But you can't trade everyone either, you need a good mix of vet and youngster

Oddly enough its Petry I would trade, I think goal scoring is hard to find, I would keep Tatar

Fully open to trade Lekh, Byron Thompson...

So ya not important I know, so the big move is trading Petry for a very good young D ( since we are not winning in the next 2 years )

Then maybe in June group picks and a winger for either a better pick or another D
- Xizord

Byron is a salary dump at this point

Tatar is definitely not the problem but what he could bring back could be a big part of the solution down the road
- obie

well if the return is stupid ( like when Detroit traded him) then by all means go ahead

Same answer goes for Weber

- obie

Then keep him and hope he jumps back next year, sad I liked him before

Tatar first, then Petry, then Chiarot and Weber and finally Price

Allow him to build his value back up and deal him

Asking price for Kovalchuk should be a first round pick... I wouldn’t settle for anything less.

Based on people I've spoken to, expectation is he'll fetch a second. But they have to be insane not to ask for a first. There could be multiple teams after him, and most of them are cap-strapped and he costs nothing.

Those guys are really smoking some good stuff....

Primeau sent back to Laval.

I'd rather get a D prospect picked in the 2nd round of the last 3 draft instead of a pick

so you think he's not even fetching a 2nd? Don't forget, other GMs sometimes smoke really good stuff too loll...

Not sure he can fetch a 2nd but asking a 1st is pure (frank)ing lunacy.

If there's a lot of interest for him, doesn't hurt to ask.

Not one that's ready to jump right in but why are you so worried about who's gonna take Petry's minutes? You afraid they might finish 29th instead of 26th?
- obie

I can't recall a team being successful in developping young talent in a loosing envrionnment. I really believe that Romanov would develop better paired with a vet like Petry instead of the great #77 Brett the great Kulak...couldn't care less between 26th and 29th it just about developping properly. I thought everybody learned from Edmonton.

- BashCH

well it won't happen unless you ask for it, so you lower the bar once it's been confirmed no GM wants to go ahead with a 1st...

well if the return is stupid ( like when Detroit traded him) then by all means go ahead

Same answer goes for Weber
- Xizord

Same answer goes for pretty much everybody

Sure, if you don't mind getting laughed at.

Depends.

Tampas 1st? That's likely a 25th-30th pick.

More chances at landing a gem in the 3rd round than late first IMO.

David Pasternak is the only great late 1st round pick of the last 10 years I think

You do know those 3rd round gems are still available in theate 1st right?

Kuznetsov is not too bad

- Takemedrunkimhome

And Tampa will lose in the 1st round so their pick will be better than that.

- DoubleDown

Less than none actually... is that possible?

Shea Theodore, ANthony Beauvillier...there are a couple of good ones.

Sure, if you don't mind getting laughed at.
- BashCH

I don't. But then again, I'm not the one asking. It's part of the negotiations. A handful of teams offer their 2nd. You tell them, other teams also offered a 2nd, so make it a first and he's yours today.

Yup they're not too bad either
