't improve and they draft 1or 2 again...lol
