Quoting: Devil1122
You mean an overpaid winger that can't perform in the playoffs, a defenseman with one year left, a defensive prospect that hasn't cracked the NHL yet, a late first for a top defenseman that just won the Norris last year and is the captain of the team and a winger on a great contract?
top pair defensemen CURRENTLY thats already 31 with 6 more years at over 9 mill a season. How long do you think that lasts for?
Winger on a reasonable contract who doesn't score anymore (and i like Arvi) - he scored less than .5 pts/per game last two seasons. $4.25 for 40 points?
Cant only point out flaws in half of the equation.
Marner was top 5 in scoring this season and is only 24. Time to figure it out.
Rielly could easily resign or just let him walk and have cap flexibilty.
Lijlegren is a prospect. They havent made it into the NHL thats the point. Remember Drouin for Sergachev? He was a prospect then too (not a totally fair example but still).
and you still get a first rounder to potentially select a solid player.
This is fun!
