Ghost of jas
Unsatisfied
I'm going out on a limb and say that if Gorton's plan is to acquire both Trouba and Vatanen, he's got a plan to make sure both are protected in the expansion draft.

I don't think that's the plan
Prob plan is to acquire one of them and if they really feel they want a second top righty guy they'll sign shattenkirk this summer.
You'd be talking 11 12 mil between them though that's no joke. Not sure where that money comes from. Especially if forced to buy out Girardi.
People don't seem to understand this. If we're acquiring even just one of them, they have a plan for one of Girardi/Staal come expansion.
well the issue would be the other guys...they can only protect 3D right? Staal and Girardi have NMCs...they'd need to waive. McD is the captain and our franchise defenseman, cant lose him.
tough.
Slip him a $20 too, while you're asking.
That is good.
Fowler. Vatanen is a better defenseman by a mile. Fowler is one of the most overrated defenseman in the NHL.
possibly.
vatanen or trouba would be a great add, but id obviously prefer trouba.
vatanen may be had because of how much of a jam anaheim is in.
"Damn near ready to make the jump" does nothing for us.
We don't need a third pairing righty D we have 4 of those. We need a top righty D
Not giving miller away for an older more expensive less productive winger so we can get a prospect back no way.
We dealt for Zibanejad because although 23 years old still put up 50 pts and has been in the league on verge of breakout season not breaking into the league. Otherwise brassard would still be here. We weren't dealing him for a prospect
Don't be ridiculous. Of course it does something for us. It gives us a cost-controlled defender who can potentially run the PP and play the 2nd pair. This team isn't building up for a cup run. They have time.
What??
Skeji is just wrong. I just hear the word "Sketchy" in my head every time I see that
When is he gonna "potentially" do that in 2 3 years when hank is 37 38?
They don't have time that is just not accurate. The core is in its prime. They absolutely can take a shot at the cup with this offense and goaltender. They need to fix the right side that's it.
It's absolutely accurate. Building in this mystical "Hank window" is just sensationalism from fans.
This
It's absurd to think we're going to take on salary and get the lesser winger so we can get a defense prospect when our best player is 34 and has like a 2 or 3 year window left to win a Cup with this group.
There's no way we make that trade. Awful for us.
We are all in here we want a vatanen trouba shattenkirk to add to our elite goaltending dynamic offense and very good left D. We get one of those guys and we are off to the races.
We're not trading Stepan that I can promise 100%.
Weren't there some reports during the summer that said TOR was interested in G but the Rangers did not like the offer? THought I saw it somewhere
