Sujet: Realdeal
Huge overpay on Czarnik and Jankowski plus would would still like 1 more top 9 RW that is proven. No way you give a player an 8 year deal after one ok season as he is still an unknown, could be great or disastrous in the future. Imagine if we did that with Bennett? Teammates and fans would have lost their poop. Shore will have to be qualified for more than that to retain him and I would do it even if he is a spare, he played really well as a 4th line centre. I don't think that Washington will go for that with Grubauer either even with the cap dump. They will still want a decent asset coming back as Islanders will be pushing hard with the 11th or 12th overall pick to swing something for him. Stone is not worth that much and Brodie is ok at that price but would rather get a top line scoring RW back in return for him.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>cberg</b></div><div>If you added a 2018 2nd on Washington's side (2nd versus 3rd because they are the 31st pick each round) then you'd have something worth talking about. Since Washington is looking to dump Grubaer because they have Samsonov waiting in the wings, and due to Fox's massive potential I think it would be a coup for Washington, but also beneficial to the Flames. Since the Flames have multiple near-ready D lined up in addition to Fox it could work.</div></div>

I think there are going to be quite a few teams inquiring about Grubauer. Especially NY Islanders. They need to get rid of him yes, but will not be giving him away. I think Stone could be traded for a 2nd as I think he is a top 4 D and not sure why we signed him when we got Hamonic....

Sujet: NEW 5 Trades plus UFA's (only 4 now) - Dream team for next season
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MarKadMar</b></div><div>I would say drop the Kessel trade and the Oreilly trade. I would hate to see Calgary give up that much for a second line centre when they already have Backlund and Jankowski as a great 3rd line centre. The Kessel trade is fine but a) I don't know if CGY is sending enough value, and b) I don't know if it's even necessary. Phil is great but also defense is such a strength for the flames, and Gio is getting older so Brodie is someone I'd want to keep around. If you're signing Neal I don't think another RW is necessary</div></div>

This is just for fun and what I might try and do as the GM. I feel Kessel with Gaudreau and Monahan would be dynamite as they turned Ferland into a 20 goal scorer. I think Kessel would work wonders with those 2. For O'Reilly, he is a proven Selke centre that has an amazing Corsi, puts up points without getting favorable starts and would be stellar to have 3 great proven centers moving forward. Even one of those would push us into a playoff position for next year. Both should push us into a serious contender.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>The_Ultimate_Pielord</b></div><div>Love the aggression. Doesn't exactly build a perennial contender, but it's an awesome win-now lineup. I'm not sure if the Pens would take that deal for Kessel (IMO they shouldn't, but I tend to value Kessel more than most.) Keeps the core together, gets under the cap. Only issues I have are:
1) Giordano should be on PK1, he's one of the best defensive defensemen in the game.
2) You should be going 4F 1D for your PP, it's almost always more effective.
These are minor usage concerns, just to make it a bit more optimal.
The lineup's also going to have some issues next year as contracts start expiring, but oh man is this a great, fun lineup. I approve.</div></div>

Thanks for the input! Yeah I am sick of being a fringe team. Lets go all in for once. For the PP I just don't see Bennett or Frolik as good options going 4F 1D. For the PK1 line its not a huge concern as the forwards are all stars and you still have to kill off all 2 minutes... But yes they will throw their best out first so that probably should change that. For the future, Smith would go and Grubauer would take over as #1 and hopefully do well with Gillis hopefully ready. This will help to pay for Thachuks massive contract. If we need more then we can look at trading Frolik.
