The challenge Cooper and Mann have is not so much what they want but what they are being offered. This team seems to have many areas that need to be fixed; therefore, I think they will look at what the market is offering before deciding in their direction. Your best player is 43rd in the league in points so he is not going to bring a big return.
The only player who will bring a reasonable return is Frasca, and I do not see Cooper pulling a Mav. I think he will be your leader next year.
My guess is that Cooper gets a goalie to take some of the pressure off of Vaccari and trades Callen for a 14th-round case of Molson and a bag of hockey pucks.
The scary thing is if they do nothing and Boudreau finds a way to energize and develop the Dogs and or Barrie gets it together, you could find yourself fighting for the playoffs again.
BOTTOM LINE you need a goalie who can take the number of shots ou guys give up in a game,
Best player is 43rd in league points while being a 2 way guy- that’s pretty good considering this team has had its offensive struggles at times lol. What’s his ppg rank?He has missed a bunch of games from the start of the year and then the wjc camp.
Obviously they’re not trading 17year olds who are point a game players use your head beast.
Also if you watched any games this year it’s not about shots given up it’s about in close shots and quality of shots given up- they leave vaccari out high and dry every game.
Me personally I’m hoping for ludwinski to be traded for a young player 06 or 07 or if they don’t do that shop him for picks. That’s trade 1.
Second trade bring in an 05, 06 d man that will be impact this year and next and maybe the year after. (Christoforo would be nice on Windsor but I think he’s definitely safe on the team there lol)
Third trade pick up a backup goalie who can play more than 2 games in half a season lol as vaccari was clearly fatigued from playing so much.
4th move isn’t a trade but waive callens and play cavallin more as he’s way younger lol. I’d rather have a younger guy playing 4th line minutes as opposed to an overage winger.
It looks like we will have an extra goalie once Vondras returns from WJ championships. Ludwinski is a player that could help our team, not sure what that trade would look like?
I like your thinking. Yeah never made sense to me about why you picked up vandenberg. I could see fronts going after krawchuck or him. Definitely not vondras as we are not giving up hemstrom or Chromiak obviously
