So for the most part we get good players for spare parts
- Slump Buster

Nope.

Stafford holds value around the league I offered Stewart to some other fans and majority said Make it Stafford and you got a deal". You would probably have to add a prospect or a higher pick.

Stewart for Caron and Spooner is nothing special. Its prospects that refills the system (Rochester is nothing great right now)

The third Is what WPG's asking price is.

Skinner is not what he used to be. Buy low (Or try to)

Yep. Someone is going to give them more for him on draft day.
- Cptmjl

I keep hearing this, but WPG is in the middle of a playoff race. It could come back to bite them if they dont add now.

Fun fact.


The Sutter family has 3,112 points in 5,514 gp (6 brothers and 2 sons/nephews).

Fun Fact

The Gretzky family has 4243 points in 1708 go (2 brothers)

Yep. Someone is going to give them more for him on draft day.
- Cptmjl

I'd do Foligno, Armia and a 1st


Something along those lines and maybe add a bit more if needed. If they comeback asking for another significant piece then just move on.

The conversation today reminds of the ones that were had this summer after we signed Moulson and Meszaros.
- Sabresfan-365

We're going to be better conversations?

Happier with Ennis, and we don't need 2 of them.

If the rest could work, that'd be beautiful.
- nfph

depends on who the prospect is. murray wants the team to get bigger, i trust him to not let the team turn back into the lollipop guild. skinner and ennis both provide speed, and offense- things we dont have tons of.

They could do a trade to help their push now but I'd have a hard time thinking they'll sacrifice value to do so. Maybe if they go on a little slide it may put them in a more desperate situation.

Unless Brent Gretzky all of a sudden scored a ton more points and games, your math needs work.

I would start with that offer. Obviously there will be posturing from both sides. You could switch out prospects or add picks if needed.

I'd think they'd be looking for a little more if the objective is getting help now for this season. Even if it was a move for the future I'd expect more in a better NHL roster player.

Better than Keith "I never made it" Gretzky.

13 gp 4 points

Like You said:

Line 1: ??? - McEichel - Moulson
Line 2: Foligno - Reinhart - Ennis
Line 3: Deslauries- Girgensons - ???
Line 4: ??? - McCormick - ???


Where do these players fit:
Armia
Gringo
Gionta
Hodgson
Flynnn
Schaller
Larsson
- ImThatGuy

Deslauriers is on the 4th line
Gionta, Hodgson & Flynn are the three "fill in the blanks" on the top9 to start
Grigorenko likely starts on the 4th & has to earn his minutes
If all goes well & Hodgson finds his offense again, eventually Flynn gets bumped to the 4th line

I would start with that offer. Obviously there will be posturing from both sides. You could switch out prospects or add picks if needed.

Well assuming the Jets use Kane as help for their playoff push like you said what exactly does this trade


Foligno+Larsson+STl/NYI 1st to WPG for Kane


do for them right now? Switching out prospects or picks will do nothing for them this season as you know.

There was also plenty of peace bridge jumping talk

It does give them an extra 1st to use towards another rental.

If you want Grigs on the 4th line you might as well include him in a trade for Kane
