Thread: If Utah is a buyer this offseason
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Borocop</b></div><div>i dont think bill armstrong is in any rush to trade lamoureux</div></div>

True, I'm just going off the assumption that the owner in Utah will want to speed up the process to be competitive. Barron and Lamoureux are actually fairly similar prospects (both former 1sts, both played for Canada at the WJ), but Barron is older and more NHL ready. The big difference is Lamoureux is waiver exempt, Barron isn't. But the difference in value between Crouse and Matheson more than makes up for it imo.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Lancebmx</b></div><div>Matheson isn't worth that.</div></div>

The only reach is the early 2nd rd pick. Matheson is way more valuable than Crouse. Tried to make up the difference with swapping Barron with Lamoureux and adding a pick. If anything, the pick should be downgraded or removed.

Thread: Trade them both
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>wescam</b></div><div>I think if you are bringing in veteran leadership to speak to this team it needs to be someone who has played at a high level, I do not think I would want either contract with injuries and age but I thought this might be a solution for both</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Borocop</b></div><div>to me, if the sens are going to keep an 8 million dollar centre I would rather norris over couture</div></div>

Without being disrespectful or speculative;

I would guess Coutures probability of even playing another 82 games in the NHL are around 40-50%…

If you’re acquiring him for potentially 8m in LTIR cap space and mentoring sure, but he is really battling a tough injury - I would be happy if he can enjoy life outside hockey. If playing risks that; I’d rather him retire than play more games.

However I don’t see a solution for Ottawa here and I think San Jose would rather keep Ferraro + a 2nd (potentially 33rd OA) &gt; Chabot. They invested in Thrun and Shakir; I think Grier is happy with developing both, with Cagoni needing a clear NHL path too. They need more RD not more LD.

I’m worried about Norris’ shoulder and think he needs to more time to evaluate in Ottawa.
