When are you going to get it through your thick head that puck possession by itself is meaningless? What else you got?
Great, a downgrade at D and a downgrade at forward. Awesome trade!
Steve Downie has much more ability than BB. Problem is he's a knucklehead but he can
Play
Once more w/feeling:
McD + MDZ for 1st overall (=McKinnon) + Duncan Siemens
I see we are giving up McD. The sky will not fall. Siemens could be another Dougie Hamilton, partnered with McIlrath is bone crushing.
And the likelihood of otherwise getting a prospect of McKinnon's potential is very small.
The MDZ question is solved.
Even if you don't then do Staal for 5th +
and do a premium piece or couple of good pieces for 2nd overall to get Seth Jones,
even without further upgrade:
Staal Girardi
Moore Stralman
Siemens McIlrath
w/Noreau cup of coffee end of upcoming season, and Skjei the year after
Of course, we WILL move Staal + Girardi to get ahead of cap.
But McKinnon is THE play. NOW, while we have a chance!

McD is not going anywhere. And there's no way he's being traded for prospects. I don't care how highly rated they are. Not a chance.
so McKenzie was saying Richards is getting bought out for sure cause NY would be hit with a cap hit if he retires during the last few yrs where he gets 1 million
he obviously would retire and if gets concussed then the Rangers are screwed if they wait to but him out
so Brich is a goner...............remember when we were all excited when he signed
I go for Weiss while his value is low and resign Clowe for a short term deal

A guy with a bass
Even though many have doubts on whether he would or not, what sucks about the whole Richards situation is that we really need to buy him out NOW no matter if you feel he could contribute next year or not.

Only deal I see for 1st overall is Staal + Skjei + for 1st overall and Hejda.
Hagelin-MacKinnon-Nash
Kreider-Stepan-Zuccarello
Clowe-Brassard-Callahan
Pyatt-Boyle-Dorsett
McDonagh-Girardi
Del Zotto-Stralman
Moore-Hejda
Well, he got up to 56.4% in the regular season. If he keeps improving he could get into the Bergeron/Toews territory on draws.

He can play the position. But the point is that's the sort of center we should target if he's being traded for a center. Someone who is young and can grow with the younger core.
Otherwise, we have to delve into free agency again.

what do all 4 teams left have in common?
they were lottery pick teams and/or received top picks with offer sheets and got top picks..
we f***ed up by not sucking... oh glennnn if only and if only you didnt sign everyone back in the day we wouldnt be in this mess.. its amazing he's still here.. oh well..
should be an interesting off season.. plus watch the buyouts might be a player or 2 that may be worth bringing in..

Yes, I know. I meant to put Eminger in #6 but for some reason put Stone when I should've put Smith at 3C. I'm sorry.

ohhhhhh.
There actually is a defenseman named Stone (Coyotes org). All good. Was just kind of confused.
Smith would be an awesome grab, but I don't think he'd have a spot here with Boyle and Lindberg/Miller in the way. Unless he can play wing.
I feel like I am the only one who does not think MZA belongs in the bottom 6.. I'd say let him go to free agency and take the compensation from where he signs. Also resign Clowe to a 1 yr deal to see how he plays through a full year. Also trade guys like Powe/Boyle/Asham for picks and open up cap space. Take a shot at Bryan Bickell/Matt Hendricks
Hagelin Stepan Callahan
Kreider Brassard Nash
Clowe Miller Bickell
Pyatt Hendricks Dorsett
I think this adds size and grit, with a new coach I think that top 6 is capable and the bottom 6 is hard nosed and hard to play against.

Is Rob Scuderi being resinged by the Kings?
If we trade Del Zotto for a young forward, I'd go for him in FA.

You have to be kidding me. Not only will Zuccarello not get offersheeted, but we really do need to resign him. He's been a spark to the team, like Hagelin/Kreider last year. He also belongs in the top six more than Callahan. Cally would explode on a proper 3rd line that can score.
With them re-signing Regehr, Voynov and Muzzin stepping up and taking full on roles for them, he could be avaible. He would be a good 4/5 Dman.
