Has Kubalik fallen off that bad?

If I had to guess, I doubt Guentzel will be extending with a Canadian team.

Honestly I think he could contribute with the right team still but has been brutal ever since Martin took over and seems to be in his bad books. At this point I would take anything for him and hope he can help more elsewhere

Yeah that's a pretty good guess.

Dead last Ottawa aren't buyers, Karlsson isn't going back. And Jake Guentzel sure as hell isn't being dealt to one of the worst teams in all of hockey.

EK65 won't be traded if we decide to sell. Dubas said he considers him part of the core and said the core is untouchable. However if he requests a trade that/s a different story. I think the margin between Norris and Guentzel is more than Jarventie especially with a contract attached. POJ for Brannstrom ig is fine.

trading a 25 Yo for a 34 yo is as dumb as sticking a knife in a wall socket

OTT declines both PIT trades

They aren't dead last in anything. Karlsson definitely wants to come back over missing the playoffs in Pittsburgh, it is well documented he hasn't played his last game in Ottawa. And PIT would trade Guentzel to Ottawa for this kinda of return, but the issue would be Guentzel extending in Ottawa.

Also, you don't seem biased against Ottawa at all!

Rangers really need a play driver/5v5 right winger for Mika and Kreider. Not sure if Kubalik is that fit

They're dead last in the Atlantic and 7th from the bottom in the NHL, Pretty much as dead last as they come. And why would an American like Guentzel waste his time in Ottawa?

I don't think that's Kubalik. I think Vlad makes a lot of sense for you guys though but doesn't sound like Dolan wants to trade your 1st

Trading the first isn’t the problem. They need Tarasenko at 50% but apparently they can’t get him back unless it’s full cap according to the CBA rules (from what I’ve seen people explain)

I'm pretty sure that doesn't apply when it's on a different contract.
