<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>markmws</b></div><div>This is just me thinking out loud (I haven't read anything about this yet), but I wonder what impact a rebuild will have on Columbus's ability to sign Zach Werenski. I assume that, if given the choice, the Canadiens would consider him more valuable of a player. Though I will admit that I would hope that, while they are winning right now, another player that can score from the left wing would not hurt them. :)</div></div>

Very true the only downside is that I can’t see Drouin or Tatar returning, so might as well get something extremely valuable back for them. Guys like Toffoli lead our helm on the left but after that I could see a need for another top 6 winger. Potentially Lehkonen or maybe even Evans could fill that role but they could be less consistent in the regular season. Even someone liek Armia is top 6 material I just think he’s playing too perfectly on that fourth line

Sujet: Playoffs lines today
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Taz</b></div><div>Yesterday's game was a playoff one, very intense, physical. As for Merrill I don't remember him serving a good solid hit, blocking shot or showing character. Your right, he hasn't been bad defensively, but he wasn't good on relance/zone exits. I remember one or two situations where he could support the offence in the offensive zone and he seemed really hesitant. As I just say, 11min30 is a very poor sample, hope to see him more physical and confidEnt.

I do prefer Kulak's mobility and relance. Kulak had good games playing with Romanov on 3rd pair. His bad games were when he played with Weber against better players, and Weber also struggled a lot and committed a lot of turnovers!</div></div>

Kulak does deliver more mobility and puck moving, but pairing him with Romanov who is also a more offensive defensemen isn't always the solution. If you noticed, Merill was able to take more of the heat defensively while Romanov was more free to move up with the puck, get in deep and make more pinches, something people were complaining he wasn't doing enough of before. By Merill being that defensive defensemen, it gave Romanov the opportunity to move up the ice and get himself that secondary assist. While im not saying Merill is the better defensemen, i feel like he is a better partner than Kulak was to Romanov

Don't trade Drouin for a guy who's struggling mightily (Hall)</div></div>

I get that but Drouin is also struggling. I was listening to TSN 690 and they made a strong case that the biggest reason for this trade would be 1. Hall's hunger to be on a decent team and do something important and 2. getting a huge cap relief in the offseason. By doing this, it would hopefully motivate Hall to play better and not let him lose out on a bunch of money come the off season. Listen I like Drouin the guys got amazing talent, but his time is up we baby him too much and treat him like he's the prized possession cuz he's from here. I think it would be valid to trade him away, maybe give him a confidence boost playing alongside Eichel next year.
