it just seems to me botts won't make a move till the deadline. In fact league wide you won't see much done, too many teams bunched up in the standings and will ride it out for a while.

use Mitts (still young some GM will think they can fix him) and first round pick to get your #2 Center. That is a lot but this team needs out weight the cost right now.

Could you imagine if we had a competent #2 center, we would actually have 2 scoring lines and back that up with the LOG line (that is playing extremely and surprisingly well this year)

First round draft picks are a crap shoot unless they are top 1-5 players, after that you just never know what you are going to get. use that Bottcoin to get a center...

Yup, can't waste a hart-caliber season from Eichel. Pay up for a guy

I would over pay for the right young #2 center at this point.

y'all make it sound as if this will be jack's only hart-worthy season...I happen to think this is just the beginning

oh no, i think it is just the beginning of about 4-6 years of dominance from Jack and that is my point, you can't wait any longer. You need to move now, once players get to around 30 that's typically it, their production starts to dip. We have a window here. lets take advantage of it. Now would of been a great time to get ROR and Kane. Murray was 4 years too early.

Me too. But i still don't want management to squander this one
