<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>AFOX10900</b></div><div>I feel bad for whoever is gonna sign Barrie, I wouldn't give him a cent over 4 mil...</div></div>

I feel sorry for Barrie. The NHL's loss of revenue due to this pandemic is going to mean he, as well as a lot of other guys due new contracts, are going to get stiffed.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>OldNYIfan</b></div><div>We'd sign Pietrangelo for that figure, but he wouldn't, and we won't sign Barrie unless he decides to do so for at most $5 million.</div></div>

This. Pietrangelo would be the ideal signing. Barrie would be ok at $4.5-5, but I'd worry that he'd get played too far up the line-up at that price. He's a guy I'd want on our 3rd pairing and getting a tonne of PP time, not paired with Lindholm against the oppositions best.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>bsilk18</b></div><div>Fair, I will say, if it was just a 2nd to take on Backes, bruins woulda done it with any team way earlier because they woulda been happy with that, so I think Kase's Injurys didnt help, but yeah maybe like 75% of the first was for Backes and 25% was with Axel for Kase or something</div></div>

The 2nd for Backes (retained) is just my interpretation of how the Kase deal breaks down. I doubt anyone would take on Backes for a 2nd, even with retention. If that were true, like you say, BOS would have made that deal already. IMO, the 1st had to come along with Backes, but BOS clearly didn't feel that moving him was worth a 1st alone. Moreover, they wanted to use that 1st to bolster their roster. Therefore, using the retention system + adding other expendable assets (Axel) to convert dumping Backes into more of a hockey trade made the most sense. I think it's a smart, if somewhat risky (because of Kase's injury history), move by BOS, but, ultimately, a necessary one if they're serious about going all the way this time around.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>palhal</b></div><div>I agree, Liljgren's progression have been fine. Is he NHL ready? Not sure.
To answer your question why Manson is worth so much. You're new to CapFriendly. This obsession with a RHD, virtually RHD traded to Leaf has been going on for years. Apparently the Leafs have to overpay more than any other team to get the magical RHD. And really can anyone believe Manson or the list of so many are going to make that much difference to the Leaf fortunes.
It's a RHD epidemic. Some Leafs fans believe that any RHD is leads to the Cup parade but the Leaf haters, really have the worse trade proposals. 95% make no cap or trade value sense.</div></div>

I don't see TOR accepting that deal either, but that trade isn't really core to the betterment of the team. Getting Drysdale alone immediately improves our RD situation (not immediately, but in time), with or without the addition of Liljegren. Keeping Manson, but having him play fewer, easier minutes would also massively benefit the team.

Lol... thanks, but I think I was way off. I suppose I was right in that us ANA fans valued Kase higher than non-ANA fans. Based on my interpretation of the deal, I think the 1st + Axel = 2 x 2nd. Therefore, we got a 2nd for Kase, a 2nd for taking on Backes (retained). I valued Kase a bit higher at around a late 1st, but I think the deal is fair. I think we did better than a lot of deals suggested by BOS fans and worse than a lot of deals suggested by ANA fans. I suppose it makes sense that the final price for Kase + moving Backes was in the middle of what most fan bases wanted.

Sujet: Barzal offersheet
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CD282</b></div><div>Cherry picking? You mean looking at this year + last? <strong>What you did was cherry picking: valuing a player based on his performance 2-3 years ago rather than looking at his current and recent play. </strong>

Nice try though.</div></div>

Yeah, I didn't do that. I'm assessing Rakell based on his entire career. You're cherry-picking and only looking at his statistics over an arbitrary period that you've decided is "recent" because it fits your narrative.

Zucker got a 1st + a top D prospect + Galchenyuk (a consistent 20 goalscorer and 45 pt player at the NHL level - that is unless you're going to arbitrarily say his "recent play" is that of this season and ignore all of his other years like you're doing with Rakell). Rakell is younger, cheaper, and better than Zucker. Bouchard + 1st really isn't that far a stretch, but I totally understand why EDM wouldn't do that deal. However, he's totally worth a package like that. 30 goal scorers don't grow on trees and Rakell has two 30 goal seasons under his belt, even if you choose to ignore them.

P.S. Don't ask the price of a player and then **** about it. We have a need at RD that Bouchard would fill perfectly. We don't need bottom 6ers, non-bluechip prospects and late round picks for our top players.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Isles777</b></div><div>I hope barzal gets an offersheet. This would be an easy match.</div></div>

I wouldn't say "easy", but ain't no one offering Barzal that much.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Lenny7</b></div><div>Absolutely no on that Comtois trade. Why take on salary by trading away a guy who's still on his ELC, who has solid potential.</div></div>

It's awful. Comtois has been the best looking of all our prospects IMO.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CD282</b></div><div>Edmonton accepts (pending the Lucic-Neal trade conclusion). How much for Rakell?</div></div>

Bouchard + 1st.

