<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>csick</b></div><div>I know the player. But I’m giving you JBD one of our best RHD prospects. You don’t trade those easily . I’m not giving u 2 prospects we really value AND a 1st</div></div>

I have JBD stepping into our lineup next year. Sogard is a good goalie prospect but Philly needs a goalie. Jarventie is still young but we do not know if he's going to be an everyday NHL player yet. We still have our 2nd round pick. If Sens are not competitive next year, Dorion's out. It's been a 5 year rebuild already. Konecny is on a solid 5.5 mil for the next 4 years. He's a power forward who would be amazing in a playoff series and would fit in our identity. We need a top 6 forward who is at a reasonable cap with Jimmy Stu and Sanderson coming up! This would be a great deal for both teams.

Thread: TDL moves
Tierney might be helpful...but a 2nd is a big overpay for him. If they can get him for a 4th and 5th...or a 4th + a distant prospect (Gettinger?)- then go for it. Any more expensive than that and NYR should pass. One guy I would look at to fill the 3C void, though is McCann...if dealing with Seattle, that's the guy they should be looking at. For sure he'd be more expensive, but he's still RFA after this year- so if they can't extend him (and they probably wont be able to) they should be able to move him and get a little value back- so he's not really a pure rental.

As far as the Gio move- I'd stay away, and certainly wouldn't burn a 1st rounder on a pure rental -who they'd have no intention to keep. A simple move to help the D: put Zac Jones on 3rd pair with Schneider...and hold onto Nemeth as veteran D depth- then move him after the season.

Thread: Wont happen but interesting idea
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Ottawasean</b></div><div>Spezza is a really good add and the Leafs should go for him - BUT - he is not a 4th line player. He has never been a D-minded guy (and has some liabilities there). Unless you aren’t putting out a checking / shut down line, he belongs on 3rd line. Gauth may not be the perfect fit but he is more of a D zone guy and faceoff guy than Spez</div></div>

The leafs dont use their 4th line as a checking line. They barely even play at 5v5. Spezza would be primarily there for pp2 and hes been extremely successful on the 4th line this season. When hes been forced to play 3c hes looked quite rough. Hes never been a great skater but hes also in his late 30s so hes not suited to play with kapanen and Engvall who are both extremely fast
