I think he's an upgrade, but not enough to be worth a signed Turris + 1st + prospect they just drafted in the 1st last year + 3rd

As we are fond of saying...time will tell i suppose.

If they make a deep playoff push, it's worth it in the eye's of mgmt.

Not sure what this has to do with what I said lol. Just my opinion that Gudbranson played decent and MDZ was just OK, but as a pairing they struggled in the 3rd.

Also the Pens were playing a back to back and aren't playing great hockey by their standards.

You might want to check the schedule and their stats again with that comment.

Poile is a great GM and they have some great scouting/development
- Nucker101

So true, but if you didn't know who Poile was you'd think there was something a bit 'off' with him. Bit of a strange guy.

Duchene to OTT. Turris to NASH with a 6x6 extension. COL gets Girard, Kamenev, Bowers, Hammond, a 1st (OTT), a 2nd (NASH) and a 3rd (OTT).
- VANTEL

Thats quite a haul for the AV’s.

and a 2nd.
- dbot

Shoot, forgot about that. Still love it for them as a contender.

Colorado got a decent haul, but a lot of mid tier assets instead of a Fabbro/Chabot

I do like Girard a lot though

Damnit


Still, my comments about how they played stands

He wasn't drafted top 5 nor does he plays for the Leafs.

yeah, decent value i guess, although if i was a Avs fan, i'd want that shiny new toy (as in a blue-chipper, can't miss prospect).

TBL was gifted better picks (at least a few 1st overalls).
I think Nsh had a #2 and #4

I was thinking more along the lines of Cups won.

Core?

Baer and Hutton sure, but I ain't complaining about their play so far. Beat my expectations.

But then again, I had the marianas trench of expectations.

Talking my language.

Now that Turris is off the UFA list JT will be the man with no back up plan for the losers on netting him. Pred's who would have been a great fit cap and team wise out of the picture now.

So wonder if Kane's stock will rise as UFA pending...?

Should Canucks pursue JT or Kane...?

Is your sarcasm button broken, some may take you seriously. Although if we were going after either one of those players, Tavares as a top line centre would have to be the choice, we are thin at quality centres who can be top 6.

My very faint hope lies with signing OEL as a UFA.
We need help with D more than anything imo.

plus, you know. He's Swedish, so...

Yes a better choice for us.
JT isnt likely to sign here though ...we do have a solid shot at kane.
Want JB to make offers to both n hope for the best

Swedish defensemen are fine.
There were only 2 options given so I go centre every time, not sure if we should be signing quality UFA just yet, we need more decent prospects in the pool. Maybe for the 2019-20 season. I think that is when OEL is UFA anyways.

Would pair nicely with Dahlin.
