Arizona trade is fine . That Vegas trade is insane, It doesn’t even make the isles a better team and we’re giving up a 1st to do it

Let's wait until after Pulock & Bailey return to see how a possible trade goes along

i mean honeslty for the next 4-6 weeks were ****ed

I think McNabb is a pretty sizable improvement over Chara/Dobson and Reilly Smith is still scoring at a 25 goal clip. He actually shoots the puck. I like the flexibility he brings to the lineup. Could allow Barry to sit a passenger on the wing any time he wants to.

Yeah, it sucks, but hopefully we can get through it. Maybe we can pull a 2019 St. Louis who knows

4-6 weeks of waiting? Nah something has to be done ASAP in my opinion. Doesn't have to be the trade that you sell the farm for, but something to try and stabilize this team. If the road trip was a wild success I'd agree with you. Can't get the team into a tailspin

Mcnabb is a replacement level defenseman, sure he’s better than Chara but that’s not hard to do. Smith is more of a playmaker and his linemates/system are a big reason for his goal totals. I’m not even sure he’s a better player than Parise. Trading a 1st for a rental is the single worst thing this team can do, they should be trying internal options with young + hungry players like Salo/Golyshev

That's a way to look at it. It's still kinda early in the season. But I get what your saying. Action taken now would help the team.

Btw Dobson is better than Mcnabb in almost every offensive and defensive metric. That’s not great considering Mcnabb plays with Theodore/pietrangelo. I bet Robin Salo is better than Mcnabb right now, and he should get the call up.
