Holl and Gauthier are on league minimum contracts through next year. IMO when you're talking about the bottom of the depth chart you prioritize long-term over short-term. It's not like these guys are the secret to winning the cup this year. Goat for sure because we need C depth for injuries whereas we have third pairing D in spades (even if they have to play on their off side in a pinch). Plus he's still under 24 and his play this season was a bit of a coming out party. Holl is harder to gauge because it seems pretty clear that Babcock has a strong preference for Marincin.
I think if the return is there you trade Ennis. He's probably done the most to earn a spot but he was always a project destined to move on either by the trade deadline or in the summer. If you're not getting the return you want then you waive Marincin (or trade him for whatever scraps are being offered).
Oddest player that has least amout of potential F or D. So then i would say Ennis as my out there choice. Trades possible but they wont do a throw away trade either. Probably like a 7th for the player they would have waved regardless
Because you never trade RH defense who have potential in the NHL. It is a big NO NO. 4th line wingers can be found everywhere. Every team has a lot of them.
Agreed. I think Ennis goes for a 4th or 5th before SaturdayOther: No one.
A small trade will occur.
