Asked if he is considering moving Gudrandson since Tryamkins emergence , he replied" No . I want toughness on all three lines. We struggled when Tanev and Edler were out of the line up. I like Tryamkin Gudbrandson and Sbisa for their toughness. Stecher has had a real good year. "

I think Tanev is the likely candidate. His value is probably as high as it will ever be.
JB could hit a homerun on a Tanev deal, or fast track his way to the unemployment line if he screws it up.

That's true. I think we would have seen Pedan get a few games in, but they wanted to get Biega enough games to qualify him for the expansion draft as well. It's been a juggling act all year. Luckily since Biega will qualify, it opens the possibility of trading Sbisa.

I do think they should have taken advantage of Pedan's waiver exempt period by splitting press-box duty between him and Subban over the last month or so, instead of just letting Pedan sit on his hands until the window closed.

I'm still thrilled with the sudden depth, at the most marketable position, that JB has been able to put together. This is probably JB's first real chance to make trades from a position of strength.

I think we could see a trade involving Sbisa but I wouldn't be surprised if we saw Biega moved instead once he hits the mark. There may be a team or two out there who simply need someone on defense with enough games to expose

Colorado, read somewhere right now the only eligable dman they have is Barrie. Never fact checked it though

Also Sbisas been helpful for tryamkin, alot better of mentor then Edler

Last time I did mushrooms I made the mistake of throwing a whole shopping bag full on the kitchen table and telling everyone to help themselves. People did way too much. A couple of hours later a van load of indo gangsters did a lawn job in my front yard and I was out there with a 12 guage

Things got crazier by the hour. Someone invited some strangers into my house and I didn't know... out came the 12g again... cleared the house. Spent the rest of the night alone

Wow dude…I thought I had it rough here stalking my own back yard (with my rifle) looking for the f*cks that broke into my garage…you got me beat by a freakin' mile!

I think a few movies have been made about tourists in Asia like you guys. Except you won't be locked up with Kate Beckinsale and Claire Danes...

Around 92 to 96 things got way out of control for me in Surrey. Not that things were not crazy in East Van and Toronto but I was a teenager then... poop got real in my 20's...lol. Cleaned house on the people I associated with about 98. Left the lower mainland 2000...

You are right. They would have to sign someone checked above for 2018 contract. They have two NMC plus Barrie taking up protected space on D. So if they take an exposed D in trade now they would lose them.

I dont think its the vampire, more like the suit she wears in that movie

It's part of the reality of why trades may or may not happen by TDL. It effects everything hockey wise until expansion draft.

Example. Why a team who needs Tanev but can't protect him won't give uo much to get him. Where a player like Sbisa becomes more affordable on short risk.

She looks good in anything yes, the leather one piece was exceptional

Of course. But what are you saying? Benning shouldn't consider a trade unless the player is not exempt? We were discussing hockey trades. Not trades in preparation of the expansion draft

Great news Beattle! Your boyhood ideal Fanky Corrado is playing for the Leafs today

Forget the suit. She should do all her movies like this.

HE could. But then his net result could be two D down on depth. To address that he'd have to make another move just to recover some value. But it doesn't take away risk of being 2 top 5 D less. Exempt D like Hutton that are playing now have special value.

Sorry, but it's very grim We have 4 forward prospects with a shot. Virt, Boeser, Gaudette and Lockwood. You need a lot more than that!!
- CanuckDon

I think differently. You already have a young lineup Bo Sven Granlund Sutter .

You have a vets like Eriksson Hansen Burrows and the two old guys. That is your top nine.

Next year Burrows is gone and in comes Boeser. The following year you lose the twins and Hansen. but you have 16.7 in cap space to help find replacements.

That is where the one or two trades come in to replace to top 6.

I know in here we see things differently but Benning said today " Our team is now young enough and we like what we have , we will keep our picks now going forward and draft and develop"

Perhaps we trade a waiver exempt D for a waiver exempt forward. You can't think of trades one dimensionally.

My point isn't that we are in terrible shape. My point is our young D core is stronger than our young forward core. Forward is a greater weakness heading into the next couple of drafts
