For fun I'd say it would be interesting to see if Nylander could reach his full potential. Having both brothers play together could be a lot of fun as well.

In reality though, we're giving up too much here. Jake McCabe is very solid defender on the rise, Bailey is a good 3rd liner and 2nds can still produce high end players. You could end up giving up a top4 D, Top9 winger and two very solid prospects. While I think you're on the right track as far as taking a prospect and adding a pick to get a better quality player...we can't really afford the loss of a single defender right now as mentioned above.

Initial reaction is pretty fair, but I'm a big believer in whoever gets the best player wins the trade. That said I'd rather spend some picks and prospects on a real quality LHD

This probably makes more sense for the team. Still think is an overpayment, but may be overvaluing players in the Blue/Gold. I see a top6 forward, 3rd line center and two solid prospects for a guy who could potentially jump ship pretty quickly. This is better than trading Nylander by far though. He will be special.

We wouldn't be trading Nylander. We'd be getting his brother in my scenario.

Oh no I got that, wasn't comparing that. I heard the rumor over the summer that it was Fowler for #8 (Nylander). That was all. I love the idea of getting his brother. I just don't think McCabe is a piece we can stand to lose.

Yeah as soon as I typed that I had some regret. Still think we need a top pair LHD somehow though

Canadiens acquire defenseman Nikita Nesterov from Tampa, in return for defenseman Jonathan Racine and a 6th round pick in 2017.

I would have taken a flier on Nesterov

He'd never see time over gorges though. If that was even in the realm of possibility Guhle would already be here.

sigh...

i know he's a great leader and all that but unless there's another team headed for a sabres esque tank its likely the only way he ends up off the team is via buyout.

Yeah some sort of conflict going on there. Gonna have to wait an see.

Tampa just needed to clear a roster spot. Nesterov was their 7th D, although thats some kind of stat line from racine lol

Flyers up 1-0 on the Leafs. That game cannot go to OT one way or the other.

Huge game tonight.

Young D are worth more than young skilled wingers, and take longer to develop, McCabe is being horribly undervalued , thats not a fan, thats just reality in todays fast NHL

It's so many days before the end of the season I think.

Edit: 40 days before the last day of the season.

Dream scenario would be to be in a position for the Panthers to give us Jags and like it. Jags and Eichel. Let's see it. Advanced stats guys would have to use a log scale graph to chart them.

I here what you're saying, but I would rather see a fast tempo game where are stars play like stars and we get decent goaltending showing growth, than look like crap and get a lucky win or whatever other teams are doing in the pts race.

My first priority is the growth and development of our team, including our Young Core of Eichel-Reinhart-Risto-McCabe-Gergensons-Foligno and leadership and great play from ROR-Ockposo-Kane-Ennis-Foligno in a system that takes advantage of our team's skill positions, basically Play to your strength.

Priority 1 = Eichel/Reinhart shine
Priority 2 = ROR/Ockposo Lead by Ex
Priority 3 = Goalie Assessment
Priority 4 = Playoffs

Some bad blood between Seguin and Kulikov.
