Salary Cap: 2016-17 Roster Building XXVIII | Trade Deadline Approaches

[Dipsy Doodle]

Eh, Crosby and Malkin got pretty well shutdown against the Caps last year, Kessel's line saved their bacon. Even with everyone playing in their "correct" place there's no reason to expect that to change to any significant degree barring something like a Duchene acquisition.

There 2 significant reasons, and here they are:

Sheary got injured at the beginning of that series and Malkin was playing with Kunitz.

Neither is a factor this year if we're healthy and everyone's where they should be, as Sheary has since broken out and Guentzel's emerged as a legit offensive threat.

We might need some of those pieces for another trade.

C'mon JR you get Duchene! Say it with me you pancake eating mother ******

I wonder how this changes JR's thinking about what he will and won't give to get him.
