Where I stand on Dubas will largely fall on what he does in the next few weeks. If he sits on guys like Rakell to keep the "room" happy, that will show that neither he nor the organization have changed learned anything regarding the importance of asset management. Right now, Rakell's value should be at an all time high. If he has a great offer sitting on his desk and he's afraid to pull the trigger because of optics.... This franchise will be doomed for foreseeable future.

I don't think Dubas will hesitate to trade anyone he's getting a good offer for. It's just a question of whether he gets a good offer.

Looking around at teams who could trade for Karlsson, I legitimately think that Ottawa makes sense to trade for him. They're currently in a playoff spot and have been playing really well since a rough start to the year. They finally have their goaltending figured out with Ullmark and have a lot of young talent on the roster. A Karlsson reunion on top of the talent they already have may really spike them into a contender spot. Chabot, Sanderson and Karlsson as their top-3 D with Stutzle, Tkachuk, Batherson and Norris at forward and Ullmark in net looks like the basis for a legitimate contending team IMO.

Karlsson at $7 million for Zub and Amadio is basically an even AAV swap ($7.2 million for Senators duo) and it saves Ottawa money due to Karlsson's lower money than AAV. Zub's also a pretty effective RD that you can slide onto the 2nd pair role. Get some picks and prospects with that and I'm pretty good with that deal.

I keep hoping Columbus makes a jump higher into the standings. They could use a RH, RD and can fit any amount of cap this year. Though I'm not sure about going forward. And they have a boatload of Cs.

That would be friggin' hilarious.

Even moreso once Sullivan put him right back on L3

Indeed! The annoying douchebags like me stepping in halfway through an argument between like... pixies and SEAL and trying to do some middle road bullshit. Some random weirdo migrating over to the board because he's a huge Mikael Granlund stan complaining every time he doesn't make it out on the first PP unit.

*sigh*

But no. We're just going to get more rants about like... the 2021 expansion draft.
