Hardly. Eakins is a much a dip poop as anyone , but Yak is far from innocent, and more deserving of big minutes. Like I said a million times, it's 50/50, they both need to make changes.
- Jeropotato

Eakins = put Yak in a position to succeed - maybe keep him on his offwing and play him with a big centre/big winger on the other side (Pouliot)

Yakupov = don't carry the puck through the neutral zone. Take puck on the boards, pass to centre for breakout or chip out of zone. Be the high guy in the offensive zone entry

Very True

Eakins= Also give him more PP time, pair him with a decent 2-way Center if he can.
Yak=Also don't hang around the offensive zone blue line like you have a massive turd in your pants.

Legwand gone. Another center off the board. I'll bring it up again.

Lecavalier + Coburn for Perron + Petry

FUUUUUUUUUK NO!

Will see how it goes,btw I don't know where did I read/heard(maybe the Journal/630 ched)that MacT was not interested on Legwand,LD will be playing next season even know MacT is looking to add another C.

Agreed with the PP time, his shot alone changes the dynamics of the PP. The rest of his ice time needs to be earned by playing smart hockey.

Lecavalier is way too rich for our blood. I would take him off our hands for Joensuu straight up but thats it.

Maybe Schultz and Joensuu for Coburn and VL?

Change Vinny for Couturier and we can have a discussion

Nick Schultz already signed with the Flyers.
Not sure we need to give up on J.Schultz just yet. It is kinda the same as giving yak a chance to develop.

Sure. At the end of the day, I don't want fuk all to do with VL, TBH. Good for us for a season or 2, then we will be just like Philly trying to dump his contract...only by then he will have depreciated even more.

Philly is stuck with him, I think.

I liked what Treliving did, where he offered to take on bad contracts in exchange for a top 10-15 pick

So basically

Cam Ward + 7th overall for Cap space

I'm all for trading any player if it replaces said player, and makes the team better than they were. Not sure J. Schultz gets us that player. His value right now is highest with the Oilers. Look what Gagner ended up being worth in a trade....wasn't a whole lot to another team. Gotta sign J.Schultz for at least a 3 year deal and let him grow.....and if he doesn't then dump him, it isn't like he cost the team anything to get in the first place. Thank you Anaheim for being the team no one wants to play for.

We are past that stage thankfully! All we have to do is tinker to get the better supporting role players, just like Purcell, Fayne, BP, etc.

Waiting for Chi/St.Lou/Bo's/Philly to clear space ? Plus who knows what's gonna happen is San Jose and TO....might be smart to hang tight and pick the bones later.

STL and PHI are really the only ones that have a center that would work. I guess Marchand from Boston and put him back to center.

Could you imagine him and Perron? You'd have to get Macintyre to play RW for them.

I don't. Vinny is on his way down and when an agent is given permission to find a trade for his client that usually means he has no value. If it were for a future 7th then maybe.

I could imagine those 2 driving teams bananas and then Yak putting them over the top with a well/ill timed celly!

If the Flyers were willing to take Joensuu and keep 1 million for every year of the contract I would consider it. Problem is...where does VL fit once Draisaitl is ready at 2C? Can Vinny handle the defensive responsibility when his hands eventually turn to complete and total poop?

For now though....

Well that's the concern. Bought out?Dealt to a cap floor team?Salary does drop to 3mil last couple years.

He's not the ideal candidate, but I think you can fit him in this year and next, then the issues comes up.

Illiteracy is not an accent.

So what is up with Legwand. Some sort of cancer?

Guy had 50 points last year and is suppose to be a leader. Yet his hometown doesn't even want him?
