It is still too early but I do not think they trade anything till they figure out the tender situation.

Not sure Pitsburgh has anything to trade us we may need.

I assume you're thinking we trade them Stone. That said, there's not amlot Pittsburgh has that we need. I guess we could probably get a 2nd rounder but that would be about it.

If Stone wasn't hot garbage this year Id agree. Probably looking at a 3rd. Which is what we paid for him anyway.

We shouldn’t be trading a D man. We’re one more injury away from needing one more.

Yup. Something tells me Hamonic getting steel plates put in his head didn't help his career long concussion issues either.

Was he concussed as well?
He did come back to finish that game (kudos to him with a broken face)

You say trade stone, Hamonic now but that’s is a huge mistake moving forward is slow,make mistakes and Hamonic looks sometime lost out there’s. BUt that is just how it Is with aging D. but you need to have these vets on your team they are huge for the young guys. defence depth especially in the playoffs are yuge

Is that trade gonna go down as one of those annoying win/win trades?

Ferland is a UFA at the end of the season and Lindholm is signed for six years

Hanifin is also signed long term and...I'm willing to bet the Flames are on the good side of this one

I'm okay with the top 9 at the moment.

Frustrating to pay Neal 5.75 to play third line, but if that third line starts cashing in some points, then it's all gravy.

Having 3 lines that can contribute is a pretty good place to be, and what playoff teams are made of.

Move stone for a third or fourth if possible to free up some cap space. Andersson looks better on the puck than Stone does any day of the week.

Free up cap space for what? We’re not even 10 games in. If we trade Stone and another D gets hurt we would regret it big time.

Way too early in the season to move a dman, but Stone is likely a benchable player once Hamonic returns if the play of these two keeps up.

That's also tough for his market value, hard to ask for anything but cap relief in a trade if you can't put this guy in the top 6.

I think you will start to see some rotation happening. If a rookie has a bad game he can watch the next from the press box. Not a bad thing to break the guys in while still trying to keep some value for a guy like Stone.

One of the thing I liked about last game is that we were able to battle physically.

I know Hathaway will never be an offensive Juggernaut but I like what he does cause chaos on the forcheck.

Add Bennett, Neal, and Tkachuk to the mix and it means the team will not get pushed around as in years passed.

Agreed. the team turned it around when Bennett started hitting and playing in your face
