piece of shit person to tie your legacy to as wellShitty way to run a team, IMO.
Frost and one of PHI's 3 first rounders that they have for 2025 seems like a pretty realistic trade for Rutger. Would prefer a defenseman but if that trade isn't out there this isnt a bad substitute.Or players that seem to be rumored to be available like Frost and Farabee from the Flyers.
saw your post on the main boards and i really don't think Chevy is interested in a trade around draft picks for either.Not high in the likelihood of happening, but regarding our two biggest trade chips Ehlers and McGroarty, I wonder about the option of moving both for 2025 1st round picks, and then backfilling them by a combo of our own prospects (Lambert), and looking to use the cap space to get a useful player on an expiring deal from a team looking to move cap. (I haven't looked at all the teams though that are looking to move Cap to see what's available). Or players that seem to be rumored to be available like Frost and Farabee from the Flyers.
If we could get the Sabres 2025 1st for Ehlers, and the Jackets 2025 1st for McGroarty, those picks could turn out very well (both teams rumored to be interested). Lambert could likely find a role on the Jets in 2024, and the Jets could try and acquire Frost or Farabee to add to the lineup (as an example).
I don't think he's looking strictly for draft picks either, but it did sound like he was interested in the Wilds pick before they decided to trade up a spot and use it.saw your post on the main boards and i really don't think Chevy is interested in a trade around draft picks for either.
oh, ok... so you just have unrealistic expectations... gotcha, no point in carrying on with this convoyes the forwards are the same as last year game 1..... several of whom fizzled and were replaced with rentals. not to mention the fact our forwards from line 2 on down EVAPORATED in the playoffs...even our rentals......both of whom left......
what if Fa should we have dione? trade for a guy like OEL, or maybe Chychrun or Chris Tanev.... sign a guy like Aho or Matt Roy... trade for a guy like hanafin or Forsling or and RFA with McG and Ehlers as bait.... SOMETHING to fix a years long issue on the back end.
and the Oilers are going to be a handful going forward...so it's not just our division we need to worry about.... I remember the 80's and 90's of slamming into the Oil and losing over and over...I'd like some insurance against that....or at least some hope we can compete against that....
does that Jennings feel like something after we were swept from the playoffs? does that trophy make us contenders? do you really feel that the utter failure to properly address our D over the last four years is a good thing?
....to quote brad pit in moneyball.....
nobody gives a shit if you lose the last game of the season.
is it unrealistic to expect a GM to take less than half a decade to address a known Key issue on his team?oh, ok... so you just have unrealistic expectations... gotcha, no point in carrying on with this convo
thinking that florida would trade us forsling... thinking that roy, tanev would even sign here... trading oel who was a free agent?is it unrealistic to expect a GM to take less than half a decade to address a known Key issue on his team?
mmm OK.
posts deleted. so not sure if I can respond...thinking that florida would trade us fosling... thinking that roy, tanev would even sign here... trading oel who was a free agent?

A signing for less than $1 million or a 2 way contract means nothing. You have almost 30 contracts to throw away.We signed Haydn Fleury & Mason Shaw. How did this board manage to not implode.
It's happening! It's happening!
His brother Jason is miles better, I think he is a tweener, to good for the AHL not good enough for the NHL he can't crack the Leafs roster consistently atm, a trade might be in his best interest.What do people think about Nick Robertson? What's his worth/value?

What makes you think this?I wonder if the discussions with Carolina for Necas are actually centred around Perfetti and not Ehlers or McGroarty. Perfetti might actually fit nicely into their team. Chevy could try to get Ehlers extended then for his left side; maybe Lambert on the right side. Probably an add required from us.
His trainer has him drinking BCAA's...I am not part of the bring back Laine crew, unless heavy retention and a sweetener, maybe.

Great to see Patrick, the man, looking great and hopefully genuinely happy.

Need for speed. Insistence that Ehlers is part of the future. Still being linked with discussions for Necas.What makes you think this?
Maybe Connor next summer, who's going to want $9-10 million?Where is the cap space coming to keep both those two coming from. Both will want $8 million, throw in Vilardi likely getting 6 plus next summer and there isn't room.
Not that it it is a out of left field idea, but if Perfetti is on the table, I'd think it would be to pry a young top 4 RHD out from somewhere.Need for speed. Insistence that Ehlers is part of the future. Still being linked with discussions for Necas.
Thought there was summer pre-draft rumours about Chevy listening, or teams asking, on Perfetti.
just unreliable pagnotta who said teams were calling to see about perfetti, nobody has said anything about them listening, I think the org is high on perfetti and doubt they even consider moving him when we already have uncertainty on ehlers/mcgroartyNeed for speed.