Really? I don't think he is. He's a quality player, but doesn't score enough and isn't well-rounded enough for me. Having said that, he's a beast in the playoffs.

Sujet: Take advantage of the biggest asset
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>hero9154</b></div><div>Rangers decline.

1. They will not trade a 2020 first round pick to get out of the Staal contract that is set to expire after next season.
2. They will be able to move Smith after July 1st along with a 4th/5th round pick for a 7th or something along that line.</div></div>

Agreed on your first point. NYR really isn't in desperate need to move Staal's contract. Plenty of cap space and very few players due massive upgrades. However, care to explain why anyone is taking on Brenden Smith's cap hit for a 4th or 5th round pick?

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>AFOX10900</b></div><div>Meh, you were always complaining about needing more grit it seemed... Deslauriers is your guy 😁 IDC, could be any team tho, he just didn't really have a spot on the team lol</div></div>

Deslaurier's isn't getting moved. He's been very good for us and is a character type player we need more of.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>OldNYIfan</b></div><div>I think that the Boston pick is locked into #27 (if they lose in the first or second round), #29 (if they lose in the Conference finals), or ##30-31 (if they get to the Cup finals).

I'd pay up to $2 million for Derek Grant. But then, I'm an extremist.

Take out the second from the Rangers trade and add one of ours: Antoine Morand. Now maybe the NY guys won't whine about value.</div></div>

Assuming BOS stays where they are now (I don't see TB beating them), that is correct.

$2 million on Grant is a little steep for me, but I'd go up to $1.5M. He doesn't do much wrong. The 12-15 goals is just a bonus.

Sujet: Tampa Fans - Cernak
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Salzy</b></div><div>Getting mad at speculation on a website that is built on it :sarcasm

Offer sheets are not a myth, and the Ducks know that first hand.

A team could offer Cernak 4.2x4 and Tampa has a really hard time matching that without making other moves and worrying about Cirelli or Sergachev offer sheets

A second in 2021 is a price the Ducks or any team would easily pay for Cernak imo, his trade value isnt much more than that so Tampa may take the easy way out and take the second

Nobody knows if Cernak, or any other player would sign an offersheet unless you are that player and/or his agent, saying anything different is ridiculous, interviews and quotes could all be smokescreens and again this is a speculative website by nature

The Lightning are facing a massive cap crunch and this offseason will be very tough, it is not a sure thing Tampa can keep all 3 of Cirelli Sergachev and Cernak and you're Naive if you believe its a forgone conclusion. Sure they may keep all 3 but there is a very real possibility they lose at least one of them whether thats to trade or an offersheet, Bergevin making Aho one last offseason may encourage more this offseason, no one knows if an offersheet will be made and/or accepted.

The fun of ACGM is speculation of scenarios and this is an example of this, If cap increases by 3M this season, Tampa has 8.3M in cap room with 15 players under contract. 5-8 players needed to be signed and you are facing the possibility of losing good young players since Cernak, Sergachev, and Cirelli should all easily break 2.5 each</div></div>

Just following up on this. If it meant keeping his contract price down, I would prefer to pay the additional 3rd to acquire Cernak instead of offersheeting him. I don't think he'll get $4.2M per, especially not from TB. That's quite a high price for me.

TB is going to have make some moves. Cirelli, Serg and Cernak all looking at significant raises. $7M in cap space not enough to get it done IMO.

I don't know. I guess, in a vacuum, the value is fine. However, I'd prefer to keep Henrique as a leader and someone with the experience of going deep and knowing what it takes to win. He's been to the SCFs and just seems like a good character guy that you want to have around your youth that is coming through. He's also well worth his contract right now. I couldn't care less about Guhle, but Jones seems to be finding his groove of late. I wouldn't move him right now. He's got fantastic work ethic and backs himself. I wasn't a huge fan of Jones following his draft (injuries, penalties, lack of scoring being a major concern), but he's grown on me since starting for the big club.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Ledge_And_Dairy</b></div><div>this team really needs to draft Drysdale</div></div>

We need an elite forward more IMO. Laf, Byfield or Stuzle would be a great addition.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>DriveFor25</b></div><div>ikr if they draft 3 or beyond they will draft him 100 %.</div></div>

I wouldn't hold your breath. Our D really hasn't been the issue this season, it's scoring. If anything, we only need a PP specialist with a RS. Perhaps Vatanen returns to ANA on a more moderate deal. Could happen given he liked it here and he has had a very poor injury history since leaving. I'd take him at $4M x 5-6 years.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>AFOX10900</b></div><div>I hope they don't reach for Drysdale, I'd rather any of the top 4-5 forwards (Laf Byfield Stutzle and Raymond at least) over him</div></div>

Me too. I am not that high on Drysdale and don't see the top pairing potential that others do. This draft is forward heavy and i think he's getting a bit overhyped as a result. I'd pass on Drysdale, just liked I'd have passed on Broberg.
