If we can't afford Matt Benning, I struggle to see how we can afford James Neal. I don't see us going out and acquiring the big name free agents over the next few seasons. Lucic and Sekera were our big dips. The rest is gonna have to be through development, reclamation projects and plug and play veteran forwards.i don't think we will be able to afford Benning plus we have Jones & Bear as well

Any ideas what we could get for Maroon? A 2nd and a B-prospect?
I expect a trade before Habs game on Saturday, Maroon + Brossoit + 1st for Chad Johnson + Evander Kane + (3rd).. saw a post like this on Twitter, I could almost see Chia hitting the panic button and doing it.
If there's a decent deal on the table for Maroon it might be worth pulling the trigger now. I don't think he's got much of a spot moving forward (mostly due to the Lucic deal and LW position). You cannot have both Maroon and Lucic in your top 6 in today's NHL. Neither has any speed and McDavid needs someone on his wing who can keep up. I'd be fine with using Maroon to address the goalie need as long as you're also getting a PKing forward back.
Sign me up. Would be a huge win.Maybe even a late 1st from a team that lacks his skill set.
Lol Maroon isn't going to score 20 this year, especially if he's not on McDavid's line.
Should've traded him in the offseason at peak value.

No big trades will happen. Once the management comes to the understanding the season is lost, and it is now, I think the team will start picking apart the team moving out the UFAs like Letestu and Maroon for picks. They will free up lots of contract spots next year and will focus on the college UFA once again to stock the cupboard. Maybe an offseason trade of Klefbom or Nurse (as he looks for a homerun contract) for some scoring help as opposed to a UFA. The Drai contract looks horrible at the moment and the fact that we wasted McD final contract year is a joke. Chia has to get gassed or there is no accountability in the system. We need to stop the madness.

You have to trade something of value to get scoring and the reality is that Klefbom has a nice contract a $4M for many years. Unless you get nurse on a long term for the same you have to look at it. Cap matters and Drai got too much for what he is bringing plus you have the Lucic and Russell boat anchor contracts.
