Sujet: Not the STL NYR SJ deals you were thinking of

i strongly disagree. this trade is a fantastic deal for st louis that improves the team short-term and makes signing pietrangelo significantly easier in the post-season, as STL nets about 1.5m in cap space from this deal. hutchinson and timashov might not be high value but timashov is strongly cost-controlled and hutchinson has been serviceable when he has access to a high-fundamentals defensive core. meanwhile kapanen is by a wide margin the best player in this trade and adds 20 goals to the team's middle six on a very nice contract. this is an absolute slam dunk from STL's perspective.

Sujet: georgiev
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ethanives</b></div><div>i disagree. Leafs get to bolster their defence and they get a solid backup goalie who has no place in the rangers lineup anymore. Also Kappy and Mango both have almost lost their spots to younger cheaper guys so they can flip them for assets</div></div>

not only does georgiev have a great place in NYR's lineup if they choose to move the aging lundqvist, but you're fundamentally misunderstanding the fact that players still have value even if they are not valued in their current system. NYR having an excess in net doesn't mean their goaltenders are inherently less valuable. georgiev is still a 23 year old cost-controlled fringe starter with significant upside that is not arbitration eligible. there are teams in the league that will value him as their possible goalie of the future and will be willing to part with assets that reflect that. kapanen for georgiev is already far from the best package available for NYR, and that's even before including the pick downgrade.
