The "insider" who reported on the interest in Kaapo is considered by most in the burgh to be a buffoon, so I'd take it with a grain of salt. Haha

PIT & BOS say no. Doubt we'd get a 2nd for taking on Petry. Also imagine SJ is on Petry's no list. BOS isn't going to give up Lysell for that much
WSH & TOR probably say yes? those seem fair. I imagine TOR will just buy Murray out, but time is running out
Hopefully SJ can get a bit more for Karlsson than that but I'd love to see him in SEA

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>wi11dabeast</b></div><div>I’ve seen bruins fans shopping Lysell for cheaper… I thought that taking back a horrible contract in Mike Reilly, as well as a cheap and solid defenseman with Benning, and then a 4th rounder would be adequate.

Lysell is an A tier already developed prospect, a second rounder instead of a 4th might get the deal done, but a first is more realistic

What made you think that?

And no, you’re not getting the fourth for that paltry offer.

It’s disrespectful to post a rumor on any forum and disregard the link. I sent mine, where is yours?

Holy decline from SJ. Add Kyrou and Snuggerud wow.

Forum: Armchair-GM3 juin 2023 à 18 h 34

Sharks aren't retaining 5 million on Karlsson and trading back from 4th. And that isn't even including taking Leddy's contract back.

Forum: Armchair-GM3 juin 2023 à 18 h 29

None of this is realistic for one reason or another.

Forum: Armchair-GM3 juin 2023 à 18 h 28

You are in crack If you think San Jose moves Karlsson with $20 mil retention and move the 4th overall for that crap package

Forum: Armchair-GM3 juin 2023 à 13 h 48

Although you got pushback from fans of other teams, you did a good job at crafting these trades. Most are approaching fair value, which can't be said of a lot of ACGMs.

I wonder if GMMG is plotting a rebuild like this (i.e. tear it all down for max picks) or whether he tries to slowly turn things around. A Karlsson trade and what we do at goaltender will answer that question.

Murray is going on LTIR so no need for a cap dump.

Forum: Armchair-GM2 juin 2023 à 23 h 29

Trading 20 for 42 and 43 is a big drop in value. Draftprospects.com has 20 at 6250 points and 42 and 43 combine for 3950

Forum: Armchair-GM2 juin 2023 à 23 h 47

I don't think it's a horrible deal for PIT, but Granlund's buyout is so manageable ( <900k this yr) I think they would much rather move 14 for a top 6F or top 4D

Forum: Armchair-GM2 juin 2023 à 23 h 35

The closest player Seattle has to a cap dump is Driedger. A change of scenery might be a good way for him to re-establish himself as a viable NHL goalie, as he's a bit of a question mark right now.

If Seattle trades for Karlsson he'd be supplanting Justin Schultz both on the right side of the defense and on the power play, meaning Schultz would also likely be on the move. However since Schultz has positive value Seattle would be able to get assets from a contending team, so he doesn't really fit the idea of a cap dump you're looking for. Ultimately trading for Karlsson is a big risk due to his age, term, and cap hit, even with the retained salary. Whether the Kraken make a move for Karlsson will ultimately depend on whether the offensive boost is worth that risk along with the trade cost.

Krug and/or Leddy, but it seems unlikely Krug would waive for the Bay Area.

Forum: Armchair-GM2 juin 2023 à 23 h 4

I doubt the Blues would trade a 23 1st for Ferraro. Maaaaybe a 24 1st. But they need to offload an LD first anyway.
