Isles can probably expect anywhere from a 2nd to a third for The idea that we’d need to lose assets to shed a puck moving Top 4 defenseman is beyond crazy.
Hell no on Hoffman. He’ll be another Ladd in 2 years, maybe sooner. Eberle at RW1 for now is fine, what we really need is an LW that can move Lee down to the 2nd lone where him, Nelson and Bailey can tear it up again. If Lou’s prudent, he’ll give LW1 to Beau and let the lineup fall into place from there.
No need to make an extravagant trade to dump Boychuk when we can just LTIR him. If an older guy with injury history leaves the playoffs with a head injury, it’s open and shut to get him on LTIR.
