any chance I get my birthday buddy Fabbro back

Maybe. He's clearly my best prospect and he really rounds out my defense for the next few years before he develops into a real top-4, so it'd take a pretty penny

Well he probably won't jump to the NHL for a couple years since he wants to play college hockey... he will be a Top 2 when he reaches his full potential... so if you had to pick out someone on my team who would you look at?

Arvidsson/Couture/Ekholm/Ellis/Jones

Would you do a Spooner 1 for 1? because all those guys would be Fabbro +

Nah I don't really like Spooner

Backlund + Fabbro for Couture?

No thanks. I really like Fabbro because of the school he goes to and he'll be pretty good.

pssht school... Fabbro and I share the same birthday what would your offer to me be if I was moving Couture with Fabbro as part of the package?

I don't know. I'm honestly not even sure if I'd do Couture for Fabbro straight up. Fabbro just has a lot of value to my team for the future in terms of being a young player on defense, let alone his great potential. As Erik Johnson gets older, Fabbro would be able to replace him in the top-4, and Johnson on my third pair is very good depth. It'd take a good player and some convincing for me to move him

Would you do something around Josi for Giordano?

Nope. Josi's younger, better, and cheaper. I traded Gio for Josi, and I wouldn't do it the other way.

Do you have a fake email account or discord or some other form of communication means? Just want to talk about some stuff on here

Want Jussi Jokinen? Could be had for a 3rd next year... he only costs 2M thanks to Marco

No thanks. A 3rd is too much imo

Mikael Granlund + for Sean Monahan? We can negotiate the size of the plus

That's a good offer, but Monahan is a bonafide #1 center. While Granlund is very good, he's not a #1 like Mony is (and I'm pretty sure Granlund mostly plays wing). So for me, the + would have to be a lot because Mony's a #1 C, and that's extremely valuable

Would Vladislav Kamanev and Ville Pokka constitute a lot?

I like Kamanev but I'd prefer guys who currently play in the NHL (unless they're really good)

Patric Hornqvist of any interest and I could keep Kamanev in deal?

Just for the sake of fun, imagine the havoc Tkachuk and Hornqvist would cause on a line together ?

Sure, but I'd still need more. Since I'm giving up a "horse", in Monahan, and I'm not getting one back (I know Granlund is very good, but he's not a center anymore), I'd need a lot of "ponies" to make up for it

The amount of ice packs for the other team.....
