If Baptiste played a full 82 game season on Eichel's line he gives you 40 points. I'll make a bet on it. Ennis was showing some of the promise he had a couple years ago at the end of the year last year and his speed would go well alongside ROR. Like yea can the roster be upgraded further and more trades can be made. But if OEL can be had for Kane, Reinhart/Nylander and 8th pick I do that all day
- Pegullaville

i would prefer my top line guy have 40 point potential on his own.. not because he is playing with Eichel..

I am ok with Ennis being in the top 6... ONCE he shows he is back to his old self. i feel that he has Timmy C disease and will never be the same

Like I said it doesn't have to be Vanek, you can find plug and play guys in FA. #1 D-Man aren't. You have two centres in Eichel and O'Reilly who are a GM's wet dream. Like I said if you want make a bet on Baptiste I'm ready. You can make the terms
- Pegullaville

Trade any of our wingers for all I care

A. None of them are great
B. A #1 D man is 2x as important

I'd rather have foligno-larsson and gionta for a year on the 3rd line
- homiedclown



For a year sure

I think that the 3rd line of today needs to be able to produce some points and the 4th lines today are the more shut down lines.

Baptiste is not going to be on this teams first line so it doesn't matter

After listening to GMJB's comments about wanting his prospects to win first before coming to the NHL I don't think he will even be on the team out of camp.

I think carrier, e-rod and schneider would be just fine for 4th line

They were still traded. Top pair guys get moved, it's just not all the time

This year is the time to take advantage of a few teams

Sure but look at what it takes to get them. We dont have the ammo unless we want to give up a massive package that we cant afford to do.


We dont have a weber to trade for subban

We dont have a 70 point center to trade for a Jones

we dont have a taylor hall to trade

Sure, but we have a former 2nd overall pick who's 21 who a GM might have been in love with when they scouted him.

All depends. Also depends on how they view Risto. Do they think he's a sure fire #1 or more of a 2/3. Don't know yet

If he's a sure fire 1. Then build around him with 3 top 4 guys

it would depend on what GM's think of Reinhart as I believe he is our most valuable (tradable) asset. Do they think he could be a top line center? or do they just view him as a 50 point right winger? He has spend very little time at center in the NHL

I agree with you Indiana. But if Baptiste is on your top line putting up 40 points and Reinhart is your 3rd line RW putting up 30-40 points we are a playoff team

Agreed, and it's probably a long shot.

I'd kick the tires with the blue jackets for Ryan Murray, esp if Antipin prefers the right side


he was playing 3rd pr minutes for blue jackets
