Who was acquired how? A successful trade! 😉

Became an instant core piece and integral to winning the Cup. I think Rids is envisioning a similar impact with this acquisition. Players do tend to do well here after moving on from worse franchises, so that’s what you would hope to replicate with a Tuch add.

If he’s back to 30g, 70+ points for the next handful of years…..that’s enticing.

Hmm... When you put it like that I better understand where Rid is coming from. I do see the appeal there. I still stand by my point that I wouldn't give up CMM. I mean I'm of the stance that we should hoard all the major nuts for now, anything 2nd round draft pick+ aside. We still don't fully know how he'll pan out, if the beginnning of the year was a one time thing or a flash of what could be consistent in his future). It's a very interesting discussion when you put it like that. It's an interesting spot figuring out what this organization will be like on wing in a few years with Wilson, Cristall, Miro, Leonard, Parascak, (CMM & Aleksei Protas if neither are moved to center), Ilya Protas, Frank, etc. We'll see what happens with the roster.

How are people feeling about this Sandin / Carlson top pairing? Particularly as compared to Fehervary/Carlson?

We'll have to see how it pans out as far as how well they defend together.

Not big on it. Not big on Fever-Roy either.

It's not just the media. A former teammate recently said he thought Miller was too hard on EP. Boudreau has also confirmed it.

Boudreau would have some good intel on the Canucks. Could give us an advantage.
 
I see a lot of proposed trade targets in here that are past their prime (tuch included), and I hope management doesn't try to chase success acquiring depreciating assets. I doubt they will, given their recent track record.

I'd like to see frank get some more time on the third line to see how he fits in. Adding speed is always a good thing, and that guy's got one hell of a shot, too. He could be the piece that completes that line, but only time will tell.

Care to take a guess how old Oshie was when acquired?

the few years caps have been great at drafting, developing prospects, developing hi potential cast offs. I think they have a forumula for what they are looking for and it is someone with 200+ (maybe now 300) games played, 27 or younger, sturdy, and leadership tenants.

The Caps have several NHL ready now or within a year guys. There could be some gems in there so if you are going to make an impact trade it needs to be a top 6 guy and probably a LW that fits the above. If you can’t find that guy with the right dance partner I don’t think you make a move other than a depth rental.

I’d spend to get a top 6. Would be fine sitting pat.
