You'll never get 2 1st forget that

KaLiyev isn't close to ready, he plays am extremely junior friendly game, just stands around waiting for Jenik to feed him the puck, and his shot alone is good enough to beat junior goalies, but as galchenyuk has found out, you need more than just a decent shot to beat NHL goalies

What do you consider to be a short rebuid? The Rangers are in year two but still a it away from contending.

I have no idea why I said short. It won't be short.

I guess the only question for me re its length are Doughty and Kopitar. Depending on how long it will take should answer if they should trade them

Thanks for the info

Eh. Getting rid of Johnson will cost a first. Brown at half price is the other first. May be a little much, but I don't think so. It's the kind of thing Rutherford has done. Anything to keep this window open

Brown worth a 1st ok lol

I think all of your trades are overly optimistic in the Kings' favor, and I'm a Kings fan.

What makes you think that Jack Johnson's contract is so terrible that Pittsburgh would pay Marleau money to get rid of it? He can be bought out for almost 2/3 less than his cap hit for the next two years, and if you assume that the Pens won't re-sign Galchenyuk or Schultz, they aren't close to being in cap trouble next year. I don't think you could get ONE first for taking Johnson and sending Brown -- and I love Brown.

Wilde for Toffoli would be a coup. The Islanders are at the bottom of the cap table, so they don't care about Komarov's hit; therefore, thinking they would trade Komarov and Ho-Sang in return for a fourth and taking roughly half of Kovalchuk off our hands (thereby using up a roster space) is, to put it mildly, awfully hopeful when we already have the benefit of sneaking Wilde away from them.

Forbort won't get a second when he's already spent the first third of his last season under contract on the IR; Hutton won't get more than one third; and I get the idea Tampa Bay thinks they're fine the way they are currently constituted.

Thinking that Buffalo would trade away that much of their future for Anze isn't realistic. You're acquiring those three assets because they are prime ingredients in a rebuild, right? Well, Buffalo is thinking exactly the same thing because they aren't anywhere nearer the playoffs than we are.

Brown at half retained. The pens spent a first on Reaves. Brown is a lot better.
