Quoting: Jetman
Yah...like Morrow....lol....he is the best Moose D for 2019 and we need him esp if Samberg gives us the middle finger next year
Yeah... Joe Morrow as an 8th dman is fine. He's familiar, and can be plugged in the lineup if needed.
I don't see a situation where Samberg doesn't sign. I'd be more skeptical if he wasn't returning to a team that just won back-to-back national championships... but he is, so it's easy to understand why he'd prefer to go back to UMD for a chance at a three-peat, than play for the Moose.
He has a personal relationship with Neal Pionk, having grown up in the same small town. There will definitely be a LHD spot for him on this team... It's the closest team to his home, aside from the Wild. There's no evidence that he won't sign.... if you did just a tiny bit of research on the kid, you'd realize that there's little chance he doesn't end up a Jet.
At any rate... Logan Stanley is a decent prospect, but the whole point here is that he's not at all untouchable.... In this scenario, Florida has a strong, young core of forwards, and are looking to shed cap. They're going to want a d-prospect in return.... Winnipeg has a plethora of young Dmen in their organization... that's why this makes sense.
