If Dahlin and Svechnikov are gone, we should draft Boqvist or Bouchard. Or depending where we seed in the draft, NYI are sitting with two picks in the mid-later teens. The draft goes pretty deep in the 1st with good dmen, so perhaps if Snow sees someone he really likes at our spot and both the B's are gone, we take his two from him in exchange, maybe even plus one of the 2nds if we have top drop a fair ways (8-10+), as undoubtedly we're going to pick top-10.

I think he has said in the past that if they moved a significant dman that they'd want one in return. But swapping a 28-year-old for a 24-year-old might not accomplish a whole lot? Rather, considering our timeline I think he'd target a "near ready" like he did with Granlund and Baertschi. That plus a pretty decent pick and whatever else to balance it out. The team needs a legit shot from the point...hope jim finds a way to make that a reality Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's almost certain Juolevi will come up next year, with Benning and Linden repeatedly saying, "and Juolevi next year" when speaking of our depth on D. Elder - Gudbransin Tanev - Juolevi Stecher - MDZ Pouliot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If our draft pick is in the 5-7 range lets say. That we could package that high 1st, Tanev, and a Baerstchi for Karlsson? As much as I like Karlsson, I think that is a overpayment for sure...

Has unreal goal production for a defenseman playing in his league. Bouchard has more varied shot selection--has a good slapper and wrister. In addition, he makes smart plays all over the ice, and has chemistry with Juolevi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
70seven Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 I can’t imagine Tanev being dealt if injured. What else would a team like TO want off our roster? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRAZY_4_NAZZY Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Namesnikov would be hard to pluck from Tampa as he has fitted well as the third man on the Stamkos-Kucherov line. Not a big physical player standing at 6'0'', but is a feisty player who has had several NHL fights against some tough players such as Boone Jenner, and Sam Bennett. Brock Nelson scores and makes plays and owns big frame, but isn't a physical player as Benning described. Is good at puck retrievals though. I can't imagine Florida wants to part with Bjugstad, as he has slid in nicely beside Barkov and Huberdeau. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d still be taking Zadina and Tkachuk ahead of those two. They are the best options available imo. As as much as we need a D man, we need serious help on the LW as well... Sedin and Baertschi aren’t rounded enough for top 6 roles in this league. And if you’re not rounded enough, you have to have some exceptional production, which they don’t. If Pettersson doesn’t play center, he could help fill part of that void, and hope that Gaudette develops into a top 6 C. We’d still need another top 6 LW tho.

I'm hoping we trade for Domi and sign Kane. But yeah, if we don't get those guys, drafting BPA might be best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are serious questions about Karlsson’s health and he could well be in decline. That is bad news for any team that is going to be asked to shell out $13 million a year on a long term contract.

He has 9 pts in the last 10 games, working back to all-world status. Doubt the Senators will trade him before the deadline... at the draft, however...

I wonder if he would be considered for our 3C spot and move along from Sutter (if the Sedins stay on past this season). it would be interesting to see him on a line with Virtanen.

Gaudette Celly Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 What's Bjugstad worth? He cracked 40 points but once in his career and is sub-0.5ppg. Some package with Hutton? Include Nilsson and we take back Luongo to retire that recapture penalty sword of Damocles for good? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I probably do Hutton and Baertschi for Bjugstsd and a pick of some sort. With moves like that, and the regular runours about us pursuing Kane, our forward core could look very different next year.

Off_The_Schneid! Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Patterson just tweeted a Benning comment about Phillip Holm that makes it pretty obvious we are trading a defenceman Wants to get him in some games and see where he’s at and where he fits with the group moving forward says that he will wait until after this week and the trade deadline and go from there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
