The admin team will continue to work on existing issues, templates and upgrade all necessary available addons to minimize impact of this new version. Click Here for Updates
Was thinking oilers are hating on skinner .... tarasenko 1.750 off so the salary is the same with the Oilers sending a 3rd or 4th and we open a spot for next season

Think oilers do it ? Should we ?
 
Would anyone have interest in Rust? I know Detroit was interested last year, and his 5 mill cap hit for the next 3 years doesn’t look so bad with the cap going up. Could help the top 9

I'd take him, but I wouldn't want to pay anything of value and they would have to take Tarasenko.

So they probably say no to that lol.
 
I missed the first part. For the record, I'm totally against selling off futures (includes our previous first round picks) for rentals, unless (as you said) they benefit us long term.

Schenn shouldn't cost more than a 3rd, provides grit and playoff experience, and is an upgrade on Holl. No reason to not pull the trigger if he's available.
Schenn for a third is fine, I personally however would first take a run at Soucy if actually available. The good news about trying to upgrade Holl is that a lot of players are an upgrade to Holl.
 
Stop in your heads trying to make a trade just to make a trade people. Dobson does not fit detroits style of play nor does he fit our roster construction. Absolutely not worth what it would take to get him.

I'm sorry. Next time I make imaginary trades I'll try to be more realistic like you.

Now if you'll excuse I'm heading back to my armchair to make more imaginary trades.

I'm out on Soucy, another year and just another one of those dman. He's a slighty worse Chiarot in my opinion.
I don't understand the Chiarot comparison at all. I think he is a good, realistic option for upgrading the bottom pair without cutting us off from making other moves.

It's fun to shoot the shit about different options but, I am mostly with you. Yzerman has preached a methodical and patient rebuild and I expect that to continue through this trade deadline. There are obviously two types of moves: long term or short term

As far as the long term goes, I'd do another Debrincat style trade in a heartbeat. In reality I think this style of trade is more likely in the summer/at the draft.

That leaves the short term. I'm okay with a low cost rental or contract swap. I wouldn't pay more than a 3rd or 4th + a depth prospect. 1sts and 2nds should be off limits for a rental at this point (or anyone over 32/33).

I'll probably fling some more proposals around but I'll emphasize this one more time: Yzerman has preached a methodical and patient rebuild and I expect that to continue through this trade deadline.
 
Mazur and Lombardi as well
Ya I saw them afterwards. Lombardi was more cause of the pandemic and everyone missed a whole season so im hoping he can turn out to be really good for us

We're long overdue to have picks in later rounds turn into something of significance

I’m fine with it too, but I wished if we did that people would actually think logically about trades and how our playstyle is and what players actually fit our needs and style of play. You can’t just insert guys like this is a video game.
