No denying that we WIN most of our trades, I am main complaining about drafting. We draft like Shat, other then the no brainers.

Agreed... Kovalpuke is basically a higher paid Pominville

Funny you wrote that, in my post above about moves I want JBotts to make, My own critiquexwas that the team would be relatively soft...they do need to get a forward or two who likes the rough game and can hold his own...you know, like an EK9er
- IonSabres

we need a few bangers on the top 9, for sure

last night was an eye opener on how important it is

I think there is enough grit on the back end with bogo, risto and mccabe but man that front 9 got pushed all over the ice

nylander, guhle, a first and the dirty pod racer is what I heard for the 2
- homiedclown

Sounds like a lot for an 8 goal scorer and a 5 goal scorer... is either going to move the needle here?

January: Dahlin 8; Sheary, Rodrigues, Reinhart 7

Well that's good to see. Now, like you said, just get it together with the Eichel and Skinner

Secondary scoring coming along. I expect a push here

if you don't like what toffoli and kempe bring, you would hate it


honestly I don't think we would be giving enough to get them, and they are up against the wall on contracts

might have legs, heard kempe's name as well as toffoli

might be something big brewing

Nice.

Thanks for the info, fish man

I'm confident that Botts didn't insist on Bergy and Sobotka in that deal. Some things you just have to deal with while in transition.

And Skinner is a 'win'.
- Powerslave

Right, that was taking on some baggage to move a bad GMTM contract. The core and longer term commitments are still more TM than JB.

Doesn't really matter if you see it more JB or TM, it's still clearly in transition.

BUT MIKA NORONEN!

So with it being
Nylander
Guhle
Sabotka
2019 1st (Assuming SJS)

for

Kempe
Toffoli

I am not sure I do that because I think losing Guhle means we keep the current D we have for the year (maybe trade 1).

But on the other hand, if he can add one more cap dump or get a 2nd back, I would consider this deal. Kempe is up for a new deal (can't be more than $3m per) and then Toffoli has one more at $4.6m, wonder what he thinks he would get when that is up? I don't watch enough of them.

Contracts are getting out of hand with this team. Not any room unless some are going out . Skinner is a big one coming up. Would suck is he was involved in that deal. But we have to make room. I guess.

Now Kempe is a guy you move a first round pick for.

He was on track last year, as a 21 year old.

This year, that entire team is a train wreck.

So 21 goals in a year, and 5 goals this year you give up a 1st for? Yikes... And this is coming from a guy who wants to move the picks...

Kempe is basically what we hoped Girgensons would be when we drafted him

well we NEED lot of things, first being some people that can actually score.... Kempe there is hope being he is only 22, but Toffoli is 26 and a meh players in my opinion. I don't think I would do this deal (as constructed) keep Guhle, or remove the first, or they take opokso as well.
