That was rough. -
[Rumour] Bo Horvat Trade/Contract Talks
Junkyard Dog replied to HOFsedins's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
We're not getting that. No playoff team will give up those assets and no team aspiring to get into the playoffs will give that up as well. They want to add on their team without giving anything of significance on their roster away. What they will mainly give up are picks and prospects. -
[Rumour] Bo Horvat Trade/Contract Talks
Junkyard Dog replied to HOFsedins's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
You're giving Bo too much merit with what's been going. He has not exactly been running this team. The one constant you can say in the last 7 years is that retooling really hasn't worked for us. Last management tried it and this one is maintaining that constant. If we trade Horvat we might as well rebuild. In order to compete this team requires a lot to be done with not a lot to work with and not a lot of time to get it done. We can't afford setbacks and losing Horvat would be a major one if the goal is to compete. -
Hard to sustain that high level of play with how the team plays in front of you. Demko has been bad for sure though but the team hasn't given him many chances. A lot of these goals going in are usually the big saves he has made before on odd-man rushes and turnovers. I expect Martin to come down to earth soon if we continue to play like the last 2 games. What's even harder is to try to get out of a funk when the team plays the way they have.

[Rumour] Bo Horvat Trade/Contract Talks

If we trading Bo we might as well rebuild and trade others as well. Like Miller, Kuz, Garland, etc. Boeser i'd probably wait for now cause his value is low and with those guys out he'll play top line minutes which means more opportunity for production. Could do this with Garland as well. If you can find a trade for OEL move him but I wouldn't use any picks to move OEL. 4 years after this one anyone we draft in 2023-2025 will expire close to or at the same time as him(Probably most in 2023 since I don't see anyone besides a top 5 pick stepping in right away). I guess he can be a veteran for a young D to play with. Myers you probably right retention then someone might take him. If not higher chance someone takes him next year with 1 year left and retention. Same goes for Pearson. Try to do what Ducks did and sign someone like Klingberg(above average player who can't get contract) for a year that you can flip. Or take cap dumps for picks/prospects from cap strapped teams. -
I hope we really tank. For realz this time.

He's doing well there and youngsters Hog/Pod/Bone are struggling to perform with the tire fire. IMO we might want to send the kids down so they don't forget what playing hockey is like. And so they actually get minutes.

Problem is nobody wants the players not on that list. JR even stated the players he wants to move out, that he doesn’t feel are fits, nobody wants. -

Mentally speaking sure. We'd be at a major crossroads as an organization. -

We gonna take a big step back next year if he's gone. -
We have a ton of forwards this year and Hog/Pod barely get any ice-time as is. Let him sizzle in the AHL.

In this regard with ownership there’s not much we can do besides voice our displeasure and hope he smartens up. Everything else correlates with Ownership. Like I said though it’s a hope and prayer at this point. I think that’s more likely(still very unlikely) than him selling the team anyway. For him to sell the team the stars would have to align in terms of circumstances. Only certainty is that things are bleak atm.
