Proposal: MTL & NAS
- Thread starter Lockin17
- Start date
Sissons > Dvorak
Jankowski = Anderson and you don't pay 50% of Andersons contract for him to play on the forth line. not a big enough upgrade and I don't know if it is.
Matheson wouldn't get 1st PP minutes so his value drops and would Matheson on the 2nd PP really be that much better then Skjei?
Savard makes some sense but he isn't worth what you are offering. Maybe at the deadline and Nashville has struck out on all the other deadline RD.

When I read the word "garbage" in the description of a player in here it has become non useful. If you really believe this get yourself some skates and a stick and go show the player you are sluring how to do things.

Devils fans doing the heavy lifting for Preds' fans in this thread. Maybe friendship is possible in a post Holtz and a 1st world.

Sissons is a perfectly good 3rd line center. If they are going to need a center it's going to be on the 2nd line, and that's if Novak just can't improve on where he was last season. I don't see Trotz moving futures to upgrade the bottom six. They have enough pieces in the pipeline to give some younger guys shots if needed.
No offense, but those exact same arguments were made regarding Monahan at the deadline. He still returned a 1st. The truth of the matter is we as fans can speculate but at the end of the day we have no real idea how players would be deployed on the new team and if their value is decreased or not in the eyes of a gm considering them. That said I'm all for eviscerating Lockedin's proposals at every opportunity
Yes, and Monahan went to a team with a putrid PP and an opening for him (4 forwards get PP1 as well making it easier).
He had also been a PP1 staple for a decade and MTL had a goal differential of 8goals/60 with him on the PP since acquiring him (the next highest are dach at 6.85 and caufield at 6.15). So monahan was actually very much helping MTLs power play.
So find a team with a NEED for Monahans PP QBing. (Hint, it isn't a team with Roman Josi on it).
Maybe a Detroit to replace Ghost (assuming Gustafsson doesn't fill that role)
Maybe a minnesota to improve on Faber (although the wild had the best PP in hockey last year in terms of expected goals, mostly bc of Kaprizov)
Maybe philly to QB their abysmal PP (although I expect that'll be drysdale and I don't see them buying yet)
The problem is Matheson hasn't exactly led a good power play. MTL ranked 29th in expected goal differential and 28th in actual differential on the PP last year, and 29th and 25th respectively in those categories in 22-23.

Easily lmao. He is a liability on anything but the power play and he will never sit above Josi in that regard. Skjei is at worst just as good as him for the 2nd unit and is actually good at 5v5.
Dvorak is an upgrade how exactly? Novak is definitely better.
Savard is a 3rd pair defenseman lol

But also, retaining 50% on someone who's overpaid to begin with isnt the benefit some seem to think it is.

Get off your high horse. We all critique things we don't take part in. I guess you can't say bad things about movie actors, politicians, or chefs or anything else you don't partake in.

1) Flaming: Critique the opinion, not the person. Personal attacks against members are not permitted. Report flaming, do not respond to it. Counter-flaming is also prohibited.
2) Trolling: Do not make posts that could be interpreted as though they were made to cause an argument or provoke others. Making generalizations about other posters is a common form of trolling. Posting questionable content on team boards, particularly those of rivals, is likely to be seen as trolling.

Basically calling someone a troll is trolling and also flaming. If you think someone is doing something as you describe then the best to not post and instead report the post in question or use the "Contact us" button.
Source? A Red ghost with a cute hat.
Making bad proposals is not against the rules unless they are made in a trolling attempt.
Attacking other posters, however, is against the rules.
You have the ability to ignore threads and posters, use it as needed.
Plenty of fanbases have posters who make threads that aren't liked, no need for the persecution complex.

Agree that NAS wouldn't really be interested in these players. But a 2nd rd pick isn't necessarily a "high end" piece.
If it is, that means that Yzerman sent Walman and a high end piece for future considerations.

Regardless of how these proposals might look in a Salary Cap vacuum, the reality is that the Preds are already OVER the Cap. So even 50% retention on any players isn't going to be possible for the Preds. It's just not going to fly.
Even if the team had any interest in those specific players... which they likely don't... you couldn't GIVE those players to the Preds for free, even with retention. Let alone for the proposed futures returns.

I thought, by looking at the partners involved, this could be an interesting thread. I didn't expect the names offered. Nashville has several young pieces that need to be moved and plenty of draft and prospect capital. I don't really understand the premise of these deals especially with the salary cap issues we already have.
