Player Discussion Tim Stützle - (C) - Part VI

Not unless Nashville is paying us assets to take on Stamkos.

Norris would be a good fit for them, but even if he got injured, they have assets to make moves and abuse LTIR the way TB and VGS did. We better be getting one of their 3 first round picks back and some other assets.

I hear ya. But don't forget that until the last two months, Norris was a liability, not an asset. Damaged goods with a long, pricey contract. And Stamkos was an asset, not a liability.

I wouldn't call Norris a liability as much as a huge risk, but point taken.

If management is going to move depth scoring, I'd prefer it be for someone a bit more reliable than Stamkos who is a great vet leader, but his production is god awful especially on 5on5 where we need help.

Stu and Brady are lighting it up on the PP, we need some more ES help

And Batherson too - he's leading the team in PP points.

Stamkos did score 40ish ES points last year, and about the same on the PP. This year, he's a black hole at ES, but I believe he's playing one line too high and is overburdened at centre. Shift him to the wing in 1A/1B situation and watch his ES scoring increase, especially with a gifted playmaker at centre to feed him shooting opportunities.

Anyways, this is likely moot as he'd have to waive, and before that, Nashville would have to be willing to trade him. They are in dead last, so that's not impossible, but it is improbable.
