Quoting: Xspyrit
Well, IRL you don't really know. I am not pushing for it, I was just telling you a way to make a profit with Kubalik.
I'm sure some teams would jump on it if they could have him for a 3rd or 4th, knowing he'll be worth more at the deadline (or use him as their own rental all season)
It's also funny that you say that like this (those playerS) after I told you that the Sens would then trade Brannstrom in a separate trade lol
Responding to your last quote more in depth since I had class and couldn't do so...
Nashville has a plethora of young players already deserving of the ice time.
On the left side we have: Forsberg, Nyquist, Parssinen (who might be forced to play wing because we have 5 c's), and Trenin.
On the right we have: Tomasino, Evangelista, Sherwood, Gurianov, Smith, and Kemell (who I assume will get games in at some point).
Nyquist did fine on a better team. Posting 10 points in 9 games with Minnisota after the TDL last season.
Nashville will likely be sellers at the TDL. If we acquire Kubalik for a mid round pick, it's unlikely a team jumps at the chance to pay MORE than we did if he's scoring at a similar pace. There isn't much profit to be made. It's not worth it. Even if we wanted to retain, we only have one slot left. We need to use it wisely. And we only have so many spots for the plethora of young players we might call up from the system.
As for Brannstrom, there's no space either. 4 current RD and he doesn't bump Lauzon off the 3LD because Lauzon is one of our only 2 thumpers who are physical on the back end, which we need.
Dorion can figure it out on his own without Nashville's help, and i don't think teams are going to be jumping at the chance to help them clear cap. It was even reported the Flyers wanted Boucher to take Joseph.
