Thread: Johnson to CGY and Gourde to EDM
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BruinsWillWin2020</b></div><div>Think about this. 2 points separate five teams in the Atlantic. They range from 2nd place buffalo to 6th in the division Florida. The Lightning have 37 points they just need 2 wins. I don’t think a Puljujarvi is a nessecity at this time, now if he is open at the draft/deadline and they are bottom feeders, I’m all for it. But 2 points in a tight division.</div></div>

Yeah, I probably wasn't clear enough. I think Tampa will be pushing for a playoff spot right to the end of the season, so trading for Puljujarvi doesn't make sense for them until after the season is over. For Detroit, New Jersey, Ottawa and any other team that is out of contention by the deadline, trading for Puljujarvi in-season makes as much sense as trading for a draft pick. Neither can help your team this year, but both have potential to help your team in the future.

Thread: (NJD/ARI) - Hall, Speers for Bahl, Merkley, Schnarr, 1sr round pick, conditional 3rd round pick
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>AndrewLadd</b></div><div>I’d rather Adam Larson than that package</div></div>

Yeah the team that's rebuilding would rather have the pending UFA in 1 year whose a lowish top 4 defensive dman at his absolute best......:rolleyes

I'm really surprised by some of the responses on here..... NJ got a pretty darn decent haul. Not all quantity over quality trades are bad.

Not going to lie if I had to choose between:

(Similar to Mark Stone trade)
Victor Soderstrom
2nd rounder 2020
Oesterle

and

Bahl
Merkley
Schnarr
1st 2020
1st 2021 (solid chance since they are looking to resign him and poised for a playoff spot with home advantage)


I'd think I'd take the second choice.

Nate Schnarr was a 100 point player last year in the OHL. Bahl is poised to be a NHL behemoth dman sooner than later. Merkely has the skill, just needs the environment and patience for him to show it. NJ could be a perfect fit. That's 3 prospects who all have high end ability. Throw in a 1st this year and decent chance at a 1st next year......

Wait till those two picks are selected before you start crapping over the GM. They could be gems. Winnipeg didn't think they were getting a super stud when they drafted Heinola at 20th last year, Or two guys like Tomasino or McMichael who are absolutely tearing up the OHL right now, both taken at 24 and 25 respectively. Two spots NJ could have with those picks this year and next. Maybe better, maybe lower, we'll have to wait and see.

Its no guarantee for sure but then again neither is Victor Soderstrom......
