I feel like we're about 18 month away from having more G.D. defensemen than we know what to do with. I'm not trading anything of much value until we've gotten a look at some of these kids we acquired in camp and see what we have. I would trade Zuccarello at the deadline if we're out. I'd pick one of Spooner or Namestnikov and move him at the draft for a pick or picks. What I would really like to see is a situation where a team who wants to grab a guy in this year's draft in the late 20 range trades their first next year for the pick to get him.

Hard time seeing anyone giving up a young RHD with good potential ( I guess you want that) without asking for something that would hurt NYR back....

Just draft Dobson/Bouchard/Boqvist. We can get other picks for our guys. I don't get why people want to trade Zucc for a young top 4 guy. Zucc won't get you that unless it's someone without high upside. Just get picks and fix our winger issue and I'd also look to high upside guys instead of safer picks

If Ottawa miraculously lands Dahlin and keeps Karlsson, I'd look at a Spooner/Ceci swap. Both RFA's. Spooner is from Ottawa (so is Ceci lol) and if we landed Dahlin that would put Ceci in the bottom pairing which is kind of a waste. He can be a very good 2nd pairing guy if you give him a faster PMD on the left side (played way better with Chabot as a partner than he did with Phaneuf).

Ceci is almost a full 2 years younger as well. Maybe some late picks to balance it out if needed.

I really don't care for Ceci.

Namestnikov to Calgary for Rasmus Andersson and Adam Ruzicka
sorry to burst your bubble but no way Calgary does this imo. Namestnikov isn't a top line winger which calgary needs, and he's not a right shot either. I dont think he's a very good player either, his numbers were just ok playing with kuch and stammer. No interest in him, especially for a great prospect like Andersson who will be playing on our third line next year unless he is packaged for a true top line winger

This lefty-righty crap is beyond stupid with defenseman. Just get 6 defenseman who can play. That old, senile fart Brooks is obsessed with that lefty-righty crap. That is because that is all AV preached. The same coach who has no clue how to coach his defenseman or team defense.

I believe we need to draft him with a top 4 D talent in 2018 - hopefully he is from Canada a top 10 pick with 1D potential prospect.

  • Evan Bouchard or
  • Noah Dobson
I doubt that we win the lottery with Rasmus D. :)

They preach it because it makes a huge difference. Put together a team with 6 LHD and you’ve put together a team that can be exploited.
