The Boeser trade isn't too bad. Idk why we would sign Vatanen for a higher AAV and more term than what we just got Shattenkirk for, who is a better version of Vatanen. I'd be fine bringing Sami back at the right term/AAV, but not sure of the fit with guys like Shattenkirk, Djoos, and Curran in the line up already.

What would you suggest? Maybe bring up Welenski?

So if we did the Boeser trade and thus didn't have Manson, I'd probably want essentially a cheaper Manson replacement (another physical defensive RHD). Because without Gudbranson and Manson there's really no one who's good in there own end besides Lindholm. Maybe a guy like Bogosian on a 1 year 1 mill deal? I wouldn't hate Vatanen back on around 2 years for 3ish, we'd just be very small/not physical/not great in our zone on the back end which wouldn't be great.

The better solution is probably to grab a guy like Tyler Johnson or Virtanen if we really want a scoring RW or get another defensive RHD thrown in a Manson package. Personally, I'd rather deal a center or one of the LHD kids for a RW than Manson if we're trying to be good next year. If we're trying to acquire assets for future, different story though.

I never had a problem with GMBM and respect the moves he made/makes. However, he is pulling up short on this rebuild. Like really? Playoffs? This team isn't ready.

For the trades.

I doubt we would trade real recent prospects. Earliest class I could see is 2017(Comtois) .

Heinen helps a-lot. If we are trying to win now he's staying.

Yea with Grant back we can trade Rowney. Dont care

VAN is not moving Boeser
