Plus hes younger. If they trade Joki they should go for a for someone who is a sure upgrade rather than a very minimal one. Plus how much is he benefiting from Ekholm, Josi, and McDonagh as I feel those guys help his stats a bit
I think Jok has fallen off a good bit tbh. Fabbro is a decent 2nd Pair Dman, whereas I think Jok is more fitted for a 3rd Pairing Role now. Still young of course but I think there has been a sizable Regression since those cards, and the current Cards also show that.

The one thing to me is how much if Fabbro getting carried or assisted by Ekholm, Josi, or McDonagh. As those guys are very good. Like if Joki was with them got a feeling he would be the better D.
He’ll never reach that, he can’t play a full season in the AHL, he’s on a “conditioning stint”
He can do two weeks without being returned to CHL. Seattle could play him two weeks in AHL, call him up, healthy scratch him for 5 games, then send him back to AHL. Should probably be a candidate for world juniors somewhere in there too.
When Devils won 1995 cup, they did it with six left-handed dmen. Not a minute played by RHD. The lefty/righty thing sometimes gets overvalued by fans.
RHD is waaaaaaayyyyy overated, Its all personal preference for me I always liked playing on my offside more. Hockey is so fast paced where this type of stuff doesnt matter as much as people think.
Anyone else feel Seattle is the new Florida Panthers
They got a nice forward core, alright defense, but ****ed up the goaltending department by giving their starter to much and he underperforms to the point where the contract is an Anchor.
Like I feel Grubauer is gonna keep them back from major success like Bob in Florida. To bad its unmoveable as a Tandem of Jones/Dreidger would probs work out well for them until they can develop a nice goalie

good thing they have Martin Jones to bail them out
they won't be able to extend kuzmenko so I don't think they'd give up Howard
Lets say they go to the finals and win like what we saw with Savard they wont care
Sure its another guy gone but they still got Duke, Finley and Edmonds in their system
In general teams like Tampa want to win now and worry later so guys like Howard are basically trade chips and if a guy like Kuzmenko can be added at the cost of him go for it. As I feel he would do very well in Tampa's top 6.
