Winnik's an elite 4th liner an PKer IMO.
You guys shouldn't sell him too short, if you are. He is an amazing piece to have on the 4th line. Possession monster, real good on the cycle, and can play well positioning wise and puck retrieval in the d-zone. He just has literally zero finish and little other offensive acumen.
Could you guys fill me in on Carrick? Haven't seen much of him although he got some hype in the past IIRC.

Sweet, so basically cut the burden in half compared with Laich. And maybe improved that position to boot.
Carrick's a decent puck-moving defenseman, right-handed, had some nice moments with the Caps but didn't have a future.
The Leafs got a nice package for taking Laich.

Awesome. He and Richards should be best friends.
Carrick: Offensive-minded, great set of hands, great skater.

Happy now?
So long Brooks. You were a good soldier who took way too much undeserved abuse.
Now go out and get Hanzal, GMBM.

So nice to have a good GM and a solid move. Good luck Laich, not everyone here hated you. I hope you get a cup someday.

Agreed. Laich out was the priority.
Still have their 1st and prospects to trade or late round picks. But yeah, only a serious impact player or a benchwarmer, not much to spend on something in between.

no the steep price would have been the first rounder or one of our top prospects that nearly all of us thought we would have to trade to get rid of laich

I'm not sure which team you've been watching, but Winnik has absolutely fallen off this year, not nearly as effective he was last year. Though obviously losing Laich is the biggest part of this trade for you guys, maybe Winnik refinds his game since he is actually playing for something now.

Attaboy GMBM. I knew you had it in you.
That helps this team in so many ways. Get another real bottom 6 forward for depth, and off we go.

It's tough to play for a team that is spinning its wheels and is obviously tanking now.
I'm sure Winnik will regain his form with the Caps.

Wasn't difficult to predict Carrick being moved. Carlson, Niskanen, and Orlov ahead of him with Bowey soon to pass him from behind in the organizational depth chart. Attractive skill set and approaching a point in his development where he's better off in the NHL.
I like his poise, skill, and moxie.
