Just said on TSN that JHS is getting looks from Carolina and a few other teams...
Why can I see JHS breaking out in Carolina?
It will be a loss anyway you shake, the isles lack speed and talent.At this point?
God bless him, ain’t happening here
Getting anything of value for him is a win
Carolina knows how to develop young wingers.Why can I see JHS breaking out in Carolina?
Fit matters, so it's possible the lines you're suggesting make more sense. I just don't think that second line has enough oomph on it for when the going gets tough. I'm by no means suggesting Lee needs to stay where he is and his spot can't be improved upon. I don't like the idea of forcing players into certain spot.I wouldn’t even consider Hall and Barzal together as stacking the first line. Hall’s skating ability would allow him to keep up with Barzal in a way that Lee can’t.
Hall-Barzal-Eberle
Lee-Nelson-Wahlstrom
Beau-Brassard-Bailey
4th line
2nd & 3rd line wingers are all interchangeable, and the only weak spot is Brassard (assuming he continues to play like ****).
At the draft, the CAR owner was wearing jeans and a t-shirt at the draft table and sitting next to the GM. He's not bound by convention and fashions himself as a maverick. I think we may have found our tango partner!
Trade for Zucker. Minnesota sucks and Zucker just called out the coach for it. He's on a 5.5 million a year contract for four more years but he's fast and should be good for 30 goals per season on Barzal's wing. I don't know what they would like in return but I'd give up Leddy, a prospect (like MDC or JHS or similar) and a third round pick in next year's draft.
I like how you think. Staal would be great here and he is a true leader on the ice and an underrated performer. Giving up Wilde would sting a bit but we would be dealing from strength.Leddy is what they don't need, a Top 4 defender. Minnesota is trapped by the Parise contract too. This would be a totally futures package. Why not go all the way to contend then? Zucker and Stall? Minnesota would have to take some salary back to make it work. Send Clutterbuck back to Minny.

2020 #1
Soderstrom
One of Dal Colle or Bellows (if they prefer Ho-Sang so much the better)
2020 #2
They get some nice pieces for their rebuild (they might well earn the #1 overall this year) and we look like:
Zucker / Barzal / Wahlstrom
Lee / Nelson / Bailey
Beau / Staal / Eberle
Ross-MM / CC / Komarov
That's a Cup contending offense and it gives Koivula and Holmstrom the time to fully develop.
I would drop anders Lee to third line before eberle. Anders can’t skate, carry the puck or as we saw last night pass 5ft in neutral zone. His top 6 days need to be numbered he slows down that top line. Otherwise solid lineup this is.Leddy is what they don't need, a Top 4 defender. Minnesota is trapped by the Parise contract too.

Especially since it puts Minny at 50 contracts.How old is he?
I think that's too many pieces.
Can we please trade him somewhere out West? I'm petrified of the potential of seeing him 4x a year as a 40 goal scorer.Just said on TSN that JHS is getting looks from Carolina and a few other teams...

If he wants to score 40 goals in Vancouver, I'll be nothing but happy for him.

You're giving them a bunch of junk aside from the picks. They'd be better off selling them separately and getting a better return without having a bunch of crud filling up their reserve list.
NHL DRAFT 2020:
Best draft in ages, and that although we've had some real good ones in recent years.
The amount of high-end prospects is nothing less than astounding.
You do not move the 2020 1st and 2nd rounders!
They're now officially off the board for any and all trade suggestions we make throughout this winter.
So....you're saying there's a chance?!?!?!Ho-Sang's chances of scoring 40 goals in the NHL are on par with Kirl Kabanov mounting a comeback.
