FYI,
I was neither advocating trading Nolan Patrick, nor declaring him a bust
I think he will be a very good player. He could be a great player if he can become consistent with his intensity level. He's conscientious defensively and can shoot the puck. He needs to trust his shooting ability a bit more. In the offensive zone, he needs to approach puck battles and driving/getting to the greasy areas the same way Bryan Mills appoaches searching for his daughter (Taken reference).
As far as the "right deal", I am spitballing something like Tampa having cap issues and deciding to part with Point, with Patrick being the primary chip, not just a chip. Unlikely, but you never know.

- GeorgeBailey


When teams have cap issues, they don't trade players like Point.

I know everyone likes to focus on the flashy names but how about Tyler Myers as a UFA? I feel like our back end is really lacking in size and Morin isn't going to suddenly fix that alone.

I think it's clear that Provorov and Sanheim have the talent to develop into true top pairing defenseman. Gostisbehere doesn't have the defensive chops but when he's on his game he's really good offensively and at 5 on 5 play. Small sample for Myers but he has obvious high level physical tools.

Someone like Anton Stralman at the right price and term.

- MJL

I am not sure it is clear but it is very possible.

stralman is an interesting option. What do you think he commands as a free agent?

Would you overpay a little for say a 2 year deal?

I think he is overrated and is going to be overpaid.

Their talent is clear to me. A little yes, not a lot.

Who scores the first goal of the game?

Who gets more points tonight—Patrick Kane or Claude Giroux?

Hart over/under for 34 saves?

We already have Myers, Sanheim, Gudas, Hagg and Morin, not sure how that is lacking in size.

apparently Raffl did not make the trip so Bailey is in

Was Raffl a healthy scratch or just a flue victim ?

Looks like Sanheim studied at the Andrew MacDonald school of defense. Way to step up and challenge.

Laughton can’t turn it over. Myers could have tried to chip it out but he passes to the back of the net.

Screw getting it out, Im sick of watching a CHL team level team defence. It is ridiculous how easy teams get us running around lost. NJ of all the poop teams did the same thing to us
