Jux made a thread on the trade forum about us needing a scoring winger. Someone offered:
Stepan + Zuccarello
for
Couture, Bergman, cap dump
I think I would do that. What do you guys think?
Yes. Because:
Zuc is stupid good so probably.
I love Zucc. He's basically what I dream of Donskoi being. He's really, really good. If we got Stepan and Zucc for Couture, Bergman, and a cap dump... man....
Marleau-Thornton-Pavelski
Zuccarello-Stepan-Meier (Meier would fill the Kreider role)
Donskoi-Hertl-Labanc
Ward-Tierney-Boedker
bernmeister's new obsession with Bergman is weird though.
He gets fixated on certain players and overvalues them to the extreme. For the Sharks it's Hertl and Bergman. He's also obsessed with Seth Jones, Noah Hanifin, and Nate Mackinnon, just to put some big names out there, but there are some guys like Bergman he loves too for no apparent reason.
Yah. I did not get it. But I did not question that either. LOL.
We have better D prospects than him on our roster. Surprised he went for Bergman.
At this point, I think it's arguable that Bergman is our best D prospect. It's hard for me to consider Heed, Mueller, or Ryan "prospects" at this point (if Mueller is even better, which I'm not convinced of) and Roy can't stay healthy.
I just have a feeling that we flip Goldobin + pick(s) for something this TDL. Probably a RFA scoring winger.
RFA wingers that I'd trade Goldobin+ for:
Palat, Toffoli, Niederreiter, Pastrnak, Drouin, Teravainen, Burakovsky, Janmark, Arvidsson, end list.
Toffoli is going nowhere, Nino is going absolutely nowhere (he's probably the Wild's best skater), Pastrnak should be going nowhere (but you know how Boston handles their young superstars), Drouin is untouchable now (shocking that he became this good!), Teravainen is fitting in on his new team and should be a fixture there, Burakovsky is on a contending team, and Nashville 100% knows the value of Arvidsson and wouldn't entertain trading him.
That leaves Palat (team also needs to sign Johnson, Drouin, Boyle, Nesterov, and maybe Bishop, plus they're in a pinch for the expansion draft; trading Palat for Goldobin would allow them to protect Killorn) and Janmark (who is good but has been injured all season so who knows when he'll be back and what he'll look like when he's back).
Honestly, if we're trading Goldobin+ for an RFA winger, Palat makes a lot of sense. I would also look at Killorn off of Tampa, but I dunno if I'd trade Goldobin+ for him.
