So cap space and team control are important and Arizona wants cheap assets and not NHLer, that's why a trade for a two RFAs and a potentially high draft pick is unrealistic, but sending them Klefbom and RNH is not?

Why? He got a return on Yakupov and STL let him walk for nothing...and according to the Larsson/Hall thread, most feel we won that deal too. Chiarelli has his warts but tough to criticize those 2 deals.
Chiarelli shouldn't be allowed to make any more major deals.
He's had three summers to put his stamp on the team and the team he's created is the lowest scoring team in the NHL with the benefit of Connor McDavid.
There's at least a 50-50 shot a monkey throwing darts at a rotating dart board could've done a better job, and I don't even kid.
How do you even end up with a low scoring team while having McDavid and Drasiaitl gifted to you to start with?

Yakupov was the only one he gets a pass on. The Hall trade was an absolute rout for New Jersey, I'll go to my grave knowing that is true.
He does decently on small deals, taking flyers on FAs at times that turn out decently enough.. but tends to get torched on bigger deals. He has been schooled by one GM alone on Long Island a number of times, and that's predating his time here. I still get ticked off thinking about the damn Reinhart deal (which unlike many here, I think falls squarely on his shoulders, not on the suppositions that it was influenced by the previous regime. He was GM, he had the prerogative to make the call or pass -- and he completely, utterly shat the bed on it. What. A. Moron.)

Because we had the worst defense and worst goaltending in the league when he arrived?

PC in taking the the Jackets/Sabres game tonight.
Watching Kane? Kane is a LW and I'm not sure that is where we need help.....

More likely Columbus. I believe their GM was at a couple of our games as well.

There’s no one alive that would attempt to defend that Reinhart trade, just horrendous.
I understood the Eberle trade IF he would’ve used the cap savings to replace him but he didn’t so that’s a fail as well.
And today we have the 10th worst GA, the 8th worst team SV% and the lowest GF in the league. Hurrah!
Yes and? This is like hiring someone to repair your house and returning three months later to see that he's bulldozed your living room to be able to build a bedroom ... but you have no living room now. Great.
As a managerial feat of incompetence being able to build a team with Connor McDavid (on pace for 40+ goals and 103 points) on it and still be flirting with being the lowest scoring team in the league is right up there with anything Lowe/Mac T/Tambellini pulled off too.
For sheer incompetence it's impressive actually. I don't even say that as a joke, I'm amazed that this is even possible, lol.
It's like a parent who should be mad at their child for doing something egregiously terrible, you are mad, but you also simultaneously amazed they could pull something like that off, lmao.

I still make the Larsson-Hall trade but I respect that almost half This board wouldn’t so I’ll drop it.
Regardless, he’s 1-1 on dealing 1OA, let’s hope he doesn’t try moving a third anytime soon.
Scum bag Pete: trades away 16th and 33rd picks and Taylor Hall to fix the defense.
DOESN'T FIX DEFENSE.

CBJ with depth on D. Wonder if Edmonton looking there or not...
I'm assuming you're talking about Nurse and JP? Because as I've noted to Soundwave, there's a significant reason why I don't do that deal. That being said, Dallas still has the pieces and the desire to blow that offer out of the water.
Simply put, if we're going all in on OEL, you'd better be prepared to pay him like Draisaitl.
I'd poke around on Savard, but they seem to want a top six center. Maybe they kinda miss the PP option that Gagner brought last year. One of Letestu/Strome plus Benning may move the needle?

I don't know who we would realistically be targeting from the CBJ defense, to be honest.
We need a defender that can produce offensively and I'm pretty sure they aren't trading Jones or Werenski.

Sometimes miracles
I wonder if it really would be Columbus -- they don't seem like ideal partners for a trade:
- They are looking for C help. Nuge, the most likely candidate, is on pace for a 60+ pt. season, on a team that is struggling mightily to produce any semblance of offence.
- They are allegedly offering up D in trade. Sekera is coming back relatively soon. I don't personally think the D core is the issue -- it's the coverage. That is a performance issue, not a personnel issue.
- Cap is alleged to be going up, which wouldn't necessitate a trade of Nuge for the cost savings. Draisaitl, to me, still has not proven he can carry a line on his own.
Also if he's now looking for D at this point, I love the "lets wait until Sekera is almost back until doing something on D" approach. Wonderful Chia. You're a genius.

We traded Hall, a 1st, and a 2nd, and signed Kris Russell to a massive deal and we still need D. How can anyone look at this situation and not think that Chia has been an absolute failure in every sense of the word? The funny thing is, our forward depth is piss-poor too.
My guess is RNH for Ryan Murray, followed by Klefbom being traded for pennies on the dollar. This moron is a ticking time bomb waiting to explode and squander every remaining asset this organization has.
