no that isn’t a “fair price to pay” that a dream price! 2 underachieving prospects and a mid round 1st for a 26 year old on pace for 45 goals.

Voracek’s career might be over with his concussion issue, honestly if his career is over I’d say Columbus would be better served using the 8 mil in another way then paying Johansen again.

A middle-pairing defenseman, a good forward prospect, and a 10-15 range first in a deep draft sounds good to me. I doubt we could get anything more for a guy in his late prime with a $10M QO.

Though I will admit, replacing Tomasino with Kemell does make a little more sense in hindsight.

I didn't even know he was injured lol.

late prime? dude hit his prime last year. he has 6 years of prime left! (25-32 is a high end prospects prime years)

Not sure at all where Jeannot would fit on the Devils roster honestly

He replaces Wood at a minimum. Very best case he replaces one of the other two ufa forwards. I like this idea, with zetturland getting a chance too it gives us a little heaviness that we desperately need. Nice job OP.

TImo has a very high price, especially with his QO. Fabbro, Tomasino and a first would be a fair pay for him. If Timo does move, this is a very close trade to what you'd get in return.

That being said, Preds will not be the team to do so. We'll keep our assets.

you argue that’s fair but if you had meier you would be throwing a fit over how undervalued that offer is. if that’s the best the sharks can get then i hope we keep him.

It's not undervalued in the slightest lol.

ok well i will disagree with you on that.
