Potential Trade Targets (2025 edition)

I'm not trying to get rid of Allan. But they have a surplus of young defensemen and a dearth of young true centers. So it's more about taking an opportunity to improve the team than get rid of Allan. You have to give up something of value to get something of value.

Just like how we traded Jokiharju because we had Ian Mitchell, Beaudin, Boqvist, Murphy

Remember how that turned out?

So because it didn't work out once, we should never try it again?

Also at that time, Mitchell was still in college and Beaudin and Boqvist were playing in juniors. Holding your own in the AHL leads to a much stronger chance of success at the NHL level than producing in juniors.

I dunno... I was maybe (definitely) looking at this season through rose-colored glasses. I saw the additions of Teravainen, Bertuzzi, Craig Smith as being upgrades over guys like Tyler Johnson and Taylor Raddysh.

I guess I also expected Bedard to have more than 3 goals at the 21 game mark.

I dont think some people understood how bad the roster was last season, it was literally one of the worst rosters of the cap era. The roster isn't the worst of the cap era this year, but it's still really bad despite those additions/subtractions.
