Competition of ideas... good one. Is that what you call your posts?
Freedom of speech along with freedom to sound absolutely clueless for all to see.

I think this is the best value we could realistically get and I think I’d do it just to use 15th to move into the top 10. Not getting all the Skjei hate in the thread, he’s pretty underrated and if he wasn’t leaned on as our 1D he’d be much betterI'd 100% do it if the rangers eat weise's contract.
15th overall + Weise (one year at 2.35 million)
For
Skjei
Yeah, I see that, but if they got enough for DeHaan I could see it.
Also resolves the Fox issue.
15th outright is appealing, especially if the right prospect was there, and taking Weise is whatever, yet without some hedge on the 15th being a bust, I'm probably not there for Skjei, Just a little too much risk for me.
I think the Rangers have so many guys in the pipeline that signing Skjei long term might have been premature. At this point I think he could be a good 3/4 with the right partner. I do not think he will be a top pair guy. I think I'd do the 15OA+ Weise for Skjei today.
I think the Rangers will move on Fox. There might be a bigger deal in place but I don't think it would be Skjei.
Do you think Kreider would be in play for the Canes?
Yeah I have to say it's pretty close for me, just really would depend on who was left at 15 and how confident they are that will equate to even a Skjei level player at some point down the road.
From Habs
2nd + prospect not name Brook-Suzuki-Poehling-Ylonen-Ikonen-Fleury
Not trading the 15h OA pick in a good draft vs a D-man that has been struggling for 2 years, not worth it.
your no vote and request for other variation is acknowledged.
Not sure your restriction leaves enuf meat on the bone for us to consider.
Skjei is not Brendan Smith
someone will pay for him
the ? is to find out who and how much
Cause we all know you'd actually need to PAY a team to take Brendan Smith...
Habs aren't trading a A or B+ grade prospect + 2nd for a struggling d-man that's been trending downward for 2 back to back seasons now. We'd take a flyer on him if it meant a middle of the pack 2nd pick AND a b-/C prospect like McHSane,Ticzka, Walford. Anything ore and it's just not worth it considering his salary. YES we have cap room to fit him, but we could also use that room and bring in a Panarin-type UFA.

How about a swap of a couple struggling players?
Drouin + 15 OA for Skjei + 22 OA (Jets 1st)?
Trending downward like the whole NYR defensive core.
It isn't Skjei who is really bad, the defense is really bad.
There was a time this season when Staal got the most ice of any dman for a bunch of games.
That says all you need to know.

I think you’ll find that debatable, most Habs fans want JD gone, want a legitimate Top 4 LHD and still want a 1st rounder. I don’t think Drouin or 15 OA straight up gets Skjei, great if it does but I think we need to addWhy tho
Drouin > 22
15 > Skjei
Habs get recked so much here it's horrible

Not sure the ‘pace’ argument will work for Droudini unless all the other GMs stopped watching the Habs to finish the year but if MB can do better or get Fowler with the 15th I’m in and will take back a lot of the Bergevin bashing I’ve done the last few years if he can pull that offNot most Habs fans want JD gone, that's simply not true. Guy has been consistent on a 55pts pace for the past 3 years now. ain'T NO WAY we can find that @ 22.
Skjei has been horrendous for 2years now, he's not worth a 15th pick, plain simple. I'd rather trade that pick + something else for Fowler than get Skjei
