For the 50th time this is why you trade Petts now. He has just as much a chance to be cooked in 4 years.Dude got cooked fast.

Yeah, I don't agree with you on Laine but I'd move Rakell for him just to go from 4 years of commitment to 2 years. Regardless of cap, and again, I think the guy's cooked but there's a non-zero chance he sorts his shit out and can be flipped down the line. If not, oh well, he walks 2 years sooner than Rakell.Getting out of term for lesser term should be the goal.
If you can move Rakell for a worse contract or worse player with less term, do it.
etc etc.
By whose standards? Anaheim and Seattle? Pretty good. A team with aspirations to be good? Not very good.I thought Dumo was good again last year?
Can anyone explain a single UFA signing by Dubas to me?

Warm bodies for a team that's not trying to throw long term commitment at trying to lure good players anymore, pretty much.Can anyone explain a single UFA signing by Dubas to me?
If the plan isn't to try to compete for anything until 3 years from now, I am open to the idea. Should have tendered POJ though if that were the case.For the 50th time this is why you trade Petts now. He has just as much a chance to be cooked in 4 years.
Tatar was NJDs best defensive Forward in his last year there.This board's obsession with Tatar last year was a little odd. You give a guy like Puus all season and a defined role and he could put up the same numbers. And I'm not a huge um... Puus believer.

This goes beyond just offense. Besides, he's been able to put up points with defensively inclined usage before.
We can acknowledge Tatar's career while at the same time respecting Puustinen's game.
Yes, he had a down year last year, but I'm not so quick to give up on guys like everyone else. I expect him to improve in NJD and play up to his cap hit. 1.8M level is not a huge ask for someone of his skill level, even at 34.

Petts and Rakell out by the TDL. Rust gone next summer once his NTC is dead. Shop EK the entire time cuz that's a monstrous cap hit and it's gonna be a mess trying to find a taker, even at 50% retained, after Sullivan's handiwork.I'd be moving Rust for like Fabbri and a 3rd.
Rakell for Jarnkrok and a 4th.
Who cares. Get the high term, high caps off the books and then continue to try to make the moves that other teams are making.
Analytics said he was a top tier defensive player.
Which is why you should never trust expected numbers.
There are roughly 25 POJ caliber d-men available on the market right now.If the plan isn't to try to compete for anything until 3 years from now, I am open to the idea. Should have tendered POJ though if that were the case.

I hate you, do not dare speak the evil words aloud.It's funny. I was mad about the return we got for Guentzel, but that's what we should be targeting for Petts. A young LHD that can fill in 18 minutes a night and a 2nd.
What will actually happen...
- Petts is re-signed 6 x 6. Probably before the season starts.
- Rakell finds his game and we talk about him being a big part of the future.
- Rust is given the A in two years when Malkn retires.
