If it comes down to dealing Timmins or Graves, I'm guessing we hang on to Timmins due to his status as a rightie. Yes, we have Helleson and Barron, but both are a year minimum away from being NHL ready, if ever. Given that Sakic moved Cole for a right shot D, I would guess that Gravy would be the most expendable defenseman if another one gets moved.
That said, ain't no way Graves gets the conversation started for Dubois, no matter how desperate Jarmo gets. I'm talking about a move for a 3C, not pipe dreams about PLD.
Yeah it kinda feels like a numbers game with Timmins at this point, doesn't it?
Short term he's probably on the outside looking in, with Byram in the mix. Long term, he's too talented to be a third pairing guy, with Byram, Girard, Makar, and Toews ahead of him.
Not saying they'll trade him for Dubois. But, if Sakic does make some kind of splash this season, I don't think it'll be a huge shock if Timmins is involved.
