Hey guys! That plan for trades above all sounds a bit optimistic to me, but we definitely need to finish bottom 10, or else our 1st rounder goes to MTL from the Monahan trade, which would be useless. I think we need to trade most of those guys listed above, definitely. And why not resign Kirkland to 2 years 1.1 millon? If he gets on the third line, and performs well, it's another asset to trade for youth or picks next year or the year after at the deadline. I'd add Coleman to that list of possible trade candidates this year, along with Miromanov and Hanley for just about anything, although playing those guys more might help us lose more!
It's hard as a fan to cheer against us, and it might seem too negative for some, but to be a true fan and understand that we absolutely need a top 10 pick in this year's draft to have a chance to be competitive in the near future is only logical. GFG!
