<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>PinkWhitney</b></div><div>Minnesota isn't trading one of their centers when they don't have a replacement. They will likely make the playoffs as a wild card team. West is weak with little competition.

What exactly are you giving up for Bonino 2M retained because I know you don't think you're getting him for a bag of pucks...</div></div>

I'd imagine making a Bonino trade would be contingent on us being out of the playoff race so we a) don't gut our center core before making a run and b) don't trade him to a team we'd likely face in the first round. Yes, the west is weak, but outside of Kaprizov, Fiala, and arguably Greenway we haven't had many bright spots offensively up front. Our blue line is fantastic and Talbot has been really good for us but I envision a lot of scoring issues until we get a 1C and Zucc hopefully proves last year was a fluke.

Sujet: a few pld trade ideas
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>PinkWhitney</b></div><div>Dubois has pretty much closed himself in a tiny box. Wanting a trade this early in his career makes him a very unattractive add and now that he apparently wants to go to Montreal, it will be even harder for teams to want to pay a hefty price for him other than Montreal.

My guess, he is either traded to Montreal or he works things out in Columbus and stays.</div></div>

Ehh, agree to disagree about him being an unattractive add. He's still a 22yo 1C with four RFA years making way under market value the next two years.

Some people around here look at his stats and see a 60 point forward, but he's on a team that has struggled to create any offense for the last two-plus years and has an anemic power play. Putting him on a more free flowing team that has a good power play and IMO he's an 80-90 point forward who is ridiculously strong on the puck.
