Damn....

 

[Mighty Makar]

Boston, Vegas and Edmonton are also looking for C help.

Brother, I came of age watching Mike Bossy and Isles win 4 Consecutive Cups.

Bossy scored 17 goals in a playoff season for 3 consecutive years during that run- 51 goals in 3 playoff runs.

I remember they were my older brothers' and my favorite ream until I broke away in my own when the Stastny's came.

One of my best friends dad played old timers with Roddy Bossy for Midtown Tavern I Halifax. I had a few pu ts with Riddy when I was 20 ish.

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

It's gonna be Wennberg and this board will have the most mental of breakdowns and I will be a part of it.

 

[henchman21]

Fitzy working getting that unemployment.

Assuming his career will go exactly like Kadri's did is silly. The point I was trying to make is, that just being a "60 point" player isn't a horrible thing for a 2C on a bad team. We have the wingers to give the kid a ton of support.

I know you don't want to give up Bo in a trade because you want him to realizes his potential here. But if that's the piece we need to give up to fix our 2C problem, then we have to do it. No one (other than MacK and Makar) should be off the table if it means fixing the giant gaping hole on the team.

Girard isn't really an option because he doesn't have the value. He's seen around the league an a tiny defenseman and just went through the player assistance program.

Management just signed Toews to an extension, so he's obviously not going anywhere.

No team in their right mind would trade a young RFA for Manson.

Lehky could be another option, but he also just signed his new contract and is a swiss army type for this roster.

Nuke has killed his own value.

I also don't think management has any intentions on trading Mikko.

And the other forwards on the team just don't have any real value.

The way I see it. Bo, through a bunch of weird circumstances has just ended up as the odd man out. We also won't be able to afford his next contract. With Power getting $8m this season, and with the cap rising, I could see Bo going after $9m a season.

It's not really fair to say Mitts could become more than a 60 point center, because Kadri did one season, and then say it's silly to expect his career to go the same, when I point out it was his contact year.

I've been prepared for months now.

 

[Chibby]

It could always be worse I guess

 

[Bill Peckerskull]

I'm gonna say he ends up in NY.

If we trade for Wennberg I may need to go on vacation and leave @Frenchy in charge

 

[Foppa2118]

Why would it be concerning that we’d be adding a 60pt C who’s good defensively?

Because you're not adding a 60 point center asset free on a reasonable deal in UFA. You're giving up prime assets for one, and then have to re-sign him after just a few games and risk an overpayment.

 

[Pokecheque]

What about Stills or Nash?

Don't forget Young.

 

[BobRossColton]

Now we just need a mittelstadt scratched tweet..

It mean it could be worse...Could've been Kerfoot.

 

[henchman21]

Didn't want to get greedy.

They are really the same player just in different bodies.

Yea but Wennberg is 6'2

 

[ANewHope]

Wennberg as the 2C would be brutal. If it isn’t an Eller situation and it’s just one of a few moves I’m fine with it. I’ve already given up hope on a long term solution. Wennberg + Henrique puts us in a better spot than we’re at currently.

 

[Peter Peckerwood]

I hate the approach of Cmac seemingly being “If I can’t fu#! a 10, I’ll fu#! 5 twos.” No 2 C, but Kerfoot is definitely a 2/10.

Nah, it's more like if I can have a 10 (because I'm too cheap), I'll pay extra for a 2 if she's wearing lipstick

Give me mod-ship powers and I will nuke the entirety of HFAvs for ya. Pre-emptively saves the mods the trouble of banning us all anyways due to the amount of infractions we're probably gonna acquire this week.
