What if its a second or first or both instead of a 3rd. I mean graves is still a decent defensive defenseman.

Tuch is untouchable- he’s our next Captain & we absolutely are not trading him

U could offer three 1sts, and the answer is still “no”

We don’t want futures
And we have absolutely ZERO interest in another LEFT shot defenseman

Sorry, but there’s just no way it’s gonna happen

And left handed. We've got 5 already. Tuch isn't gonna be available for anything reasonable, and this is just stuff you've got lying around.

I had hoped this nonsense would end with the passing of the trade deadline…. Ugh

That offer doesn't get you Jenner alone. Maybe Kuraly. Certainly not both of them.

Ottawa laughs at that trade. Ottawa is looking for more players like Giroux.... We aren't going to give him up. Not to mention if Ottawa is a seller at the Trade deadline he would bring back Ottawa an absolute fortune. Ottawa might take Karlsson back but Pittsburgh will have to retain money, add a sweetener. Karlsson having a NMC limits the places he'd be willing to go.

Hey, ya know what'd be cool?- if we could get a first line, two way, power forward, on a great contract. And we have these players that we were gonna drop off at the salvation army anyways, let's offer that. How could they say no?

I think cap goes up to like 87mil, no? In that situation, I think I'd rather keep Jarry and the picks and sign replacements for Jenner/Kuraly instead. You could put together a good team - assuming the trades went through

Dubas angers both Buffalo and Columbus fanbases/GMs irreparably. Tuch and Jenner are untouchable. Dubas is swiftly told no and limited to 29 potential trade partners for the rest of his career.

It’s like 75% of the ppl on here (maybe more) don’t realize that the trade needs to work for BOTH TEAMS
Ridiculous
