Empty threat or will he act on it?

Hard to imagine ownership would be on board with that given how much the opened up the pocket books this summer...

9M$ in signing bonus paid out this summer to the 3 big UFAs... Plus their salary...

I imagine They're going to be pushing for some playoff revenue asap

Trevor Zegras......and I'm being serious.

If we look at last season and this season....they are really not far apart.
Newhook average 0.52pts per game
Zegras average 0.41pts per game
Both suffered from some injuries

They were both drafted in 2019, 7 spots apart, same age, about the same size

Of course because of Zegras' first 2 seasons, not talking one-on-one but we can easily afford to add picks/prospect.

Would you trade Newhook for Zegras even up?

 

[Mrb1p]

Would you trade Newhook for Zegras even up?

I guess, yeah.

 

[Trembz]

Would you trade Newhook for Zegras even up?

Yes, 100x times over

The more i watch him the more i think he might not be a NHL player on a contending team. He's one of those guys that don't fit anywhere. Not good enough offensively for the top 6. Not enough grit and or size for the bottom 6. Not that great defensively. Not physical. Not hard to play against. Outside of his speed i don't see much qualities making him a solid top 9 nhler on a cup contending team.

He would be insane in the NLA with all that open ice

 

[Treb]

Trotz would be smart to start the rebuild right now, he could get a massive haul for the assets he just signed. We're talking 4-5-6 first rounders total.

5 Years down the road they'd have a team on the ups.

I'd be interested in Josi, Carrier, Forsberg, ROR, Sissons, Evangelista, Tomasino, Parssinen, , L'heureux, McCarron and Tommy Novak.

Then you get people to pay to drop terrible contracts on you and you're freaking golden.

I'm sure he wouldn't do it, though.

He's talking big, but I see no way the owners agree to it after the Stamkos/Marchessault/Skjei contracts with NMC/NTC.

At best, it would be a retool and even then I expect minor moves at most.

 

[Guy Larose]

I only suggested Evans being moved because that's the trade rumour out there, and who teams are calling about. I'd keep him too, quite like how he's been playing


He's been solid, probably why teams are calling.

That's the rumor out there? From where? People have to stop reading the main board and the fan fiction there and pass it off as "rumors are out there".

I've never visited the main board in 20 years. I first read it here NHL Source: ‘At Least Three Teams’ Closely Watching Jake Evans’ Strong Start with Canadiens

Do we suddenly have rules where people can get 'rumours' from ? lol
He's Free Agent at the end of the year, I can see why he would be in play

Might as well convert him into a modern day Ryder, Halak and a 2nd package.

Newhook, Primeau and a 2nd as the default meme trade for the Maim Board.

I've never understood this meme, Ryder, Halak and a 2nd seems like a pretty solid package of value.

Halak was without doubt a #1 goalie, and Ryder a consistent productive goal scorer, a 2nd rounder never needs to be scoffed at.
