Line Combos: CBJ Roster Discussion/Line Combos/Injury Report

[alphafox]

We either need to make the move we were planning to make at the deadline or start to pack it in. Relying on a post trade deadline hot streak to overcome two of OTT, DET, TBL, BOS is poor asset management and hope rather than a plan. If we lose the next few I think you have to sell to set up the team to do well next year, especially as we can assume a regression for at least Werenski. The team has done an incredible job and still might make the playoffs but it lacks depth and at every position.

He has not looked good this year. He has a ton of potential and had a decent year last year. This year he’s looked slow and a few steps behind in terms of being proactive to a play rather than reactive and has had a hard time driving his line. I wouldn’t hate this move because he’s still somewhat younger and has a lot of upside as well is an elite passer but hopefully if we do he breaks out of whatever slump he’s been in all year

What do you do with a guy who appears to be washing out of his second org? He profiles right, and like you said is young yet, but geez.

no no no. I have never liked him as a player. doesn’t pique my interest one bit.

He wasn't bad in Buffalo and not sure I'd say he "washed out". They traded a center for a defender when they thought Thompson and Cozens had the top 6C center roles filled

I'd think about Mittelstadt - his contract only has two years left after this one so it's not a huge commitment and it doesn't seem like it would be impossible to move later.

I’d take Middlestadt as a cap dump. Aka, Colorado is attaching a pick to get rid of his full contract.

2 years at almost 6million left shouldn’t be too hard to work with. We have no cap issues and the deal expires at the same time the young kids are up, so he’s not holding anyone up.

I remember a year or so ago people were advocating trading Jenner for him. How the mighty have fallen

That's accurate and I oversimplified. So I will ask the same question but remove the term "washed out" and replace it with whatever.
