Which makes him a commodity.
Again, if they get Hanifin, and want to explore options Carlo might bring back and good return.

She was tough I got hit by a pitch in little league I might have been 8 and she told me to stop crying and rub some dirt on it
I was about 15 or so and didn’t cut this small area of grass off to the side of the garden - and she was sitting on the patio having iced tea with a couple of our neighbor gals, and she says ‘Danny you missed that spot. I said, ‘no I didn’t there were a bunch of bees there I didn’t want to get stung’
She just looks at me and in disgust says ‘you’re such a wimp’
That’s my mother
Thank God Gordon Howe mother wasn’t there to call me out as soft and go off on a rant
that team also had Hall and Bertuzzi on the wings, and Orlov on the back end. It had enough talent is other areas to make up for the fact that the center depth was not very good with Bergeron and Krejci out. This current team has none of that.
If you add Hanifin and then also add a legit top 6 winger that pushes JVR down to the third line and Heinen down to the 4th line permanently, then maybe we're in business. But we don't have the assets to make two big additions like that, and the team seems unwilling to give Lysell a chance to be that top 6 addition. Beecher could also be that FO and PK specialist that Nosek was, but he's in Prov too.

Agreed there is no mandate to trade either one but, while Hanifin is talented he’s not exactly Chris Pronger.
If people are comfortable with a very soft 2-5 group in Hanifin, Carlo, Lindholm,Lohrei….I won’t try to convince you otherwise.
I’d just feel better with McAvoy, Hanifin, one of Carlo or Lindholm, Lohrei and two physical guys to round out the top 6.

he seems more of a luxury for vancouver. in boston, he's centering the top line. right now he's a checking center.
but it depends on his asking price. the guy supposedly wants 8-9M which is a no go.

We just better not be trading away the 26 1st. That draft is setting up for some generational talent again. We may not be very good by then. Not bottom of the barrel bad but non playoff potential

Trade Deadline Notes: Hanifin, Markstrom, Guentzel
On yesterday evening's rendition of 'Saturday Headlines' on Sportsnet, Elliotte Friedman spoke at length about several rumblings across the league …

I couldn't do that....if that state was Fla, Ari, I would not be able to live there
and I was making 7M and taking home 4.5 M I think I could live pretty well on that
Much like almost anywhere, Florida is a lovely place to live if you are very wealthy.
I wouldn't want to live in Tampa or Miami. But if I was taking home 5 million a year, I'd love to live in either. Same is true of texas, heck even California.
DeBrusk is worse. He tries to act like some sophisticated professor trying to smooth talk himself to the media .
no where in the south for me......the p word.....humidity....temp....i like to go fishing and not worry about aligators....i want to go for a walk and not die sweating....i like fall......no no no to the south...above 75 and I am done

If I was any prominent player who was going to make a ton of money I would be happy to be able to support an education, health care and public services for folks who need it.
Serious question.....
We can't play kids because they are not ready.....Merk, Lysell, Lohrei I hear isn't ready, Poitras should not be playing, Regula not ready.....so any player we draft or is young is basically not allowed to play until they are 24-25...so why are we worried about draft picks when they are probably going to suck anyways, and not even get a chance until mid 20s (don't Poitras me - many people think he shouldn't be playing anyway)
Isn't a known commodity better than a crap shot that is 4-5 years away, that we probably won't give a chance to anyway

Question: Has Lysell's body developed enough to handle the punishment of NHL play? No guarantee either way but underdeveloped body (muscle mass/core strength) leaves one susceptible to upper body injury (shoulder). It could be he has the talent but he is not physically ready ... so they don't want to risk his development.

IMO what we need is
#1 C
#1/2 Winger
Defensive/Physical Defensemen
Defensive Structure
Teammates that care about one another
Guys that will hit in a dump and chase scenario
Guys that understand that the game is 3 periods instead of 1 or 2.

You can also add about 15 million in cap space to the need list.
