Oh my heavens that nickname.Acquiring Myers would be stupid as he’s terrible and has a huge cap hit.
I’d rather take Schenn off their hands who costs nothing and isn’t a chaos giraffe
Also couldn’t agree more.

Ok... If for no other reason (and really, there is no other good reason) we need to make that trade just for that nuckname, that's awesome.Acquiring Myers would be stupid as he’s terrible and has a huge cap hit.

Nuckname like “canucks nickname”? LmaoOk... If for no other reason (and really, there is no other good reason) we need to make that trade just for that nuckname, that's awesome.

I think I saw @NyQuil use it first so I can’t take credit. Perhaps he came up with it or saw a Sabre or Canuck poster use it?
Regardless it’s fitting and funny AF
Gord W. said yesterday he doesn't think Sens are waiting for the other shoe to drop and that something will be done by Dec 1.I'd be surprised if he can moved before the Hockey Canada report comes out.

Be nice to know.
It's a no win situation, it would be nice to just have some closure though.If something is done prior to December 1st I can guarantee that it won’t make people happy around here, regardless of what it is.
If they are going to make a move, I hope it is for a difference maker. Jamie Drysdale type for 2024 1st (or 2023 1st top 10 protected, Boucher and Debrincat. Add Jarventie level prospect if needed. Is that overpay - maybe, but it solves a few issues for both teams. Love to get Drysdale but I use the player as the level of return I'd want.
Chabot - Drysdale (type)
Sanderson - Zub
Brannstrom - JDB
Kleven - Thomson
Guenette
Somewhere in there is a top 6.
Oh, and a real D Assistant Coach

I wonder if people would trade our top 4 D in TOI for the BruinsOkay A what is a drysdale type. Do you have some names?
Also a first plus debrincat??? Man. I mean. I think we all need to look at other rosters and realize teams do well every year without 4 great d men
Stars have Miller and Lundqvist in their top 4 (both of which som won this board we’re pretty vocal about acquiring but we’re told they were not the top 4 type we wanted (not good enough!).
Red wings (third in our division) have olli freaking maata and be chiarot in their top 4.
The leafs d corps gets endlessly slagged on this board lol…. So …..
the kraken?? Justin Schulz.
Bruins? Grzelyck and Carlo in their top 4. A Bruins fan came in here the other day and was looking to trade Carlo.
Jets. Brendan Dillon
You don’t need 4 absolute. Studs to compete in this league. Are some of these options better than Hamonic?? Yes. But none of these teams traded debrincat plus 1st or debrincat straight up to compliment their best defenders.
Don’t let Dorion fool you. You don’t need to make a make a massive trade to build a passable defence. Which I think he’s actually done. But this coaching leaves our d out to dry. So I guess don’t let the coaching staff fool you
Appreciate the depth of response. My point is we’ve been looking for a RD since we drafted Chabot and we are running him into the ice looking for a partner. Time to get one.Okay A what is a drysdale type. Do you have some names?

We aren't looking for a partner for Chabot, he's been playing with Zub, him playing too much has nothing to do with his partner.Appreciate the depth of response. My point is we’ve been looking for a RD since we drafted Chabot and we are running him into the ice looking for a partner. Time to get one.
Not by giving up Sanderson (although 3 1st types might do it if we had a great D corps). Debrincat has not yet “arrived” with (lack of) Sens system. And he will eat $$ when his time is up for new contract. We are well positioned in the Top 6, maybe even Top 8 if we include Greig. Star Forwards easier to find than Star RD. And that’s what we need desperately.
Year after year. DJ and PD for sure but the corps can only do what it can with the talent on the roster.
Today I would take Boston.I wonder if people would trade our top 4 D in TOI for the Bruins
McAvoy, Lindholm, Clifton, Carlo,
Vs
Chabot, Sanderson, Zub, Hamonic.
Obviously Hamonic is our weak link, but I think competent coaching might go further than adding a Clifton to our roster...
My side... Sign Zub that's allI don't do these often, but here's a potentially stupid trade idea at the deadline:
Zub for Evan Bouchard. Zub a rental to help Edmonton push far into the playoffs, Evan Bouchard as more of a long-term solution at RD (he is a RFA at the end of the season).
Which side says no?
We found an rd. Who plays remarkably well with Chabot. It’s zubAppreciate the depth of response. My point is we’ve been looking for a RD since we drafted Chabot and we are running him into the ice looking for a partner. Time to get one.

Yeah. Exactly. So many teams get by with three really really good d men. But we don’t. Why is that?I wonder if people would trade our top 4 D in TOI for the Bruins

Hard to imagine EDM giving up on Bouchard already, very different player than Zub, he put up 40 pts just last year.I don't do these often, but here's a potentially stupid trade idea at the deadline:
Zub for Evan Bouchard. Zub a rental to help Edmonton push far into the playoffs, Evan Bouchard as more of a long-term solution at RD (he is a RFA at the end of the season).

I think their group benefits a lot from the system and supporting forwards, that's not to say they aren't better today but you swap them and I don't think Bos falls back too far and we don't suddenly vault up the standings.Today I would take Boston.
McAvoy > Chabot
Lindhom >> Zub
Carlo < Sanderson
Clifton > Hamonic
I don't think Zub will re-sign with us. If we had a chance to keep him long term that was two years ago, but it's clear to me he wants to test free agency. So with us likely not being in the playoff picture we need to get something for him at the deadline. We could get picks for him, or something like what I proposed.My side... Sign Zub that's all
Two people radically disagreeing on which side wins this trade means I might be on to something!Hard to imagine EDM giving up on Bouchard already, very different player than Zub, he put up 40 pts just last year.
How can you "guarantee" that?If something is done prior to December 1st I can guarantee that it won’t make people happy around here, regardless of what it is.

I think I lean toward @Micklebot 's point of view though. I was a big fan of Bouchard the year he was drafted, and I think there's still quite a bit of untapped potential. Big RHD with a big shot from the point who can help on the PP sounds exactly like the kind of guy we need.
