No from PHI. That trade doesn't help them at all.

vegas has 11 nhl dmen contracts. a third round sweetener is not attractive for. 5m MacDonald

really? getting a better player doesnt help them?

hes not $5M MacDonald, hes 2.5M MacDonald. and this is for next season so that number is flat out wrong, they have TWO dmen under contract in 2018-19.

Plus RFAs rights in Merrill, Miller, Theodore. Schmidt needs a RFA contract this year. That is a bunch of d-men they have control over if not contract in hand yet.

If you think that defense is NHL caliber and that they won't need any other dmen ur sadly mistaken

I wouldn't trade Couturier for RNH, let alone adding TK and a cap dump in MacDonald.

We can afford to keep MacDonald on the books for the entirety of his contract, so we don't need to be actively shopping him. Couturier is our only penalty-killing forward, so trading him would severely cripple the penalty kill, more so than it already is. Konecny is still an unknown commodity, however, I have big projections for the kid. I would expect him to be a poor man's Pasternak, but with more of a "Philadelphia attitude"
