Until MTL knows if price can actually play again I think they're hanging onto Allen for the time being ! I do like zacha though and MTL would probably accept if Price was 100%.

These trades are fine insofar as you're not really trading anything of value in them, but Kunin and Crouse are just...not good. If you want to add physicality, fine. But at least target good players, imo.

Arizona 110% says yes to that

I’d do this from Nashville’s end as well

I'm happy to move on from Kunin, but I don't see Mcleod having much of a future on the main roster, despite Poile's fondness for busted former 1st rounders. I think NSH could do a bit better than this.

Neither are Mcleod, Smith or Stillman lmao. Kunin and Crouse are both near the top of the league in hits. Crouse has 20 goals and 0.52ppg this year on a junk Arizona squad. He's a big upgrade over Tatar/Kuokkanen/Johnsson etc.

Its a very young team, in final week of a lost season.

Look at the Vegas game last Monday.
Guys played a pretty physical game and it was probably last time we played a game with something on the line (for them, not us).

I would love to see us add a big winger who can 'mix it up' near the net.

Wood will hopefully help. Maybe Foote can develop some edge.
But getting a year older, and playing meaningful games will help as well.

Yeah I mean I literally said that the pieces you're trading away are trash. But there's no meaningful upgrade here because the players you brought in both stink. If the Devils want to add physical players, fine, but good ones, please Tom. Crouse and Kunin are bad.

As for the points, theyre mostly opportunity and ARI being bad imo (see zacha last year). his underlings /this/ year are okay. still far below AJ (see profile picture). 3 year average is /way/ below.
