Because we are low on picks this year, and while having a decent talent pool, it's not bottomless. What we do have is a good number of prospects ready to push for spots on both D and Offense

Except, Benning literally just said he wants to show his teams he wants to make a push and believe in them By trading for Toffoli and would turn around and trades a depth D for picks?  Unless he make a separate trade to bring another one it makes no sense .

If Stecher is traded it would probably be for Simmonds.

 

Also it would mean we aren't re-signing him and/or have confidence in Tryamkin coming back or Rafferty coming in.

Who replaces Stecher’s minutes though?  Is that why the Hockey Gaud rumour?  Gaud for Ristolainen?

We have tonnes of cap space right now. Once we pay Loui his $5m next July he becomes far more tradeable with a sweetener. 

True, not many teams struggling to get over the salary cap floor though, I will be so happy if/when the LE cap issues are over though.(hopefully this summer)

he would not fight kassian or foligno, they would kill him

Please do your research before posting something like this. Foligno and/or Kassian would certainly not kill Simmonds. He's easily in their weight and skill class fighting-wise. Check his card out, he has plenty of fights against equally tough or tougher guys than these two already.

Dylan McIlrath x 2

Tom Wilson

Michael Haley x2

Matt Martin x 4

Deryk Engelland

Etc

Until I looked I didn't realize that Stecher has actually been averaging the lowest ATOI for all defensemen likely because he doesn't have PK or PP duties.

 

As much as I like Stecher he really won't be missed that much other than being a RHD.  As the games get heavier he tends to get pushed off the puck too easy.

Love Stecher.  Don’t think we can afford to resign both him and Tanev.  I see Us walking from Stecher, just like we did Hutton.  Next year Rafferty will play those minutes.  

Has anyone heard anything at all on the prospect of Tanev coming back?  

My gut tells me he's gone for nothing.

What hurts more? Losing him for nothing or trading him for a nice pic

And giving him up for the playoff push and playoffs. 

I want to trade him because aren't there yet. 

But I agree it ain't gonna happen

Nothing is more important than doing everything they can to make the playoffs.

What hurts the most is knowing guys like Marky and Tanev, who are really important, are gone because we have some players who don’t really do a lot with bad contracts.  Loui, Sutter, Baer, Beagle.
