Something centered around Chris Kreider or Artemi Panarin
no, a healthy Kreider, if made available, would command much league wide
ck has back issues demand way down, not worth trading
don't drink the kool aid some are giving you
as to bread, he's a match talent wise/as scoring W, but not the best style fit, that is better for DAL
------------------
I still think a larger package incl Shesty + Byfield has merit, but I think taking them out to a smaller 3 for 5 package is doable, works for each
Clarke, Dvorak, Helenius
for
Trochek, Sykora, Parssinen, Jones, Robertson
rationale
premise
- K's want a now push for some futures but also a hedge if Kopitar falls off a cliff overnight
- Rs want quality youth and need D depth
Tro is faceoff % king. very good add for at least 3 yrs, maybe longer as immediate 2C level who can spell 1C
Clarke, OP explores if he can/should go now
Dvorak, not helping team now
-- Ks have to replace if dealt, but they have time for that
Helenius = nice project in lower six but expendable
- Sykora = high energy replacement who is read soon
and Pars at 6'3 w/'nuf speed/experience is fine stopgap now, possibly more
Rs need to add big D who can skate
Clarke (rd) and Dvorak (ld) are that, even if not fully ready for prime time this very second
Helenius w/Rempe + Edstrom is a line I wanna see
thoughts?
