GMKC be like: oh that's cute

Not losing three years of term in a Ehlers/Nurse swap and no a 4th round pick doesn't make up the difference.

Why would you make the defense even worse than it already is? Nurse and Larsson ARE the only real defensive players on the team, the play in rounds proved that, Bouchard and Broberg need at the very least one more year of development

bro the jets aint accepting that. I asked the Jets GM. He said no

Penguins have no use for AA. And no reason to pay him.

Zucker and Guenetzel already on the top six. Poulin/McCann/Simon etc on the third line.

LOL Ohhh my

I give you an A+ for your effort sir.

AA can play up and down the line up. He could be a great replacement for Sheary. More offence for less money with crazy speed... Larrson has one year left, but can resign after the entry draft without protection., great RH defender to replace Shultz. Even ahead of Shultz on offence this year without a shift on PP. for 1.5mil left.. what's not to like from pitsburgh side

Bouchard doesn't need another year. He could have been one of our best d last year. He isn't going to get any better in the AHL. He will be our best Dman by the second half of season. He is clearly above Larrson already, so is Bear, who was our best dman against Chicago. That puts Larrson at 3 RD. He's better than Benning but will only get 15mins a game in softer situations. He's better than that. Broberg needs some more development. But in a sheltered role as 3 LD he can develop here. He is big, strong and skates like the wind. His defending is not far behind Nurse. If his confidence struggles, he can go up and down to AHL. We still have leggeson, jones and samorukov, who is due for at least a short term call up as he is nearly NHL ready as well.

They already brought in Kapanen and have Poulin coming up. There is zero need there and zero reason to pay him. He's also a complete liability.

Getting Larsson is fine. AA just makes no sense.

Nurse is pretty good, still young, could resign pretty easy in 2 years, defenceman like him don't come along very often. You are right about Ehlers contract though. It's pretty good. I would start with that offer and go from there. I would add a first rounder if it came down to it. I just don't think Holland will part with his 1st round pick. Ehlers would be sick on McDavid line. And cheap enough to stay there for 5 years

Yeah we just need to dump AA. Flat cap has screwed us for room. I forgot they grabbed kapanen already. They had been pursuing AA at the trade deadline.
