Trade Deadline Trading Block

On the Block: 2019 BOS 1st, Alex Iafallo, Nicholas Kerdiles, Marco Scandella, Joakim Ryan
Available: Ryan Getzlaf, Nikolai Kovalenko, Brett Pesce, Semyon Varlamov
Willing to Discuss In The Right Deal: Aarne Talvitie, Nick Suzuki, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins

Looking for... (1) playoff-bound forwards and defenders that are under contract past this season, (2) offensive defenders under the age of 30, and (3) draft picks.

Special Notes

Ryan Getzlaf is only willing to waive to a very specific number of teams, must be a top contender.
Nick Suzuki and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins will only be moved if the return includes either a U30 playoff-bound forward that’s under contract past this season or a top blue-chip prospect. I’m not looking to move them but open to ideas.
A number of (depth) players in both the NHL and AHL are available for pick(s).
Ryan, Kerdiles, and Varlamov are players mentioned above who could be moved for pick(s).
At this time, I have no intensions of moving Gaudette, Batherson, or Lundkvist.

PM me here or through discord if you have something in mind. Had a couple deals fall through so I’m just hoping to make some music before the deadline passes.

I have another (probably) contentious topic for us to discuss, but it's something that definitely needs to be ironed out before the trade deadline. A couple of months ago, HankNDank messaged me asking about how goalies are going to be handled come playoff time. When we were changing the goalie rules, I'd only really given it thought in the context of the regular season, not realizing that teams having two starters could be a huge advantage in the playoffs.

Personally, I think the fairest thing is to restrict teams to a maximum of 40 goalie points from wins per round (4 wins). There's still some value in having an extra starting goaltender like this, but at least there won't be a situation where a team gets 80 points from their goaltenders on wins alone.

The other solution I can think of is only allowing teams to dress one goaltender per round, and only being able to swap goaltenders if there's an injury to their starter. I do worry that this will devalue goalies at the trade deadline though, and make it almost useless having a strong goalie duo.

Anyway, definitely want your feedback so we can solve this and get everyone up to speed before the trade deadline passes. Thanks.

All seems fair to me.

Also going to add this:
If we do go with the goalie point restriction solution, teams with two starters are still in a better position as the playoffs go deeper. Lots of teams will lose their starters because they've been knocked out IRL, while teams with two starters at least have two cracks at it in that sense.

I got no issue with the goalie suggestion.

Maybe 45 points? So that whoever has a good backup could get slightly better paid than the one who has only one goalie (and who then wins four games)?

Probably not likely to happen at all, but if it ends up 80 / 40 it feels more fair to me to at least give the 80 team a symbolic win on goalie points.

I can’t speak for others, but for my team, I have already made trades based on the assumption that goalies did have a cap/limit in the playoffs. It felt like something important enough that no rule about it seemed like a green light for goalies in the post season.

Goalie scoring definitely needs to be address again this coming off-season, including the idea of bringing back the starters list 1-2 years from now (to allow teams a reasonable time to ensure their rosters are compliant with such an impactful rule change). In the meantime, I vote against the idea to cap or limit goalies in the off-season. I’ve made moves under the impression that there was no restriction in place. To add a rule like that mid-season is honestly the same as changing the scoring structure after the 1st year... something that was ruled against cause it was too soon.
