Thread: New path needed
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TJTwolf</b></div><div>For a '25 6th if there is nothing else left on the table then maybe the Avs do that at the TDL but they're more likely to use any cap space on a move for someone to shore up the C position and whilst Drouin has played C in the past I don't think he's a good ebt for the 2C slot. He's more likely to be a UFA gamble in the off season if at all.</div></div>

For sure and I think the Habs would prefer to use their limited retention spots on something more substantial than just for getting a 6th, but if its 3:59 pm on trade deadline day and nothing else is happening for either team, why not? Drouin will almost certainly be no better for the Avs than he is now but there is just enough raw talent that maybe just maybe he finds a different gear on a team with the talent like the Avs.

Thread: Leveraging Cap Space
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>HOCKEYBOY448</b></div><div>Personally I don’t think Kane helps the team or is the right fit. In an fantasy world we make a huge deal for Stamkos (again fantasy) who can score goals and move from the center to right wing spot as needed and actually be able to play decent defense and not be a liability out there. For that move I’d be willing to trade a lot for him (favorite player as well, so biased there). Rangers need a winger that can score. I don’t see Kane filling that role, he’d just be another Panarin and be a liability on defense, which is something we need less of not more of.</div></div>

Hmmm, of the players that might actually be available, Tarasenko sounds more like what you are describing as a need. But he has injury issues but is also cheaper in cap hit and assets to give up ... I am sure Kane would not hurt the Rangers but sometimes the fit is not there even with great players
