A little bit of shopping a little bit of trading

kotkaniemi has more value than bertuzzi, why is montreal adding? And that is alot for hertl

that hertl deal is a little ridiculous, not too mention extremely unnecessary, habs come out of that deal a much worse team, keep KK and sign a winger instead and keep all those assets including the top goalie prospect in our system.

The team is worse??? I can't disagree more. Clearly in my world the team above is WORST CASE as good as it was before the acquisitions and only cause Price isn't there. If for the next 3-6 yrs our C depth consists of Suzuki, Hertl, Krejci and Poehling... IMO we're solid. I didn't give up any picks so we have time to replenish the prospects cupboard and probably have developed a couple in time to replace Toffoli and the yr after Ovechkin. I got a taste of a cup run and I don't want to wait long to do it again.

You're probably right about KK but that's how much I like Bertuzzi. I think he's better than KK right now but KK will eventually surpass him in a few yrs. Same thing for Hertl, thats how much I believe in him. I love those prospects but I'm too impatient to wait till they reach their potential.

I could get down with something around Bert for KK.


That’s if you consider Byron as a positive asset, most don’t.
