Sujet: (CGY/VAN) - Lindholm for Kuzmenko, Brzustewicz, Jurmo, 2024 1st (VAN), 2024 4th (VAN)
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>AK50</b></div><div>I don't like this trade for us. I just feel that Lindholm is overrated(just pretty inconsistent when looking at his career stats) and does NOT warrant this kind of package, especially as he is a pending UFA who is likely demanding 8 mil +. HB is such a great prospect to have(having a MONSTER season in the OHL), Kuzmenko still has some positive value, the 1st is a big loss to our now thinner prospect pool, not to mention these assets are all going to a divisional rival. Think Alvin kinda screwed up on this one. Feels like a big L to me.
I'd take Horvat over Lindholm any day(unless Lindholm lifts the cup with us this year). When you compare the trades, it just keeps looking better for CGY.</div></div>

Lindholm definitely is the best player in this trade. If he resigns there and plays well, it's a big time win for the Nucks as well.

He might've had a bit of a drop off stats wise but lets remember he was playing with Tkachuk and Gaudreau, they both leave and get turned into Huberdeau and Kadri... but look, he's also a beast in the dot. Straight up, having a much better season than Horvat (55.5 vs. 50 %)

Look at how good Vancouver's line up is, top to bottom. Having a #2 center who just played 1st line for 3+ seasons with a win now team sounds like a recipe for success, and I think he'll have a big rebound. Either way he's going to be a big piece of this cup run. Winning face-offs in the playoffs is YUGE.

If they end up not winning the Cup this year, and not resigning him, then yes, this will look bad.... But you have to think, if GMJR... sorry GMPA... if you think Allvy isn't gonna make a run at signing him, after giving up that much, you got another thing coming. They have to think they have a shot at getting him to resign there, or they wouldn't have given up that much. That's why its a rival tax... he prolly ain't goin anywhere

Sujet: Edmonton Oilers signed Corey Perry (1 Year / $1,100,000 AAV)
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>drizzt</b></div><div>Binnington is dirty... He takes cheap shots and because his a goalie he can get away with it... This year has been a quiet one but there is 5-10 cases every season when he does this or does some other annoying crybaby thing. Also his been rubbish the season after said cup run</div></div>

Ah got ya, yea I don't respect that type of ish. I saw some shenanigans obviously, and at the time wasn't a fan of those either. Since that '19 run, you are right, I've noticed his play drop off big time overall. This year looked like he might be ready to not suck, then uh... yeah. Looks like his old self again.

One of the worst contracts in the league, if we're being honest, but hey, Doug Armstrong let Petro walk so they could sign Krug and Faulk so clearly he knows what he's doing.

Sujet: Edmonton Oilers signed Corey Perry (1 Year / $1,100,000 AAV)
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>IconicHawk</b></div><div>I’d add Gauthier, Trouba and Cousins</div></div>

as a pens fan, in no particular order,

Tom Wilson... well I lied he's the dirtiest scumbag in the league so he's #1

Trouba
Marchand
Evander Kane
Kadri... He was dirty when he was younger I don't know about now... famous clip of Sid calling him a joke, I was watching that game live, he was throwing them high bows

Zegras is just annoying I don't care about him enough to hate him

Binner isn't dirty is he? i respect that Cup run

and legit I believe Pinto was a scapegoat so if you hate on him, gimme the deets of what he did

Gauthier went about that all wrong and I lost all respect for him, even though i clearly don't like the Flyers at all. he's like Zegras, basically irrelevant, but what pretentiousness eh?

So yeah, IDK about 8 legit ones.

But tom wilson... he's the dirtiest guy I've ever seen play BY FAR... and anyone in the Metro who has had to watch him try to hurt people in the playoffs knows this


Lots of people say Perry is dirty, so his reputation proceeds itself

His nickname on hockey reference is The Worm for gahds sakez

Sujet: (ANA/PHI) - Drysdale, 2025 2nd (ANA) for Gauthier
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Andy_Dick</b></div><div>The Ducks are an absolute mess right now simply filled with too many square pegs in round holes. This team doesnt even play competitive hockey and look like they belong in the AHL a lot of nights! Clearly, this team is broken, the injuries excuse doesnt fly, at a certain point players like Gibson/Zegras are injury prone players. The fact that this team has been stuck in mediocrity for so long that many of their fans cant even appreciate a legit star player like McTavish when I hear not one but certainly more than a few Ducks fans say Zegras is their best forward?!? In what world..? Cause it aint the NHL, he seems more and more like a trickshot specialist that is missing that all around game, he's easily game planned most nights and ineffective, he's not even a star in the regular reason, imagine thinking this kid can get it done in the playoffs with a few Michigans. That isn't realistic.

