Be interesting to see what, if anything, BOS (has to), FL (maybe flip assets from their own UFA for another one), and PHI (who knows with this often maligned mess).

If a big, intimidating 5-6 defenseman could be had for Strait and a 2016 middle round pick, I'd be thrilled. Beyond that, there is no compelling reason to do anything rash (and I agree with RW regarding going all in to defend the championship, but that's a really high price for what could be a few weeks of hockey).

You have a limited time as an elite level hockey team, so LA is going for it now. Prospects and picks are nice as we all know, but the WHOLE POINT of this league is to win Lord Stanley's Cup.
If you told me trading Ho-Sang and a pick would give us a better shot at the Cup this year, I would not hesitate to make the move.

I thought Sekera would be a great guy for us to target. Obviously, we weren't willing to pay that price and he would probably be a rental given the cap space we want to keep open for J.Rockets. With Kane out, I'm thinking Kings are once again the favorites to come out of the west.
Who can we go after? Need a Rental Blueliner to keep Strait in the press box....

Michalek is injured so that will drive down his price, he might be able to be had for as low as a 4th(more likely a 3rd)

Interesting to watch the moves AZ, CAR, BUF, and EDM make, maybe even TOR in the race to the bottom of the lottery.
BUF and EDM are terrible, but depleted rosters in CAR and AZ could bring some competition.

Stay safe!
Aside from a couple of teams fighting for their lives in the playoff hunt, the tank race is pretty amusing. Buffalo was tanking before the season started whereas the other teams were actually trying to compete at the start of the season. I hope Arizona finishes last and gets McDavid.
We play Carolina on Saturday, it's nice that they will be shorthanded against us since it'll be the 2nd game of a back to back for us.

This is a sellers market. Canes got an awesome return for Sekara.
Maybe we may not be buying after all. Lol

Also I love how everyone blasted Garth for Giving up a 15'1st.
Teams that gave up a 15'1st.
Isles had Vanek for 3 quarters of a season.
Blues gave up a 15'1st a top6 Stewart and a top15 Starting goalie for 20 games of Miller and an exit in the playoffs and they didn't even resign him.
LA just gave up a 15'1st for Sekara. IF he helps them win a cup then great but I don't see them resigning him.
Also, Garth got a top4 23 year old Leddy for a good defensive prospect that hopefully becomes as good as Leddy, a dissapointjng goalie prospect, and an AHL defensman.
We also have Leddy for 7 more years.
Maybe this Garth guy knows what he's doing.

Arizona should't be trying to get max value of its players to the detriment of just moving to icing a less than competitive team the remainder of the season.

Second that. Guaranteed 1st for a rental (only getting ~20 regular season games out of him). I sure hope we can add on the blueline but it's starting to look bleek.

Chicago's window is now, and they just got 6M in cap space by placing Kane on LTIR.
I wouldn't be surprised to see him a Blackhawk.

I think the Blackhawks could be suitors for Zuccs from the Rags. Obviously, the Rags would love to keep him, but I think that the Blackhawks will find Zuccs a better replacement for Kane than vermette.

PIT picking up Winnick and shedding Sill is a great move for them. Our life just got a bit tougher.
Hip Of Rick*
Snow Must Go!
Not to derail the thread but...
Snow did steal Leddy/ Boychuck he also gave away Vanek for peanuts at the deadline.
Winnik returned pretty much the same as Vanek... Win some lose some, not ready to call Snow a good GM by any means. 1 good/great year versus 7 disgusting years
As for a decent target(not sure if anyone else mentioned) Jay Mcclement would be good. Would give us some added depth and is a guy that can win faceoffs and PK. Shouldn't cost more than a 4th and a 6th

The returns as a whole were weak last year because the market had more. Not sure why teams suddenly are spending so much again this year. Big acqusitions rarely work out.

I could see that too.
Really sucks for CHI that Kane is out 12 weeks. Always liked watching them play all the way back to the Belfour, Larmer, Chelios, Roenick days. Was happy for them when they finally won the cup after a 50 year drought.

It sucks that just a year ago we were sellers and no one was parting with first round picks. Now, in a strong draft year, teams are giving them up.
(I should have read ahead...I see that STRONGISLANDERS90 said something similar.)
I doubt he would be a very good fit. He didn't fit very well in Pitt because of their up tempo style of play and we play the same style.
