no need to give a 1st away on a JJ trade. He will leave the team at little cost by mid season.

The hoffman trade is as good as dead. A. they already have a ton of LW. They need Right handed forwards. B. the team has made a serious effort to get younger not older. They won't trade a younger player in rust for an older player in Hoffman.

Jackson costs you more. He has term so a first alone isn't enough, let alone getting a second back.

Disagree. That’s a fair move

Whys that?

He is overpayed and is a bottom pair Dman. But getting ANOTHER first round pick to a rebuilding team that is no where near the cap is gonna be enough. He isnt good, but he isnt immovable.
