Rooney was fine as a 4C, but its time to see if McLeod can sink or swim in NHL.
Vrana and Kempny for 20Cordell mentioned Jakub Vrana as a potential cap casualty in Washington as they apparently want to make room to bring back Brenden Dillon (according to Friedman)
I would love to grab him.
Hey, I've been calling him QuestforSeney since before it was cool, don't you take that away from me.@Nubmer6 accuses me of being Jesper Bratt but it's more likely that Stanley could be Seney.
I like Rooney, think he's a good 4th line center..but we just have too many guys that cant stay in the AHL forever
Probably not an original idea, but how about an indirect three way trade:
New Jersey: LD Noah Hanifin (4 x 4.9)
Calgary: LD Jake Bean (1 x 0.863)
Carolina: 20th overall
Maybe not ideal for Carolina, but they get a mulligan and don't have to worry about protecting Bean for the Expansion Draft. Calgary shakes up their room, adds a local kid with some theoretical upside, and frees up 4 mil in cap space to spend elsewhere. We get a young NHL D who could hopefully grow with the current group.
The phone knows.I’d rather give BASTIAN a shot at RW4 over Hayden since BASTIAN took a nice step forward last year it seems and may still have some additional room to grow. Hayden seems to have plateaued and doesn’t offer much other than a big body who hits which BASTIAN also offers.
Not sure why my phone autocorrects Bastian into all caps of I’m not paying attention.

I don't think Hayden even factors into the equation for next year, frankly.
I've had the 20-21 fourth line as Kuokkanen-Zajac-Anderson for a while now. I could see Bastian being a part of the conversation, especially if he has a good camp. But Hayden won't even be a consideration.
I don’t see Hayden making it either. There’s a pretty big log jam at forward as is and if we were to draft Rossi, who may be NHL ready, we may be forced to make some trades depending on waiver eligibility.I don't think Hayden even factors into the equation for next year, frankly.

Kind of forgot about Zacha in all of this. I wonder what a Zacha + 18th would net us.
I'd prefer Rossi play in a Euro men's league for a season. Let him transition and hopefully NJ is in a better spot the next season when he'd make the jump. Hard to see an 18 year old get the proper attention needed when the team is still so unsettled and coming off a dumpster fire season.
Also, can CHL players even play in Europe? I thought they had to go back to the CHL if they don't make their NHL teams.
