If u play him on line2,
then he’s extremely low end in that role

Why would u wanna give up a 1st for that?
Sorry dude
Makes no sense to me

And I’m guessing it makes no sense to anyone else here either
Bc if it did,
there’s plenty that would jump to your defense over me

Coyle would be a good 3rd liner
But u using a 1st round pick to acquire that is terrible asset management

We didn’t even give up a 1st for Skinner
Sure, that’s probably an exception
But it’s better to make no trade than to make a bad one

It's a 1st for a 3rd

25th for 80th (my math earlier was terrible)

I get it
It’s still horrible
If u wanna acquire a guy like that,
you do so without giving up a 1st
OR
You simply don’t do the deal

In that case,
we’d role with E Rod at 3C
I know you said you’d like him even more at 4C, but he isn’t suited for a 70% defensive zone start role

E Rod at 3C + keeping the 1st >>>>>>>
Coyle & a 3rd
*plus we dump Nylander in your scenario

Not even close

Tampa would make mince meat out of us in the first round of the playoffs.

I have 0 faith in the SJS 1st pick to be worth much. Maybe a 3rd/4th line grinder at that spot. In 3 years

We might even get an Armia, Pysyk or Ennis at that spot

JB was a 20th pick. You never know what you're going to get.

Any of those would be fine compliments to a good roster.

I’d love to land an Ennis+Connor+Girgensons with our three picks.

One stud, one decent player, one role player.

All cheap

Nylander has 8 points in his last 9... No PP time and on a line with Kadri

Would allow you to add a big time player in FA as well. So realistically it could bea Stone/Duchene/E.Karlsson big purchase plus Ennis, Connor, Girgensons.

If you just want to make the playoffs, trade picks for proven players and overpay for UFA's.

If you want to contend, then you need to draft/develop several top6/top4 players. No shortcuts.

Dahlin is on pace for 46 points and a +8. At 18 years old, on a team that gives up more goals than they get. I hope we never take him for granted. Amazing, he'll be the next lidstrom.

Sobotka likes this team and the direction it's going in, I was told. I was not excited when told.
