<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Philu916</b></div><div>Will be 100% honest, this isn’t an awful trade idea, but Tony DeAngelo is a young solid offensive Dman who eventually can eventually become a top 4 dman. Not really in love with Hayes on top 6, would moving Hayes and Holden be doable?
1. KZB
2. Vesey, Ship, Zucc( just a few games to see if Vesey can be a top 6 winger)
3. Nash, Miller, Grabner
4. Carey, DD, Fast

Defense self explanatory, same but swap Tony D and Holden. If Staal struggles, can give him a game off here n there for Kampfer and move Smith to 3 LD to even out the D pairs. Miller has been playing C and doing well but he may be better off on the Wing, but clearly the kid can do what is asked. We all clearly can see Chytil this year isn’t going to be given his fair chance to earn a top 9 role. He needs to make mistakes and learn but if he’s on the bench, can’t happen.</div></div>

I wouldn't feel comfortable losing Hayes, and I think DeAngelo is expendable. Alternatively, I think Pionk proved in preseason that he will be an NHL dman by next year the latest. DeAngelo is a consistently exceptional playmaker but a very inconsistent defender, so he's sort of a defensive liability. I think the jury is still out on Hayes, but Shipachyov is still very unproven at the NHL level obviously, so I wouldn't want to trade Hayes and rely on Ship to be our 2C.

Sujet: Shattenkirk and Hanzal
Not necessarily, Subban was traded right before his kicked in last summer and Nashville probably won long-term (Weber's production is going to drop off eventually).

Personally, I think Stepan is the next Callahan - Rangers signed him to a big deal and gave him first line C duties because there were no better options. The Rangers knew Callahan would wear down soon and traded him while they could, and now he is the biggest blemish on that talented Tampa roster.

St. Louis needs offense, and if they're not in the playoff hunt by the deadline, they will definitely trade Shattenkirk. In their minds, they get a first line C for the next five years in exchange for Shattenkirk (who they know the Rangers would sign immediately). So it's essentially a straight-up deal of long-term 1C for long-term top-4 D. Rangers come out on top but the Blues get what they need in a 1C.
