Change is good.
Pokkahonkasa?
Wait, we get them both PLUS Poccahantas? Sign me up!
(In all seriousness, would be thrilled to get either, depending on the package going back.)
Pokkahonkasa?
No way. If you have a 1st, 2nd, and 3rd in an upcoming draft, you are PRAYING you come out of it with a Skjei and a Lindberg and only one bust. Never mind the fact that the latter could contribute to your team THIS season.
Projected vs. panned out is huge. As is another 3-4 years of waiting.How early is that first? Skjei was picked late first, and his value right now is probably late first. Lindberg was picked late second, and his value right now is probably late second.
It's close, but if its a higher first, I'd take the picks.
Kreider/Graves/2nd?

I'd begrudgingly do it.
I'd feel much more comfortable doing the Miller/Skjei+ package honestly.
So if NYR traded Skjei for a 1st round pick you would think that is a good trade?

I wouldn't trade Skjei for a late 1st.
With any Canadian team - YES. Otherwise not so sure
Winnipeg is pretty close to home for Marc Staal. Would they take him as an acceptable 2nd pair LHD? Please?
I think a team like Edmonton offers a much better package. I think they'd offer up Nurse or Klefbom. Still have one of those guys and Sekera on the left. Not a bad defensive corps.

Don't overpay for a guy who has asked for a trade because you have a shiny new toy syndrome. Only do it if you improve the team unquestionably.
Kreider and Brady?
JT. and Brady?
Zooks and Dylan?
No No and No
That one does, with out question.
It's closer to home than NYC. They're about as close as Cleveland is to NYC, which is to say not very close at all.
Plenty of questions if JT scores 50 points and Brady becomes a top 6 dman.
Well, now that's deceptive. Everything is farther away out there. If I'm not mistaken, the only NHL city closer to Thunder Bay than Winnipeg is Minneapolis (where Eric signed earlier this summer).
Major if on JT, I do think Skjei is more or less a lock to be at least a solid third pair D though.
Trouba is already a top 4 RHD though. Thats an ultra rare commodity.
JT had 43 last season in basically his first full season in the nhl. I think he is almost a lock to score 50 or more sometime. That is only a 7 point improvement.
Right, but I have. And an extra hour in the air makes a big difference, both for the player, and his family. If (and honestly, this is a point none of us really know) playing near where he grew up is something Marc would find appealing, there's Minnesota, then Winnipeg, then Chicago/Detroit, then everything else.Unless you've traveled around west of the Mississippi, most of us Easterners don't have a real concept of how big this country, or Canada, really is.
And yes, Minneapolis is closer to Thunder Bay by about 100 miles.
