Ilya Mikheyev Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 So Smashvville has Jose - Ekholm - McDonagh down the left side. Looking good for next year. Surprised they helped T-Bay out so much with Myers' weird buy out sitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostsof1915 Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 Tampa is just loaded with Right Handed D-men prospects. A lot are from the 3rd round. Maybe that's something the Canucks should look at doing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We absolutely should have been (during the Benning era) accumulating second and third round picks and drafting D with them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But why would Poille trade a younger guy for a guy who (when resigned to an extension) will be 36-37 when that contract is up? Oh. That’s right. He just traded for a 33 year old guy who will be 37 when his contract is over. Get ‘er done JR! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They haven't given up much of anything so I am not sure they've changed direction. Philippe Myers was even loaned to the Marlies - they didn't even keep him in their system to end the season. Mismash has 12pts in 57 AHL games. McDonagh will help them improve defensively - Nashville has struggled to defend for some time. do you think this might make Ekholm more tradable?

They didn't give up a high draft pick, key prospect or young player of value. ` Poile has always said they want to remain competitive as they transition to a younger core. They are still trying to extend Forsberg. If they start giving up key futures for older players then that is a clear change of direction, but otherwise it looks like they've improved while not hurting their future.

Elias Pettersson Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 Wow Tampa just cleared enough cap space to sign both Palat and Rutta. However, they've created a big hole on D. Wonder who they are going to target in free agency? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elias Pettersson Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 Why would Nashville pick up another over 30 year old LHD? Their defence is not very well balanced IMO... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh. That’s right. He just traded for a 33 year old guy who will be 37 when his contract is over. Get ‘er done JR! They might also be losing Forsberg and are clearly desperate to stay competitive. Fabbro would be the perfect partner for Hughes IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostsof1915 Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 I guess this means Cal Foote is ready for a bigger role? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeremyCuddles Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 Kind of a mismash package. McDonagh should fit in well with Nashville. Tampa gets cap relief. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They haven't been very good defensively and McDonagh should help. Wouldn't be surprised if Ekholm goes back to playing with Josi and Fabbro drops to the 3rd pairing or they could use Fabbro as trade chip. They seem high on Carrier but Fabbro might not be top-4 material, but he is a RHD and still fairly young so he could have trade value. They are concerned about their 2nd line. They just didn't have much scoring from that line. I think they would like more proven/veteran players for that line but I am not sure they would part with high draft picks key prospects. Younger guys like Kunin, Tolvanen could be available though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
