I would give Pac alone for Eriksson Ek
I like this kid potential[/QUOoTE]
And that's why your not an NHL gm
LOL. I see you snuck Svechnikov in there. This is Bergevin you're talking about. He's having a very bad year. His Saturn is in his 6th house. That kid is not tumbling into MB's lap.If Toronto would make that deal, I'd try Patches, Petry to St. Louis for Pietrangelo plus Thomas. St. Louis gets two roster players and a lot more firepower for two + Cup runs. With Parayko being their heir apparent, he can anchor that top D position into Pietrangelo's spot.
Chucky Nylander Lehkonen
Drouin Thomas Svechnikov
Scherbak Danault Shaw
Hudon Evans Deslaurier
Byron
Mete Pietrangelo
Alzner Liljegren
Jerebek Juulsen
That's a freaking young and exciting team to think about. Sure, they'll be challenged to win at first but that's as solid a young team as you can ask for in short order. Yes, I am aware that it will never happen.
Alternatively, just put DLR at centre for 1/3 the price. Kruger has one more year @ 3M. Last four years:I'd at least like to claim Kruger as it at least helps the depth at center. As for Smith, I contemplated claiming him but would need to move out Alzner to a team like NYI who need defense in a bad way.
he is not going to push for the playoffs. He can't.
Pacioretty and Petry for PLD + Cap dump.
Plekanec for a 2nd or worst case a 3rd.
Byron for a 1st or worst case a 2nd.
Drouin - PLD - Gallagher
Lekhonen - Galchenyuk - Scherbak
Hudon - Danault - Carr
Deslauriers - DLR - Shaw
Mete - Weber
Alzner - Juulsen
Jerabek - Benn/Schlemko
Draft well in 2018/2019 and the team could be very competitive.
he is not going to push for the playoffs. He can't.
You do realize that your trading a top 4 D and a top scorer in the league over the past 5 years for a first year Nhler and a cap dunp...not even MB is that stupid.
Lol you say not even mb is that stupid but you realise colombus need centermen more than anything? Theres a high chance colombus refuses this offerYou do realize that your trading a top 4 D and a top scorer in the league over the past 5 years for a first year Nhler...not even MB is that stupid.
Only way to get an elite top 6C in today's NHL is drafting one or acquiring him before he blossoms (where he becomes nearly untradeable).
How has drafting one gone for us in the past?

Brendan Smith on waivers.
This is someone I hope we put a claim on. Especially if you're going the rebuild route. If you move Weber, Petry, Benn, Alzner, Schlemko, etc. He's young enough with enough experience to eat minutes on the blue line.
I actually like Kruger...
So your philosophy is draftingoing hasn't worked so let's dismantle our defense and get rid of our yearly leader in points and goals.
Your right Columbus probably does refuse but mostly because they know they aren't going to win the cup this year. They don't need petry but any real contender would pay the price for patches which is currently reported at a good prospect, a roster player, a first and 2nd.
He has an Alzner contract and makes Alzner look like Ekblad.
Horse Shit he isn’tYou do realize that your trading a top 4 D and a top scorer in the league over the past 5 years for a first year Nhler...not even MB is that stupid.
Horse **** he isn’t
If Smith clears, I'd trade Alzner straight up for him in a heartbeat. Probably add a pick.
