Quantity doesn’t get you anywhere if you’re trying to trade for Zegras

We also aren’t looking to trade him so there that too

Two good young RD a good prospect and a 1st tho...

Two bottom pairing D you mean, of which only one is a right shot? We have better ones internally. Want to get it done, offer Reinbacher.

Canes pass - second year on the deal causes problems

Caps are not spending their first on a bottom 6 and depth defensemen.

Let's see -- a UFA bottom-6 forward of absolutely no distinction whatsoever, a LhD whom we don't need, one season of a 27-year-old (next season) UFA bottom-pairing RhD, and one season of a used 32-year-old (next season) LW (which we don't need) on pace for 24 points this year at a cap hit of $3.25 million on a severely underwater contract. That wouldn't be enough to get Trevor Zegras even if the first-round draft pick didn't have top-3 protection, which you KNOW Kent Hughes would insist on unless he's lost his mind. We're not about to trade Trevor Zegras for a roll of the dice and four useless mouths.
