More please if Tuch is the center piece. Prefer Marchessault.

I just looked it up. It was Matt Larkin

I agree. Marchessault would be nice. Tuch isn’t a terrible number 2.

I'm surprised we haven't done a small trade for a 3rd round pick or something

2)Tuch
3)Trocheck
4)Karlson
5)Strom
6)Domi
7)Gradeau
8)Cirelli

I just saw that the 1980 Miracle team was at Trump's Las Vegas speech this week. He couldn't say Eruzione, tried, just called him Mike, thought he was a goalie. Happy that Mike Ramsey didn't wear a MAGA hat like some. Only about 10 or so went to the speech.

Anyway, back to our regularly scheduled trade talk.

Funny when multiple teams are interested in Tyson Barrie but no one wants Risto

Look all you need to know is that he's trying. No one tries as hard as he does. It would be impossible for him to try any harder

Last time I checked he wasn’t a 2nd overall pick, which promoted my original reply to Hubie

Right, that's my bad, I hadn't gone to bed yet and read it wrong.

The tryingest GM in history. No GM has ever tried this hard. Anyone saying otherwise is a hater and a loser.

Botts is sort of in a tight spot. Other GMs know he has a flawed asset and a grumpy fanbase.

Even though it might make the team better in the long term, he may feel he can't afford the optics of trading Risto for a 3rd (or 2nd or whatever), a B prospect, and a big, money-evening cap dump.

Standing pat at the deadline, except for a 4th coming back (Larsson, Vesey etc), could be the most probable outcome.
