Proposal: Van RFA trades (Buf/Tb)

[LTIR Trickery]

Ristolainen, Girgensens, Nilsson
for
Tanev, Hutton, Miller, 2nd


Kucherov, Nesterov
for
Hansen, Boeser, Subban, 1st

I honestly don't think thats a bad trade for Tampa - you'll hear a lot of pissing and moaning about losing Kuch, but the value I think is solid. Hard for Tampa to take on extra contracts right now, though.

We wouldn't take on extra contracts unless you planned on signing Boeser to replace Kucherov this year. The value just doesn't work unless you think Boeser can replace Kucherov's production?

Hansen doesn't do much and it forces him or Callahan to be a top 6 RW which they aren't they're better 3rd liners. Subban is nice to replace DeAngelo in the system but a trade around him and Nesterov would make more sense. With Kucherov I don't see Vancouver being a bottom 3 team which they'd need to be to make that 1st worth it, I can see them drafting 10th which is nice but not good enough for Kucherov as to me the deal is Boeser + 10th for Kucherov. If trading Kucherov we need to use him to shed something terrible like Callahan but that will never happen.

Not a chance in hell the Lightning would do this.

Kucherov is Bolts most untouchable player. Every other day or so a new trade proposal for him but it will simply not happen. The Bolts will resign him unless another team makes a really stupid high offer sheet for him.

Kucherov is coming back the other way in that trade...how is that a "hell no"?

Hey now, Boeser could some day be as good as Kucherov.

Tim Murray would laugh you off the phone.

I feel like Ristolainen is underrated around here.

Well he could, obviously, and I think he'll be a very good player but it's still up in the air.
