Scandella has been decent though and we are weak on defense. Sure you want him traded as well?

Trying to wrap my head around how the Moulson playing for the Kings AHL affiliate works?

Man I hope so but I think that's a stretch on Scandella and ROR unless we eat ROR salary in the deal

scandella Is very overrated I would trade him before he becomes A true tire fire next year

What makes you think this? He's a solid top4 defender being stretched thin by top pairing minutes and assignments, no?

He reminds me of Josh George’s his first year was pretty solid and then went rivet

You think Scandella would be moved by deadline this year?

I dont hate the idea, but I think being the main part of that trade, we would keep him longer.

ROR could only net you a 1st and 2nd if you eat some of the cap, but you would have to eat that cap for the whole term of the contract, right?

if they win the lottery

dahlin
scandella
mccabe
guhle
antipin

all lefties

I think either mccabe or scandella gets moved by draft day if we are picking first

The Amerks have seen better success this season but when you look at their roster, too many of their players are career AHL players brought in specifically play AHL hockey and make the team competitive. Only Guhle, Ullmark, Nylander, Baptiste and maybe Smith and Bailey are NHL "prospects". Considering how badly Murray managed assets it makes sense

Really? Ouch. I guess so, thought I saw more. Fair enough though, he isn't some spectacular skater by any means, so perhaps the years will catch up in the same way.

they probably have the room to add a veteran...only so many are allowed to dress for a game (I believe five)

So looking at that list, I think you trade McCabe due to the upside of his future bringing you more back, but Housley working with him in the past makes that difficult.

2 things stand out to me regarding rochester

1. CJ Smith is outperforming all our developed prospects


2. Even Eric Cornel shows a pulse given the overhaul

I think it's a coin toss

honestly I don't think either of them get moved til the offseason but from the chatter I hear

nothing will surprise me aside from trading Eichel
