If the price is something like Greenway and Rask + prospect for Monahan then I'm all for it.I don’t love Monahan but I just want Guerin to take a chance on any center with upside. It’s worked out recently for other teams. See Sam Bennet, Trocheck, Lindholm, etc.
I think 3 games already. I would love to have Soucy back, and I think he would love to be back.Guerin should absolutely see how much it would cost to get Soucy back. Shouldn't be all that much considering he's been a healthy scratch on more than one occasion.
What about Teddy Blueger if he’s playing center? Cheap acquisition without giving up much. Otherwise we’re just mentioning people we’ve already said before at this point, there’s only so many good centers out there.
He's been largely ineffective at his current role playing with McGinn and Aston-Reese, and when Crosby & Malkin return, he'll likely end up on the fourth line or on the wing. I understand what you're trying to do, but he's not an upgrade.
At this point I'm just hoping we can get Fiala producing enough to get something decent at the deadline, and that Kap might actually resemble the player he was last year.Why not just let the team do what it will, and if that means missing playoffs, then so be it, instead of fighting tooth and nail to get knocked out in the first round?
Team clearly isn't a contender, what's the point of paying futures to slightly upgrade it?
Yeah, whatever one thinks about this team's strengths and weaknesses they're performing well within expectations right now. If management really went into this season expecting more from this roster than what they're seeing... that'd be worrying.Why not just let the team do what it will, and if that means missing playoffs, then so be it, instead of fighting tooth and nail to get knocked out in the first round?

The time to address the centers was this summer and they've instead opted to develop from within. Which is fine, but settle in because it's not going be a fast process.
soucy back? make it so #1. omg merrill & benn vs soucy & cole? how did BG let that happen?
Guerin giving Spurgeon a terrible contract is what started the trend of overpaying defensemenI'll say this; given the contracts given out to defensemen, Guerin actually doesn't look to bad.
Erik Karlsson and Vlasic says hi.Guerin giving Spurgeon a terrible contract is what started the trend of overpaying defensemen

You can argue that Burns deserved his contract, partly for services rendered. That's the argument for giving a "good soldier' like Spurgeon the contract he got, when he had done yeoman's service for the team and was underpaid previously.Also Burns

That's part of my problem with the Kaprizov contract. He spent years doing everything he could to not play for the Wild, then demanded big money after only 55 gp.
