I feel like Florida would be more willing to give him up because he hasn't lived up to expectations.

Hed look good next to Chabot. Id be willing to offer 2 roster players + 2 good prospects + Isles 1st and another 2nd rounder for him

It's a steep price, but I'd probably do it.

He hasn't lived up to expectations why do you think that? He plays 23 minutes a game and puts up around 40 points a season he is +12 and a corsi% over 50.

It is a pretty good dream though!

cuz he was a 1st overall pick so im guessing people expected him to be a better version of Pietrangelo i guess which he is not

Ok but his play so far is way above average.

yes but he didnt say hes not a good player. All was he said was he didnt live up to expectations. Expectations of a 1st overall which is multiple Norris wins

The 1st and both 2nds for Evander Kane?
Throw in Tierney if you want!

That's a damn steep price. I think the picks are overkill but Ekblad locked in for 6 years is mighty tempting

Curious about Kane, I thought he was one of SJs better players this year

He has been one of our top players ever since we got him!
His contract ends when he’s 33 not 39 like our other horrid contracts and 7 mil for a top line consistent 30 goal scorer is reasonable to me!
I would hate to see him go I really would but we have to rebuild and this would help start our rebuild!

On the same subject what would you guys Give us for a former captain/ Norris trophy winner under 30?

I believe people thought he was going to be a super dynamic offensive defensemen. Like a modern Orr.

Yeah that makes sense.

OK I thought so lol. I'd keep him if I were you. He seems to play well in SJ.

Hmm former Norris winner and under 30? Sounds too good to be true! Honestly I wouldn't want to burden you with trading such an esteemed player. You keep him lol

How about the guy I’m talking about plus a 1st for a bag of pucks?

Lmao. Man I really hope it doesn't get worse for him. Even though I was upset he had to go, I was happy he was going to be someone else's problem. I just didn't think it would be this soon
