PLD is something they don’t have in the system, and will need to get into on the roster in the next 2 years or so if they are going to have any kind of future as a legit contender. He’s asked out, find the price and pay it unless it’s Pasta or McAvoy (or Bergeron for strictly sentimental reasons). I just don’t see where else a legit young #1 center is going to come from, let alone one that would fit the fan base, team character, and coaching expectations as well as his game does
The potential problem is if Jarmo wants him in the West, with only one date in Columbus per (normal) season.I agree. That's a move that's worth disrupting their plans for, worth disrupting their season for. A new #1 center the same age as McAvoy? That fits their model of trying to build towards big, physical two-way centers? Yes please. Whatever it takes.

The chances of Josh Anderson becoming a #1 franchise center are somewhat slim.That doesn't seem to be something Jarmo worries about. He traded Josh Anderson to Montreal.
He looked fantastic tonight. He is a beast.The chances of Josh Anderson becoming a #1 franchise center are somewhat slim.
We'll see, though. Just something to consider when talking about "whatever it takes".

I think of them both as potential impact players.
I wouldn’t base my opinion of Vladar on one game where he was thrown into a Stanley Cup playoffs match against the eventual Cup Champion.Not sure what the progress Swayman has made
But if one of Rask or Halak go down briefly, like to see what he can do
Important to see what the team has to work with as both Halak and Rask could be gone after this season. Dont feel confident about Vladar. He looked really bad/shaky vs Tampa
Leafs fan coming in peace,
I have both Mcavoy and Grzelcyk in my hockey pool, i need to scratch one, who do you guys think will finish with more points this season if you had to guess? Thanks in advance for the help

Think they’d have to send 4 or 5 guys the other way at this point. Throw in some high draft picks to offset the players if you like.PLD is something they don’t have in the system, and will need to get into on the roster in the next 2 years or so if they are going to have any kind of future as a legit contender.
