Idea should be to add a Center. Not swap them. We need to add more depth to this team.

Trading our perfectly good 1C for another 1C around the same age would make zero sense. We want to build and add around what we have.
Personally I think Peterson is gonna bounce back. But I don't think we even know fully what we have in Suzuki yet. I think there's ceiling to go so it's a no for me dog
Now, getting Peterson another way I would be interested in

I’d trade Caufield for Pettersson in the summer.
Suzuki
Pettersson down the middle.
Still have Demidov, Slaf, Laine, Dach, Newhook, Josh Roy to fight for winger spots.
Slaf - Suzuki - Demidov
Dach - Pettersson - Laine
Heineman - Evans - Newhook
Gallagher - Beck - Anderson
Roy
That would be great C depth. With Evans, Beck & Dach able to fill in at C due to injury if needed.

If Pettersson can comeback the player he was 2 years ago, he’s a better player then Suzuki but the idea would be to have both
Caufield is a winner.
You don’t trade winners for players like Pettersson who don’t care.
Folks didn't want to trade Dach for Dubois, I don't see why we'd want to trade Caufield for Pettersson.

I wonder if we trade for a veteran backup goalie this week or very early in 2025. MSL has clearly lost confidence in Primeau.
I don't think Dobes is the answer at this point. He has missed some time recently and Primeau was actually a better AHL goalie at a younger age than Dobes.

Suzuki is the captain, but Caufield is the personality. Both are the identity of this team, and I wouldn't trade either one.

Need a centre
any trade or trades that involve picks to a team will be for a RD or centre.
if habs get a decent pick for Evans will be used to do the above.
it is time to use picks to get a centre, as KH said "in time these picks could bring a player back"

Some people here wanted to trade Suzuki for PLD.
Some people here want to trade everybody as long as we get those magical firsts.

Probably because these guys virtually never make it to free agency.
But adding Dobson this summer would be great.

I didn't say as a FA... we have picks and prospects, when it comes time to improve the roster we'll have to make hockey trades.

Andersson is the player to target from Calgary, not Weegar. I see absolutely no reason why NYI would consider trading Dobson, but we should be on it like dog on a bone if they did.
Granlund is more of a winger than a center, no?

If Slaf gets his shit figured out, I'd say we're set at W with him, Demi and Cole in the top 6. Need to address the middle of the ice badly.

Right now I'd take a risk at McTavish or Cozens...if the price was low enough.
OR both...
I'd put both our first on the line for those two. IF they work out we not only have two more 2C but also deeper into their development.
Add Demigod, Hage and Rein...we have the makings of a really good team in a few years.

Are Slaf, Beck, Hutson, Demidov, Reinbacher, Hage, Fowler, Xhekaj magic beans. When your GM knows what he is doing they are always valuable.
Yes, before next season I think we need to see the cornerstones in place, and the last critical pieces are a 2C and a top pair RHD along with a 2nd pair RHD. And a starting goalie who is consistent. Could be Dach , Reinbacher, Mailloux and Monty, but maybe not. If Dach doesnt get it going by TDL we need to be open for a 2C and by off season go hunting hard. We were hurt bad with Reinbachers injury as he may still be a few years away and I think we need a top RHD much sooner than that.
To accomplish this we have Matheson, Savard, maybe Evans, maybe one of Reinbacher or Mailloux, and a number of high picks, which could grow if we move the vet players I have listed. There are other guys we will move for maybe 2nd to mid rounders. If its the right guy Hage is a valuable prospect, but a few years away. I hang onto Beck, Florian and Tuch if at all possible.
