I don't know what kind of gotcha you think this is.

NJD also has 2 games in hand and more wins than MTL. The problem has been a lack of goaltending

Siegs plays top pairing, getting top pairing assignments, which he handles to the tune of 55% xGoals share 5v5.

He also showed he has been able to handle those top pairing assignments each of the last two years, including being the 1LD on a contender last year. Slower start this year tho.

If you wanted to try and make a gotcha involving NJD it would at least be Bahl (who I have valued here at a 2nd).

Was fantastic in a sheltered role last year, but has struggled in a much tougher role this year.

He however has the size and draft pedigree that make him a much more attractive asset than the 5'11 harris.

Lose siize and length for no reason no thanks. Your over paying on tanev and hanifin with those deal.

As a Bruins fan. Boston takes that deal and runs.

Yeah I was thinking Boston would have to pay more but just listing that as a base

Really I thought you guys really wanted to hold onto lysell

I’m not so high on Lysell. Regardless we need a #1 Center.

They do. They will be keeping the few assets they have, waiting until free agency to add to their team and hoping not to go down the Tampa Bay road.

What's the Tampa road? They've got a core locked up long term won back to back cups and have been a contender for like a decade now?
