Quoting: LumberJacques
I agree about selling Tatar and Petry since they are both 30+ but Domi is not in that situation. Tearing everything down is well and good but it's important to keep some good players. We've all seen how teams that have been terrible for a long time struggle to get going even when they do end up with good players (cough, cough Edmonton, Arizona and Buffalo).
If players like Tatar and Pageau can get 1st round picks at around 28 why not hang onto Domi and see if the 70 point form can return. If not you don't lose much since people on here already value him like a 40 point winger anyways.
I don't see Montreal trading Petry at all. I had thought it would have been a good idea in the past, but until our RD prospects step up, or we acquire someone decent, I don't see it happening.
Logically you keep Drouin, Danault and Domi. You trade Tatar and Gallagher for cap reasons while gaining assets. But Drouin has been trash except small hot streaks. He is done, get rid of him, expect nothing of value in return. Mark it up to the French media, they wanted a French savior, and it resulted in the worst trade since Roy. Danault, depends on his contract demands, but we should be able to get him to fit. Otherwise we go into next season with 4 centers with 2 years of experience or less :S . Domi, if he wants to play wing, you keep him. If not, trade him, but not to the Penguins for any of McCann, Bjugstad, 2nd, Hallinder, any number of fringe AHL players.
