Palmu I would be better with. However, this is provided we'd even need to bribe another team to take Eriksson. I think the most likely scenario will be a cap for cap swap of some sort like Eriksson for Neal or whomever or even part of a larger trade. It's not like Eriksson's completely useless and there is the chance he might actually be a better fit on another team. That being said, I highly doubt another team would be trading based on that alone.

It would have to have happened twice for that to happen at least as if we dont' make the playoffs next year, we still have that lottery pick. That's 2 chances for us to make the playoffs before we actually lose out on a lottery pick. Seeing how our team is gradually coming together fairly nicely, I think it's fair.

Aren't these usually the players that end up proving scouts wrong? I'm not saying he will but it could be funny.
-
Anything is possible; however, I do want to point out that Caufield had over a goal per game last season, not a point but a goal. He's been getting more points than when players like Kessel were in that league. lol

Cue the random complaints of people who wanted a defender at this draft. lol
-
Can't disagree here. I don't know if we've won or lost the trade either. I'm glad we're at least trying things and have constantly been telling people in trade proposals how they will likely be disappointed when they find we don't make a miraculous trade and stupidly in our favour like their proposal entails.

It isn't worth risking that just to get rid of cap. If we have to get rid of a pick or a low end prospect than so be it, but getting rid of a high end prospect is silly no matter what our situation now is. DiPietro is leverage for us later on and allows us flexibility just in case if one of our goaltenders goes downhill or gets injured which actually happens. And while FA brings options, usually starting goaltenders aren't part of it unless if we want to overpay. Do you like overpaying for goalies?
-
Overreact much? Keep in mind the 1st is conditional. If it turns out to be a high end pick, we have bigger issues at that point. People here are going all doom and gloom, yet we actually got a player we need on our roster. There's word that other teams like Calgary wanted Miller so we clearly had to beat out at least one other team on this.
-
If we improve our defense then yes. I'd say we are a playofff contender.
-
Then I'm glad you're not in charge of trades. lol I really think that would be a trade we'd be sorely regretting down the road.

I can see it all now. Virtanen mows down a defender trying to bodycheck him and then Podkolzin comes up from behind and headbutts the defender as he's getting up.
-
Oh god: Virtanen, Horvat, Podkolzin If Virtanen keeps developing that could be a really nasty line for opposition. I'd hate to be a defender getting mowed down.
