Thread: Plugging Holes
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>dannibalcorpse</b></div><div>Here's the thing though - you're trading Mayfield at the deadline if you're out of playoff contention, not if you're primed to make a run. If the goal is to return to contention this year, and nothing Lou or Lane has said has made anyone think otherwise, you either keep Mayfield or you trade him over the summer so you're able to find your replacement and integrate them into your lineup during training camp.

Puljujarvi is an elite play driver and that follows him around even when he's not skating with McDavid or Draisaitl. If you're moving Josh Bailey this summer (fingers crossed) getting a more play driving forward that's younger &amp; cheaper would be an excellent way to replace him. If it means that you're either seeing way more Grant Hutton than you anticipated next year, or signing a UFA like Justin Braun to take over RD3 from Mayfield, I think it still makes sense.</div></div>

My thinking was, with Pulock and Dobson on the Right hand side, someone like Mayfield could be on the way out to get something back. Idk if Mayfield can play the left side. I also kinda assumed Bailey would be on his way out of town and like Pool Party seems like the type of player the Isles would like to have. He's young and still has a lot of potential and I can't really see Edmonton bringing him back so that was the base of the trade. NGL I shoulda take out Panik I kinda added him to flip him in another trade I ended up scrapping. Bellows and a 2nd bcuz player and pick? Again value wasn't what I was going for it was more whats the right fit
