Yep. And not a lot at that.

My point is, I just listened to Elloitte Friedman on the Instigators and he mentioned the possiblity of both McJesus and Jack asking for a trade because of the poor teams they play for. I'm just looking for recent precedent to back his beliefs

Good choices. Now, were any of them in the midst of a long-term deal where they were 4-5 years away from UFA status?

i think its spelled Ottawa...

I think it’s spelled Robitaille...

Rick Nash possibly ?
- Pegullaville

Was he near the end of his deal when they traded him?

no, but none were in BUF and none played for the feudal lordship of the Pegula clan.

Eichel stays by the way. Leaves when hes a UFA if they arent winning by then (which they should be).

If they didnt hire Holland and Tippet, i think McD does ask to be traded. He was starting to get unhappy. Jack on the other hand, i think he's closer to asking for a trade. I think it all depends on what happens this offseason and next season.

I think he’s really close to requesting one. He has to be

I don't see Adams cutting his own throat by trading Eichel.

That's a bigger career suicide than trading O'Reilly.
- Powerslave

The suicide wasn't trading ROR it was not replacing him.

Rick Nash?

Evander Kane isn't on that level, but he was a star who kept asking for a trade, though the circumstances were different there too, because he felt like he didn't fit in.

Edit: Late on Nash.

Pegulaville is probably right that Mittelstadt was JB downfall

Not sure about McD. Jack prob closer to asking for one.

I think Jack gives the. This offseason and upcoming season a chance. If things dont change for the better, i do see him asking for a trade unfortunately

I don't know if hanging a potential miss of an 8th overall on him is what did it. Look at the guys drafted right around him in Lias Andersson and Michael Rasmussen. They don't exactly inspire a lot of confidence either. And Mittelstadt has almost the same amount of GP as both of them combined. I know Rasmussen missed a big portion of the year, but still. You have to go all the way to 20(Robert Thomas) to find a guy currently doing well in the league.

A demand for a trade doesn't mean the player must or will be traded.

it depends on how kym and teri want to handle it


every gm we have had has been a puppet for them


if they want a simmonds and a frolik the gm gets it

if they want ror and kane gone, the gm does it

if they want an okposo, the gm tries to get it

if they want a new goalie, the gm goes and gets it

That’s who im referring to. Eichel is close

or he has already asked for a trade

Mittelstadt and Cozens were his attempts at replacing him.

I think it’s too early to slap the bust label on Mitts, I think he still has top 6 talent I just believe it’s as a winger not as a Center. He struggles in the defensive zone and a lot of it is due to average speed.

Mitts is probably my biggest whiff ever. I really thought we had our 2C and I allowed his WJC and other various international tournaments to cloud my judgement over the various red flags that were popping up across the duration of his USHL/College career that are plaguing him now.

Should Botts have acquired a stop gap and not rushed Casey ? Absolutely.
