Thread: What I would like to see
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>drmantalban</b></div><div>Def agree with the idea of a cheap RH depth forward for the exact reasons you suggested. Makes too much sense given the low risk (especially if it’s a 1 year).

The Dvorak of package is a tad rich for my blood, but I also think it’s probably accurate to market. Any less may be a losing package.

We’re in a weird spot as a team.</div></div>

Dvorak trade seems like it would be fine removing 1 piece from it but tbh I have no idea what Arizona is trying to do long-term. They're clearly taking on bad contracts with a year left to collect picks, but are they entering a full-on rebuild? Seems that way with them shipping out Kuemper.

Edit: as far as the team posted, I don't hate it. It seems reasonable and it would be a better team than they iced last year so who knows what they'd end up doing. Guessing that's what Kaprizov signs for, but sadly I'd bet on it only being 3 years at that AAV.

Makes sense.

I didn't read that the same way. I read it as he didn't feel he was playing very well and Shero took a chance on him. I'd think he more meant a guy like Keith Yandle coming off of a buyout or something.

Guerin has stressed looking for players of character and developing the team's culture. Believe whatever you want about DeAngelo, but nothing that was reported makes him sound like a guy Guerin would chase after.

Thread: (NYI/DET) - Leddy for Pánik & 2021 2nd round pick
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SweetRevenge19</b></div><div>Any chance Leddy is traded immediately after the expansion draft? Essentially another team buying a protected slot from Detroit? If Stevie flips Leddy for a 1st next week, he’s playing chess while everyone else is playing checkers.

Or maybe there’s a handshake agreement with Lou to send Leddy back to NYI at the deadline in exchange for a 2022 2nd?

Or maybe since Leddy would’ve led DET defenseman in scoring last season, he fills a need on LD while providing PP usefulness and a solid veteran pairing for Seider, before recouping that 2nd at next deadline.

Also, the 2nd that followed Panik from Washington for DET to take him basically follows him to NYI.

Or you could look at it as NYR paid DET a 2nd for a useful year of Marc Staal which they then flipped for a useful year of Nick Leddy.

NYI gets cap space and expansion draft relief while Detroit gets a player more useful to them than a bottom six/replacement level forward and a player it likely feels can be traded at next deadline to recoup the draft assets.

It’s a WIN/WIN for both teams.

Quit pretending Yzerman got fleeced.</div></div>

None of us know what Yzerman's plan is so until we see what he's doing, it's pretty stupid to claim one side is a winner at this point. So many of these posts on trades age so poorly.
