Thread: Zegras
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NHLfan10506</b></div><div>D+2 season playing against younger competition. Hasn’t replicated in international or best-v-best. On smaller side.

But it’s not that I am low on Savoie…it’s just that I don’t think Zergras would be sold at a discount since he has run into injury troubles this year. Same reason Sabres fans wouldn’t accept a discounted return on Cozens this year.</div></div>

So what if it’s his D+2 season??
He’s absolutely killing it. Are all the other D+2 guys doing what he’s doing in juniors? I think not

I didn’t say this would do it to get Zegras
We shouldn’t want to target Zegras anyways
We’re already loaded at forward &amp; if we are gonna trade away any good prospects we have, it should be to fill specific roles/needs we have, not just bring in more of what we already have

Thread: What is the best deal for Tanev
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jets12Kozy</b></div><div>Don't see why sens would trade for him, also can't see Dallas offering stankoven</div></div>

Both Friedman and Dreger have reported the Sens being interested. Apparently, should he want to extend, they would bring him in this season to get used to the city and teammates so that they can hit the ground running next season.

He is the type of player they are looking for, a defensive def top 4 RD. Also a vet. The only downside is his age, but no one is signing him for 7-8 years.

They could also just be making him aware that they have interest to set some ground work for FA. But, they could also just not want to risk the FA market and make their play now.

I doubt he actually comes here, but I could see the interest from the Sens. And how many times have fans in here said "why trade away assets to get player x, when you can just get him for free in FA" Only to see that player sign an extension and never make it to FA.

Thread: Columbus
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jets12Kozy</b></div><div>What's the story behind all of the trade proposals for him lately?</div></div>

Others have said it before me here, but I'd just add that he (rightfully) believes he's an NHL player, yet gets called up only to get scratched when we're sending decidedly not-NHL-level defensemen out instead (mainly Peeke and Gudbranson). It's probably an MO from the FO to play Peeke in an effort to boost his value and move him (counterproductive), but it just reeks of incompetence and mismanagement. Jiricek told the press he should play in a refreshingly honest interview for a rightfully frustrated player, and the reaction on here specifically has been a ridiculous "he wants out!".

The management situation has become untenable overall, he's not the only player upset (Johnson faced similar issues, Elvis obviously didn't like being the 3G for a month). The overarching consensus is this management and coaching group gets canned well before we entertain ever moving Jiricek.
