Johnny Gaudreau for Ristolainen, Dylan Cozens and a 2020 1st
- DEDDIE

I would do that ..... or mitts over cozens

Bogo for Galchenyuk makes the most sense. Similar contracts. Both players that need to be traded and both could be upgrades to what the other team currently has at their respective positions. If it doesn't work out for either team, contract is done at seasons end.

Yes I mentioned that before. Gally could suck but I can 100% guarantee he is better than e rod

- Sabretooth9

That would be a firm no for me. Johnny Hockey is great, but are you willing to give up that much for a LW?

Whats the absolute worst outcome of this trade? You put him in the press box?

sam has fallen into the "suck sisters" approach of ice-floating the last two games...Okposo has been playing with a ton of conviction
- Michael Pachla

Uh, if I was making 6 mil to play on the 4th line I'd be playin my ass off too. He's the highest paid 4th liner in the NHL.

Boston is in the position to do so.... we are not
They can draft quality player we can not

but its not to see jumping the quality teams to try to make your point.

If your goign to use ROR
how did it work out for the Blue to send 2 picks 2 players and a prospect To land a top 6 center?

Oh and also the bruins make trades around the core ... they dont need to make trades so they have a core

oh and since 2015 they dealt a 1st once for Rick Nash and before that was 2011

So does trading a first help or not? That's all I'm asking. You said that we should trade one and won't contend until we do, but then that we aren't in the place to do so. I haven't had caffeine yet, so if I'm missing it forgive me.

IN order to get a top six talent absolutely it would need to be involved.
The whole argument on the 1st is protected or unprotected.

Also in order to not use this years 1 you would need to over value what would be 1 value.
Like in the mind set cozens =1st and so on

Yeah, bench gally and let his contract expire at the end of the year. Not a big deal

He’s an elite talent. I would definitely do it. Those don’t grow on trees

Yeah, bench gally and let his contract expire at the end of the year. Not a big deal
- Sabretooth9

And what if he becomes Anthony Duclair? I dont see a big negative also not to mention he can play all 3 positions so teh team can be fresh which Ralph seems to like to do

i agree that seems like a reasonable trade.. i just think the pens are going to hope for more out of him because he is younger and still has "potential"

Reasonable yes
But the Pens have no need to rush to make a move as bad as they have played theyre tired for 3rd in the div

I wouldn’t move the 2020 first rounder cause it’s a deep draft.
- Pegullaville

if I had $1000 for every time I heard that, I'd have multiple homes


how many times in the last 15 years were these deep drafts really deep?

short answer and long answer are the same, excuses by gm's of losing franchises

Olofsson and his 41 nhl games is now worth more in a trade, a lot more

I wish I could hop in my Dolerian crank it up to 88 back to 2003 and see what was actually said about that draft
11 of those 1st round picks were traded (yes the 1 & 3 FLower trade is two)
also talk about a bad trade lol

just go back to 2014 and tell Murray to draft Leon

I would do that ..... or mitts over cozens
- Sabretooth9

Mitts

That mistake ruined this franchise for decades to come.

But then we still wouldnt have a 2 C

Go back to 77 and Draft Mike Bossy and John Tonelli instead of Ric Seiling and Ron Areshenkoff.............

Offer the Rangers your last first round pick Cozens and your next first round pick sign Kreider for the next 6 7 years. Stop killing Jack with not enough help scoring goals! Time is now boys!

Cozens is an untouchable at this point.

Kreider ? what are you smoking.

I guess in my dolerian trip Kreider became a center and worth more than Hall. What did I do

Kreider would be a great LW for our third line
