I mean, I knew this season was going to be bad, but not this bad. And you can't even blame Vinny or MacDonald!

To be fair Macdonald should be playing. There is no reason Manning should be on this roster

i think mac donald will be back up next year once hexy clears some cap space

Sorry, I can't trade BSchenn to "buy time" for other guys. If that were the case I'd need that pick to be a 1st and that prospect to be pretty damn solid. I can't see it.
- hereticpride

The top 9 forward would be the component that would be for buying time. The prospect and draft pick would be the value component for the future.

Because you aren't getting the same quality for 3 pieces when you're trading one.

You feel okay bringing in a 3rd liner lesser than Schenn, prospect lesser than Schenn and a 2nd or 3rd?
- hereticpride

How do you know what quality Hextall would accept? Do you think he's going to give him away? The top 9 forward is just likely a throw in for added depth, and is the lesser component in the deal.

If they're getting three assets for Schenn none are likely be be high-end. Personally if they don't get at least one Top 6 forward out of the trade I'd say it would be a mistake. Risk is ok, meaning taking a prospect for a proven forward like Schenn. But they need high upside. This team already has plenty of prospects that top out as 3rd/4th liners.

This is eloquently worded.

Some more fun facts. Giroux is a monster on the dot.

it's only fun if we're winning games

We won the last one.

Can't schenn be a top 6 forward? we're trading something we need? or are we trading him for reasons outside the ice?

We won the last one.

I thought you'd be happier now Coburn's gone.

Top 9 forward: Alex Burmistrov
Prospect: Jimmy Lodge
1st Round pick


So people would turn that down?

No. I'd gladly do that, even though I know nothing about Lodge.

I know approximately what Schenn's value is and its not a top 9 forward, 1st, and high end prsopect I can tell you that. Schenn is not 2010 Mike Richards.

If Hexy wants three pieces teams are going to offer three pieces of middling value. I'd rather have one player or one pick tbh.

Why do people act like Medvedev is better than Gudas or Schultz or Manning? I just don't get it.



Now I remember. Russian National Team top 4.

I don't think you're getting a 1st for BSchenn if you're getting two other pieces. That's my whole issue with this thing.

I'd much rather a lotto protected 1st and Barbashev or Colin White straight up.

Just to be clear, we're not talking Colin White, the former NJ Devil, right?

Thank god

How about that Jordie Benn to Jamie Benn pass for a SHG against Ottawa last night? That goal was so sexy. Double Bennatration

I think barbashev or white straight up is fair
- Just5

I don't think Barbashev is all that great, having never seen him play a game.

I don't feel like back reading. Is this a Schenn trade proposal?
