Voracek, Nash, Johansen all were core guys.And then he and Torts didn't get along and Saad stagnated. I don't recall Jarmo mentioning him by name as part of the core the year after we got him.

1. They won, therefore it's a model of success.
2. Isn't "goalie catching fire" one of the oft-stated prerequisites for any team winning the cup?
3. I remember watching the finals last year and thinking that Binnington wasn't even playing well.
4. Just looking at how his numbers compare, Binnington's .914 in the playoffs was the lowest sv% of a cup winning goalie since Quick in 2014.
Jarmo emphasized again that Werenski was part of our core going forward. I don't think he's going anywhere.

Voracek was traded for (what appeared to be) a #1 C, Nash requested out and we were going to kick off a rebuild, Johansen was scapegoated and traded for another core guy. I don’t understand your point. If Werenski gets traded it will be in similar fashion to Voracek, where we get a no doubt upgrade. I don’t see this happening and I don’t think it’s something we’re exploring.
Absolutely, but I think saying "Werenski isn't going anywhere" or something like that is maybe being read as opposition to trading for an upgrade.
Is anyone arguing for trading Werenski for a non-upgrade? I'm not sure if there is much disagreement on this board about what to do.
You said Werenski isn’t going anywhere bc Jarmo said he was part of our core. I’m saying that means nothing. I gave you multiple examples above. That is my point.Voracek was traded for (what appeared to be) a #1 C, Nash requested out and we were going to kick off a rebuild, Johansen was scapegoated and traded for another core guy.