Signing mid 30s guys like Killorn to play that McTavish style hasnt worked out and this deal seems like a desperation trade to shake up the core that probably needs to be blown up. Strome, Vatrano, Silfverberg, Vatrano, hell maybe even Terry whom looked like a legit sniper but isnt consistent enough despite his high skill level. The NHL is all about consistency and this Ducks team has never been able to sustain any sort of success outside the first 10 games or so even when they are PDO'ng to a bunch of late comeback and OT wins.</div></div>

Lots to unpack there bud. I think they'll trade Henrique this TDL this year, he's the only piece I see being actually valuable to another team. Most of the ones you mentioned are under contract past this year, and Silfvy has completely nerfed his value as a rental with an abysmal season up until this point.

Maybe they move Frank next TDL when he's set to be UFA but he's also leading the team in goals this year so I wouldn't be surprised if they brought him back, if he likes it there enough to stay.

Terry they just signed so I don't see them doing that now.. Strome same thing he's a veteran presence, maybe a bit overpaid, but they need centers.

Concerning this trade, on paper the Ducks need D more than a forward who's a ways off from playing, but yea, Killorn was picked up to be the guiding light at the end of the tunnel... looks like it'll take a couple more seasons, at least, before they can hope to be legitimately competitive... Verbeek's got lots of work to do on that back end...

But hey maybe he'll trade Zegras for a young D on another team and it'll all make sense!

Sujet: (ANA/PHI) - Drysdale, 2025 2nd (ANA) for Gauthier
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NorthernLeafsFan05</b></div><div>Because Cutter will be the perfect compliment to their forward group and betters fits the Carlsson timeline. Obviously there's a possibility Cutter doesn't piece it together at the NHL level, but let's be honest, he's going to be great. Drysdales injury scares and the Ducks abundance of quality defense prospects (Mintyukov, Zellweger, LaCombe, Helleson, Luneau, Dioncio) makes it clear why they felt like they could move on from Jamie. Like I said, I think Drysdale will be great in Philly, I absolutely love the fit between those two teams, but the Ducks did very well here.</div></div>

You say did very well but they overpaid for an unproven player. You say "Let's be honest, he's going to be great", and ya know for all intents and purposes yeah, he probably will be good but there's a chance he isn't good. Or can't figure it out. Or becomes Zegras part 2 like what you think he's having a good third year? Like he's just a complete unknown at the next level. You seem to think he's guaranteed to be great but there is no guarantee of that. He is much more of an unknown than Drysdale is.

Drysdale, right this exact second, makes Philly a much better team than a guy who was being...cantankerous....about playing for them. They also got an extra pick, most likely in the 30s, where it's pretty clear you can still find legit NHL players. In fact, most of those Ducks prospects you mentioned were 2nd rd picks.

Minty is good but he's a player now he ain't getting sent down. He was #10 in his draft year. LaCombe might be better later but as of right now he plays a lot and is -20 something so he's more like a prospect getting NHL time. He was a guy picked in the 30s. The rest are not even close to being anything other than potentially NHL caliber D guys. But Luneau and Zellweger were also 2nd rd picks in the 30s.

Drysdale has top 4 potential and is already on a solid deal. I get where you're coming from, the future. This deal in the long run will of course come down to how each players career unfolds.

If Cutter turns out to be a stellar player for the Ducks so be it, but as it stands right now, the Ducks overpaid for an unproven prospect. If anybody cleaned up its Philly to get the extra draft pick most likely somewhere in the 30s.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NorthernLeafsFan05</b></div><div>Wow. The Ducks undoubtedly win this trade, but I really like the fit between Drysdale and Philly. I think he is going to thrive in that environment, just look at Sean Walker's success in Philly.

Back to Anaheim now; all I can say is wow. This is a fantastic acquisition for a young Ducks team that is already stacked at forward. Cutter is the real deal he is going to be a killer in Anaheim. I have to commend the Flyers for getting a legitimately elite talent back for a prospect that wasn't going to sign with them (leave it to Briere to make the best of a bad situation), but Anaheim really cleaned up here</div></div>


I don't see how you think Anaheim cleaned up here Drysdale has top 4 potential and their blue line is bad

Sujet: Tampa Bay Lightning signed Brandon Hagel (8 Years / $6,500,000 AAV)
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Dan_the_Man</b></div><div>Question 1) I'm sure he does see the 1/2 dozen or so signings not named Hagel this off season observation skills leave a bit in question
2)f*** Yes awesome deals .
3) I'll also call your mathematics skills into questions because no there's plenty there.</div></div>

I wouldn't say plenty but there might be enough, depending on what he wants and how much the cap goes up.

As of now, with this extension taking up 5 more next year, there's enough to sign him for about how much he already makes and then to let go of every other cheap depth piece thats currently signed. SInce they're all on cheap deals that expire next year thats gotta be his plan anyway.

But yea if he has a great season and wants to cash in one last time... no room without a trade.

I don't watch enough TB to know about signing all these depth pieces to long term deals for big money but I've seen it come back to haunt a bunch of other teams before. Now of course, these guys have won and he's built a bigger core out so it's a different blue print, but to call them awesome deals this early you must really love the players.

Fair enough.
