Thread: This Jones Trade makes sense
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>The_Cannon</b></div><div>Or keep your players under 22. And move the older guys like Jones and werenski but keep guys who add to a positive environment like bjorkstrand and Atkinson. Add to your younger core. Just because your trading a 26 year old doesn’t mean your gonna be in a long rebuild. I’m missing the logic here. You don’t have to pull a sabers and literally trade everything not strapped down. Look at how that does. No leadership established and young guys flounder in the wind.</div></div>

If you’re rebuilding Atkinson (31) and Bjorkstrand (26) are the first to go.

CBJ was bad this year but they’re very young still. They’re committed to Laine so they need to find him a C. Jones wanting out is a blessing. He’s bad but his reputation around the league should get you that center. That’ll be a massive offensive boost. The back end will need some work but Werenski is very good so there’s a building block. A quality D addition to replace Jones and they’re well on their way to getting back to the postseason.

Thread: No Hockey In Winter Is The WORST
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Tmclean64</b></div><div>Is there really that much of a difference though? I mean just taking a look at it:

Montreal Toronto - Doesnt change

Tampa, Boston, Florida are good teams.
Van, Calgary, Edmonton are good teams too but probably arent as high end as Boston-Tampa is.

Buffalo got better and isnt much worse than Winnipeg right now.

Id say its close to a wash because Tampa is the best team of the bunch and theyre out, but Buffalo is the worst and theyre out.

I think its worse for the Pacific teams. Ducks, Kings, Sharks, Coyotes out, Jets, Leafs Habs, Ottawa in is a much worse tradeoff.</div></div>

Yes all the Canadian Teams improved and made the playoffs. Detroit isn’t that good, Florida took a step back and don’t have much besides their first line on forward. Buffalo’s strategy is boom or bust it could really backfire tbh. So I could see Ottawa finishing as high as 5 in the Atlantic but I wouldn’t bet on it. But at least there’s a chance
