Whoa.

I’m saying Myers would go to San Jose in 3 team EK deal. We’re not the team taking EK.

I trust Button when it comes to identifying prospects, not building an NHL playoff team.

I’m starting to thing that the rumours about San Jose/Myers are true. Maybe we’re a 3rd team for that EK trade and Myers is a stop gap replacement for Karlsson.

True. If there were any first round picks, then that’s essentially money to attach to a contract that you also want to move on from. If the goal isn’t to acquire draft picks, then make the trade and flip the picks to acquire what you need. If Miller isn’t getting you a Centre prospect, but picks. Flip those picks to another team for a Centre prospect.

If what’s reported is true, and they turned down multiple picks for Miller, then I really don’t know how this team can ever be a contender.

It’s the cap issues and draft picks that are the main frustration.

It’s starting to feel like we’re completely screwed this off-season. Our backs are against the cap and we’ll have lost any leverage we had.

I think Hronek’s injured and shut down. This may not affect the tank.

I want to like what we’ve done so far, and up until today I did. Losing those two picks today stings. If we can move a forward or two out before Friday for picks/prospects I’d like the Hronek trade a lot more.

Throw in OEL while we’re at it

Carolina has been oddly quiet and given Allvin’s patience lately. They could circle back with everything that’s happened in the East. Lotta big chips are off the table now. We have a couple of the main Forward trade pieces left.

Sounds like Chychrun to LA for Clarke.

Gotta think NJ makes a play pretty soon.

Don’t we have Dave Tallon on in some capacity? Maybe he’d be interested in taking things over if Rutherford wants to retire…
