given this draft has 13/31 players that are D we wouldnt want to bring any back expecially ones who stopped hitting since joining PIT

Rowney is UFA i believe but he's good depth for a secondary center and could be an upgrade on Froese as he's a better faceoff guy .
your 2nd would have to be conditional first if you win the cup otherwise we can get more from VGK with their pending UFA contracts they wont be signing transfered
as WPG and PIT are both looking at plekky seriously so removing him from the market for UFA rights and a 2nd is just logical strategy helping their odds of winning a cup the first year .

not to forget SJS has Thorton out and Friedman among others seem convinced that moving a Hansen out with a pick might be something they'd explore (moving hansen is the only way for the cap to work and he's been a bigger dissapointment then Hanzal was in MIN this means MTL would get a warm body and a 2nd in likely 2019 or 2020 )


supply vs demand is getting higher as injuries pile up
the closer to the playoffs we get the harder players play and the more value guys like plekky and richardson will have by proxy

Hey Oilnate,

Gotto think that MTL doesn't benefit enough from doing this and the answer is simple. What could MTL get for trading those 3 guys individually, with retention if needed? Now take all those assets we'd get, sum it up and then offer that to EDM for your package. Would it still be fair value? Quickly looking at it, I don't think so.

Nurse is a good dman, no confusing it but he's not a top pairing 40+ pt guy. He's a decent top 4. Yamamoto also is nice but he's really small and a winger and MTL at all costs needs to start putting their efforts at getting the #1 center.

And frankly its ok for EDM fans to think maybe that they are giving up too much.....that's their prerogative but whether its Edm or Nsh or Pit etc, someone is going to pay the price needed for Pacioretty. The best offer will depend on how patient MB is. Case and point. Joe Sakic trading Duchene.
