I don't think NSH is interested in trading Fabbro right now, but I'd do that deal -- especially if they're worried about Forsberg walking to FA.

I personally wouldn’t. Looking at our pipeline our forward group is a lot better then our defensive group. I don’t see anyone that can replace Fabbro (especially with how he’s been playing).

Beginning of the year my opinion would’ve been different. Fabbro was a little lackluster last season, Boeser had a strong year, we just got Myers and he seemed like he could step into Fabbros place. But now, Fabbro has had a very strong year, Myers can’t find a regular spot on the roster, tomasino looks promising, Jeannot has exploded onto the scene, and boeser has as many points as Colton sissons. Boeser is also a rfa and is going to expect a big paybump

Pens accept. I'd say it will help to take DeSmith back, but the Pens can probably find a taker.

Fabbro has been good, but I don't think he's irreplaceable at this point. And having another guy (if Forsberg is re-signed) that has 30 goal potential would be big for NSH. I don't see Tomasino, Sissons, Jeannot, or anyone on the current roster that has that potential at this point (though Duchene looks like he'll hit it this season -- but who knows which Duchene we get next year...). And then if Forsberg walks, there is a built in replacement in Boeser. I also think Boeser will sign around $6.5-7m. I don't see him making more than that, which I think is a doable number for NSH. And as for a Fabbro replacement, I think you could go after a guy like Miller on a 2-year deal and not lose much sleep over it.

I mean, I don't think there's any reason to make this trade right now, but I'd definitely consider it.

If Vancouver is retaining Money then additional draft picks or Prospects are included

Drury says keep dreaming Canuck fans.

Would rather just keep Boes at that point. Bo is not more valuable than Laine lol

We'll see come trade deadline day. Gotta give something up to get a good player. What is your trade proposal then?

First off, I agree JT is a good player and Canuck fans should expect a good return for him. Second, I agree you have to give good value to get a good player. But here is the issue: JT does not have the same value to every team and his value is also affected by other players that may be available. The Rangers clearly need help in the top 6, and JT would provide that, but so would Rielly Smith, Toffoli, or even Kessel. They are not as good as JT, but they are also cheaper to acquire. The Rangers don't NEED to add JT. It would be nice to have him, but it's not critical. Other teams may NEED him more and be willing to give more to get him. And the last part is this: Schneider is not available, he is part of the Rangers long term plan. If a RD needs to part of a deal for Miller then its Nils Lundqvist. If it's Schneider or no deal, then its NO DEAL and the Rangers will need to go elsewhere for a top 6 RW.
