They're not even in a playoff spot right now and you think they should trade a solid prospect and 2 second rounders for Sammy Vatanen.

That's a MASSIVE overpayment from any team.

I mean, they’re not giving up Elvenes for a rental. So the trade stops there.

Idk if I’d call Elevens a decent prospect. And they’re 2 points out and should get out of the little slump they’re in

elvenes is near a ppg in the ahl as a 19 year old. this makes sense if its a lower end, longshot prospect

20 years old, 33 pts in 41 gp in the AHL. He’s one of their top prospects.

Exactly, that’s what I thought Elvenes was, clearly not though

what if Dugan was going the other way? Then they can reunite the dynamic duo is Jack Dugan and Tyce Thompson.
