Here's how Petr Mrazek's next few months play out > Get traded to philly as a rental > Do not receive qualifying offer > Sign in Europe

Yeah, ok bud

It's like Brendan Smith all over again.

I can reiterate this enough

The truth of the matter is the kid f***ed my mom and I've never quite gotten over it But we all know he won't finish the season that way. He'll have some really good games, and he'll have some really bad games. At the end of the day it doesn't really matter, Mrazek is most likely going to be moved in the next 7 days. That much is clear. I'm just trying to explain to you all why that is the case. You're ok with just giving away 3rd round picks, I'm not.

He's not worth the $4 million dollar qualifier. Holland knows this. 30 other teams know this. Which means he will be UFA in July Aren't you supposed to trade players you know will become UFAs when you're not playoff bound?

I usually don't agree with you this time of year. Weird.

I'm Buppy, I hate everyone, I'm so edgy and above this place, I've only come here everyday for the last 10 years to spit on everyone. Yeah, ok.

This is precisely the reason Philly won't take a $4 million dollar flyer on the kid, and no other team will either. Petr Mrazek will be a UFA this July. Sorry, but that's pretty common knowledge around the league at this point. On Tavares, you don't want Holland to try?? Smart, calculated Holland has already decided he's not qualifying him. That's why were witnessing him trying everything to offload him right now. At this point he's just trying to get something for him.

I dunno if I'm ready for someone new yet. I'm still honeymoonin on Blashill.

Everyone complains all season "ThIS tEAm SuCks THis bAd AnD hAS ThE hIGHeST PaYROll LoL?" Then are content to piss away $4 million on a low-end backup goalie who no other team wants to take a flyer on. It's f***ed up Holland will be active in the market this summer, whether it's for Tavares or someone else, so you can bet he wants to stack cap space right now.

Karlsson is gonna pull an Alfredsson. Remember this post so I can gloat about it later.

Nope, I find myself pointing this out all the time around here. Haven't drafted a top4 Dman since Kronwall. Forwards we've done pretty decent at actually. We need to trade staff with Nashville.

I'm gonna lose it... I don't know how much you guys venture out of LGW and talk to other fans, this place can become somewhat of an echo chamber, but around the rest of the league Mrazek is considered a PURE rental because of the $4 million dollar qualifier. This is the one player on the market that all 30 other teams know will enter the UFA market no matter what. Cause he's not getting that $4 mill out of anyone. Sure he could play well for Philly and they could seek to bring him back on the open market. But they will have to negotiate against Buffalo, and Carolina, and Calgary, and etc etc. He's a rental. Philly wants the rental to resolve their injury problem.

Oh you do do you? What are these results you're talking about? Did Hakan submit to you his draft rankings? If so, please share.

I would understand this logic if his qualifier was a standard near $1 million amount that most RFA's get, but it's $4 million freakin dollars... This guy strong-armed Holland at arbitration for the first $4 million and then totally embarrassed Holland and the organization by completely dropping the ball. You really think they're even considering handing him another $4 million? The kid is gone. He's been gone for a while.

So throw the baby out with the bathwater?? This is not Arizona, despite yours and some others knee jerk reactions to the last few seasons, this is still a pretty illustrious franchise. We still have scouts and staff other teams covet, and that includes Ken Holland. And you really wanna flush that all down the toilet cause you're team didn't make the playoffs for two seasons? You're not just reactionary, you're spoiled. If Ken Holland entered the market tomorrow, he would be regarded with the same level of prestige that Lou Lamoriello got a few seasons ago. Teams needing to replace their GMs would be scrambling for him, despite what reputation he's gained on LGW... I said I'm fine with replacing him, but I'm not an advocate of gutting the entire organization... Th Red Wings aren't even a basement team... Which UFAs are you talking about? I'd love to tear apart your list. So you have no clue what the market is on NHL scouts, but your fine with sacking the only NHL scout who has become a well known name in the NHL community? Yeah?

Is that what top 4 puck movers go for these days? First bold, everything outside of the top 10 is a crap shoot Second bold, yup Don't we have to qualify him for $4 million? This kid has to be moved. Holland would be an all star for getting a 3rd rounder out of him. For $4 million?? Yall have gone out of ur damn minds

Lol you're so hard and edgy. How foolish of me to ever think the great Buppy would like me back. Stay real bupster

Holland is actually really good at selling so far in the retool/rebuild era. But he made our fans upset a few times in the recent past so he HAS to go.

Is this the Kypreos rumor? Surprised it's taken so long to get here. I'd trade Zberg

Who would you bring in as GM?

Who do you have in mind to replace him?
