Yes, playoff teams should give up good prospects for rentals, unless they're all managed by Bergevin who wanted to collect every Tinordi and every Scherbak. They all need to improve if they want the brass ring lest they become perpetual first and second round also -rans.

How many prospects and draft picks have the Vegas Golden Knights given up in the past few years? And they didn't all work out. You don't know which will work out in advance.

Pittsburgh gave up *a lot* of players and draft picks over the years. They didn't all work out, but in the end they won three Cups.

Los Angeles, prior to their dynasty, gave up Brayden Schenn, Wayne Simmonds, Jack Johnson, a 1st, Colton Teubert, and probably other players I forget about.

How much has Tampa Bay recently given up?

Did Colorado not give up Justin Barron for a guy who was a third liner on an awful team?

If playoff teams are not interested in any of Savard, Monahan, Allen, Harris, Kovacevic, etc it plausibly comes down to their GMs not being serious about winning.

With the Dvorak injury Hughes needs to make sure there are enough players on the roster to finish the season so not sure there will be that many trades. We have more than enough Ds though so I could see Savard and Kovacevic being traded

Armia - highly doubt anyone takes him
Monahan - likely to re-sign
Savard - hopefully we can get a 2nd
Kovacevic - maybe for a 4th or 5th
Pearson - maybe a 4th if healthy
Pezzetta - wouldn't mind getting a late pick and moving him
Allen or Primeau - something's gotta give

Then callup Xhekaj and Heineman (also give a game or two to Roy and Farrell)

With Savard and Kovacevic traded, who replaces them on the right side?
All they have are LDs, it's not like Mailloux is ready yet.

Like the rest of us, they’re trying to figure out what Letowski is actually doing.
Out of curiosity has anyone ever asked outright what his job function is. We may be blaming him for stuff he isn't responsible for. He could be there as a cheerleader for all I know. :laugh:

Can't wait for a trade
I can't wait for the gasps at the returns. :sarcasm:

Don't really agree. We need forwards in general and a D and G are most likely to be dealt anyway. I can see Hughes getting another guy in the Dach/Newhook style, or horse trading some pieces for new vets that help short term and will be dealt next deadline when their contracts shorten. I think we'll see movement

More and more I see Savard as the guy to retain 50% on. Allen is buns and we'll just have to hang onto him until next season when we have more retention slots.

Monahan should be traded too and we shouldn't have to retain.

It's tough to move Evans with Dvorak out, but I think our moving pieces this deadline will be some combination of Savard + one of Monahan, Primeau, or Evans.

I would take back Johansen in a deal with Colorado if they view him as a straight cap dump. 4 mil for this year and next, we could use a replacement center this year.

I also think if Arizona is buyers this year that opens up a new world of possibilities, but players might get salty if they are traded there

What do you think of this trade? It's not a credible site, but whatever.
It makes no sense whatsoever. Buchnevich is 28 and whatevs, Neighbor is aged correctly for our core but i dont see "star".. both are LWs...

For that we give Mesar, Hutson Anderson... all of which can fetch more..

Id offer BUF Mesar, Hutson, and Anderson for Kulich and Krebs.
