Why is Grier trading 2 years of Ferraro and Bords for rental Chychrun? 🤔

I'd rather not re-sign Zadina. 😬

Well, personally Chychrun would be more serviceable than Ferraro as a 1LD, providing more offensive production helping our young core to produce, and could link up well with Carrier that he can balance it out with the defensive zones.

With Bords, i think with the Afanasyev addition. Grier has been looking for big body guys that can produce and hes looking to move on from the Doug Wilson's picks. I like him to be in the sharks, but he could be traded soon as well. He has to fight for his spot.

As for Zadina, I would ask you why you wouldnt re-sign him? Having him as a 4th liner in a short term deal isnt bad after all.

Well the minus 44 sticks out for Zadina and we'd lose Chychrun for nothing as a UFA.

Umm I dont think the last season +/- stats say much about Zadina when almost everyone in the team was terrible at it, since its a historically bad season. The team literally couldnt be comfortable move/control the puck and score. I dont think it gonna repeat or be even worse than that. Zadina still produced +20 points on that team tho.

With Chuyhrun, i mean we have a ton of cap space next year wtf? More than this year... The Brent Burns cap hit will be gone.(If you check the Long Term Outlook tab, you can see the projected cap space of $40 Million in 2025) And theres no problem to re-sign Chuyhrun, most likely will be around 6-7 mil per year.

I just got my Bordeleau jersey. We cant trade him yet

Zadina is not terrible and no one should be judged negatively from that line up last season. Mission accomplished but historically bad. My thought is with all the guys we have at F is there really a place for him. if couture is healthy.. Couture, Granlund, Zetterland, kostin, smith, Celebrini, Bordeleau, Kunin, Goodrow, Dellandra, Strum. that's 11 F asuming no one from the prospect pool makes the team or we dont trade for a cap dump to get to the floor. I just dont see a place for him

OTT declines not trading a LD for a LD.

I mean, Ik already that they have Sanderson and Chabot as LD but still Ferraro as a 3LD is pretty good tho to solidify that position, and will be much cheaper than Chychrun's current contract and the upcoming one. Giving more cap space flexibility to invest somewhere else. As well Ottawa likely would take Zayne Parekh tho.

Kleven is going to play 3LD next season, they don't need a 3LD
