Sujet: Kane Trades Bleacher Report
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jimbo1119</b></div><div>Although Tarasenko would be cheaper than Kane, STL would still look to acquire a 2023 !st as well as top prospects for him.

I'm not dangling 1st round picks or top prospects for ANYONE who I don't expect to be with the team at least a few years.</div></div>

Very fair. Considering the chemistry that Zibenejad and Kreider already have, as well as the fact that Trocheck and Panarin seem to be adjusting to one another, then you can make the case that neither line needs a big name RW to play with them.

Vatrano was a solid addition last Season, and they got him for a 4th. If you could find similar additions that are doubly cheap (both in Cap hit and assets required) that can play on those Top 2 lines, and therefore keep the Kid Line together, that could be even more beneficial.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Shakabakes</b></div><div>Trading away one of the few decent RW'S you have for Kane is counter productive.

Kane will simply be too expensive, both by Cap retention and assets given up. Plus, he's more of a distributor than a Scorer, at this stage. No point in watching him and Panarin just pass the Puck back and forth to each other with no one to shoot.

Tarasenko is the better All Around target in a potential Blockbuster move. Assuming they go that route.</div></div>

Sujet: Fire Sweeney
Pleau2 I think everyone is mad at you because you think Sweeney should be fired for no reason. I really don't understand all the hate for him, he won GM of the year in 2019 for a reason. He has made a ton of good decisions and deals that I don't see any other GM doing. Of course he has made some bad picks and bad decisions too. I agree with you that I was hoping they'd add another top forward but the prices weren't cheap, it sounded like they almost had a trade for Rakell but Anaheim chose Pittsburgh's last minute offer instead. It sounded like it was Debrusk plus a pick and a prospect. Which to me would've been a mistake given that Rakell is likely a rental. Also watching Debrusk's interview last night he is a totally different person than he was at the beginning of the year. He seems legitimately happy that he'll be a Bruin for at least the rest of this year. I think we'll see him continue to produce this year so we'll get the same production from Debrusk that we would get from Rakell.

It's also worth noting that if injuries come up I think the BC kid, McLaughlin could chip in this year as well as Lysell potentially. McLaughlin was a great signing.
