I didn't like his defensive play and that he's still very soft for his size. I won't blame him completely though, as he still hasn't gotten a proper defensive partner for himself. But I liked his offensive play and I don't want to trade him.
Why trade Peterka for one or the other? He's our best winger, he's improving. There's no guarantee that Tkachuk or Crouse will move the needle and play as well or even better for us, but Peterka is already playing. You can try to get Crouse in another way, they need defense.
Quinn + _____ for Crouse (if he is even on the block) would be a much better idea to me.

Come on what? You interpret my post as advocating for Dahlin to go? That's your problem. He's not untouchable, neither is Power...doesn't mean I'm advocating for any one of them to be traded over another. The fact is that the D-corps as a whole doesn't make sense. Some level of revamp needs to happen. Go put your head back in the sand if you don't like it or can't accept it.
We have a good D-corps that needs to be supplemented, not destroyed. Build around Dahlin and Power, that's all.
Trading any one of them does not "destroy" the group. Obviously in a vacuum, made up hypothetical scenario, Dahlin returns a top-tier player. Clearly he would be the last option to trade among the group, but he would bring back a great player that wouldn't "destroy" anything...unless of course KA does another stoopid (which is very possible regardless of who gets traded).
Destroy because you don't know what's coming back. Although Dahlin and Thompson are untouchable to me. Power is not, but he's another player I don't want to trade. Why do we always need these trades? We haven't lost many good players in recent years who have gone on to other teams, and we continue our eternal rebuild and miss the playoffs. Just add good players to the roster without trading your good players, it's that simple, it's not rocket science, and other GMs do it.
You're taking my posts into the deep end. In my world Byram never gets added, we still have a solid FW group, at least at C, and all that needs to be done is adding a vet RHD or so. But adding Byram just made the group more disjointed than it already was, and I'm trying not to be biased by posting "TRADE BYRAM". In fact, one puck-moving LHD needs to go in order to balance out the group with some combination of veteran defensive capability (preferably a right shot). I just don't care to go off on hypothetical trade scenarios for any/all of them...but one of them should be replaced by a vet defensive D-man. At this point I barely give a f--- who it is. It just has to happen.
I care who it is. Trade Byram? Ok. Although we can get top 4 RD without trading Byram and I already showed it here.
That's fine that you care who gets traded, but the particular player that gets traded won't determine if the group gets "destroyed". That will be determined by the GM that isn't very good at figuring out what his roster needs, and whether he approves a trade that simply isn't right or returns poor value.
Are you aware he has 4 points in 16 games?
Not trying to trade struggling Quinn for other struggling players.Quinn + _____ for Crouse (if he is even on the block) would be a much better idea to me.

Checking in on one of the hot names that has been getting thrown around and.....
Exactly - by don’t folks get need to keep Bryam AND ADD someone - otherwise we are treading water
Buyout Sammy next year ( 1/3 out is good) and trade henri now who will have value as a rhd - more then folks think - and get a D with other assets to fill out top 4 ( looking at you petterson in pit : ) )
No, well I'm not against trading Byram if we get another defenseman return in the deal and then add someone like Murphy/Whitecloud/Carrier to play with Power. But simply trading Byram for help up attack seems questionable, we'll be left with Jokiharju and Bryson in the top 4 again.
Hopefully these moves are made by a real GM and not Terry Pegula's bitch boy.
They aren't dumb enough to go for a pig like trouba , well I hope . rumors they were targeting pesce ? so.who us similar? I can't imagine they can acquire anyone that isn't over 29 , 30 who would dahlin and power respect that may be able to be pried away for a price
yeah Jaeger we don't employ or trade for mentally challenged orcs in buffalo, yes I called Brady an Orc
We definitely have enough assets to add top 4 RD and top 6 F.
let's forced them in fan chess moves to be that real GM ( althoyg5i think they've been on this since ruff was acquired and targeting drury has my respect for sure
