Anyone think a Skjei trade to Carolina could work? Hurricanes are looking for a dman with Dougie out.
We'll keep that in mind the next time you post bullshit in this threadCritiquing it is so much more effective though.
dreger got beaned
I'm guessing his name is at least in discussions, if sources connected enough for Dreger to report it thought that.

I would feel excellent about the long term health of their forward pool if they managed to get one of Lafrieniere, Byfield, Raymond, Holtz, Stutzle, or Rossi in this draft. To a lesser extent, Lundell, who I see more as a Stepan-caliber center (though not style, just in terms of overall quality). And obviously some of those names are way more unlikely than others.
I would identify and build around Kakko/Kravtsov/Chytil/rookie/Panarin/Zibanejad as my long term top-6, with the understanding also that Panarin and Zibanejad are going to age-out at some point while Kakko and company are still able to compete for championships, therefore, obviously I'm still long-term hunting for another player or two for my top-6, but if I have to ride on pairings of, say, Kakko-Chytil on a top line and Kravtsov-rookie on a second line, I feel confident that that's the core of two lines that can carry the team to the Finals when those players are 27 years old-ish.
Kreider just doesn't fit in this time-line for me as a top-liner at $7m. I don't think he's capable of being a line-driver like Kakko projects to be. I am expecting Kravtsov and Chytil to develop into at least Kreider-equivalents, I'm hoping a good bit more than him actually (say, 60-70 point players instead of 45-55 point players).

Seems like Fast would fall into the actively shopping category as well, though it's weird we haven't heard any specific teams. Though McKenzie said the Rangers would expect a 2nd and maybe a little more.Not that it wouldn't work, but I don't think we've seen any substantive rumors involving Skjei (or for that matter any of the other guys we thought could be moved this deadline including Strome, Fast, Lundqvist, or Georgiev). It seems like they're only actively shopping Kreider at this point and only to the extent they can't nail down an extension.
A top prospect & 1stIt would be interesting to see what Namestnikov can return for Ottawa in the context of range of what either Strome (especially) or Fast could fetch.
NHL “insiders” are all so shit. Easily the worst in all of sports. I wish the NHL had someone half as good as Woj
