Thread: Yes Murray to SJS
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Yojimbo</b></div><div>But you are assuming that Murray would be willing to sign a deal specifically in order to get picked by Seattle.

You could also just expose LaBanc and be in the exact same boat (No Murray or Labanc)

Blueger getting picked would not be a major loss.</div></div>

Well he is an RFA so he doesn’t really have much of a choice.

I’d rather go into the playoffs next year with 2 quality starters in case one gets hurt or goes into a slump rather than have DeSmith as a backup.

A quality, cheap, young fourth line center who has been solid and adds a little bit of scoring touch would be pretty bad for the pens to lose. Unless Hallander comes up and is ready by then, but as of right now that’d be a significant loss.

Thread: Move with Sharks
I don’t think either team does this trade.
Reason for the pens is that if they are going to have their backup make almost 6 million then they might as well keep murray as he is much better than Jones. And only having Bjugstad for 1 year who should be easy to trade even for a mid-late round pick rather than taking on a 4-5 year almost 6 million cap dump. Simon is the cheap forward for the bottom 6 that we kinda need.

The sharks don’t do it cause under no circumstances should they trade Hertl unless they get an absolute kings ransom. He’s young, good, and on a phenomenal contract. They should try to get out of Burns, Vlasic, Karlsson contracts if they are going to take an L on a contract. Jones might be bad, but I’m sure the sharks could also take the L on him and trade him for like a 7th to a team like NJ who could use a vet that can jump in as a possible starter but be backup to Blackwood at first.

If SJ can get out of that Jones contract without retention or buyout, I’d say something like Murray for Leblanc and mid round pick might be more likely. Or just for a 1st.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>F3ruS</b></div><div>Don't tell me dude, i'm really mad at him...(the Vasi contract almost 10 mill $ extension was nothing compared to this)
I wrote long posts about our GM and his lack of aquiring D-mens in this last 10 days in other threads...
It's painful... Now we have to rely on Rutta. Who chicago fans said are horrible.
Same with Schenn, and unfortunately, Coburn's contract is an albatross now...
Praying that Hedman will be injury free whole playoffs...

Our D-core in shambles because of injuries(like last years playoffs) and yes, that's the best he could do other than the panic move to get Goodrow...
I don't get it and probably i will never will understand this trade. I don't think anyone though we needed another forward... We had Verheaghe playing well + Stephens... If injury, we could rely on Joseph...
Yes if 10 injuries, then we were in trouble on the forward front, but the season is done anyways at that point---&gt; check Columbus

Couple years ago we got JT miller + McDonagh in a package, that was so sweet, i wanted something similar.

from :sharks :
Like Goodrow + Thornton + Dillon in a package for a 1st+ 2nd+prospect

from :ducks :
Grant + Manson in a package for like 2x1st round picks + 1 prospect etc...(if Manson if super expensive)

from :senators :
Ennis+Namestnikov+Borowiecki in a package deal for a 1st

Gustaffson/Dillon/Demelo all good options you are right, he missed on all of them. Namestnikov for a 3rd round would have been also insane pickup... Colorado got him(my 2nd fav team ) for a lot less... Easy to outbid them... With the way we go allin this year...

I would have rather payed more for a defender, than for any forward after the Coleman trade...
Well that's life, fingers crossed we can still beat your team come playoffs time. 4-3 tampa, my current guess, if i were a betting man.
I'm sure you thinking the same, except opposite results, hahaaa... :cheers

At least your gm did the same bad thing(from my POV): trading away a middle6 useful guy Kahun for questionable pieces coming back.
What's your opinion about that trade? Good/bad? Is Kahun done for the year or what?</div></div>

Ughhh don’t remind me that my gm made that trade. Everyone is saying it was cause Kahun was pricing himself out. I keep telling people that he is an RFA and that bridge can be crossed in the offseason. The guy was on fire on the second line before he got concussed. Going for a cup run, you don’t trade a 2nd liner for two guys that were healthy scratches at points on buffalo 😂. I don’t see Rodrigues even being in the top 12 when ZAR gets back (provided no more injuries). I can’t see Sheary being in it if Bjugstad ever gets back either. Seemed like the Panarin for Saad trade except with lesser players lol.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Ledge_And_Dairy</b></div><div>At 5M sure, at 1.3 hes better then Johnson</div></div>

What does Johnson have to do with anything? Having a bad defenseman on your team regardless of price is bad lol.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Chopper02</b></div><div>Disagree. He is a very good defensive defender. He didn't justify the 5 mil price tag due to lack of offense. But the guys is a very good defenseman and adds lots of grit on that back end. Something needed for the playoffs.</div></div>

No he isn’t a very good defensive defender. When on the ice his team consistently gets out chanced, out shot, and out scored. That’s not being good defensively. He is terrible at driving possession. And isn’t a very good skater either.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SmugTkachuk</b></div><div>It’s a pro rated contract at the deadline without giving up anything at all, it’s a really good deal for a team that can’t have enough d men going into the playoffs.</div></div>

Can’t have enough decent defenseman* If Tampa can’t have enough defensemen, then they wouldn’t mind trading a 4th round pick for JJ.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>matulix</b></div><div>I dont know why are people so mad about this signing. We got our needed depth RHD without giving up any assets. Good signing imo.</div></div>

I’m not mad. I’m happy that an east contender that my team may have to face in the playoffs just signed a slug. Lol
