This is what he does. He's really good at building from nothing, but he holds on to the same pieces for too long and once things start falling apart he tries to trade his way out of it with worse and worse pieces.
- BINGO!

It’s more that he just makes a ton of trades so sometimes he gets lucky.

I agree. Even if JJ was somehow going to be moved, I’d much rather keep Hornqvist.

Unless the only way to unload JJ would be to pair him with Dumo in a trade.

- drummer829


Nah. I’m cool with this trade if JJ is off the roster. I will then approve of it then. But until I see it, there’s no reason to be giddy.

So is it a given that JR is going to throw a draft pick/prospect to have Matheson taken by the Kracken in a year?

The issue is that johnson could had been replaced by a much cheaper option either from the farm system or free agency. No need to take on a terrible contract for hornqvist when his contract is much shorter and he actually has some sort of use

Matheson is our second highest paid defenseman and has the longest contract on the team. His contract will expire right around when Malkin turns 40. They better be right about this.

Trust me. I agree 100% but either way the on-ice product should still be better with the team plus Matheson minus JJ.

Exactly, we didn't need a JJ replacement. We had a couple of those. I think the plan is to play Matheson with Marino and hope he starts pushing play and creating offense while Marino covers for him.

Pettersson is likely gone. Some people likely are fine, but it can and probably will get much worse.

You guys are abysmal. None of you have any real idea about the “value” of any of these players. Ryan Wilson least of all. The Dallas Stars are one of the last two teams standing right now. I bet you guys could find something wrong with every player and every contract on that team. Either wrap the rope around your neck and jump or shutup. I’d sooner shoot your high horses and make a fine meal out of them than join you.

The other thing is that Florida is one of the teams that could have absorbed all of Horny's contract without sending any salary back (or very little such as just Sceviour). If they were really interested in Horny, did JR explore this option? I would have rather done that, sending them a 3rd or lower draft pick / prospect if you think Horny has negative trade value.

Interestingly, Horny, at 33, is the oldest Panther forward by 5 years!

And Rossi believes Dumoulin is the next guy out the door.
- BINGO!


Where did you hear this by the way? Was he on Madden?

The only rebuttal’s I got were sarcasm and the old “ leave if you don’t like it”. That’s better than you all just admitting your nobody paper pushers that couldn’t dream of making a trade in the nhl.

Especially when they're paired together after Dumo is traded.

He was and did and also said it in the Athletic. However he made it a point to say it was just a hunch he had and he had no sources telling him this. Is logic was Dumoulin would vet the best return and be the biggest change GMJR might make. Decide what you will about that logic.

He didn't say what condition his shorts would be in. You never know, he might get so excited that JJ is gone that he soils himself.

I’m not a fan of jr or sully anymore but it will be interesting to see the next domino. I could see dumo and petts going.
