<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ChiHawk</b></div><div>Whoa there on that Carolina trade. Beaudin was the #27th pick OA last year and had a great year in the juniors. He is turning pro this year. That means, he's easily increased his value this year. Anisimov is worth a 3rd or 4th worst case. No reason to throw in Beaudin. If you want to move Beaudin, get a 1st round pick back for him.</div></div>

Carolina is just a placeholder, and Beaudin is as well. There are just so many moving pieces but I believe that it will take Anisimov and a pretty decent prospect to get back an average prospect and recoup a mid round draft pick. The Blue Jackets offered a third round pick for Anisimov at the trade deadline 2 years ago and his value has dropped considerably since then.

Sujet: Powers says Panarin will listen
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BigE</b></div><div>Nice....I think my only issue here is the way the lines are constructed.....Panarin and Kane love playing with each other, so why not recreate that line and spread out the scoring a bit.
Perlini - Toews - Saad (Perlini and Saad are interchangeable on the 1st and 3rd)
Panarin - Anisimov - Kane - (Maybe someone else steps up to the be the 2nd line C, therefore eliminating Anisimov through a trade for D help)
Debrincat - Strome - Perlini - THis could be one of the best 3rd lines in hockey....makes the Hawks hard to line up against.....very useful in the playoffs...

Thoughts?

This might be the start of something.....</div></div>

I think that Panarin and Kane can drive a line by themselves, and although both of their individual point production goes up when together, I think team scoring and effectiveness goes up with the lines like this. Out of all the combinations when Panarin was in Chicago he never played with Toews without Kane on the line, we know Kane can play with anyone, it would be interesting to see how much Panarin could push Toews and Perlini. Also I think you have to play Debrincat in the top 6 he is simply too good to get third line defensive minutes, he hasn't seen much time with Kane in his career and I think they can play a similar style to what Kane and Panarin did, obviously helping boost Strome at the same time. Defense could go many ways but I think this offers the best depth up front.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>palhal</b></div><div>I'm a Leaf fan and appreciate what Bozak and JVR have done for the Leafs. But no way would I sign Bozak for 4 years, and JVR for the term and $$$$ , I think both will be disappoint in value proposed. And yes, I think some team(s) will offer JVR what you propose.</div></div>

I agree for the most part, but these days it is not necessarily how much a player is actually worth it is more what teams are willing to pay which as we all know on July 1st is crazy... Montreal is desperate for centers, and having a left shot left wing goal scorer in either JVR or Patches it is important to have a good right handed centerman like Bozak, 67 has been frustrated with Montreal's lack of guys that fit the description.

Tavares should see something similar to Stamkos (8.5-9.5) if he stays with NYI, going elsewhere he will get 10.5-11.5... do I think he will sign in Montreal? No. Is it a definite possibility? Yes. Galchenyuk is going to be sold low, he has bounced back a little but he is not going to bring a ton of return, I think Bergevin will take the first above average offer he gets for him, Galchenyuk fits as a nice 3C in Pittsburgh for a fresh start! As for JVR, Bergevin has been said to want a scoring winger back, that is JVR if you want a decently priced proven goal scorer, as well as the fact that you get a little younger. Patches is done in Montreal, and he's about to turn 30... he isn't gonna fetch an insane return either. Montreal doesn't exactly have the luxury or leverage to get anything huge in return, this is a team in disarray, as for the picks those were slightly random idk the picks that would necessarily accompany these trades.

Sujet: If Bowman was perfect
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ajw0066</b></div><div>When Toews signed that contract he was scoring at almost a point a game pace, so how was Bowman supposed to know the he would slow down. If it were up to me I would rather have Toews at 10.5 than not have Toews at all.</div></div>

For me it is more of a negotiation thing... it seems like whoever walks into Bowman's office gets whatever they want... I think Toews and Kane could've easily gotten 9 or 9.5 instead, Panik pretty much said there wasn't negotiation that Bowman's first offer was more than he even expected to negotiate for, Bryan Bickell never even averaged 0.5 points a game and nothing stood out about his game, I don't think one playoff run warrants a 4x4 contract. It seems like Bowman tries to compensate too much, while that is admirable and I'm sure players love it, it is detrimental to the long term success of a franchise that could still be in the conference or Stanley Cup finals each and every year. If Bowman only takes back three of his moves this is a completely different team... 1.) Trade Sharp for someone on an ELC to keep Saad 2.) Handle the Bickell situation better to keep Teuvo and 3.) Don't trade Danault for two rentals that your coach is gonna healthy scratch the whole time. Honorable mention: obviously a little more wiggle room on the awful Seabrook contract gives them an extra middle 6 forward on the roster, or helps sign a decent D-man for a struggling core.
