I wouldn't trade Keller for that package, and Huberdeau is better than Keller.
How about Dzingel from Ottawa? What is his cost
Jensen as a rental holds more value than both of those with term IMO.If Jensen gets Bowey + 2nd, we better be selling on Demer/Goligoski considering both are considerably better.
Now with new contract at $2.5 per year I still believe Jensen is much more valuable than out two.Jensen as a rental holds more value than both of those with term IMO.
No. Not at all. I kinda hate Goligoski and especially Demers. I might be more down on them than any Coyotes fan that posts on this forum. They're both better than Jensen, who basically sucks.He's as good as our two.
Jensen is a good 3rd pairing RD, and an ok 2nd pairing. He does that for significantly less money tgan than our two similar position players.No. Not at all.

Apparently a "numbers" issue with Duchene in town??Wennberg is a healthy scratch.
Imo Goligoski's value is severely hampered by 2 more years at roughly $5.5 while trending the wrong direction. That's top 3 money for a guy probably not able to be top 3.Probably better value than Demers because of contract ($3M and 4M cap hit instead of 2.5). Not anything like Goligoski's value
Are you suggesting Goligiski is better than Ryan Ellis??? Alzner is done and Shatty might not be far from joining him. Other bad contracts don't make Goligoski more valuable, He's old and overpaid.Go look at defenseman contracts. Lots of worse players at 5M+. Alzner, Ellis, Shatty, et al just recently signed worse deals, for example. Dmen get paid. They also fetch a premium at the deadline.
If Goligoski and Demers are playing in your top 4 you really don't have much chance of being a good team.Goligoski is a decent 1st pairing, good 2nd pairing dman. Demers is a bit worse in the consistency department but could be a good 1st pairing. They're not world beaters, but Goligoski is 36th in d-man scoring since 2016/17, Demers is 92nd. Both are in the top 150 in p/gp, which improves to 40/71 respectively when considering only d-man with more than 150 games in that span.
Now I could be wrong, but I think teams consider that to be more valuable than a player with 15 points in each of 3 years, even given any supposed difference in defensive ability.
I can definitely see a fit. If Chayka is looking for center optionality to make up for the surely rusty Dvorak, the LTIR'd Schmaltz, and the declining Stepan, Wennberg checks the box. If he's looking for guys with term, Wennberg checks the box. He's in that early-mid-twenties age range that Chayka likes.Wennberg is a healthy scratch.
I’d take them over the TML’s defense.If Goligoski and Demers are playing in your top 4 you really don't have much chance of being a good team.
Over Rielly, Muzzin, and Gardiner?? Thankfully you aren't a GM. Of course they are better than Zaitsev, Hainsey, and Dermott right now. Dermott will pass both.I’d take them over the TML’s defense.
You were talking top 4, right? Guess TML are a bad team.Over Rielly, Muzzin, and Gardiner?? Thankfully you aren't a GM. Of course they are better than Zaitsev, Hainsey, and Dermott right now. Dermott will pass both.
So where would you play either of Goligiski or Demers in TML top 4?? And I wrote both. But to be really honest TML aren't really that good when you consider how bad their D play against top teams so I guess you are correct.You were talking top 4, right? Guess TML are a bad team.
