Quoting: BroadwayBlueshirts
Maybe if you retain like that. If I were them I'd prob want Bellows, but Leddy at a discount would be good to have in the room before flipping at the TDL.
Quoting: Radu47
Superb AGM and I hope people read the description
As someone who hugely supports them keeping Bellows & Aho (swedish Nick Leddy in future) I really like this strategy and reckon Seattle may take it
Though with Bellows being a rare chance at acquiring a high upside player early on it might not be enough, seems not much of that will be available ultimately
Really think Seattle will pass on Bellows. His upside at this point seems kinda limited and I’m not sure if he has the tools to be able to stay in the NHL long term.
I think if Seattle is speculating that an undervalued, young player on the Isles could be an impact player for them in the near future, Sebastian Aho is their pick (he really is a Swedish Nick Leddy, with less of the polish, as
@Radu47 so astutely put). I’d like to keep Aho, but Trotz has done nearly everything in his power the last two years to make sure he doesn’t get into the lineup, so I doubt he’s a future piece for us. As far as I’m concerned, both him and Bellows are expendable this offseason.
Thank you both for your responses!
