I thought the collection of forwards looked like a bunch of 10-15 goal scorers, but so far, more like 1-1.5 goal scorers. Someone please explain the decimal point system to them.
Hypothetically if you're Jim Nill and Tyler Seguin has made it known that he doesn't see a future with the Stars, who would your trade targets be?
My list:
PHI: Ivan Provorov - likely not available but they also have Travis Sanheim.
CBJ: Pierre-Luc Dubois - is he enough? Would we want a guy like Gabriel Carlsson added?
CAR: Noah Hanifin? Jake Bean? They've got plenty of defence.
NJ: Pavel Zacha+++? Definitely not ideal
FLA: Henrik Borgstrom? They have Owen Tippett and Adam Mascherin as well.
Arizona has a lot of talented prospects (Strome, Perlini, Dvorak) but I don't really see much of a fit. Same with Winnipeg (mainly Kyle Connor).
Really don't see Segs wanting out. He seems to love the city, he's got Jamie here who they both seem to have a strong relationship. The team is not that far away from being great. We know what we need to fix, they just gotta fix it.
In his second season, he made some drastic changes on defense during the first half of the season. Since then, like you say, he’s been pretty quiet until the deadline.Just feel like stating the obvious so everyone (including myself) can brace for disappointment -
Jim Nill doesn't make reactionary moves, he is overly supportive of the roster he assembles at the beginning of the year and has not show a willingness to trade people during the season. He will more than likely roll with this roster, and hope it gels.
Ritchie to Anaheim for 3th rounder (maybe 2nd).(Ritchie-somebody-Ritchie).
Oleksiak and 7th for 6th.
Hanzal and Tufte for Henrik Borgstrom and 2nd round pick
Spezza to Edmonton for 1st (2nd if they dont make playoffs) and 3rd and Ostap Safin
or Spezza and 3rd for Galchenyuk
Methot to ottawa for 2nd 2020
Ritchie can get traded for a potato and Oleksiak for an egg and I will be happy.
Call up Gury and Honka as replacements and we are a better team. Added bonus we have a potato and an egg to cook with if this happens
Read the context bud
I did read the context and I saw a god awful proposal. Let's trade a Top10-15 forward for a semi-bust (based on where he was picked) player who will never amount to anything close to Seguin.
Klingberg, Hanzal, Oettinger, and a 1st for extended Karlsson? Fire away.
