I know

I'm with you though on Skjei, no way I want him on his off side against the other top players.

we need a top pairing RHD in the worst way

I have been beating that drum for awhile now

problem is nobody wants to trade anything other than Fast, Lindberg and Klein

Maybe he's more comfortable, maybe not, but you dont know till you try

they played Holden 22 minutes vs Pittsburgh, Girardi 17

I think they already get it

guess I disagree with you two jabronis
- mrn22

I just think its a bad move. I remember the few games they had him there and he looked a bit out of place. Not nearly as good as on his strong side.

Holden is playing a ton of minutes lately.

Zuke or Miller are really the only option. It would suck losing either one, but if they need that top pairing guy, they would be involved in a package.

we should trade Lindberg, Fast, Klein, Ottawa's 2nd rounder in 2017, Fogarty and our 2018 4th for Drew Doughty

Substitute the 2nd for Hrivik and I could get on board with this

He's hurt right now, but just want to throw this name out there -- Tyler Myers. They are stacked on the right side, and maybe you can make Trouba finally happy there with freeing up the minutes on that side a little.

they also have a lot of guys to protect in expansion draft, I could see that

Dustin Byfuglien? His name still dangled out there. Almost always seems to be every season.

I will also say this. I like Shattenkirk. But Shattenkirk is going to get paid. Like, really paid. And, if indeed Shattenkirk get's paid let's say $7.5-8 million a year, I do not think the acquiring team will ultimately end up happy.

He is subpar defensively and he makes a ton of money (I think they just re-signed him last year). I don't think he would be a good target for the Rangers, as I would prefer that the guy the Rangers play with McDonagh on the top pair plays a little defense. He would be a great asset for the power play, however, but his salary is in the mid $7 million range.

money is ridiculous, he signed long term deal with NMC, he ain't going anywhere

I could get on board with Myers, but for who? Right now only foward I feel comfortable trading is Zucc or Stepan

ya i totally agree on shattenkirk. I dont think he will live up to his next contract

and like Pete V has said that would create a pretty big hole at C

its probably gotta be zucc

Agreed

and like Pete V has said that would create a pretty big hole at C

- mrn22

...then you have tough skates to fill if you deal Zucc.

- mrn22

He's only 27 so he's going to get 7 year offers, and you know teams will offer 7 million plus a year. So yeah, going to be tough to live up to that for the duration.

- mames11

I think Zucc getting dealt would tear apart locker room

yup, would be a very tough trade to make

Id rather move a high pick for some help on D

wonder what kinda pick it would take to get Michael Stone out Arizona

for sure

No way you can trade Stepan without a center coming back. Would kill this team
