Every center that has been named in this board sucks and is old

Gallycheck - no

Adam Henrique- no

Boino - no.

If someone named Mcdavid ..... I’m assuming it wouldn’t be good enough

- Sabretooth9

I listed Hertl, Zibanejad, Larkin, Trocheck and Kadri and I would trade Mittelstadt and a 1st for any one of them at this point except maybe Kadri.

Henrique, Haula, Galchenyuck, Bonino, all lateral moves except maybe Henrique because he is a legit 2-way forward and we might be able to send a bad contract their way.

I don't know what everyone expects, unless we are giving up are 1st this year we are not getting that true 2C, and unless it's Larkin or someone of that caliber, I don't want Botts to use it. For what we have 2 trade, some of the players that have been named are probably about what we get.

I would take everyone but zibs. The mitts for a 1st

All of the players are named a good 2Cs.

Yeah, he would be my choice. Don't think they will move him. But that is 1 position there system is strong in, they have some good one's coming up. Plus they could have a shot at Byfield.

Mozart was not better than Beethoven. But neither were as good as Bach.

Do you like this trade possibility?
- IonSabres

I don't no, make a move that is a difference maker or don't do anything.

What realistic centers would like? You have said no to all that have been mentioned.

Mcdavid for McCabe bogo and 65 1sr round picks enough?? (Some sarcasm obviously)

Henrique would fit in perfectly here, that contract though makes we want to throw up.

I guess it would depend on what they would ultimately want in return.

23 YO 75 pt C signed to reasonable $6.1m cap hit for 3 more years.
Gonna cost you.

Do you do it if it is say, Jokiharju, Mitts and 2021 1st?

They are on track for anyone they want, but I agree with your point that they can replace Larkin quickly.

I see Larkin and zibs as a great 2 center and a poor mans 1C.

Tears - all day everyday about Botterill.

You probably do not care :
But your constant crying day in and day out is ruining it for some of us.

Grow up , get over it.

Sorry for the absence folks, work and school are hard, should have something up soon.


Also, if you're interested in some info on Henrique, I listed him as a potential option in an article i wrote before starting here.

As someone else mentioned, Anaheim do operate with an internal cap and there is an opportunity to send Okposo the other way since his actual salary in the last two years of his deal drops to 4 mil. Anaheim could potentially save 9+ mil

here:

If I'm ranking ideas being thrown around here:

1. Bonino
2. Haula
3. Galchenyuk
4. A fart in the wind
5. Bjugstad

All low cost, in season trade ideas for players that can fill in at center. I have my doubts with 3 and 5, and 4 may be better than both.

My true target will always be Trocheck, but if the Panthers are winning, they won't let him go in season.

- TheSabresTaco


Depending on the cost,
I completely agree with your rankings

I’d do Asplund, Okposo, 2nd rounder for Henrique.
