I feel like it's a forgone conclusion that management is going to go after a 2C with experience this summer. Unless Dach has a miraculous turn around then I doubt they have faith anyone currently in the system can fill the 2C spot next season, and I'd expect there's going to be some real pressure on management's jobs if we don't see significant improvement next season.

Depending how Malkin finishes out the season, I could see him being a realistic target. I'd like to think Pittsburg isn't stupid enough to think they can be competitive next year, and probably head into their rebuild this trade deadline or off season. He'll have one year left on his deal so he'd help buy time for Hage/our 1st pick this year, he'd add some much needed veteran presence at center and I honestly think having a Russian vet to help Demidov transition to North America would be such a simple and smart move.

It would be nice, not sure we could pay the premium that Pittsburgh might want for him. If their asking price is a 1st then it makes no sense from our end.

We don't really have a NHL defense core either. Dobes might get the same amount of troubles.
We know Primeau can’t do it. Why not give Dobes a try?

Defence hasn’t been great but a half decent goalie would keep his team in the game at least. Primeau sporting a .821 SV% just isn’t tenable.

which is why they should be swapping Primeau for Dobes and making a trade for a RD and a C at the same time.

Swap the Gs
Trade Barron + Picks for a decent C
Acquire a defensive RD from the surplus of assets
=
stabilize the team without accelerating too fast and they can trade Savard later if needed when the TDL comes

Im dissapointed we couldnt land Jiricek.. we certainly had the assets. Basically we could have gotten him with: Engstrom + Cgy 1st + 3rd, 4th, 5th.. is that really so hard to let go?
