Think if Schaller doesn’t go in the Tofu deal think our second is gone? possibly, top 6 forwards are usually in that range of 2nd + prospect/picks. If Schaller wasn't involved in that trade, the 2nd would probably become conditional. Toffoli doesn't resign, 2nd becomes a 4th, or something like that. Cupboards can always be restocked, and I have confidence in Benning's drafting ability outside of the top couple rounds. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worried that Marky, now that JB publicly announced talks about a new contract have broken down, might lose focus. He’s saving our butts every game! Disagree about marky. I believe that JB told it like it is and that Marky wants to focus on finishing the season. If so, that means he’s confident and fresh and feeling he can deal with the future later. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were producing when Jake played there and it provided Petey with a little more protection. What a concept hey? Petey getting a little more protection. Offense doesn't suffer and defense doesn't suffer. No matter how much you want to sugar coat it, LE is NOT a top six player and Bo and Pearson are legit top 6 players. LE is a 4th liner, end of story......and that's pushing it. actually before Boeser was injured , Jake was put back on the third line cause he was not playing well, and when Boeser got hurt Jake was put back on the 1st but he was not great there, last game he was floating around a lot, sure he had a few shots on net but no hits, and we need Jake to finish his checks, he is a big guy, heck Pettersson even hits. Jake has done his best work on the 3rd line and PP2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe that JB told it like it is and that Marky wants to focus on finishing the season. If so, that means he’s confident and fresh and feeling he can deal with the future later. Why would a player, who could suffer injury at any moment, feel more comfortable with waiting to get his contract done? Of course Marky is thinking about the security of a contract. Tanev is thinking about his too. So is Tofu. All older players think about their security. An injury at the wrong time (when an older player is approaching UFA status) will cost that guy millions. Im hoping Marky plays lights out still too, but accept he will be burdened by contract worries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake was almost producing a point per game when he was on that line and both his and Boes's point production suffered when they were put back on the 3rd line. You gotta take off those "Boeser Blinders" off every once in awhile there Bree. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK, I said TT was just as good as LE "DEFENSIVELY" if not better(more offense to boot as well) and so he should be playing with Pearson and Bo. You countered by saying something about Boes's offense blah blah blah. So, what is your answer and reasoning of having LE playing on that line as opposed to TT? Look at Millers and Peteys point production, it did not suffer when Boes was replaced with Jake so that cannot be your answer, sorry. Remember, before LE made it to Bo's line he was riding the pine in the press box. So is that where we are resting our top 6 players now too?

Can you see Aquilini forcing JB to trade for PK and Simmonds? If the deal is centered around LE, Baer and Stecher for PK (retained to match LE) and Simmonds, then I'll consider that. Of course we would have to add a prospect or two to make it worthwhile for them. Although I wouldn't do this if the handshake agreement with LE that you are guaranteeing is true. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
