trusty is earned and you have done nothing here to earn any trust, OTT declines all.

Call NJD after next year.

Not sure why the Devils would want that Marino trade. A whole lot of "meh" for the Devils top RHD shutdown guy.

well dalas trade would never happen so the other trades involving Dal 1st would not happen

MAYBE after next offseason if the goal is to clear cap and an opening for casey, but that's a heavy maybe

Yes, next year I can see IF Nemec is our shutdown guy and Casey is ready for top 6 time.

Anaheim declines. Two 2025 draft picks between nos. 17 and 48 and some window dressing aren't enough to persuade us to part with our starting goalie, who may not want to play for a Canadian team at all.

Or Dallas just buys out Suter. 🙄

The buyout was less than I thought bring 750k the first year and 1.5 million the next but Duchene will get paid so every dollar counts

Casey is above a PPG in college and Nemec is that guy or I'm just overhyping prospects

If we think Dostal is ready, I’m asking for that Boston 1st instead of Dallas’s 2025 1st and I’m doing it

Just need to convince Gibby to waive

You're just mad that I called you out

Both are excellent but still young. Casey is a touch undersized and NJD should see how he looks in the AHL (and a few NHL games) next year before moving on from a rock solid dman like marino

What about Nemec is he the real deal

Bobby Ryan will convince him

Nemec is already playing a quality 20+ minutes a night on the right side. He's the real deal. He'll get locked up at 8 mill+ long term

Ok that's what I thought

Hughes Nemec

Siegenthaler Hamilton

Bahl Marino

Marino is a luxury and I don't know if you can afford mercer and whatever goalie you trade for (Markstrom Saros Ullmark)

We'll be fine this year. The concern is Luke's new contract. Which is when Marino would potentially be moved. He's our best penalty killer right now by far which we need, other than Brendan Smith but he's so bad elsewhere he can't really be played, unless we go back to the gimmicky stuff of playing him at 4LW

Maybe if we signed Pesce, but otherwise would keep Marino another year at least.

Although, Wallberg looks pretty darn good.

I’m very cool to move Gibby for a fair market return, but that’s been my pov for like 2 years now.

That said, the bigger issue is your last point. I don’t see Gibby waiving for OTT

The main point about Canada is taxes but California is almost as bad

That’s only one reason American players don’t want to go there, it’s far from the only, or main one. Gibson specifically said he had zero interest in playing for TOR. I can’t imagine he’d consider OTT if TOR (way more competitive team, big hockey market, 5hrs from his hometown) is out

Toronto fans are ass holes we're still somewhat nice to korpy and Forsberg. Toronto is the center of sports coverage and Ottawa is ignored although we suck so they're is much to talk about besides Tkachuk and Stutzle

He's still young. The plan should still include a veteran to help him as long as possible, at least one more year if not two.

Is Hamilton retiring or something
