I'd absolutely prefer Pete over Miller. Having Necas, Pete and Makar all in their mid 20's makes this core a lot younger, and extends our window.

I'll always link him and Lundqvist to Bowman's plan to rebuild the Hawks on the fly.

So pickup Boqvist and trade Malinski. #AssetManagement
Colton isn't going to waive for Utah. Turn that into a three team trade where you don't tell NJ you're flipping the assets for Crouse.
Crouse actually wouldn't be THAT difficult to get I think. He's having on off year as far goal scoring. The season is halfway gone, and he's only put up 7.
Goals are not the only thing that dude does though obviously.

I don’t want to sound like a broken record, but Crouse is exactly the type of player we need.
Big body, net front animal, deflections/screens/tips/rebounds. The thing is, he can actually skate and has speed to play within our style.
There aren’t many players like that.

One that can stay healthy and score sometimes?
Send Colton to NJ, use assets for Crouse. Cmac likes fixing his f*** ups. I just solved it for him.
Edit..
Having Crouse, Nuke and Lehhky on the top three lines would be akin to Landeskog, Nuke, Lehhky.
Landeskog then becomes a true luxury piece.

But who do we replace him with? Colton maybe? They make about the same money.

If you could swing a deal for Crouse, I would approach every single team in the league and accept the best offer for Val Nichushkin.
Yeah I'm not a Colton hater by any means but I would love to move his roster spot/salary to Crouse.
No, you start with Colton. Just the chance of having both is worth it.
Crouse is making 4.3M

What does Utah even want/need? Picks and prospects? I thought they want to compete soon?
What is Crouse’s value? $4.3m x 3y and 20+ goals for the past 3 seasons straight.

You make it sound like he has negative value; that’s not the case.
Utah don’t need to retain salary and don’t need to take on a $2.5m AAV fourth liner.
Hey, i'm naturally curious. Gotta ask haha.You make it sound like he has negative value; that’s not the case.
Utah don’t need to retain salary and don’t need to take on a $2.5m AAV fourth liner.
Would take more then that for sure.
Crouse isn't a cap dump. I do think his value probably isn't where it was because he is having a pretty bad year. But that size and skating combination combined with his past seasons will still mean teams would pay decent value for him.
I think something like Colton + one of our 2nds would be reasonable return. Colton carries a similar cap hit and similar production in that 20G/40 point range and also plays pretty physical himself. But doesn't have the size and is a year older.
Colton does have the versatility of being able to play C or Wing...
I dunno, I think they're fairly close in value tbh. Maybe we'd get a late pick back with Crouse for Ross + 2nd. Like a 5th or 6th or something. The CMac special.
