They won the cup without either of those players on the team. But sure, the Chiarot trade was genius, giving Reilly Smith away so Vegas would take Marchessault in the expansion draft was a masterstroke and every personnel move made in the past decade was the right one because they ended up eventually winning the cup years down the line. Some brilliant thinking there.

Andersson would've been the perfect target, but the Flames being in a playoff spot means he's probably not going to be available. They can just trade him next year if it comes to that.

This is gonna be tough for the Panthers. Not a ton sellers, not a lot of RHD out there that fits this age group. And yet, they got to do something.

They're going to have to compromise either by going for an older player with term and give up assets to make the cap work, or trade for a dman that doesn't have the puck moving ability they'd hope.

I doubt the former happens, so I'd be looking at the latter. Maybe Connor Murphy from the Hawks? He's been playing on bad teams all his career, but he's decent and can log minutes. Then cross fingers Ekblad stays healthy so at least the top PP unit has a dman - it'll play the lion share of PP's anyway.

Sure could've, but it didn't happen. Getting swept led to us getting rid of a problem player, Zito went all in, those two didn't. But sure, carry on like you know more than we do, or just admit that you're just saying shit to say it and move on. Still won the Cup, Zito's still an elite GM, he learned from his mistake.

Obviously Zito is one of the best GMs. Doesn't mean the best GMs don't make bad trades. Every GM makes bad moves.

Zito wasn’t the GMz your opinion is automatically an L now. I know you need attention but don’t speak to things you don’t know about. The adults are talking.

Sure, but what's your point in arguing with everyone? And he wasn't the one who moved Marchy and Smith, that was Tallon.

My point is that while an expensive mistake, he still learned from it and brought in pieces that led us to our first Cup. He hasn't made a bad trade since and any mistake, if that's we'd call Adam Boqvist signing, has been minimal.

I'm arguing with everyone? You replied to MY post pointing out a bad trade and tried to say, no actually it was a good trade. So you're actually the one arguing.

My point is every GM makes bad trades so the other GMs being afraid of trading with Zito is pathetic if it's true.

Where are they at, because your take that trading multiple 1sts for rentals that walked two months later was good because the Panthers won a cup 2 years later sounds like an argument a 8 year old would make.

Giroux was a necessity for this team to get to the second round and get a taste of playoff success. We all saw what happened after. Do you not think the Leafs would’ve been in a better position if they actually had more success than being chronic losers? The trade itself was fair. Tippett was terrible here and a 1st for a great rental in Giroux. You’re arguing with yourself lmao

Your argument is premised on the false assumption that Karlsson will be a worthwhile investment. He won't be.

The Cats will be willing to pay the price for a middle pair guy with a year or two left on his contract. They won't be willing to pay for a middle pair guy who also needs multiple years of $4m+ retention.

I agree that Bennett is likely to walk. If that happens, the we need money and/or assets to acquire a top 6 winger.

Karlsson @ 10M isn't a worthwhile investment, but 5M is a different story.

The cap is jumping 25M over the next 3 years. The contracts that are going to be thrown at players in the next couple seasons are going to look insane and make Karlsson @ 5M look like a bargain.

Also if there's any kind of cap crunch coming for Florida it's only for next season. After 2025/26 Bob's 10M contract will be off the books. Why would the Panthers be fine acquiring a guy with only a single year left on his deal but not be ok with acquiring someone with a longer term?

Why would we give up all of our young futures for 6 years of half-baked Seth Jones and a backup goalie

If we’re gonna be crazy I’ll go crazier

Presumably if Florida was interested in Jones the Hawks wouldn't be adding Nazar to dump him. That just doesn't make sense. I dunno if Florida is interested in Jones or not, I'm just saying Nazar would not be on the table.
 
Not a RD, but does Sanheim play RD at all? Would be an intriguing option for Florida, and with the rapid cap increase, his contract becomes a lot more palatable.

How much is NJD willing to retain those final three seasons? I'm gonna guess not nearly as much as we'd need.

How much is Florida willing to pay for said retention?

Based on what I've looked at, allocating 13 mill to Luke+Kovacevic retaining 3 mill on hamilton would leave 6 mill for a 3C and backup goalie. That would be the max I personally would retain.
 
Friedman with his click bait shit again reporting something but not really reporting anything that still get hits cause you eat what that muppet says
