Trocheck is going to get more than 4 years, no way he takes a 2 year deal. I'd love to have him at that price though, but I think he will get more. We let Smith go, Drury isn't going to bring him back.

Smith is sort of a placeholder, there are other 3 pairing defenseman available at that price. We could definitely give Trocheck a longer term deal, as it stands we don't have a cup caliber 2c, unless Chytil taks a very big step this season.

I would not be against Trocheck getting a 4-5 year deal at that right price and as long as it doesn't have an NMC. Seems like chatter has begun to pick up with him going to the Rangers or Pens, but who knows how true that is as Drury keeps everything so close to his chest.

CBJ already traded one 4th-rounder for a guy who does nothing but punch other players, we're not doing it again. Pass.

CBJ was a placeholder, it could be anyone
