Roster Building XXIV: Our Hearts Go Pitter Pattersson

[Sigurd]

I have no problem trading KK for Brock Nelson, who I think we could sign in the. off season for the same 6 million a year +/- 500k for 2 years to give Jarvis a chance to grow into the Center position (making him 24 at that time) and grooming Nadeau to move into his left wing position.

If the Islanders are in a sell mode, and if he's available, Barzal would be overall appealing for a 2C.

If we can't get EP from Vancouver, than Barzal would be a good plan B IMO.

Nelson just doesn't interest me. He isn't a long term solution for 2C given his age.

O'Reilly is the same age as Nelson both 33 years of age. And Nelson's stats are slightly better than Ryan's and Ryan has Stamkos

At 6 million he's just not worth it imo. At least ROR is 4.5, leaving a little room to add another 3rd pair/7th D-man or another add if KK is moved.

Either O’Reilly or Nelson would bring something valuable to this club, which KK does not. Take whichever one we can get.

I too would prefer a biscuit or baguette over a turd.

Doesn’t sound like ROR will be traded according to Freidman on Saturday night headlines said he’d have to approve a deal even tho he doesn’t have a ntc and Nashville would really have to like the offer to consider it
