Description

With the injury list on defense pilling up, I think we may need to make a small trade. Now here is what I am thinking....

Drew O'Connor was lights out good in last nights game.
-He fit in on the PP like a regular
-He is a physical big body
-He is young with potential to grow

So hear me out now...

I would expect O'Connor to become a full-time NHLer at some point in this season. With him jumping into the lineup, that leaves us with an excess of Forwards and the odd one out is....

Zach Aston-Reese

I am truly a big fan of Zach but with 3 seasons of playing on the Penguins he hasn't shown much in my eyes. 17 points being his highest point total is far from anything spectacular. (Please leave an explanation if you think I am wrong by saying this)

FINAL SUMMARY:

Now with all that being said, I believe that we trade Zach while he still has some value and he could potentially become a top 6 player that we all expected him to be if he gets a fresh start. I suggest we trade him for a strong top 6 or 7th dman.

Now the part that I need help with is what Dman would you guys suggest????? I gave 5 of my top guys but I would love to hear more ideas!

Here are my thoughts and please give me yours in the comments!

Thanks and keep it positive!

Montreal isn’t interested. We need Mete more than we need another forward. And he’s not actually available for trade, that’s just other GM’s speculation.

Graves isn't going to land you a 1st. He's battling for a roster spot in COL.

I agree with Pharrow, Graves is about to be the odd man out and frankly he is nothing special imo
