I agree with this mostly, I think the D needs to lose one of K. Miller, McQuaid, or Seidenberg but I don't think that is going to set us back, just get more playing time for the kids that we know can play in the NHL but need to get more experience to be relied on. I suppose my point being with we have young guys that can play top 4 was more to prove we don't need to move veterans to draft picks, because we have promising D coming through the ranks.

There is so much uncertainty between now and these prospects even being in the position to make the team, that it's crazy to look at the 2015 class. Know one knows where the FO is going. No one knows where this year's team is going to end up. Deadline deals? It's all a crap shoot. You also have prospects now on the team that can't get ice time, how will the even younger kids break the line up. Not everyone is a Pasternak. He too was on his way to the press box before he got hurt. He was making a lot of mistakes.
It's foolish to make a line up of the team in one year let alone two or three.

But I think this started somewhat with the discussion of Krug. And I do think teams actually do look at their lineup 2 and 3 years out and when they project players to make the league when making decisions.
Personally I think it is a no brainer to sign Krug, as long as you don't give a long term NTC. If you have a logjam in a couple of years then you have an exceptionally valuable trade chip available

I agree, but they are the ones who know what direction they want to take the team. That still is is not black and white due to cercumstances beyond their control.

Probably OT, but on the main board, there are many Kings fans that think Lucic is worth a 7x7 extension

They like him, he's been doing well. If he gets that contract though they will hate him worse than Brown in a year or two.

It's LA. They like fools gold. Good luck. I hope he does get it. I will be happy for him.
I'm going to post this here, I think I'll have to repost it shortly in a new thread but I think we should trade for Mark Fayne. He can play second pair minutes for us, he's young, on a good contract. I also bet we could get the Oilers to cover part of his contract since they are now paying to have him play in the AHL. He would fit in perfectly in Julien's system and we could acquire him for nothing. We should have picked him up on waivers but maybe we can get Chiarelli to cover part of his salary in a trade.

It seems like it's more of a style issue with the coach, they like to run a more wide open system where Fayne is more of a stay at home type that fit well with NJ, which makes me believe he would do alright here.

He seemed to be a pretty steady defender when he played for the Devils. If the B's could get him cheaply it might be a decent pickup.
If you can get the Oilers to cover part of the hit it makes sense, and I don't see why they wouldn't as they are taking his hit and paying him even in the AHL.

Pass.
With better 'D' prospects ready to make the jump in the next 1 or 2 years, we'd have no use for him.

Please don't....once was bad enough.
Seriously - Mark Fayne ???? If you're going to get an Oiler Defenseman how about one that can actually crack their putrid top 6 ???? I'm not sure Mark Fayne could even get 2nd pair minutes for Providence. And why do you think a guy like that who is getting paid $ 3.5 million until the 2018-19 season ( with a Cap Hit of $ 3.625 million for each season ) is on a " good contract " ????

Chara, Seidenberg, McQuaid, and K. Miller are already on the roster.
We don't need another stay-at-home unless he's an upgrade on at least 3 of the guys listed above.
I think Fayne would do fine here, I just question who he'd be moving for a spot.

They were also saying that if he gets to free agency, Benning will completely open the checkbook for him.
Re Lucic: I had a strange vision the other night (I blame it on eating too much at a trade meeting).
I got home for the end of the second period and was day dreaming about the whole Lucic issue with Weisse etc when I though "what if LA doesn't have the money and Montreal signs him?"
Threw up in my mouth a little there. It's definitely not as bad but it would be weird seeing him in a 'nucks uni also.
Watched Fayne out here a few times.Chiarelli would dance someone takes his deal.He is in minors now at 2.8 Cap hit.Be well over 3 if he is in NHL.He is way to inconsistant for my liking and too much term left for a bust if indeed he did here.If he cannot stick on Oilers it says alot.
