Personality risks are easier to manage than lack of talent, bad skating or injuries imo The way he reacted to not being 1st overall screamed entitlement to me. Might be a player who’s dad you have to deal with not unlike a former young player of ours. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miller or Horvat with an extension might look a lot more enticing now. if presumably true it would have been very short term. Wadell has been very disciplined managing CAR’s contracts. Horvat maybe but Miller probably not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junkyard Dog Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 1 minute ago, aGENT said: Both?! It is an enticing fantasy but I will play along. Do they have the assets? They do have a young Russian LD who's destroying the KHL atm. 21 years old... 6'4''... 215lbs... 42 points in 51 games in KHL. Pretty gnarly prospect. Could be perfect OEL replacement. Wish he was a RD though. https://www.eliteprospects.com/player/514652/alexander-nikishin Of course more is needed. They have two RD in Morrow and Heimosalmi. I prefer Morrow. We'd probably have to take Kotkaniemi. Would be a pretty massive deal for sure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder if Canes might be more interested in Horvat or might even be interested in Miller... their team philosophy is that they do not like rentals....well tada...

Still probably would consider moving Horvat if there's overpayments available. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There may be some immaturity or character issues there. If Seattle was willing to part with him it would make me wonder. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ehhh, I don't expect teenagers to act like adults, of course there's some immaturity there As for hyping him, he was in the mix to be drafted 1OA whether he went there or not, I'd take anyone who's recently been drafted in a top 4 slot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way he would have been captain this year for Team Canada if he had character issues given the off ice issues we've been hearing about for the last year. I had my doubts but he stepped up after the loss and didn't make excuses. Edited January 20, 2023 by King Heffy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Character issues are definitely something to be aware of. Gotta do your homework on these guys. If he dropped in the draft and then Seattle was willing to trade him there could be something there. Wouldn’t be the first time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mll Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 I wonder if some teams don't just throw trade interest out there, knowing that things won't go anywhere, just so that his side knows that they will want to talk to him in free agency. Francis was such a conservative GM in Carolina. He had such a deep prospect pool and pretty much refused to move any to help the team take that next step. Seattle always expected to be competitive. They were already projected to make the post-season last season but brutal goaltending did them in. Wright was picked 4th overall. If things go as they plan, they are not going to pick that high in a some time. They have such a shallow prospect pool and need to still build it so why would they tear it down before they even have an established structure.
