You said "JB DOES NOT trade for assets at trade deadlines.". He did trade for an asset....how is that a saw-off?

 

Perhaps you meant to say " JB DOES NOT SELL to obtain assets at the trade deadline".

Yes, your terminology is better.  JB does not sell to get get assets, like picks.  On the record I'm not a fan of Baer.

We should definitely trade Sutter and Eriksson. It makes so much sense. 

 

You're absolutely right, the team is in total disarray and needs to be blown up from the foundation. Everybody gone. Send Willie to the unemployment line, he's useless. This dismantling of the team gives us the perfect reason to finally fire that dickhead Benning too. I love the way you think. And for all of this we'll be totally set up for the future with two first round picks, two seconds, and maybe a 4th/5th rounder plus some surefire, can't-miss C(+?) level prospects. The future is set. The cup will be ours.

Trade the Sedins AND Hansen to one team, retain half salaries and take back a contract.

This would have to happen AFTER the expansion draft OR to a team with space to protect the Sedins.

Or

To a team that will lose a player in expansion anyway.

There are only about 2 or 3 teams that could do a trade like this.

Of course there is nothing stopping trades just before the expansion draft to make space as "conditions" included in any deal. Like trading

as of today, november 27, no trades have to be made

they won 2 of their past 3 games on the road

with a roster heavy in ahl players

our best present trade would be to replace an ahl player on our roster

with a returning recovered from injury player we already have the rights to

let's see what this team can do over the next 18 or so games to the half way point of the season

then we'll have a better idea of what we have

and where this team might be going

they are finally playing a bit more consistently

the sedins are untradeable. any trade we make will have to be dollar for dollar. benning will move players when they can be adequately replaced.  someday, horvat, virtanen and boeser can man the top line, but they aren't ready yet.  if you could trade edler for a like contract and a pick, that might work, but i don't see that happening. 

linden has already said, they have a plan and they are sticking to it. that's good enough for me.  i'm glad cdc isn't building this team. 

i get your point

but i think you should not count on virtanen to be on our top line ..

i think him making the club as a 3rd line playe will really be an accomplishment

but we'll see how his stint in the ahl goes

he seems to lack that required mental asset to make the final jump to the nhl

i do hope i am wrong about him

maybe he will be on a slower development path

but all signs point to him being a bit of an underachiever rather than an overachiever

Hard to trade assets when there's no demand.

 

This isn't the stock market, or housing market where you flip houses to make a profit. 

 

The salary cap makes it difficult to move players who aren't producing in relation to their salary cap. 

 

Benning has traded guys like Lack, Bieksa, Kesler. Just because it doesn't happen when YOU want, doesn't mean you can.

No one is going to trade for the Sedins this year when they have to be protected in the expansion draft. If they get moved it'll be next season. 

What management should do is convince the twins to waive their NMC and then make a deal with Vegas. Leave the twins unprotected so that Vegas can claim one and move the other one for their 1st. The twins get to stay on the west coast and Vegas gets two solid players to start their franchise.

We would get a high first and also know who we will lose in the expansion draft.

 

Will Miller sign in Vegas?
