You can stop right there.Dubois + Bjorkstrand
You can stop right there.Dubois + Bjorkstrand
A rebuilding team trying to instill a culture isn't going to trade for that.
Realistically Dubois should go for like Newhook + Timmins + Compher or something like thatYou can stop right there.
Don't remember where I mentioned Laine.Well Laine won't be going to Columbus if he's going to the Jets. If Dubois doesn't like Torts he's going to hate Maurice. I think Columbus would be lucky to get Roslovic for Dubois honestly.
Other than that, I'm calling it right now, Dubois gets traded to the Golden Knights.
Well he and the GM owns half the blame. You don’t negotiate hard and also call people out in the media. Who would work well when their boss is micromanaging them and finding any faults and harassing/bullying you? Torta is someone you don’t want to work for... he’s an alpha and his ego is too big for star players. That’s why Foglino is the captain... Torts doesn’t want to have a superstar outshine him.
BoqvistYeah, I’m thinking that it’ll end up being:
Top prospect (someone taken in the first round who is trending the right way), young controlled NHL player who can go (someone who’s already a top 6 F or top 4 D) and under 25, and finally a bevy of picks.
Any offer that has either Strome brother in it without their accompanying superstar winger automatically fails.Boqvist
Strome
2021 2nd
Not really low on Rossi. Just have a healthy respect for how hard it is for a prospect to make an impact in the NHL . Just look at PLD's draft year, and Puljujarvi, who was considered to be the 3rd best prospect, easily. CBJ were mocked for taking PLD before him. EDM thought they scored in getting him at #4. Rossi's recent health problems are also affecting his value.I know your quite low on Rossi but this is way too much
Need a better C than a guy who's older and still can't hack it in the NHL.Denisenko, Borgstrom, 1st
Where's the C?Boldy, Dumba, 3rd
Well, CBJ apparently wants a center back, but oof...painful....I think Boldy is going to be really good. Fair offer, though.Boldy, Dumba, 3rd
Something tells me Joe Sakic won't be looking to trade all that for a marginal upgrade on Kadri after he saw how PLD is handling himself.
Yes, a marginal upgrade. Do people not realize Kadri is a 30 goal center who just came of posting 18 points in 15 games and was in Smythe talks before the Avs were outed?A marginal upgrade on Kadri?
lol cmon
That said, I want no part of PLD on the Rangers now.
No interest in opening up the vault now.
Columbus will trade PLD to the team that offer them the best deal. They won't give two craps about who PLD wants to play for.
PLD will go play for that team and put a smile on his face or he will be out of the league. There is no scenario where some big-market team gets PLD for a steal because that is where he wants to go. He will have to live with where he gets traded to and work towards his UFA deal.
When was the last time a player demanding a trade got dealt and then immediately caused problems and demanded a trade again? It doesn't happen with RFAs who don't have leverage.
Wingers aren't useful unless they're superstars, defensemen aren't useful full stop, and we have plenty of bottom-6 centers.Studnicka or Debrusk + Lauzon or Zboril + Kuraly or Bjork + 2nd
Studnicka played tremendous last night and has gotten better every game. Lauzon solid young dman already playing on top pair with Mcavoy. Kuraly, the hometown boy hard working center that Torts loves.
I'm confused about the part where they went so far I'm crafting the story they his partner actually went to med school. That part doesn't seem drafted to me.
Wingers aren't useful unless they're superstars, defensemen aren't useful full stop, and we have plenty of bottom-6 centers.
a protected 2021 first from a lottery team is maybe more desired than an unprotected 2021 first. imagine if cbj can trade pld for shane wright.I think the situation is killing any chance that a top prospect involved
I think ultimately it’ll be a package like
-Roster player
- solid prospect
-protected first
-2nd/prospect in the same value area
