Not even a first rounder. I respect the troll

I ****ing hate andrew peeke

Makes the right side worse since you added Peeke.

Did you hate Benoit when we first signed him?

No I had liked him before I love him even more now

Shoveling some **** on the Columbus side doesn’t balance the trade. I’d say try again, but please don’t.

He's really not good. Bogosian, who absolutely would only be a 7th defenceman in TO, is better and costs less than half the cap.

Such an embarrassing offer.

Can't believe you clicked publish

He's a league minimum contract. It was zero risk. He's been a pleasant surprise. And while I'd rather see a true (Prime Muzzin type) shutdown defender with term for the 2LD position, McCabe has improved his play considerably this season. I would definitely still want a better option than him im the shutdown role, I don't think he's good enough defensively for that. But I don't know who they could get to be that perfect player, they are not very common. Get some 30+ year old guy already on the decline is just a waste of assets so run with McCabe in that role and stand pat more or less.

Liljegren is very good, only foolish fans don't see what he does. I am not sure yet what his ceiling is but he's 24, playing top 4 minutes and winning those minutes. Keefe has held him back and now he's forcing his way up the depth chart. He's a long term solution for TO on the right. You don't trade him, if you had to to get Jiricek depending on how big a package it would take to get him, maybe. But it absolutely makes their right side worse for this season. Jiricek isn't a top 4 defenceman today.

I'd hope you can make a trade that doesn't include Liljegren. If you could land this kid and keep Liljegren, you have a right side next year of Liljegren, Jiricek and Timmins. That is a young defence with upside and in an age group that could be part of a cup window of the core 3.

Jeez, this whole GMing thing seems so easy!
