It does, but I think JB has the patience and discipline to use that pick wisely, and not squander it at the deadline. I don't see him renting....at least not at that cost.

I pointed out in a previous blog that it doesn’t need to be a “rental” though.

The trade with McDonagh and JT Miller to Tampa
The Brassard trade

Both trades netted cup contending teams players who will be on those teams for a minimum of 2-3 years

Ironic part is now would be the time for an Evander Kane type trade

If it's a deadline hockey trade for a guy with term, that's completely different. Those deals aren't frequent though.

A Kane-like deal for an expiring contract? I don't see it.

I think he meant making a trade to acquire that kind of player

Oh, ya, maybe he did mean the initial Kane trade. That would work.

I'd trade Ullmark for the right return

pretty sure Hutton can hold his own for 65 games a year

They have solid goaltending at $3.5M a year. Why make a change?

The same reason anyone upgrades any position ever, to get better?

You are ridiculous

Sam has 2 goals and is a complete p*shy

Why do you keep defending him randomly?


He is not putting up 60 points like you expected
He didn't sign a 8 x 8 deal


He will ride eichels coattails and you will keep bragging about how great he is.

Makes no sense


Glad 23 has shown some determination and emotion lately. Hardly anything to keep bringing up.

Really? I’m not a huge Hutton fan (he’s an average starter, above avg backup)

But I wanna see Ullmark more. Also UPL might be something in 2 years.

I’d be going for a 2/3 D man.

We might have the most cost effective tandem in the NHL right now. Plus we'd be a Hutton injury away from Adam Wilcox as the starter. That's a pass from me

I think UPL could be the truth baby ruth but he may be leaned upon for "window #2" if that makes sense.

Above average goaltending would take the pressure off the team as a whole. Doesn't have to a massive trade for some guy carrying a 7 mil cap hit. An Andersen like trade would do.

Goaltending is the last position to worry about addressing via a trade with this team.

I don't disagree. But if the opportunity presented itself i would not say no.

I knew I would catch a fish

kid is second in points this season for players picked in the top 14 in the draft

fact, but try to dismiss it

I swear some of you are easier then broke single 200 lb women at 2 am on a saturday night

Flames offer Giordano and Bennett for Risto, Girgens and Ullmark, you would turn that down?


If Hutton went down, Jonas Johansson would probably get the call up

dude c'mon, Reinhart's solid but you picked this bar just to make him look better.

Larkin, Pastrnak, Kapanen, Tuch before his nasty injury and lets face it, if he were playing, Willy Nylander. These are all first round picks. Just include them

Oh hell yeah I'm turning that down.

A 35 year old d man making $7m a year, and a 4th line grinder?

That's a no for me

This coaching staff/GM has to see something in Thompson.
