I still think a trade of brodin + koivu for rnh, which I'd actually realistic. It fits the team getting lesser prices [edm with brodin (by a little) and koivu (clear least valuable piece) and fills the only hole the wild have 1c while allowing us to resign spurge, leaving:
Suter-dumba
Scandella-spurgeon
As top 4 in 2 years. And
Parise-rnh-zucker
Nino-granny-poms
Coyle, maybe tuch line
As top 9.
It's seriously risky, which I understand. I don't think brodin tops out as worse than vlasic and his potential is amazing. This is a role I think suter will at fit for the next few years and then some. Regardless, a huge loss, with a great contract.
Koivu is essential for Edmonton to being able to trade rnh this off-season. He is more than capable to shelter mcjesus for about a season. As drasaitl comes along he can be a perfect 3c with a contract that should be up before the cap crunch comes a'howlin.
How for the harder sell, rnh to us. 30+40 probable center. Exciting to watch, gives this team the best realistic top 6 possible. Our d remains very good so long as dumba does well and brodin takes a bit longer for offense.edm should add a second or add something else useful but the core of the deal is more important. A measly 2nd doesn't really matter for either team in this deal.
I'll again say that a brodin for rnh deal is best addressed next off-season, but I'm down with impatience too.
I think that team is far more likely to win a cup than anything else we assemble. There's a good chance brodin ends up as the best player in the end, but who gives a **** if we win a cup.
I had more, **** you mobile for deleting it.
Edot: more or less same argument to something around brodin for cutoure, who may or may not be a more sensible target than rnh.
