Didn’t their GM say he’s looking to move picks for young nhl players?

Is there a Celebrities Nightclub in OTT?

Jake's on his way out, deal with it.
- VanHockeyGuy

If the deal is right, the only two players on the entire team that I wouldn’t trade are Pettersson and Hughes.

Pretty much.

What’s the headache? Jake’s performance or the need for more cap room?
- bloatedmosquito

Pick whatever you want. I don't care



Nothing has officially happened and people are already complaining, and no matter what ever they do people will complain so avoid the rush , complain what ever you want to complain about .

They're not gonna win anything without your positive attitude either....so keep it up!

They would for sure be cup champs with 20 players making $975,000 each...

Think of all that cap space wow...

After the playoffs he had, I would add Bo to that as well.

We waited for a bit, but Bo's leadership and results on the PO scoresheet has easily put him into elite status. Untouchable.

Sure, then it's Bo QH & EP. All others available.

If that’s the logic being used then the two of you are saying a car purchased for $400,000 five years ago is now worth $20.

It’s not a good trade proposal and a GM with any amount of respectability would never never pull the trigger on it.
- bloatedmosquito

Are you saying Jake is a $400k car? His draft slot was, but him as player is definitely not. And where he is now and the projection for a second round pick is pretty similar.

Plus, how does a 2nd round pick turn into a lotto ticket?
- bloatedmosquito

A metaphor – as in you pick them and sometimes you win but mainly you lose. Not a lottery draft pick.

Virtanen is worth a late first or early second on his own, throwing him in as a sweetener is gross mismanagement, hopefully that doesn’t happen!
- Pacificgem

So if Virt is worth a second, and we trade him and Loui for a second, that's somehow a bad trade?

I think Lefty was agreeing . He said late first early second. Ottawa's pick is an early second

I am going with White Lies prediction Jake Loui to Ott for a second.

Today is exit interviews so probably tomorrow contracts?
- VANTEL

If they got a second, I would be thrilled. I would also be happy with a 7th

Sure, then it's Bo QH & EP. All others available.
- VanHockeyGuy

Well you can add Boeser and Miller to that list for now. Outside of those 5 guys I'm sure JB is working those phones!!

Also, with your car/draft logic, Luke Schenn (5OA) and Zach Bogosian (3OA) should be worth WAY more than the combined 2 mill they are playing on one year deals with Tampa.

After the playoffs he had, I would add Bo to that as well.
- Retinalz

He had two assists in 17 playoff games as a second line center, not good enough. I understand he took important faceoffs but that hardly makes him irreplaceable.

He also had 10 goals, and lead the league in Playoff goals. I'd rather a guy with 10 goals and 2 assists than a guy with 2 goals and 15 assists, 8 of them being secondary. Bo was a beast for us and still improving.

You get the feeling something(s) brewing.

Some names out of Pitts being shopped Letang Bjudstadt McCann and Johnston.

Most teams trying to dump salary

Pearson for McCann

In car analogies, Virtanen is the midlife crisis convertible you drive only in the summer and carries a lot of ongoing expenses for limited use. Sure you paid a hefty price to acquire him, but even if you sell low in order to get rid of your equally expensive RV, your operating savings can go towards the truck, boat, and trailer that you'd get more enjoyment and use out of.

Costs are sunk, try to get as close to current market value for the sum of your assets, and utilize the available cap to make smart improvements

Not my car logic, that’s Vantel’s logic.

JV for a 2nd round pick is a bad trade IMO. You got to get back some value out of a 6th overall, at 24 years of age, with 279 games played already.

He still has loads of potential. 2nd round pick is selling cheap. JB has to start finding deals instead of paying top dollar every time. Is it too much to ask that he “wins” a few trades once in a while?
