Thread: Well then
Interesting approach. I like the clean sheet of draft assets, but believe you've sold yourself short on at least 2 if not 3 of these deals. On the Klinger deal I see you're making room for Pietrangelo, but debatable if straight up for Nylander is worth it. Similar debate on Rads deal. Contracts on both could force both teams to add pieces to balance them for both. I like the Faksa trade. Comeau deal may be a little light, but I wouldn't be necessarily upset if it went down.

Couple other flaws you might run into - Honka won't be an option as he wants out. Hope is we can get a draft asset for him at this point. Additionally, you'd be forcing some youth into the lineup pretty quickly at fwd, which may end up being a necessity given revenue challenges, but would certainly put risk there until guys like Robertson, L'Espy (if returns), Kiviranta solidify their roles. Domingue isn't my favorite back-up option either, but understood options will be limited there.

Thread: Defence wins championships
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Francez</b></div><div>I’d be fine with your Oettinger suggestion. I put him there cause I felt he was very close to being ready and can learn from bishop but I’d be okay with your idea. I also think Harley will be ready. He looked fantastic in the pre season this year and I think he’ll make the jump this season</div></div>

I agree Harley is close. He was our best D in preseason. Conflicted on how they’ll approach. Normal circumstances I’d think they ease in alongside a depth D to support the learning curves of the league. But, this yr is different with how teams are having to overcome the revenue losses, so could see teams like Dallas forced to go younger with current assets vs. spending in free agency. Good thing is we’re positioned pretty well either way.

Doesn’t work for me. Marner deal wouldn’t work for either team. Feel like you’re giving Dickinson away for free. Forces Dellandrea and Harley into bigger roles than they may be ready for, etc.

I know I’ve mentioned possibility of having to go younger and with more internal options than usual vs free agency due to revenue losses, but feel like this could be forcing too many dynamics to change in one offseason.

Having said that, lot of new territory upon us, so could see some things we’d likely not typically expect from a number of teams including Dallas.
