TB wants players not picks.I didn't say that Trocheck had Staal-like defensive skills. I said that Trocheck was no slouch defensively. That doesn't mean the same thing. Again, I think that it'll take a Cirelli or a similarly Selke-caliber centerman, in combination with Trocheck, to get Brindy away from overplaying Staal. As much as I love Brett Pesce, I would do just about anything to see the two-way monstrosity of an Aho/Cirelli/Trocheck/Staal/Geekie center corps, even if it's just for one year before one of those guys has to be either traded or bought out in order to make room for the Svech extension. I think there should be a deal centered around Cirelli + Cernak for Pesce + 2021 1st as a base. Something like this: Cirelli Deal with Explanation for How Dougie and Svech Can Fit - CapFriendly - NHL Salary Caps
Svechnikov-Aho-Teravainen
Gourde-Cirelli-Necas
Niederreiter-Staal-Trocheck
Lorentz-Paquette-Geekie
Slavin-Hamilton
Gardiner-Cernak
Skjei-TVR or Kaski/Cheap UFA

Bolded guys contribute to the possession blackholes appearing on the other team's side for at least half of the game. Best 200-foot defensive lineup in the cap era?
also, they are trading their younger version of Pesce for our version?
