<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>herzausstein</b></div><div>I could see it working if they took McDonagh as a legit part of the payment and he was willing to go there. Maybe chychrun and Josi could pair up and chychrun long term replaces josi but outside of that? We have too much tied up in LHD at the moment and it isnt a place in dire need of an upgrade like other areas of the team.

Lauzon wont be traded either. Brings too much that management/coach likes in grit/hits especially to be traded out for a guy that doesnt hit at all.</div></div>

Yeah, without McDonagh in NSH, it's more realistic for the Preds. It's hard to imagine him willing to be traded there though. Then when you think about how willing would OTT be to trade Chychrun for a more expensive, much older replacement, not to mention how do they make room for McDonagh's cap hit without a lot of other moves - I think it's too unrealistic for the Sens now.

Maybe the Devils would be interested in Chychrun? Their left side isn't the strongest.

Thread: 2024 Offseason
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>herzausstein</b></div><div>Agreed. Swayman's size would also help too. Even though saros has excelled over the years at 5'11" people still worry about his size and as he ages and loses speed that actually might begin to become more of an issue. 3 years younger and 6'2" Swayman would probably get a bigger haul but i doubt Boston would ever consider trading him.</div></div>

Which is why I expect NJD to simply pay a standard 2025 1st+sweetener package for Ullmark.

The hope with swayman comes from the history of guys who go through the arbitration process. They rarely stay long term if they don't have a long term contract done that offseason. (80% are gone within 2 years)

One of the rare exceptions comes from Nashville in Weber, but he signed an offer sheet with another team, so I wouldn't exactly count him as "staying"
