You would need a replacement if you traded Petry, interesting to see what kind of return you could get for him. Oilers would probably see Bear as expendable next year as they expect Evan Bouchard to make it and he fills the same role as Bear. Not sure if they would be willing to give him up this year. I’d try and get Bouchard by offering to take half of Taters salary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would do that for sure, don't think the Oilers are ready to give up on Bouchard yet but they will have a surplus of defenceman as they are really high on Bear, Caleb Jones and Bouchard of course.

I don't think that is enough of an enticement to get a top 10 pick who has developped nicely. 2.25 million in cap space just isn't worth that much. Get Bear and the draft pick and move on.

johnnyhasbeen Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 Byfuglien is appearing in the Habs rumour mill today. From what I understand he isnt skating yet, but if he is ready to resume I for one would welcome the big man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commandant Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 All reliable sources (ie mckenzie, lebrun, friedman) suggest he wont sign with anyone til the summer... if he even signs at all. Ill take their word for it over the eklund rumour i found when i googled byfuglien habs rumour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just pointing out that there are other rumours out there that he wont sign before the summer. I then gave my opinion that i believe the source of those rumours more than ekland. This is a message board where we discuss things and can have opinions. I gave my opinion that hockey buzz is clickbait bullshit... nothing more.

Commandant Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 Gostisbehere is a healthy scratch again in Philly, and is not happy about it. Buy low candidate? Apparently this is what he did today when told he was being scratched again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 I dont think he is a top 4 answer, but would be an upgrade on the habs LD position, Philly would want a little more than i would give, but that's just me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he’s also just 26. The Flyers really could use a veteran center. Andy Andreoff and Connor Bunnaman were in the middle of the bottom two lines Friday.

He skates and moves the puck well. Some defensive issues though. It all depends on the price, though. What do they want? Apparently they want a centre, but I hear Nolan Patrick is back skating again and looking to return, so that might switch the focus to wing, where we have assets we could move.

Because I see Mete’s potential similar to Gotisbehere’s and I do not understand the infatuation with the G-man is he that much better than Mete in one or two years?

Yes 46 points 39 points 65 points 37 points Thats Ghost's last four years I like Mete but hes never putting up the kind of offence that Ghost has in his worst seasons. Philly moves ghost cause they have too many LHD... they arent looking for a younger LHD with less offence in return. They need a forward.

And they keep going back and forth between wanting a steady, physical player on the third pair and wanting an offensive guy who takes risks. All of this isnt helping ghost and hes played worse defensively with more limited minutes than when he was a top 4 guy. Hes only 26 so hes not washed up but could be a buy low candidate due to struggling with fewer minutes this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's done all right so far, I think. So just because a player is getting scratched doesn't mean he is a writeoff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
