Tanev is much better than his stats suggest.

We have no real shot at him

If he can get rid of 2 d-men i will call it a success, let alone add a top 4 guy
- Sabresfan-365


Well there's an easy way to get rid of Gorges
We're probably stuck w Bogo though
If Vegas is taking a bad contract from us,
I'd actually rather it be Moulson

I dont think Kane gets even one of them tbh. less about his performance or character more about that they're a budget team and kane is a year away from UFA.

Does it have a variable that you define in a way that best supports your predetermined conclusion?

i cant see how thats possible given that the whole reason we use it is to come up with some sort of conclusion.

Except for broads though, cause hes racist. blinders going into it.

If it's Reinhart or Nylander involved maybe that works

may not have to go that far. Most of their expansion draft problems stem from the fact that they have to protect bieksa.

If you could work a deal and convince him to waive they might do something around 8th overall. Would allow them to keep silfverberg.

Ducks aren't trading Montour anyways
He's one of the guys they don't have to protect

And they might want a forward back they won't have to protect
Otherwise they expose Cogliano
Although they'd probably rather lose him than a defenseman

Reinhart- Nylander for Montour-Manson they don't have to protect either forward, hopefully Tippett falls and the Nylander thing is a wash

Even if they buy out Bieksa...

Forwards w/ NMC- Getzlaf, Perry, Kesler

So if they protect 4 defensemen-
Lindholm, Fowler, Vatanen, Manson

They can only protect 1 more forward,
and that would leave either Rakell of Silfverberg exposed

So they'd still need to trade either a defenseman or one of those 2 forwards who I'm sure they'd wanna keep

With Montour & Theodore ready,
seems like they'd just trade a defenseman

That would work for them
Idk of they'd wanna move 2 defensemen though?

That's also a lot we are giving up
I'd hope we can get them to throw in their late 1st in that deal

They wouldn't protect four in that scenario. I still think they move fowler. hes going to want a raise and theyve got other d-men coming

Don't think Antipin belongs there... he's not playing a ton for Russia right now. And I'm not sure at 175 he is big enough for the physical play in NHL.

They would never leave Rakell exposed. It would be like the Preds leaving Neal exposed, except way worse.

Were you even at those games? I was. 13 rows up. Center ice. Alzner was the best defenseman.

What's the question ? I would rather trade him for a number 1D then waste him on the 3rd line When you can sign a person for 1m or 2
