Any idea on what it'd cost to acquire AA? Would a couple of 2nd's or a 2nd + Puljujarvi be enough in your eyes?

I’d do a couple 2nds
Not much of either these days but finisher if anything. Obviously if he was with McDavid he’d pot 30 just on the 2 on 0s they’d getSounds like a deal to me. Is he a decent passer or just mostly a finisher?

Agreed, however I'd consider a 2nd & a good C/LHD prospect (not b-level), we need talent asap & 1 pick is such a gamble, even more so than AA's bounce back & contract.Id keep him if I couldn’t get a 1st. His style makes him hard to match up with other teammates. He’s kind of a breakout artist. I think he’d fit well on a line with two checkers because he doesn’t really play off teammates. But I can’t imagine the horror him and mcdavid would put on a defense with that speed barreling down on them. I think you keep him on the third line until you are desperate for quick offense, then put him next to mcdavid and say “GO GO GO”

I find it pretty hard to gauge AAs value tbh
Thanks for the reply. I'd be hard pressed to pay a 1st for a non top 6 forward unless it was a high end 3C. The main reason that I'd be looking to acquire him would be to give Connor a decent LW.

AA is most definitely a top 6 forward. He's one season removed from a 30 goal season on one of the worst teams in the league. He's been off this year but he's young and our entire team has been an absolute dumpster fire. The only reason to put AA on the third is to create matchup nightmares for the other team, but do you guys even have that kind of depth?
If Tyler Benson proves to be a very good offensive player we could have 3 scoring lines with Neal on the RW on the 3rd line. That said our bottom 6 has been decent this year and it's a situation where our 2nd line is flat out dominant and McDavid is playing with scraps on the top line. If we get the 1st line going like the 2nd we would be a match-up nightmare. I like AA because he has team control and is young enough to fit into our core group.
I think they would kill people in transition and create lots of odd-man rushes on the same line (McDavid and AA). But I'm not sure how they would play together once they set up in the zone.
you could put him next to mcdavid. I get the feeling if AA went there he’d be a totally different player. You saw what he could do last year on a **** team. I don’t think he wants to be here and that is likely effecting his play. He could get next to mcdavid and flip a switch because he’s happy with his situation. A first COULD be a total steal On your end if everything comes together.

I also think that they could create a killer line. If the work fine together, they could definitely be a nightmare for opponents.
Yzerman should ask for at least 1st and nothing less.
Might be better to load up McDavid's line a bit and see if AA can be instant offense on the second line. something like Drai-McDavid for the first line, and the RNH with AA on the second line.
My God
What Muzzin did was clean LOL
To be fair, the third one was not like the first two. A "rib type injury" as it was described in the past; did he break a few ribs and is dealing with like a stabbing pain when he exerts a lot of effort? Did he bruise a lung and can't put out effort because his breathing is effected? It's a weird one. One that shouldn't have happened, and one that the league should have at a bare minimum should have acknowledged and addressed immediately. Even if they didn't want to punish Muzzin, they should have made it clear that moving forward any kind of lift and slam is unacceptable. I mean for ****s sake, even the NFL doesn't allow tackling that resembles a wrestling throw.
