    RD vs LD is part of it but it’s also size, edge, age, and cap hit. There is an element of D to refine still but we need to have a d balance. Can’t have all Tanevs. To your point earlier if the ask is Boeser, then it’s a no. Only in a buy low-ish scenario.
  2. Kobayashi Maru
    It will work. He was a unique talent when here and likely only improved and knows where he fits more. Him coming back will be one of the turning points for us. Just hope it’s this year and not next.
  3. Kobayashi Maru
    Thinking these should be our targets. I would have Turcotte, Boldy, Caufield. Either way we will get a good player.
  4. Kobayashi Maru
    Good call. That is much more reasonable as far as a draft pick payout. Players like Aho, Laine, Rantanen and maybe Tkachuk are worth that payout of picks. 4 1sts is just too big of a pill to swallow.
  5. Kobayashi Maru
    Personally I would want to try for both and move Tanev out. I don’t think Virtanen has the value to get Risto and I think we want to keep him. There is some combo that works to make it happen. Risto, Myers, Edler, Hughes in the top 4 is a nice retool of the D. Plus Tryamkin and Joulevi coming on lower cap hits and it will all fit nicely.
  6. Kobayashi Maru
    To me that is the dream. Sign Panarin, get Tryamkin back and trade for Risto: Panarin Petterson Boeser Tryamkin Ristolainen Hughes Tanev/Myers Edler Stetcher Joulevi Schenn
  7. Kobayashi Maru
    Wonder if Benning has anything to do with this to ensure he stays healthy for any minimal trade value he may have. Granlund can still be an effective bottow six player, but feel that it may be timing to move on.
  8. Kobayashi Maru
    That is definitely the wild card but my bet would be that Zegras and maybe Puljujarvi mitigate that risk as the odds are that they will both be better. Seeing Madden on TV and there is certainly something to get excited about. From a needs perspective I would still go for this swap.
  9. Kobayashi Maru
    Agreed. I think I would keep Joulevi over the 8th this year. As you mention I only want to hurt and not help the Oilers. The hope is they get stuck with the same roster and have the same result.
  10. Kobayashi Maru
    What about DiPietro, Madden, Tanev for Puljujarvi and 8th overall. Draft Zegras and Soderstrom
  11. Kobayashi Maru
    AV was my favourite Canucks coach. Glad he gets another gig. Flyers did well adding him.
  12. Kobayashi Maru
    This exactly. We need Tryamkin back and MacEwen on our fourth line. Bottom six consisting of the following works for me: Roussel Gaudette Virtanen MacEwen Beagle Motte
  13. Kobayashi Maru
    They’ll look like those goats that randomly fall down from shock, haha.
  14. Kobayashi Maru
    I think you’re right. Signing Panarin still allows for the rest of the core to be signed. Having that skill injected along with a new pick and we’re in great shape.
  15. Kobayashi Maru
    That has a nice look to it. Then attack them with: Pearson Horvat Ferland makes a nice combo once Newhook is ready.
  16. Kobayashi Maru
    Toffoli would be a good add but Jake is progressing so I don’t make that trade. Size, speed and shot + little trade value due to not putting it fully together yet = us keeping him.
  17. Kobayashi Maru
    I guess no D or G from Canada this year. Steer clear, haha.
  18. Kobayashi Maru
    Unless I don’t recall correctly(entirely possible) he was in he top 3-5 of mock drafts before the season started. Just the question of his skill against top competition. We could see him vault up the standings.
  19. Kobayashi Maru
    Definitely some risk with Myers for those remaining years unless he is fine with 4. Not that I would ever pair them together regularly just think of Tryamkin Myers ourt in the last minute of the game or in vital situations. Lockdown mode.
  20. Kobayashi Maru
    I think he’s our playoff answer to Tkachuk along with Virtanen. Obviously not at the same level skill wise but with their speed and size on lines 3 and 4 they can keep his focus and get him off his game. That will all be important soon.
  21. Kobayashi Maru
    That has been my hope too as he seems like a new Edler but a bit faster. Only downside is he is another LHD. Seems like another 12-15 year top 4 fixture.
  22. Kobayashi Maru
    I think we keep Gaudette and Madden as they fit our needs at C with options at W going forward. Most likely if we just want a young top pairing/top 4 type d, we move our 1st pick this year. 1st for Risto/Dumba/Trouba type gets what we need. We need that more than Krebs/Boldy. We can more easily get that W in free agency.
  23. Kobayashi Maru
    Those guys or Caufield, Boldy, Zegras. Pretty good player regardless. Only player that scares me in that range is Krebs. Not sure I see him in the same grouping
  24. Kobayashi Maru
    To be honest I think we go for it. Shoot for the moon. We can pick up infinite second liners in free agency
  25. Kobayashi Maru
    Finally! Here we go....
