If 2C's were snakes, Botterill would be St. Patrick.

Look, the last thing any of us want is for them to peak too early. They need to be hitting their stride the beginning of April. If it's too late to make the playoffs at that point, so be it. They start playing their best hockey in February and March, they would burn out in the 1st round any way. They'll bring plenty of momentum into next season by ending on a high note.

"On Tuesday, Botterill told my friends Andrew Peters and Craig Rivet that when the time is right for himself and a trading partner a deal will be done."

And is 49 games really enough of a sample size to accurately determine what kind of season is happening here?

I wonder the cost.

He’s a RW (??)

Hertl would fit the need..

Our 1st this year is the starter maybe Mitts also, there also may be some subtracting to make some additions. Miller is not a happy camper and wants to stay but there is no reason to let him sit and can't understand why they let him sit. Miller won't pull a Bogo and complain publicly.

Any idea what’d it cost. And if capfriendly is correct... he’s a wing. So blow the assets you have on a wing and still don’t have a center to play him with?

Would love to keep our 1st this year somehow. Meir would be a big get. Mitts and Risto might be a little extra value going their way but Meir would look great in our lineup.

I still prob rather use resources for a Center though

A 1st is part of it not Risto. They have enough Defense .

Just think subtraction by addition.

I’ll always take young talent. I realize none of this happens in a vacuum and if you can get the rw now, we’ll ya gotta do it. I’d like to think he has a plan.

Wonder if the sharks would consider a lotto protected 1st (top 3 pick) this year... unprotected next if that’s triggered. And I’d be fine sending mitz....

The question then becomes what assets are left to get a 2c?

I'd do a top-3 protected 2020 1st plus $1m retained on Okposo and Mittelstadt for Meier. If they want that premium 1st, pay up. Throw in Tage against the machine
