After this one, it is pretty clear we are done.
Realistically (i.e, not "the whole ********* team") Who is on your trade block?

quiet shoutout to ERod, i think hes decentNot the whole team?
Okay. Everyone but Skinner, Eichel, Reinhart, Mittelstadt, Dahlin. That's it.
I believe it has been whispered that they're shopping Pominville? I can't imagine a team being interested though. He's so, so smart, but his skills have eroded to a degree where he's really no help.
I would be trying to dump Sobotka too, but nobody is going to fall for that.
Otherwise, there's not much to sell, and we certainly shouldn't add any rentals. Dial a few teams about some long term trades, but don't expect anything to materialize right now. We should have addressed the roster issues BEFORE the obviously-terrible-player we used as our 2C for months decided to put up 42 straight awful, goal-less games.
I know I saw it on a tweet. That should have been a sign that it definitely wasn't true.Just the opposite about Poms - they have not asked for his no trade list.
Trading Tage would be a horrible move because he has virtually no value at this point unless it's for another failing prospect from some other organization. Have to keep him and hope he amounts to something at this point.Id trade Sheary, Scandella, Sobotka, Thompson
And depending on return...Risto

The question is so much as about what we saw last night as it is the realization that the playoffs aren't likely in our future after the home stand and this easy one.Meh ... one game like that doesn’t move the needle for me. Whoever was “tradeable” before this game, is “tradeable” after this game too. The list didn’t change

Girgs
I agree with what he brings and I like Girgs but he brings absolutely zero offensive game and we have too many passengers. Upgrade the entire bottom 6. Larry holds the 4C for one more season then I hope Asplund is ready after 1.5 seasons in the AHL. We need younger, faster.Why tho? He's not massively overpaid and is actually a good PKer/4th liner with Larry,i think they should be locked in for life.
But 4th liners' job is to not allow goals against and just spend as much time in offensive zone as possible,so when the 1st line comes in they have all the momentum and can capitalize. Noone should be expecting any offensive production from 4th line.Ever. Am i wrong?I agree with what he brings and I like Girgs but he brings absolutely zero offensive game and we have too many passengers....

Look, I don’t want to dump on Girgs but he doesn’t have very high hockey IQ and the puck dies on his stick. He does work his butt off and the whole line has moments of fantastic cycling of the puck but it’s just not good enough.Girgs isn't a passenger, he's just not a scorer. He's an excellent role player, as is Larsson. I don't see how our middle 2 lines sucking is a reason to disassemble a very good 4th line.
