If I am trading Hoffman, RNH is really not who I'd want. He is also more expensive so it doesn't make sense for Ottawa.
Don't think Vegas need Ryan. Think more about a team lacking offensive talent and who have cap space.
Ceci will get more than $3,000,000 x 2 years. His QO is $3,300,000

Only stone is a good winger. Jgp is better than a 4th c, seems like wasting him. The 3rd pairing and goaltending seem like major weaknesses. I don’t think this team would make the playoffs, but it’d probably sell tickets well.
Dzingel is not good? The rest are rookies so obviously you don't really have an opinion on them yet lol
Borowiecki-Wideman has actually been a solid 3rd pair in the past. They didn't play much together this year because of injuries.
Agreed on goaltending, but they've been solid in the past. Problem is team defense, under a new coaching staff, things could change.

That’s fine. I appreciate your selflessness, but I do believe all 8 d’s On Boston outrank that pair.... meaning a poor chance at the playoffs for ott.
Borowiecki is physical, but he’s going to cheap shot and not back it up. That’s self defeating, so his value is on the way down. He was once an agitator who took on anyone, which is useful like a lesser version of Adam mcquaid, but now he said he’s not going to fight. That takes away credibility imo.... that’s like a rapper who doesn’t rhyme.... he’s becoming a negative value. I know you are intelligent so i’m Wondering if you can foresee him stirring the pot and getting the other team pissed off and then not backing up his actions by refusing all fights. That isn’t helpful imo, the yield is a lesser chance of winning.
To be real, I think ott needs to rebuild. This season is what Ottawa truly is. I don’t think of them as a good team, they’re like 3 to 5 good players and then just random ppl. No identity. Get like 4 picks in 2018. 1st + for ek and duchene. Rebuild instead of shortcut.
Thanks for your "opinion" on Boro, really liked the rapper comparison lol
Anyway, thanks also for your opinion that this season is what Ottawa truly is. It's the second time in 22 years that they get a better draft position than 9th (Zibanejad with a 6th in 2011) but yeah, 2nd last is what Ottawa TRULY is.
Personally I don't see how a team with those assets needs to fully rebuild :
Stone (25)
Duchene (26)
Hoffman (28)
Dzingel (26)
Pageau (25)
Brown (20)
Batherson (19)
Chlapik (20)
White (21)
Formenton (18)
Gagné (21)
Paul (23)
Perron (21)
Nurmi (19)
Luchuk (21)
Sturtz (23)
Karlsson (27)
Chabot (21)
Wolanin (23)
Ceci (24)
Jaros (22)
Harpur (23)
Lajoie (20)
Summers (21)
Englund (22)
Pokka (23)
Gustavsson (19)
Hogberg (23)
Driedger (23)
Hollett (19)
And they're about to add one of Dahlin, Svechnikov, Zadina, Dobson, Tkachuk, Whalstrom etc. and another very good prospect with Pittsburgh's 1st round pick.
