Power and Quinn make VO expendable. Sell high.

With VO as the focal point, our PP has been average for years. The goals are pretty though.

Just admit your wrong 😀😀😀😀

Those are the worst. 4 minutes of total domination, followed by a goal from Philly in their good 20 seconds.

By far Power's worst game of his short year. He was brutal in his own end. That's ok - get the bad stuff out of the way now.

Selling high is a nice thought, but what is considered as selling high?

What is another team giving up in order to meet the sell high condition?

So I could see him here or traded, but these are the tough choices a GM has to make. Adams has made a lot of smart moves so far, to me this comes down to asking price and don’t go over what he feels his value is. Again, always tough to do, but overpaying is a recipe for trouble.

I think that he has showed other GMs that - in both the Eichel trade and the trade deadline this year - that he is calm and not going to make panic trades. I expect him to continue to make smart moves.

RD's been the big target, but Samuelsson + Dahlin, Power + Joker is growing on me and starting to feels like the direction they are leaning. I'd still like to do something there, if I could.

I expect KA to do the bare minimum this off-season, but I also don't expect him to make a long term commitment to VO, so his hand might be forced.

It is going to be a very interesting offseason. Lots for Adams to figure out.

Olo has made strides this season, rounding out his game...better defensively, better passer, better 5v5. His cost will escalate; $5m per...they can absorb that now for sure, but I wouldn't go more than 3, maybe 4 years.

They need another couple of players with jam upfront. Not knuckle daggers like do many like to immeditaly jump to here, but guys other teams hate to play against and who will stick their nose in when the sledding gets rough.

I bet a team would trade a 1st and a B prospect. Maybe more. What a difference a year makes

Mittzy’s been given every opportunity to succeed. Not only has he been on PP1 for too long, it’s like he is being showcased on it. I don’t think he’s shown enough. Would like an upgrade and he is the odd man out. Send him with Bjork and maybe one of their first round picks to take rights of an RFA from someone or nix the first round pick and get whatever you can get for him. They can just waive Bjork right?

Johnny Hockey/Forsberg and Bergeron. Team will dominate.

How EXACTLY can we “sell high” on Olofsson when he’s having a “down” season??

If anything, we’d more likely be “selling low”

Absolutely true. We can kleen up his game in his own zone (or get him a different partner). Can't teach the kids offensive skills.
