Why should we give up a 1st? Quinn is kind of bombing lately? If you are a Seller you aren't giving up 1sts. Somebody out there is going to want Fabbro and Nyquist, sell them to somebody else. Quinn isn't the prize you go hard for.
Everybody for a well used roll of tape. Done.Seeing how this season has turned out so far we might need a 24-25 trade thread.
A 1st or whatever but Quinn is exacly the type of player we should be going after at this point. We cannot tear it down so the best course of action is to try to acquire young players who have perhaps underperformed in their previous teams and are for sale. There's no use in moving guys like Nyquist "just for picks". We have plenty of those and after all, this is a team that should try to contend.
Yeah I just don’t see a “burn it down to the ground” style rebuild in the future either so I’d be ok with moving some pieces to pick up quality young players. More of a retool than a rebuild. The core NMC guys are here and not going anywhere. The rest of the team needs to be rebuilt around them. I’d move out some of the guys like Nyquist who have value but I’d rather get young promising players that are ready or almost ready for the NHL than draft picks unless the plan is to try to get another 1-2 firsts to try to trade up into the top of the draft.
Why trade for players that are similar to the ones we already have? We have hopes that the players we draft will develop and rarely do. I'm tired of the hope that someone will pan out or acquire a project player. How about we acquire players with a known track record instead? This isn't meant as a slam to what you've posted, I understand what you're saying and wanting to do but it's more of the same of what we're already doing. Yeah, sometimes guys need a change of scenery. Other instances guys need a chance. I've been impressed with what I've seen from Pars the last two games. That whole line has looked good. All they've needed is ice time and it's crazy, they've performed.
Since he has me blocked ... tell him to enjoy it however the hell he wants. Neat, rocks, in a cocktail. Just do it responsibly. Don't drink and waive defenders.
Caught in a landslide. No escape from reality.
Just give it some time and Tomasino will be gone too. I’d be shocked if he makes it through the season on the roster.
Par for the Course for Trotz. He has always given veterans preferential treatment.
