Not sure if Tarasenko fits with Bowness' defensive scheme? I don't know how good defensively he is.

not that it's a bid deal...but why are we retaining Bortuzzo's salary?

I wouldn't do it for a first. Tarasenko is nice and all but I wouldn't want the Jets doing that.

I also wouldn't pay a high 2nd just to change the Jets 7D from a left to a right shot.

Ottawa accepts.

I only had 550k salary cap space left lol.

lol, oh ok...

he's no like, defensive stud by any means. but he puts in proper effort on the backcheck

bump it to a 6th then!!!! /s

seriously though, I thought Bortuzzo was done for the year?

He is fitting well with Jacques defensive system and Staios completed his defensive game about a month ago

I think the Flyers consider this, they likely want the 2nd in 2024. Stanley makes no sense, he isn't a prospect. Plus Philly has been scouting Manitoba recently so its likely that any players headed to Philly would be from the AHL.

Coming into the year I expected a mess defensively, based on many peoples opinions of his game. But watching him 50+ times this year, his overall game is very mature. He's not going to kill penalties for you but he always makes the right play and always looks to steal pucks. I would definitely prefer to extend him but if WPG were to trade for him, they should also try to extend him for 3 years. Still a very solid player and will make any contender better. He's the 2nd best forward available right now after Guentzel

Oops, didn't realize he might be done for the year...if so please send the 7th rounder to another team for a depth d-man

Fair enough! I was thinking they might go after a younger AHL D so that's fair.

I think the 2024 2nd from MTL, a future mid round pick and D Simon Lundmark would work

PHI accepts imo
