Thread: Just a run at a DET team
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Tjm220</b></div><div>Not only is that not enough for Eichel, you want a second round pick back. The number of picks in this trade proves that Detroit does not have the assets to even think about Jack Eichel. Buffalo isn’t looking for lottery tickets in return for their best player, they want bodies. Not just anyone, but guys who are going to help them right now and make an impact.</div></div>

If you think that even "immediate" bodies are keeping BUF a trade away from being competitive, you are not looking at this evenly. Not only has BUF been a bad team, they have nearly zero real prospects considering how bad they have been. This is not a team that needs to re-tool, they need to burn it all down. The trade above upgrades their prospect pool immensely even if you discount the 3 picks in the top 40 choices including a top 5 pick.

Thread: 2021-22 PENS
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Pensfan89</b></div><div>I think this is pretty solid...however I think Poulin and Legare are untouchable. I think Riikola for them to take Zucker is fair. I mean Zucker is still a much better option than most of what will be available. I’d also do without the Carter trade and Danault signing. Mostly because I doubt Danault wants to be a 3C. I think he wants to go somewhere that he can be a top 6. If Danault signed a 1 yr deal somewhere else, Malkin went back to russia after his current deal, then I could see the pens going after Danault. So we’d essentially need Carter for next year and since he has been great, don’t see a need to trade him either. I also think a 4 year deal for Blueger for 2-2.5 mil is more fair for him. And it keeps that ZAR-Blueger-Tanev line together and they become free agents all at once. After those minor tweaks, I feel everything would be perfect.</div></div>
