A top 4 young defensemen on a great contract
A former 2nd overall pick who should be a 50 point player who is still cost controlled by the team
and last years 8th overall pick

For a guy who is maybe a 60 point guy

NOPE NOPE NOPE

No

You're losing a top 4 D on a great contract and a top 6 winger still on his ELC and will be a RFA for what? maybe 15 more points than you'll get with Sam with a $6 million cap hit?

That is awful asset management IMO.

Duchene is headed into his 4th season since his 70 point year...

He is a 60-65 point player at this point even with Jack

I have Sam in the 50-55 point range this year

Duchene is overrated and will be 27 in 6 months. He's not worth any of that let alone all 3 lol

Agreed. I'd go after Athanasiou. Cheaper and just as good of a fit. Idk how available he is but I would offer Holland girgs and a 2nd, and if he said no, offer sheet him up to 3.9 mil which is a second

Put him on Eichel's wing and it would be fun but the most I'd offer is a 1st and B prospect or maybe McCabe straight up. Maybe

I wouldn't go that far but I would be careful with bringing on a $6 million cap hit when you have guys under good contracts now...

If you think about it the 2018-2019 Season:

Sam-$5 million
McCabe-$1.6 million
Nylander->$900K

$7.5 million

or

Duchene $6 million

Yeah pass again

Honestly hope you guys don't trade Hanifin for Duchene. Talk about getting the shaft

1st and one of Bailey/Baptiste

That's it for me at this point.

Only way I would trade McCabe is if I am moving Sam for a defensemen

Francis has said repeatedly that he's not interested in trading any of our top 7 defensemen for a guy with only 2 years left on his contract.
