I understand that Nick Ritchie is a highly touted prospect. But when in your life have you ever seen a team trade that kind of package (a top 6 forward, another good prospect, and a 2nd pick) for a guy who has NEVER played an NHL game? It just doesn't make sense.
Would you do BOS 1st, Koko, Trotman for Buff with 3 million retained?

Chara Buff
Seids C.Miller/Morrow

I'd really like to say yes, I like Byfuglien however I hate giving up a 1st rounder for him and I really don't feel like we should have to.
They've sheltered Byfuglien pretty well in Winnipeg and they know they likely can't re-sign him. Koko, Trotman and a 2nd or another prospect would be what I try for. Winnipeg gets two cost controlled players who can step right into their lineup & they add an extra future asset.
What 1st round pic? If it's next year, I wouldn't do it. Could be a top 5-10 pick as this is looking like a bridge year.
I don't think that's a bridge lineup with Buff.

Why wouldnt 28 other teams beat that god awful offer for simmonds? Brutal.
Maybe if it was Hamilton instead of miller
That's what ticks me off. There were so many trade proposals for top talent that would require Hamilton+. He could have fetched a top player with a draft pick and prospect.
I'd rather see any/all of Chara, Seidenberg, Krug, McQuaid, Miller, Miller, Irwin, Morrow, Trotman, Zboril than them trying to patch Franson and/or Byfuglien in. Franson at least has a lower value while being the better option. really though, I'd rather see them collect Zidlicky and Schlemko to challenge Irwin for his placeholder spot ahead of Trotman.
The nick ritchie talk does excite me a bit... but realisticly its not going to happen now. At the deadline i could see it depending how things are going. Anaheim is clearly in a win now mold. I dont know if any of their goalies are ready to be elite goalies this year. If anderson isnt having an amazing season i could see the potential to move rask and maybe eriksson to anaheim for one of their young coct controlld goalies plus richie plus one of their young dmen.
If we could walk away with gibson, theodore, ritchie and around 7 mill cap space to sign a number 1 ufa dman with that type of trade could bring us a cup or two down the road with all the other youth this team is now stock piling.
Of course anaheim doesnt do this if anderson doesnt struggle.
I see a couple other cup contenders with questionable goal tending we might be able to make a big move with.
Rask and krejci are the two big contracts that might be more useful to a cup team than they are to a bubble team. I think we need to wait until the deadline now and see how things are going. But down the road i see these two guys as the next in line to be a shocking trade like seguin and hamilton and even lucic all caught the fan base off guard the last 2 years.
Im not sure i like where we are headed but its definitely intersting. Got my fingers crossed for a good year hopefully.
