GDT: Trade and Free agent rumours thread | Post Trade Deadline Edition

That groups is really really slow.

McCabe and Durzi are good skaters. OEL isn’t bad and Tanev when you look at the stats has mixed results. Raddysh and Andrae are both slow.

McCabe may be able to skate fast, but he sure plays slow.

Yeah, not the fastest group, but I'm less concerned with foot speed than I am with ability to move the puck out of their own end and have at least 1 player per pair that contributes in the offensive end. Mobility would be great but I think it's a bit of a luxury over not having guys that handle the puck like a grenade.

It’s improved a bit, but subtracting Rielly actually hurts in that department - he’s quite a bit better than either Raddysh or Durzi in that department.

The biggest improvements are a healthy Tanev and swapping Andrae for Benoit.
