Damn it took you a while. I think I had 500 posts three days in.Well, hope this gets to Newhook's ears and he takes an in your face kick to it that allows him to reach another gear.
Also, this is my 500th post. Milestone.

We already did that much earlier this yearHabs were no broker so far
Surprised some of these teams aren’t pivoting to Pacioretty. His cap hit is only $2 million and he won’t cost that much to get. He might not be the same player as before, but he’s a solid middle 6 contributor.

It's terrible. I'm saying that Sean Walker alone returned a 1st, and a 3rd + Miramanov was somehow the only price difference between Walker and Hanifin. That's atrocious value for Calgary.
For sure that is definitely part of the price paid, but the disparity with the Hanifin return is brutal regardless.Uh, no, Sean Walker did not return a 1st alone. Sean Walker and eating a $4 million salary this year and next year returned a 1st round pick.
Trading your 2024 2025 and 2026 first round picks at this deadline , in Vegas that is called going
ALL IN
Loser player going to play for a loser organization that has a team full of losers
Id be pretty stoked if we added Holloway & Turcotte, if that was all we had to give up... highly doubt we are getting grade A prospects for midling players, it doesnt work that way.After the big rush, does KH get the value he wants to make another deal or two?

Kovacevic, Allen

Turcotte seems to do quite well in the AHL, i mean his point totals are fairly consistent... goose eggs when he gets the call ups, but LA is in win now mode they dont have time for bringing along rookies like Edmonton with Holloway..I'm not sure in what context Holloway or Turcotte are considered "grade A" prospects at this point in time... But certainly if that's how they were valued, then there'd be more required to acquire them then what I proposed
Fyi
Ylonen, 24, 100 nhl games, 28pts
Turcotte, 23, 25nhl games, 9pts
By no means a definitive comparison, but you may want to revisit your "grade A prospect" criteria
He’s coming back from two devastating injuries in a row. Of course it’s going to take time to get going, especially on a completely new team in the middle of the season. 3 goals, but 15 points total in only 25 games. That’s a 50 point pace over a full season. He has 7 points in his last 8 games. He was a PPG player with Vegas just recently. At a $2 million cap hit before retention, he would be a great depth option for any playoff team looking for more scoring.What?
Max Pacioretty has three goals this season. That's like walking into the best restaurant in the city, and when finding out you have to wait ten minutes for a table you say, "I'm surprised people aren't just going to Arby's. They have also serve food, and it would be much cheaper than here."
Ylonen's AHL productivity outpaces what Turcotte has been able to do there as well.Turcotte seems to do quite well in the AHL, i mean his point totals are fairly consistent... goose eggs when he gets the call ups, but LA is in win now mode they dont have time for bringing along rookies like Edmonton with Holloway..
Similar situation for all our rookies under Toenails MT, ride da pine.
