Hmm.. I didn't say that. I simply wondered if there's an out of left field splash that could be made to spice things up.

I think he's fantastic skill-wise but does not inspire his linemates to grind and go to war with him, and theres an argument to be made that he's surplus value in the skill department, even despite the struggles this team has to score in the playoffs.

And honestly, I don't think Matthews OR Tavares want to play with him. Like at all.

All these are assumptions based on common narratives.
There is no evidence they don't want to play with him. I get not liking players but can we stop with the false facts? Nylander is adored in that room.
I also don't think McDavid and Drai like playing with Hyman. Why they kept moving him every where? It's easy to do this.

That's always been pretty obvious. He's not an easy player to play with.

Nylander has been our best forward the last 2 playoffs, why trade the only guys who's shown up when it actually matters?

If Nylander being lazy leads him to be a good playoff performer, but the others who work harder and aren't able to petform. Thats a bad look on those other guys.

Would a kerfoot and Holl for Pearson and schenn or Motte deal be palatable for most here ? I think u lose a bit of offense but not much and u get a whole lot nastier.

That 29 year old would be our 3rd best player

Sandin is not good enough nor important enough to say no to JT Miller

Sandin + 1st + Abramov level prospect for Miller would have been highway robbery for us

They must have asked for Sandin + Knies + 2 1sts at which point the deal becomes bleh

would *arguably* be our third best player - for one more year.

sandin is only 22 and a defenceman. Who usually don't start coming into their own until they are older. it makes no sense to give up that many RFA years + for a rental. Which is why we said no.

Does miller move the needle for us past Tampa, florida, colorado, carolina? probably not. I really do not think this is the year that you go all in. Regardless of what the past few years have tried to tell us.
