BuzzkillGuys the linked rumor literally said they wanted AA because they didn't want to give up Dobson for Hall.
So if you're giving this any credence, no, you're not getting Dobson.

*900 year old Yoda voice *Yeah, but Ricelund posted in it, so...
Also, are you guys aware there's a prospect for the Devils named Zetterlund?
I doubt Isles fans wanna move Dobson for AA 1:1, but their GM might. We shouldn't be adding a pick unless it's for an established youngish D/C. Dobson isn't Makar, still kinda unproven. Besides, he's a RHS, so unless he can play LD just as effectively, he'd be behind Hronek & Seider. I say this as someone who wanted us to draft Dobson until Zadina fell to 6th. Bouchard was my 2nd choice. After last night, I'm as excited as the day Zadina was drafted. If anything he's more of a playmaker w/a great shot, more complete game than 1yr ago for sure.
Yeah, that's kinda what I meant, but didn't phrase it properly. Someone who is on the cusp of breaking out, but already in the NHL showing upward trajectory & good advanced stats is really what I should've said.The problem is if you want to get someone who is established, the price tag goes up significantly. Your best bet is to trade for someone you believe will be that guy, before he becomes that guy.
Also, when I say throw in a pick, I don't mean a 1st rounder.

AA+Green (both 50% retention) for Dobson & 2nd seems fair. Isles have a real shot at the cup this year.AA + Green (Trotz might be tempted if we keep a lot of salary on this one, knows his game and Green knows his system already, we surely only be expected to contribute bottom pairing minutes as well)

Wahlstrom + Something else.
I would do that. Don't know whether NYI will do though.

I do wonder if we can do something clever with AA's contract + Retention, say we sign him too a 5mil/3yrs deal before trading him at 50% retention.
That cap space hit is gonna be small potatoes over the duration of that contract but having a 30 goal capable player on a 2.5mil cap hit could be absolutely invaluable too a contender.
Bet its Dal Colle and a pick... not sure i like that, even if it's a late first.
I think Hall needs to be the first domino to fall. He'll set the market, price, etc. Obviously AA is a decent, younger, cheaper 2nd option. There seems to be only so many teams that are actually in sell mode and AA might be really attractive to teams like Oilers/Panthers/Sabres/Canadians/Bruins(maybe)/Avs/Coyotes/Blues and more teams on the fringe that might come in. The trick for Yzerman will be getting a player for AA imo. Wings can get a 1st rounder or 1st round value I think for him, but what Red Wings really need more than a late 1st round pick is a #1 defensemen and I don't see many top tier playoff teams willing to part with one of their top defenders going into a playoff run.
Nyquist>AA and what did we got for him ? Late second and third
Is there a reason why everybody and their dog is ragging Anthanisiou but Larkin receives a free pass from the fanbase for his poor play? AA is obviously still affected by his injury anyways. Guy was electric and scored 30 with dog**** linemates. Do not sell the guy short.
