The one reason I think it would be okay to go for a rental this year is our defense isn't going to be the same after this year.

This is basically the last time we will see this particular iteration of the hurricanes.

So I think it's okay to go for a rental to try and make a push to win the cup with this group.

Pesce and Skjei both probably won't be here next year, and we may end up taking a step back because of it.
Our defense could be great next year if we cut the giant boat anchor contract and kept the best d man other than slavin we've had fin a decade.

This is my thought. If we are landing him, it’s coming with an extension and we want to make sure we can do that before pulling the trigger. And maybe we're potentially willing to sweeten the pot a bit with Pitt if they allow us to negotiate that a bit up front to make sure it works. He comes with an extension, you get a better prospect (Morrow) with higher upside, plus a roster player that frees up his spot in the lineup.
Gonna accidentally on purpose run into your source at the game tonight?

Oh come on, I know you're a TDA fan, but the best dman we've had in a decade??? :sarcasm:

Boat Anchor's keep boats from drifting aimlessly.

The anchor of our blueline! He's finally come around on him!

I wonder if we’re trying to find a way to get kk in there too….
I get it but not sure that solves any of our problems and just makes C a bigger hole than we currently have.
I’m warming up to the idea of adding Duclair. Feels like a move we’d make.


Or Bunting.
Nah I can't imagine Bunting in a trade, at least not now. Listening to the Aho interview with SC he was very up front that it took Bunts a bit of time to get up to speed in our system, but he seems to be trending well now.

My guess is that if a roster player is heading out it'll be someone like Fast. Pitt will care more about the prospect.

I'll see what I can do.

I was referring to Skjei. Outside of slavin he is the best d man we've had since Faulk, and I argue he's better than Faulk.

Tda is just a cheap d man who's a pp specialist that worked well with slavin and skjei

Man, I know. I'm trying to move past the "argue about Orlov" phase and move into the "let's all just laugh about the bit" phase. We all know your opinion, let's all just be friends again and laugh about it.

Kind of funny that much of the board absolutely hated trading that 1st for Skjei back at the time.

Also kinda funny how that trade really went from "meh" to amazing in the last 1.5 seasons. I'd say until last year, Skjei was... fine. Worth right around late first. Now he's awesome. Maybe a late-r career surge, maybe more proof of how long it takes dmen to figure out this system. Idk.

How many games has he been the difference in?

I don't even know who went in that spot in the draft.

It's going to really piss me off when we do the inevitable and lowball him into hitting the market.

6.5 for 6.
