Lovett's Magnatones Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Does anybody know why Vrbata didn't move for the second year in a row? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last year I think his wife was due to give birth soon and he didn't want to leave. This year, it sounds like Arizona's asking price stayed high and no one bit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Price (no relation) Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Well. What are the odds there's another completed trade in the pipeline? because it looks to me like all MB did was load us up with more 4th liners than we can use.

Word is the price was set at a 1st rounder, and they would not budge. And nobody was stupid enough to pay that price. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's pretty clear the plan was to add toughness and shore up the D a bit, then depend on Price playing his best to eke out 2-1 wins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Price (no relation) Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Only four of our forwards are legitimate top-6 forwards. Our D is pretty solid. Weber, Petry, Markov are as good a top 4 as any in the league. We might be weak at 4, but our 6th and 7th are probably 5th on most teams depth charts.

Machine of Loving Grace Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 If you told me a team added Jordie Benn, Andreas Martinsen, Steve Ott, and Dwight King, I'd be convinced you were talking about a team that was ready for a lottery run in the draft.

Bergevin never has been afraid to pull the trigger...but the things he added don't add anything we need. They filled needs today, just not big ones. They needed centre depth after dealing Desharnais, that's the Ott deal. King might take Byron's spot on the checking line, allowing Byron to go to the 4th where he can be a bit more effective. Martinsen adds grit in a depth role and is a better fit than Andrighetto was. They're all very marginal upgrades but they fill holes. The top six is still a big hole though.

Not trading for Radim Vrbata or not trying for anyone that could be a top six forward. Nashville got Parenteau for the same draft pick Montreal got Steve Ott.

Saved all the top picks anyways. 3 picks in top 62 gives scouts something to work with and Bergevin chips to trade up if need be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't have wanted us to even trade a 2nd rounder for a washed up, old vrbata. But really was hoping to fill one of our 2 major holes (top D, or top 6). Instead, we now have 3 lines of 4th liners Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlbalr Posted March 1, 2017 Author Share Posted March 1, 2017 Streit to PIT for a 4th, Stafford to BOS for a conditional 6th, Korpikoski to CBJ for D prospect Dillon Heatherington. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
