Frankly, you do what Crosby wants

Picks are no longer aloud for signings, It's in the new CBA.

Literally the opposite of what Vancouver wants to do

Whaaat is that Canucks trade? They definitely need to throw in 3-4 more pieces.

Oilers easily pass they will stay loyal to smith like it or not that’s just a very obvious reality following the team. No chance they move skinner either.

The pens prospect pool isn’t great and they won’t be great for a few more years so I don’t see them blowing it up first round exit or not. If they don’t give up their first and second rounders this year they’re gonna be late picks anyway so they won’t make an immediate impact. Hextall is in a tough spot for various reasons

rangers should pass we cant afford kapanen. hes also been terrible this year

Personally as a wings fan would like rather make a deal for a petterson and kapanen package. Some pens fans seem to have a lot higher asking price for petterson than I expected tho

Edit: And after reading description (again personally) I think Rasmussen could fit in that package as well. He’s a solid 2 way guy with 40pt per season potential. Absolutely right that LHD are a must have for DET.

Can't do conditions on a player resigning anymore.

I agree. Yzerman has not spent much capital trying to shore up LHD. Leddy was a 2nd and he packaged a player he did not want in Mantha trade to boot. Can not see him giving up a pick and a player for Dumoulin. But Kap and Petersson is much more possible.

The left side of Detroit's defense is old enough without another 30yr old besides thats too much for Dumoulin. Detroit passes

oilers aren't doing that

They should rebuild because they won't go far.

They won't because people will still pay to see a good regular season team full of past glories. (It's a good show!)

Until Crosby ask for a trade or retires, then only will a new cycle start.

Detroit says no thanks

You can't do conditional picks on someone resigning anymore, but if you could Detroit would say no
