Thread: Finishing an Incredible Offseason
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mhan63</b></div><div>I agree on both points. Not that I would necessarily make the same trade, but if I had to trade 1 of our 3 young centers at this point, it would be Andersson.

As for Lindgren, with Skjei figuring to be here long term and assuming Miller reaches top-4 level, we have 1 spot on the left side undecided. Kids fighting for that job will be Lindgren/Hajek/Rykov/Reunanen/Robertson/etc. I can see Skjei being traded down the line if the kids start to outplay him, but that's still just 2 spots open on LD for all these promising kids. If I had to choose 1 young LD to be included in a trade, it'd be Lindgren.</div></div>



This is a good problem to have. Agreed with everything you said.

These trades are very fair too. We got too greedy with thinking every trade needs to be blind robbery. Move the pieces you need to now. The team is going to be fantastic. Set it up right for that LONG run at the cup.

Thread: The Future is NOW
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Spanky227</b></div><div>Kravtsov is a LW, not really a center. He shifted their for WJC and did well, but his natural position is LW.

With having Kakko, Kravtsov, and Buchnevich all preferring RW as left handed shots, I wouldn't sign Skinner, another left handed shot.
I also don't think that Strome should be the initial second line center. Give that to Chytil and let him lose it if he underperforms. Honestly this is probably what we should address after Panarin and RHD as we don't really have a 2nd line center

Our preference should be to obtain another right handed shot, both on offense and defense (we need to get rid of shattenkirk, he isn't a top pairing guy)
If we would be able to get rid of half of his cap, we could use the money spent on skinner to make a run for Karlsson (might be a mistake); however, I would prefer packaging Pionk with a pick and/or another player for a better RHD (my wishlist is trouba).

Rykov has played over 20 minutes per game in the KHL, I think he'll be ready for 2nd pairing on the left side (although he can play both).

Kreider should be traded-- he already said he wouldn't report without an extension in place and well, him not playing lowers his stock even more than him playing through his injury.


If we were to:
Sign Panarin
Trade for Trouba (and sign at 7.25)
Sign Duchene (worst case go back for Hayes on another short term deal, say 6.5m for 2 years)
Get rid of Shattenkirk &amp; Smith (we could package smith with vesey and take a lesser pick), buyout Staal

Panarin-Zibanejad-Kakko
Chytil-Duchene-Kravtsov
Lemieux-Strome-Buchnevich
Andersson-Howden- (**) **I would target Ho-Sang, Dal Colle, Duclair, Puljujarvi or another player thats boom or bust, wouldn't cost much in terms of trade or offer sheet**

Skjei-Trouba
Rykov-DeAngelo
(Hajek or Lindgren)-Fox</div></div>

You think they could work out a move sending Krieder up north for Trouba? (other pieces added as needed)
