Reading article on the Athletic written by collection of "Beat Reporters" for NHL Teams about their top wish for the respective team. The following are those who need a scoring winger aand/or PP help:
-Calgary, also needs to be solid on PP
-Dallas, specified RW
-Florida, needs an improved PP
-Minnesota, general more scoring
-Nashville, Power Play improvement.
-Seattle, Power Play improvement.
-Winnipeg, 1st, 2nd, 3rd RW all missing time from injuries (short term need though)

Come on Kevyyyy, use the Trade Pause to work out the parameters of a deal...6 teams in need.

Stay safe buzzerds, I watched your local news weather guy, his message to prepare made me think of the old blizzard of 77 board game....go get your food, gas, and meds before someone picks the Blizzard card and the board gets flipped over

Would be my target. Package Olo (50%) and a 2nd.

Would you take Dumba for a reasonable package (not sure what it would cost, maybe Joker ' Olo + ?)

What on God's green earth is going on down there. I get the push to be a more responsible, better 2 way team but man they are running the risk of falling out of the race...closer to 8th in Atlantic than 3rd.

Barkov is not healthy. He was insanely good last season. That guy ain't playing right now.

Dumba $6m, 2nd Pair, 28, 3/6/9

Olo 50% = $2.375m, RW PP specialist, 26, 13/5/18
Joker, $2.5m, 2nd/3rd tweener, 23, 1/3/4
Combined, $4.875m RW +RhD, 14/8/22

I just wonder if Dumba would be a good fit for Power?
Thoughts?

A lot going on. Cap crunch leading to playing short a man several games this year when someone (another one) goes down injured. Cap crunch leads to E Staal being on the roster, the injuries (and Maurice’s boner for E Staal) leads him to play more than he should be. Barkov has been fighting illness (pneumonia) and now a knee injury, and outside the rink is involved in babymama drama, custody/visitation arrangements. Barkov isn’t himself so far this year. Ekblad isn’t really there, I wonder if he was all bent because of who they traded last summer, and then he got hurt and not really up to par since returning, yet. Goalies are hit or miss from night to night. They make every other teams’ goalies look like a Hasek, their scoring touch is missing this year, so far.

Behind the bench is Maurice talking about advanced stats and metrics

Are you trading a cost controlled played in Jokiharju for a pending UFA in Dumba?

He'll be 29 this summer. Are you extending him?

Is trading for Dumba contingent on him signing an extension?
