Sujet: What does the future look like
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>palhal</b></div><div>If I'm a Red Wing fan, I sure wouldn't want that future. Seven years of Guentzel starting at age 30, seven years of Nylander starting at age 28. Don't think they would e long term values at all.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CoachCoach</b></div><div>Not the worst I’ve seen but there are some head scratchers here.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JoeROFLCOPTER</b></div><div>Except neither of those top guys hit FA, a contract that sees Guentzel throw 37 is bad, and Nylander probably holds out for cap to rocket.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mmccRed198913</b></div><div>Probably not this. No Nylander no Guentzel.

Walman is going to get every opp to be a top line pair with Seider

Mazur is absent

I have to think they're going taking Moore with the 9th pick but to each their own there.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jfstompers</b></div><div>I mean some of this I can see happening. Nylander or Guentzel probably but not both. Raymond's going to have to have a huge season to get that deal.</div></div>

Ya that's fair it's just very hard to predict free agent signings. The wings need to get some more high end offense for the future so the are some guy's that might work. And I don't really understand the fear in signing Nylander to a big contract at 28. Give him more term to keep the AAV down. Good players cost money and term.

Sujet: Oilers offseason 2023
Some of these offers make me laugh. I'm an oilers fan and would love for them to get Pesce but just walk this one through. Carolina is trying just as hard as Edmonton to win the cup. If somebody offered a third round pick for Ceci at 50% retained would you do it? No not at all because cap space is the most valuable asset. So there is zero chance Pesce will get retained.

Secondly, Tulio is a throw in prospect to sweeten a deal. I like him, but every team in the league has three prospects just like him. Ceci is about a net zero asset due to his cap hit, and the second round pick is going to be very late.

So Carolina gets a C level prospect, their d-core get's worse all for the same cap hit because they are retaining, and they get a late second round pick.

yes for a team making a cup run this makes a lot of sense.

Would be like the Oilers trading Ceci for Travis Hamonic and a late second

Sujet: if cap goes up slightly more
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JK74</b></div><div>I don't think the Hawks are trading draft capital for a player who's underperformed expectations. I like Yamamoto but I think the Hawks would prefer to use that pick to move up in the draft or trade for a younger player with more control. Edmonton is in the same boat Chicago was in when they let Strome go. His cap hit was on the verge of making him a negative asset. That's why he wasn't dealt at last year's deadline.</div></div>

ya that is a very fair point. Yamo is a very weird guy caught between being a decent top 9 player. But makes a bit too much money and there is about 50 other players exactly like Yamo out there in the league.

I think a team would take a chance on him for a third or a fourth round pick, but yes I agree Chicago might be better off keeping their draft pick and sticking with their original plan

Sujet: My guess at what happens
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Samsoc22</b></div><div>Honest question: With as good as Bouchard has been do you really think he will only ask for $4M on his deal? I don’t see every Oilers game obviously and I know he is still young but that just seems super cheap from the outside looking in fan.</div></div>

Honestly yes I think that is all he will get. A great comparable is Dobson for the Islanders, they were both drafted in the same spot and have had similar career trajectories.

Bouch is a very inconsistent player. He has great skills but makes silly plays with the puck that when they aren't working it doesn't look great, when they do work he looks amazing.
He is never going to be a number one d-man (or I can't see it). I think the Oilers have leverage here because he wasn't putting up near as good numbers until he was on the powerplay.

Sujet: Leafs vs Panthers comparison
Upfront: decently comparable I would say. Leafs have a little bit more starpower I would say as although Tkachuk &gt; Marner, I'd say Matthews &gt; Barkov, Tavares &gt; Bennett, Nylander &gt; Reinhart or Verhaege
Florida has a balance attack but the way O'Reilly and Acciari have been playing I'd say the leafs have a balanced attack as well.

Upfront I'd pick Leafs.

Backend: I think Florida's back end is a little bit underrated. They have a very strong right side and a bit of a weaker left side. Ekblad Montour Gudas is a cup winning right side. Their left side isn't great but has a lot of smart players and is steady. But the leafs have improved their backend and if Liljegren or Gustafsson keep playing and getting better the Leafs have a good backend too.

Backend: Wash

In net get's interesting. Bobrovsky played great the last couple of games but didn't start the first couple of games. Samsonov wasn't great game 5 but was unbelievable in game 6. I think i'm giving the advantage to the Leafs but have to respect the fact that Bob could easily steal a game this series if he get's hot.
