<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Billy316</b></div><div>Faksa for Brandon Tanev they dont lose Physicality in the exchange and get a better competitor
DAL has multiple Centers stuffed on Wing due to lack of Wingers
I dont see how a Center for Center exchange helped them or makes them better in any way at all whatsoever.
It'd be like MTL trading Jake Allen for Antti Raanta and paying to do it
I love Jake but he cant provide the consistency Faksa can as a Bottom 6 Bulk Faceoffs Grit Checking Power Center.
He's got his own niche role but for a team as Physical as DAL he makes no sense at all , he'd get hurt in a Practice there.

Evans in SEA however makes a ton of sense as there's lots of opportunity for him to play in that middle 6 role.
Jake's strength like Paul Byron is he can hang in there on any line during injuries for an extended period.
But he's most productive on 3rd line playing a defensive checking role and while he thrives at Center he's better offensively on the Wing as he can open up and use his Speed.

3 way Trade

B.Tanev to DAL
J.Evans to SEA with DAL 3rd round pick
Faksa to MTL with a DAL 5th round pick

MTL looks like it loses but a Bulk Faceoffs 4th liner is exactly what we need.
Fact that he's Czech should mean he and Arber will work closely together
Arber and his Family are very openly passionate about their Czech Heritage so Arber playing with a long tenured Czech Native should be good times.
Really though Evans is just kinda in the way with Dach's return next year Evans would be pushed back down to 4th i feel he's at a point where on a team like SEA he could lock down a 2b type role especially if Tatar re-signs as those 2 played a lot together when Danault took the slapshot to the face.

For DAL i think B.Tanev and his Brother bring Grit without Penalties ever 5 minutes, they play good Defensive Hockey but arent limited to that role and they dont have high Turnover rate and a great recovery rate ration by comparison. Its a lot of areas that would help Tighten up a Stack DAL roster</div></div>

I think you're under-appreciating the stability and consistency Evans brings for his cap hit. Moving him for a 3rd would be a tough decision. If you add Faksa's cap hit, that's an easy no.

Sujet: 2023-2024 NHL Discussion Thread #4: Deadline is Approaching
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NHLfan10506</b></div><div>Someone tackle this bit of game theory...

-- Calgary's pick is currently #9 (per<a href="https://www.tankathon.com/nhl" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">Tankathon</a>) or #11 <a href="https://www.capfriendly.com/draft">CapFriendly</a>
-- If it climbs/stays to #11 or higher, I believe it is sent to Montreal.
-- If Flames sell off at deadline, its probably a good bet to be in top-10 and stay with Calgary.

So what would be the 4D chess move for Kent Hughes to block a Calgary sell-off and get a 11-16 pick as opposed to possible later pick next year?

(probably nothing...but its just-for-fun hypothetical...so give us some wild takes)</div></div>

Montreal can only take Calgary's pick this year if it is between 20 and 32. If it's better, we get into next year with all the permutations.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>tryger</b></div><div>I think from LAs perspective they are the ones spending on a maybe in Allen for next season. The Kings refilled their cupboards, they need a goalie who can win. And Allen is losing that job on a non-playoff team.</div></div>

I'm not even factoring Allen into the equation. His value has all but tanked with his recent performance.
The 1st is the issue. We could afford to move Kovacevic and a lower pick for Turcotte if LA was interested, but 1sts should be reserved for bonafide top of the lineup players at this stage, not hopefuls.
If that can't be managed, draft the BPA and hope for a better player down the road, or at least someone you can flip after some development that hasn't been derailed by injuries and covid interruptions.

Sujet: Not quite a rebuild
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>AdamL188</b></div><div>i asked the MTL subreddit cuz I didn't know his value lol, they told me abt a 3rd round pick</div></div>

Nils Lundkvist is the most recent young RHD for picks trade I can think of and brought a 1st and 4th.
IF Montreal were to trade Barron for pick(s), it should be for a 1st at a minimum.

There are a lot of fans who are not on board with proper rebuild and development, that have no patience for grooming a young player into an effective NHLer over time.
They might be willing to throw away any player not having an immediate impact in order to rush someone else into that spot (Mailloux and Reinbacher) and those will be the same fans who complain when we trade a promising young defenseman for the next Gomez or Drouin, while that defender goes on to realize their potential elsewhere.
