We got nothing to lose in this deal.
Sure the deal could be cheaper, but for one year it could even be 4.5 for all I care.
If we are out of the playoff's, just flip him for a pick with retention.
I know this is OT but we don’t often get new posters on this board so I just wanna say welcome to hfflames! Also cool to see we have some euro fans.
There's no one left to run him out of town. Do you want to take the helm here?
Thank you! I've been following this board for years now, and slowly trying to post every now and then.I know this is OT but we don’t often get new posters on this board so I just wanna say welcome to hfflames! Also cool to see we have some euro fans.
Id say it’s debatable. It might be a better question to say was it the best use of a 3rd?
Nah man Hf is like crack. What’s the point in the experience if you got no one to share it with .
I do get a kick out of Treliving continuing the trend of burning 3rds/4ths on rental bottom 3 Dmen

we could use the cap somewhere else instead but Treliving is running out of time,
zadorov value is close to Nil when taking contract into account. Chicago was doing cartwheels when they got a pick for him

Nobody right now, all the good players are goneIt's a 1 year deal who are you going to sign with the cap space? I don't like Treliving but this deal is fine
I understood that reference-slash-shade
Fortunately I'm also easily outrun, and quite easily overpowered.It's alright @Dube Dube Doo 's got us covered.
Hit this new guy about the integrity of our board to start.

For sure, he is better than any UFA availableWell yeah, we could, *cough* Eichel *cough*, but right now, I'd rather pay Zadorov 1x4m than any other UFA on thr market.
EDIT: wording

I am just saying you can use the cap space to upgrade somewhere else. I.e trade for a better but more expensive player.
I don’t know but the privilege of spending a 3rd so you can spend 3.75 M for a bottom pairing dman is not attractive to meWho would you go after unfortunately most higher priced players are going to cost more than a 3rd, most will eat up the cap next year and I'd rather hold onto as many of our higher picks that we can.

if nothing else is possible then I guess it’s ok but does not excite me at all. Even long term, if he sucks this year, it’s a bad deal. If he plays well, we have to pay 4M+ to keep him. I see no upside to this.
He is very inconsistent I'm not convinced he will be worth a long term deal but looking at this years roster we don't have much physicallity on the backend and I don't think we would have found a better option in free agency willing to take a 1 year deal. Personally I think trading 3rd or 4th for nhl players is a great move, the average 3rd rounder won't play 82 games in the nhl so I see it as smart asset management. If the dude breaks out I'd gladly give him 4+ million but I see it as a 3rd for D man that can give you 15 - 18 minutes a night and add some physicallity and the plus side is there is no long term commitment. I think your over valuing a 3rd round pick we got a 3rd for like 5 games of Rittich. We get his 3.75 in cap space next year to try and find a long term solution.
I'd love to get Eichel but this isn't going to stop a move like that imo
