Thread: One Or Two More Trades For W Deadline
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>LuckyMoneyPuck</b></div><div>you're wrong on all of that.
You keep thinking they "have" to move him. They don't if they don't get what they want they will just hold him.
Believe me, a late 1st, taking on a cap dump and a low level prospect isn't missing anything to help the team.
Fact is they already have offers, he's most likely going to VGK. The delay in the trade being announced I think is more respect to JR who they are giving time to.
You are just angry that you can't get him for nothing. You think you should be able to fleece other teams just because you think you're so special. But it doesn't work that way and your attitude of "they have to" will always end up with you being disappointed in the fact that teams don't "have" to do anything. They aren't the ones still in the race for a cup trying to keep up with other teams.
If anything it's the opposite.
The window in NY is closing with Panarin and Kreider both turning 33 next year. You're high round picks in Kakko and Lafrenière don't look capable of carrying a team.
So you can either go for it, spend the assets and improve your chances... or just fizzle out.
Believe me as a Pens fan I get this, they emptied the cupboards in order to win, and got 2 cups out of it.
So when you say, so and so is untouchable, and they will never do that, you are basically saying, you aren't all in on an aging core that has what 1-2 years left to win.
OK cool, good luck with that. Hope your rebuild after not winning anything goes well, as Othmann isn't going to carry the team any better than Kakko or Lafrenière is.
But you need to learn that with a wasted year on an aging core.</div></div>

so kakko is a cap dump got it.....and sykora is a low level prospect, he was a 1st round pick for crying out loud...got u

at least we aren't rebuilding with elite 35-37 year olds on the team like some dumb teams and gm
