Where are you seeing that?
Oh, just the healthy scratch he took last night.

You seem to think most anyone not in top 6F or top 4D don’t have “any value”Both have near zero value.
Bennett doesn't have great value either but I think Calgary could trade him for Virtanen to give both a fresh start and avoid quarantines too.
I’d happily welcome back Conno. We just cannot afford him. Would need to be Panik + moving a player on the roster now (Siegs, Jensen, TVR, Sprong, Sheary) etc as well.Oh, just the healthy scratch he took last night.

jensen has value. He’s a top 6 on almost all teams, save maybe a handful. LuJo has been injured — a LOT — and sure he’s fallen far since his draft time, but he’s your no risk reclamation project. I think Jensen and Bennett are very similar in value.
but that’s fine
Yeah, I was just joking/taking a dig at Ottawa for trading a second for Stepan at the end of the offseason, which I personally thought was a terrible trade given the market at the time and Stepan’s cap hit/recent production.You think Ottawa is giving us a second round pick for Hagelin or Panik? Ottawa would have to be insane to do that. At most they have zero value. Pessimistically they are negative value.
How much value do you think Bennett has, exactly?Anyone not in the top6f or top4d with a big contract has no value. Jensen has value if you look at his best games, negative if you look at his worst. Overall, he has limited value, depending on how the observer values him.
Lujo just passed waivers. He has zero value.

Dealing Panik just opens up one hole to close another. Gotta be our 8th D. Jensen. Jensen and a future (3rd?) for a Connolly and 300k retained. Send down Sprong.Panik plus retain $750k on Conno

lots and lots of players pass thru waivers. That’s not relevant here. All that means is that no team wanted to add LuJo to their big squad, at this point in his career. That’s a totally flawed mindset.

Well, it does matter if it could actually happen. Swapping wingers seems pointless. Adding a winger for a defenseman isn’t pointlessPanik and Jensen make effectively the same buck. Its just a detail. None of these trades are going to happen. Whether its Panik(who Laviolette loves) or Jensen really doesnt matter
Florida does this because...?

I'll take a pass on Conno. I appreciate his past contributions and thankful, however I'm looking forward to the future. Panik has been great so far this season.
I mean, this isn't panic-trading tho. There are guys out for an indeterminate period... Zero word on Kuzy for instance... And there are some potentially interesting pieces that could be available. You always wanna look to make the team better and deeper and more well-balanced if the opportunity is there.Sigh - typical Caps board. 9 games into the season, equal 1st in the league with Toronto (with a game in hand), a team which has stepped up despite the various challenges, injuries etc....
And people are talking trades

Lol you love pushing this line when we could have both.We have reached the point where Tom Wilson actually better than Filip Forsberg
luckily for us we have 8 + at least 1 who can play if absolutely necessarySome of the talk IS Panik trading
I guess looking to move a forward for a forward is one thing - but suggesting we get rid of a D for a forward is just a bad idea. We have 8 D's and one of them (Chara) shouldn't be expected to play every single game. Need to make sure players are rested for the playoffs, and it's inevitable
there will be injuries to D's, so I think a team should always have 8 NHL calibre D's available (or the 8th should be as close to NHL calibre as possible).
He did — and then Chara fell into his lap. I’d argue they had their depth and then the ultimate warrior decided to come to town and now then are almost too full.I could make the case and I think MacLellan has already made the case that he loaded up on defensemen because he needed them to play. So far he has already needed #s 7 and 8. Had he thought #s 9 and 10 were just as good, he would have used them.
