Pls stop quoting the guy.
Sorry man. I just cannot believe anyone in their right mind could say it's a good thing to trade Stepan

It all depends on the return. For instance, wouldn't you at least consider it for a premier RHD on a sweetheart of a contract?

If the return is good enough, sure. But that is not the reason behind people suggesting the trade. I see people wanting to trade Stepan just so we can protect Lindberg, or to get younger and how his 6.5m AAV is too much (Which it isn't)
Oscar has surprised me positive this year after the major injury blow and surgery.
He has been flying over the ice the last month - very impressed!
I hope AV will demote/promote Zucc to play with him some games - it would be so fun to watch and get some skills on that 4th line!

I do too. I thought he was garbage earlier this year, but he's making me eat some crow. I never thought he'd recover this nicely from the hip injury
I'm surprised no one bumped this before me, but he has been one of our better players for a long stretch here.
I think he has shown tremendous growth and some of the offensive upside we've been looking for. Definitely deserves more minutes

I want this team to do everything it can to avoid losing either Fast or Lindberg. These guys are the PERFECT 4th line pair for a top team. And they show up in the playoffs.

I think it would be a big mistake to let Lindberg go. He plays the style suited for the playoffs. Strong on forecheck. Wins battles. Creates chances. Wins draws. Responsible defensively. I would consider moving Hayes this summer. I am not in love with him. He's shown me nothing this series. And they can't keep both Hayes and Zibanejad. They both are soft.

I think you're just fixing one problem and creating another if that's the deal. There's no one else on the roster or in the pipeline or that I can think of as a realistic FA acquisition who should be a Top 6 Center for us.
I say it often when Stepan's name is mentioned as trade bait...for so long before we had Brassard we struggled to consistently have two good centers up the middle. Is it really the best solution to finding a d-man to play the right side?

Lindberg, Fast and a rock would be one of the best 4th lines in the league.
If we can keep both of them, and put something with legs on the other wing, they're easily the best in the league.

Just posted this in the Post-Game thread. This is incredible if accurate. Not even one? Wow! :
The 4th line has very clearly been a huge difference in this series, tonight included

There were people who wanted to play Hrivik and Puempel ahead of him. No. This guy as a 4th line center--he's like a younger and bigger version of Dominic Moore with more of a goal scoring touch.

It can't be accurate if Dan Girardi is in 5th place with a positive corsi.
He was really bad earlier in the year.
His legs came back and hes been awesome since.
