If you could turn Janmark into Josh Anderson, that would be terrific
Ya except juLy was pretty rough for himJarmo doesn't take L's like that
What do people think of a small shakeup deal with Buffalo:
Rodrigues, C.Miller and mid-round pick 2020
For
Janmark and Oleksiak
So we shake it up after a bad loss, eh? A bit premature.
I agree it seems lateral to a downgrade. Why make minor moves without a specific purpose? How does the trade improve anything specific on this team?
Nill got:
Dillon for Demers (Dillon wasn't happy here, but Demers was also a better puck mover)
He got Cogs for Shore, for "veteran leadership" and checking at the cost of some scoring potential (never realized in ANA anyway)
Hartman for Pitlick to clear cap.
Zuch for playoff scoring, got Lovejoy for playoff depth. Zuch was pretty pricey, and that second 1st rounder was probably never in consideration to resign him.
Oleksiak back after Pit taught him how to play closer to his potential (and for size, depth)
Fedun, Carrick (and even Reese Scarlett) for D depth (given his penchant for depth on D, not sure he would ever trade a decent one)
Methot for size for a second and last pick in draft (a Goalie who got one game in Vegas) Not a bad trade after a lot of folks thought he would give up the 3 OA for him, or even swaps 3 and LV at 6 to acquire him.
Say what you want about Nill's trades - he knows his values better than most here.
It doesn’t cost the Stars’ payroll this way though, correct?This is not true at all. Wish people would stop saying it.
Pitlicks contract could have went to the Minors and had the exact same effect on the cap
No, it doesn't cost them money and it frees up a contract on the reserve list but regardless it wasn't a move to clear cap space. I don't know where people ever got that ideaIt doesn’t cost the Stars’ payroll this way though, correct?

What about picking up a player from Anaheim via trade? They are selling I believe.
wasn't too good for us the first time, also not a lot of UFA options that are worth anything on that team.What about picking up a player from Anaheim via trade? They are selling I believe.

I disagree. I think they need someone that looks to score rather than pass. It seems like all the guys are trying to be creative and pass instead of shoot. I want a selfish player that wants to score.

I don't see a fit with the Ducks . Its either too expensive , too old or too young and/or they won't trade it. Their rentals are all garbage outside of Ryan Miller who we don't need .
MDZ is one they will move for sure for any late round pickswasn't too good for us the first time, also not a lot of UFA options that are worth anything on that team.
MDZ isn't an upgrade to us, and other than Rekell or Silverberg both of whom have term left, and wouldn't be cheap, there's nothing upfront either, that makes sense for them to move / us.
Good defensemen but all have term left
The team needs someone creative who can create . Not a pure scorer who needs players to set him up.
