Should we upgrade at this deadline and where?

[Air Budd Dwyer]

I'm all for keeping this roster as is. Zero interest in spending assets for a rental, obviously. I'd also be cool with seeing what Yzerman could get for Tarasenko and/or Gustafsson.

This team isn't one move away from a deep playoff run as of today. I guess my main issue is that I don't want to watch Holl and Gustafsson play defense on this team anymore.

To be fair, I don't think anyone is saying we should go out and get a rental.

If the price isn't crazy reunite the schenn's or cozens and soucy. Rather the 2nd but not too sure Sabres deal him to us

Compher + 2025 2nd + 2025 3rd +viro
2026 3rd for other schenn

Kasper larkin raymond
Debrincat schenn kane
soderblom Rasmussen berggren

Does Jones make sense? Is he any good? Honestly dont watch hawks enough to know. But sounds like he is a solid all around defender and might b fit for 2nd pair behind seider.

IMO not worried about him blocking ASP. ASP might need to cook a year in AHL then nothing wrong for playing 3rd pair D n PP time for 1st couple years. BY end of Jones contract could b used as a super solid 3rd pair guy who PKs.

What would cost be? I imagine:

Jones (1 mil retained) for a B level prospect (but who? tuomisto? wallinder? viro?), a 2nd perhaps or a 1st?

EDIT: Is he a diva? We know SY aint fond of no divas.

Jones is a RHD, which means he isn’t a first pair for us (Seider) and shouldn’t be a second pair for us (Edvinsson/Johansson). He makes way too much to be on the third pairing.

There’s zero reason to split our second pair up right now.
