Thread: If we tried to win
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Cham</b></div><div>Me personally no because I grew up with Kane and I want to be able to compete again with him (and Toews/Keith), however, if Bowman managed to piss off him and the other core guys enough and traded them (which isn't out of the realm of possibility) I don't hate that trade but I'm higher than most (I think) on Texier and Korpi. I think if we went full rebuild so long as we could flip Nyquist (who I'm assuming you're moving for cap reasons) it could work.

...That being said I might cry for a month straight if we traded Kane, Toews, and Keith (and holy parenthesis)</div></div>

I honestly like Korpi over Merzlikens, but I know Jackets plan on keeping Elvis and moving Korpi at some point. Nyquist was Definitely for cap reasons, but I like his two way play. If we get Kane, I would be okay moving Atkinson but the Jackets never would, he is probably an icon, and franchise type guy on small market team. I am very high on both Texier and Foudy, I includes Texier because he is slotted on the wing but can play center. Foudy is a true center, so I wanted to keep him.

Thread: GOALIE
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>pharrow</b></div><div>his stats were horrible in 18-19.
And Kane will be 34 before he ever laces up. At the least.
That's if he even makes it.


is that what you want to waste the last best year of Kane on?
They might as well trade Kane and say, rebuild. I can't imagine he's happy with that. I'm sure he'd like to win, at least 1 more time before he retires.</div></div>

He's one of the younger guys in the draft...so when you say his stats were bad...he was team USA's starting goalie at 16 while playing with 17 year old kids. You're correct that it'll take a LONG time for him to get into the NHL, but that's how it works for just about every single goalie drafted. To you're point...Hawks probably could have traded for Murray and still drafted this guy. They didn't and I'm happy with that.
