No changes on D? Not sure I like that

Declined

No thanks

Finding more scoring is still our biggest need. I’m not sure what we can really add on D unless it’s moving on from POJ or another RHD for the 3rd pair but I wouldn’t want to spend much there.

What would they want for Batherson?

A mid 1st and a good not expensive decent age 2 way middle 6F

Or just a swap for a top 4 RD under 26

Not that I'm particularly interested in moving Batherson.

But, for the sake of curiosity, would you be willing to give up the entire return on Guentzel for Batherson ?

A nearly 5 mil guy on the 4th line is not ideal. I'd rather use that money for a 2nd pair LD and drop Graves to the 3rd

hes not for trade, al any price. he is literally irreplaceable.

i would not trade Bath for Makar 1 for 1, that is how much his contract is worth. a 5M 60-70 point RW in his prime, GL finding that anywhere else, his replacement would be 8M+ easy or 10M+ is Reignhart signs, then OTTs cap is ****ed.

That is maybe the worst comment I’ve ever seen on this site. You wouldn’t trade a good top 6 winger for the literal best dman in the league, who’s a top 5 player overall and only 25 years old, and signed on a team friendly deal for the next 3 seasons? That’s absurd

Nope

Graves has to be 2nd pairing and he should be. You don’t give up on a guy after one season of 6.

You have an insane valuation of him.

It's not giving up. If he plays good then great. Just means we have depth, something this team hasnt had since our cup runs

I know KK is young and can be a good NHL player - but given the difference in the length of contract and lack of cap savings, I think I'd rather just keep Smith for one year and throw one of our young C in the lineup.
