At least it's somewhat better than trading John Gibson and Rickard Rakell for Tyler Biggs. And at least Jake Debrusk became an NHLer. Plus, didn't you guys also get Brandon Carlo in that draft as well?

Stevie Y gives Ho-Sang a shot
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>aedoran</b></div><div>Perlini was traded for because of injuries and Yzerman needed players that could at least keep up and he is no longer with the team. St. Louis traded for DLR for much of the same reason injuries and DLR is a solid player that can play in all defensive situations. Fabbri's career had stalled mostly from injuries and lack of confidence stemming from those injuries. At no point was he black listed by the Blues. For whatever reason Ho-Sang has. I don't know why or who's really at fault and for this discussion it doesn't really matter. Yzerman's history has shown he stays away from players in these types of situations. With a young locker room I don't see him taking this chance. Ho-Sang's play may have made him the type of player Yzerman like but his off ice issues over shadow that. I did say I'm not against Ho-Sang in Detroit but I just don't think it will happen.</div></div>
That's completely fair. Idk, I just thought it was an Yzerman style move to trade for a player who hasn't been given the opportunity to succeed on other teams.

I'd like to give Ho-sang a try but the chances of yzerman doing it are slim to none that he makes it to Detroit.</div></div>
I think Josh Ho-Sang is an Yzerman type pickup not because he has personality issues or whatever, but because he has plenty of talent but the team that owns his rights refuses to play him in the NHL, or give a fair chance. Players like this were Fabbri and Perlini.

That could maybe work. You might need to add another good piece like another pretty good prospect or a young solid NHLer. I think the trade would be hard to make if you don't include one of Suzuki or KK, but honestly it's kind of hard to see what values could work as we haven't even seen Laf play yet.

I was just about to type "no way the rangers trade laf" until I saw the description lol.
But seriously, think you might need to add more nice pieces to the laf trade like maybe a young guy like Suzuki or Norlinder, and also add another first and more picks.

PLD and going for it
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Gofnut999</b></div><div>That’s all kinds of no.
Krejci does not waive for CBJ. Not taking Dubinsky. Remove those 2 pieces. Boston accepts, maybe. CBJ, not so sure.
Jalmy offers very little, decent shot blocker. About it. Rather have Zboril.
I like Foligno. But Ritchie can do the same thing, younger and cheaper. If he does there is no need for B’s to do this. If he doesn’t, no need for Minny too.</div></div>
No offense, but I hate it whenever people say that "this player wouldn't waive" or "why would this guy waive to go to this team". It annoys me because all the trades on cap friendly are supposed to be hypothetical. There's not a big chance of even the trades that make the most sense actually happening. It's just annoying because the entire point of armchair gm is for people to just share their random ideas. I think it would only make sense to say "this player doesn't waive" if it's super obvious and there's absolutely no way it would happen. And even then, sometimes players still waive their clauses in reality. Like I would've never guessed Zach Parise would ever waive his clause until last year's deadline. I know this was kind of random, and I agree with the rest of your points, I'm just pointing out something that bothered me since I joined this site.

if stepan gets a 2nd from ottawa then
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>HabsForEver</b></div><div>Tell me how Sergechev is the better player. He's extremely sheltered and is extremely one dimensional; A major concern when he was drafted and has barely improved in that area whatsoever. Drouin has been dissapointing, but injuries have also stopped him from breaking out (This year is a prime example). Neither player has done what they were expetected too. I'm not saying Montreal won, I'm just saying that Tampa didn't either.
Former 70 PT player who has done it once and is a consistent 50 PT player. He had a great breakout season here in his first season with Montreal, but he doesn't have an identity. He wants to be a center, but can't take draws and is wildly inconsistent to ever become a top 6 center in the league. He's a winger that doesn't want to play wing. It's exactly like Galchenyuk. They are in a very similar spot. Domi tries to play physical, but at 5'10 192 LBS, he doesn't have enough strength to actually play like he wants. At the end of his tenure in Montreal, he was playing on the 4th line, he simply didn't fit here and hopefully he finds himself in a better position in Columbus, let's also point out the fact that he signed a 2 year deal that walks him straight into FA so CBJ is likely losing him for nothing. Something Bergevin didn't want to risk.
I don't know why everybody brings up Anderson's point totals. That's not what he is here to do. He's here to bring energy to the team while being a physical player and changing the momentum of the game. His career high is 47 points and 27 goals, which for a PWF is very good numbers. Everybody applauses Anthony Mantha for being such a good PWF, but Anderson brings the exact same skill set and out scores Mantha. There's bias there, but it's ok.</div></div>
Are we talking about another player here? I have watched some Tampa Bay games (not just the playoffs) and Sergachev isn't a one dimensional player. He's made defensive plays and helped get Tampa possession of the puck lots of times. Also I don't know if it's being extremely sheltered or just being on the same defense as two other stud defensemen in McDonaugh and Hedman. Also, when those defenseman were injured during the playoffs, Sergachev stepped up and Tampa still won games. As for Drouin, sure injuries haven't been the kindest to him, but his time to improve is shortening rapidly. He's a very one dimensional player and only has a career high 52 points. And I also think Sergachev took massive strides to improve his defense this year as well as provide offense. IMO, Sergachev is clearly the better player and one of Yzerman's best trades.
As for Domi, I think he's bound to evantually find a role that works for him and whatever team provides that to him. Sure he's inconsistent, but whenever my team plays against him and he's on, he's a pain to play against. I think you could've gotten a way better return than just Anderson. I don't think his contract is the greatest either (I was thinking just one year would be better), but Columbus was going to move Anderson, and getting a 3rd and Domi was a great return for the team.
Ok the point totals may be true, but that's what a player worth his salary is paid to do. Being physical and being annoying as well getting points is what a PWF is supposed to do. I like Anderson and think he's a good player, I just don't think that contract was a good contract for him based on what he brings to the team. Also, Mantha has a better PPG than him and I think Mantha could have a longer and very good season as long as he avoids fighting players so much as it gets him injured pretty often. Also, I don't know about you but Mantha looks a lot better than Anderson when he's on the ice. But then again, we haven't seen Anderson play yet, so it''s unfair to judge him when he hasn't even played on his new team, but on paper it's not a great contract IMO.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>HabsForEver</b></div><div>How was Drouin for Sergechev awful? That's an opinion with no facts to back it up. Both players haven't achieved what they were set to do. Tampa would've won a cup with or without Sergechev.
Alzner signing was awful yes. That's 1.
Domi for Anderson was questionable yet neither have even played a single game for their team. Every Bergevin win has been questionable until he wins. That doesn't count. Also the contract doesn't count because like I said, he hasn't played a single game in a Habs uniform yet.</div></div>
Ok, what you just said about the Drouin trade is extremely biased. Mikhail Sergachev is clearly the better player and if you can’t recognize that I probably can’t change your mind.
As for Josh Anderson, that’s a fair point. It’s too early to call, but so far, I don’t understand why they would add a pick as well as a former 70 point player that could probably do it again. The Anderson signing is too early to call, and I’ll be the first to call Bergevin a genius if it actually works. But 5 million for a guy that had a career high of 40 points is not a good deal. And that’s not even mentioning the injuries he had this past season. I’ll repeat that it’s too early to call it, and I would be willing to change my mind about it, but so far it’s not looking good.
