Barry Trotz is such a shitty GM lmao.

You trade Luke Schenn as a package to get Michael Bunting and a 4th only for Pittsburgh to turn around and flip Schenn for a 2nd and 4th to Winnipeg.

One of two things can be drawn from this conclusion

1) Trotz is an idiot

2) Trotz for some reason really, really liked Michael Bunting and preferred him and a 4th rather than the package Pittsburgh got for Schenn, which is really just a long way of saying the above lmao.

Sweeney doesn't have the ability to pull off what he needs to. Unsure if it's, hubris, intestinal fortitude or ownership hindering him but I really have no hope that he'll commit to the future.
 
^This right here. I know people want to see a ton of moves because it’s the TDL, but guys like Carlo & Coyle don't need to be moved today. The list of teams that could take them is far greater in the off-season than it is today.
You don’t get as much in the off season especially when they can grab a player in FA. It seems the prices are good right now for sellers.
 
I think Donnie missed the boat on a seller's market, and if he does I think he should be removed.

He's delusional about this team's chances next year with that forward group.

As for Draft Day deals, Donnie's best work has always been the deadline. There was the Zacha/Haula swap but otherwise, his body of work over the summer (including free agency) has been poor.
 
Maybe the flip one first. I can't see them being happy giving up NECAs+ for Stankoven. They are supposed to be a contender, draft picks mean nothing right now.
I saw this elsewhere on social media but somebody pointed out Stankoven is such a Canes/Rod the Bod type player it hurts.

infinite motor type guy who works his ass off for all 200 feet of the ice with skill to match. Carolina is happy with this.

Ya but the list of teams that would want them will shrink.

Teams are overpaying cause they think they have a shot at the cup now.

Prices coming back be less u ask me because they are trying to win Cup right now.If I had to guess, Sweeney reputation hurts him of taking less paying more.Teams wait him out thinking he will cave ,thus no movement.Anyhow regardless,he should have Marchand signed before deadline ends .He should have learned from Swayman situation that he caused so signing him should be expected by Bruins fans.
 
Not sure Rantanen fit CAR style, buy overall Necas/Drury for Stankoven/Hall/1st/1st/3rd/3rd that is pretty good.
