Thread: Tkachuk Bratt someone else has to go
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NJDevils1317</b></div><div>I wouldn't compare everything to DeBrincat. That trade was WIDELY panned as a bad deal for Chicago. It was pennies on the dollar. Also, I do believe Tkachuk is a better asset as he can IMMEDIATELY be signed to an extension as opposed to DeBrincat with OTT could play a year, then say "I'm not going long term with you" and then Ottawa is left trading him in an even worse position.</div></div>

Sure but Cal has less leverage and look at the other side of the players I named. Plus Debrincat and Fiala are what we have to use as a measuring stick
I am with you on Holtz at the very least, a 2023 1st, but then its a Bahl/Foote/Thompson/Grits/Walsh/Stillman/Muk (in no particular order) and maybe a mid round pick or not

Thread: This would be so fun
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Hischier4Captain</b></div><div>sure, but i'd expect you to also explain why hes not a 1C.

He's playing top line center on a bad team at age 21. He's not big but hes very strong protecting the puck and in the corners. He's extremely defensively responsible and is a leader in the room. His play gets better as the situation gets tougher, he can be counted on in all situations, and with all of this he's played through nothing but headwinds from both a teammate perspective, coaching perspective, system perspective, etc.

He's getting stronger each season and its beginning to show in the faceoff circle. On top of that he's playing more with the puck on his stick which is why hes scored more highlight type goals recently. He's 21 and only getting better</div></div>

Well. He is going into a slow start, and he isn’t getting a lot of points yet, he maybe able to be a 1C, but right now he isn’t going to be. I think he is a good 50-60 point guy who can play on the second line, and win face offs, and get a few points.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Hischier4Captain</b></div><div>I couldn't disagree with your statement more

Wood is 24 and an absolute wrecking ball. If he's smart, he'll train with a guy like oates and work on finishing some of the grade a chances he creates. Hes big, fast, and a matchup nightmare. you don't give away guys like that. on top of that youre trading a prospect to get back an awful pick. who does this help? we're not even cap strapped we have enough money to sign half a roster this offseason.

im undecided on the mcleoud trade, idc if we trade him tbh, i'm unsure if cole is the guy to package him for. Maybe, hes certainly having a fine year</div></div>

For me Mueller, Wood and McLeod all are players that we expected more from in the past. Sometimes it's just time to get behind something and that's why I'd trade all of them. But I agree with you: We are not forced (financially and all other aspects) to make any of those moves.

And if you look at my ACGM I've got 3 rookies/young players with very little experience in our bottom 6 and that's also very unlikely to happen.
