Meh. Broadhurst signs a one-year extension.

Hjalmarsson with a disappointing return may be bad if we are looking to move Murray.

Connor Murphy with the amazing return, might be good if we are looking to move Murray.

Hawks

Connor Murphy isn't all that different than Murray in their development curves. Inconsistent, injury plagued, defensive-dmen than haven't shown the offensive flair.

Murphy is a RD, more physical. Murray has a much better contract, more poise.

Saad Panarin trade talka

 

[CBJSlash]

who the how the what the





EDIT: more detail



so um yeah how about them rangers eh

 

[CBJWerenski8]

I know this draft blows, but is an unproven small goalie and Stepan worth the 7th overall pick and another 1st round pick defenseman?

Stepan >= 7th OA. Raanta =< DeAngelo

I think it's fair for Arizona. The biggest negative in regards to Stepan is his contract but Arizona has cap space out the ass.

I'm glad we dealt for guys like MOtte and Schroeder, and resigned Broadhurst. The forward depth for Cleveland was rough last year, and the first two definitely can step in for NHL injuries.

Also, if PLD proves ready, I'm warming up to a Jenner-PLD pair on the 3rd line next year. He can acclimate into the league without a ton of pressure to produce. Plus, Jenner can cover some faceoffs and such as needed.

Jenner-Dubois-Anderson as a 3rd line is a pretty good way to start your first NHL season.

A guy who was sent back to juniors as an overage player after short stints in Cleveland and the ECHL for a "AAAA" guy (borderline NHL/AHL player).

Not bad.

Mr. Schroeder, meet Interstate 71. I-71, Mr. Schroeder.

 

[CBJWerenski8]

So the rumor is the Isles offered Hamonic+1st+Prospect for Duchene. You guys want to top that? I sure don't

 

[Jackets Woodchuck]

Remember, we can offer the Avs something no one else can:

We can get the Monsters to return any Avs property they left laying around the Q or OBM Arena (practice rink).

Yes, that was sarcasm.

no rule like that in the NHL

Thanks!

I think we got a better player for less in Panarin.

 

[DarkandStormy]

Depends on the prospect.

Murray + Collins/Milano + 2018 1st?

 

[Crede777]

No but I sure don't want Duchene going to NYI. Tough choices.

 

[EspenK]

I eliminated Collins

Maybe if they return a 2018 2nd or retain some salary or something like that. I like Duchene and think Torts could maximize his value but based on last couple of years lessens his trade value imo.

 

[Crede777]

If we acquired Duchene, here's a potential lineup (I didn't overload the top line but instead went for chemistry and spread out scoring).

Panarin - Wennberg - Foligno <- Panarin brings speed, Wennberg is the pivot, Foligno does work down low.
Jenner - Duchene - Atkinson <- Duchene and Atkinson bring speed. Jenner does the work down low.
Calvert - Dubinsky - Anderson <- Starts game against opponent's top line.
Hartnell - PLD - Bjorkstrand <- "Youth" line, PLD can shift to LW and Sedlak takes center.
Sedlak

Werenski - Jones
Johnson - Savard
Nutivaara - Carlsson
Harrington
Gavrikov

Bobrovsky
Korpisalo

Did you acquire Duchene via Milano & Gavrikov & a 1st? We lose Murray in any hypothetical Duchene scenario.

Yeah I forgot to change him. My bad. Also forgot to take out Milano mention. Assuming Murray + Milano + 2018 1st.
