I would like Carlo to have a look on PP. I know it might sound crazy considering his total point production however he is a better skater than Krug, has a better reach than Krug, can defend odd man rushes better than Krug. Carlo's shot is not on Krug's level yet in terms of accuracy. That said from what I saw last night Krug on PP is not what he used to be.

Wow, just no. People overreact to one game way too f***ing much

Some sound logic in this post.

These are some of the centers I've been looking into...

Kevin Hayes
Coyle
Brock Nelson
Eric Staal
Filppula
Marcus Johansson
Brassard
Hanzal
Pageau
Thank you!

Nelson and Filppula are two interesting options that might be cost effective.

The great thing is I don’t have to figure any of this out.

I’ll predict that Mcavoy and Carlo come in at $8.5-9M next year with Mcavoy making $5.5 and Carlo signing a bridge deal at $3.

Philadelphia retains $3M on Voracek if we make the pick a 2nd rounder and throw in Cehlarik. That’s +$4M in cap this year. Then you factor in moving Backes and slashing Chara, there’s around $9M to sign Mcavoy and Carlo.

Philly has Gostisbehere, don’t need to Krug and they sure as f*** aren’t retaining 3 for 5 years for Cehlarik and a 2nd

Aberg would be perfect as a 3rd line center. He played super for the preds in their playoff run a couple of years ago when injuries hit them. He stepped up and played extremely well. Couldn't believe when the Oilers actually put him on waivers earlier this year. I was hoping he'd slide and Boston would pick him-up then.

Aberg is a winger and pretty bad defensively. He had issues in Edmonton on top of his play.

Krug’s career high on the PP is 25 points. He currently has 18 in 33 games. So, yes he isn’t what he used to be, he is doing even better.
That’s great, but the team needs a top 6 winger that will help them at even strength as well as the powerplay. Do you think the drop off in PP production would really be that great if Mcavoy was in there instead of Krug? He currently has 0.64 ppg with half the amount of powerplay TOI.

Considering McAvoy can’t even find his way to the ice, yes. I would personally take DeBrusk off the PP and use both. Charlie out high, Krug on the half wall and Pasta on the other side

Charlie’s production is also mostly been 5 on 5. His PP work left a lot to be desired, he can improve, but he won’t replace Krug overnight.

With this logic everyone should trade their 20 year old dmen for 35+ players because history says so. McAvoy should be in zero trade talks. NONE. ZIP. ZEERROOOO....

We traded Seguin for scraps and now he scores on us every game. We have no pieces left from that trade and now have a small window for a cup with no sure thing center ready to go in the system, but a good number of prospects who COULD step in one day.

We trade McAvoy for a run or 2, we then have no #1D in the system ready to go when Chara (and according to your proposal Keith) retires. IF and only IF we have to trade Mc for some reason it's for a #1C of similar age (Point, Dria, Mack, Eichel, etc.)

I don't think anyone said anything about SHOULD

when you and I come up with a billion dollars we can go buy the team from Jacobs and hire the president and gm and wo whatever we want

checking my wallet I can contribute almost 500 dollars. you probably live closer to boston then I do and since you need to come up with the rest of the 999 million dollars before we get control I will just let you go handle the paperwork

once you do... I 100% agree with you... lets keep McAvoy

until we get the team I will continue to point out that sometimes our team doesn't make trades we are happy with here and often young kids like seguin and thornton are traded for returns that look like crap

I wish it wasn't so... but I feel the team is reluctant to give big 6 million dollar contracts to guys that they feel haven't proven it yet

That doesn’t help the team at even strength, still need someone that can play on the second line and probably a 3C if they want to contend this year. I don’t mind picking up a rental 3C but Schenn would be the best option available.

Also, Gostisbehere isn’t as good as Krug, so maybe the Flyers move him out. Not sure but I think they need a winger like Dadanov or Voracek to compete this year.

I'd still want him whether its on the wing or center,maybe I'm remembering wrong but I thought back in 16-17 he was playing center for the Preds during their Cup run,either way I really liked his game.

Why is he bad defensively? I'll admit I haven't seen him play a lot but when I have nothing really glowing stuck out.

He was never a center. For third line he would only potentially replace Donato and I don’t see a point. Aberg-JFK-Donato would get murdered nightly.

why are we talking about trading mcavoy? :laugh:

i like ferland and would consider a 2nd/prospect for him after the canes don't get a 1st.
ideally we can find a better player that's gonna hang around longer. but if we're talking
pure rental RW, i would want stone, simmonds or silfverberg. silfverberg would cost the
least and he could be a really nice fit on this team. hope the ducks keep losing.

Stone is a tier above those guys. He would help in the playoffs the most. I'd give up value for him just for a rental, now that Ottawa got over its not trading in the division hang-up

I don’t dislike Ferland, but he’s a UFA, and I can see him looking for a big pay day. As I already said, I’m getting a Beleskey vibe here and the B’s don’t need another contract like that.

As far as Heinen goes, I hope he stays, but if he goes, I want someone better than Ferland coming back. Move him (plus) for Anderson or maybe even Wood, because both of those guys are younger than Ferland.
I like Anderson and Wood. Wood is better suited to current game great skater and nasty. With NJ out of it a package of prospects might get him. Cant see Columbus moving Anderson, I expe t them to be buyers at deadline
