hab29RETIRED Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 Love drouin hate the trade. We need to protect an additional player, yzerman gains a blue chipper who will be in his lineup - probably top pairing by the end of the year - without having to protect sergechev. This could be good if he was going to play with galchenyuk l, but i think galchenyuk is as good as gone now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meller93 Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 sCHill. New motto it is fellas! I can't I'm mad, but I did love Sergachev. Drouin is an excellent add though. Man. Gonna have to let this one brew. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think we are in on Jumbo I think we'll be in on Bonino or Anisimov. Is any of these 2 good defensively ? What about Marleau ?

He doesn't have to score 30+ a season but a decent 50-60pt guy I'm good with dealing Pacioretty for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except that the difference here is that Bergevin just made the trade, thus, it is relevant to the topic of discussion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both Anisimov and Bonino are good defensively. Marleau hasn't played centre in about 6 years. Thornton isn't really a centre either. ... He takes half the faceoffs (Pavelski takes the other half) on his line, but the last two years, Pavelski is playing centre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Chicoutimi Cucumber Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 Commandant is right that all we have to do is not protect Shaw, but is MB really going to expose his big free agent acquisition? That's the question. More likely Byron is gonzo. Expansion draft issues aside, I like the trade. Sergachev is a great future asset, and would have been a real key to our D-corps in 2-3 years, but that's the point. This team is ALL IN, right now. It has to win within its 3-4 year window. Drouin helps to address the most glaring weakness - scoring. That's looking at the team as it is right now. This trade makes us significantly better. The question is whether this now means that Galy is gone. It doesn't have to mean that, since Galy can be used at C, eliminating the 'problem' of all those good scoring wingers. But it probably does. In which case, this trade won't boost our offence as much as it might have had we kept Galy (we'd basically be swapping Galy for Drouin up front, and adding a Stepan) - unless we get full offensive value back for Galchenyuk, which is unlikely. If, then, this trade means Segy for Drouin + galchenyuk for (say) Stepan, then it's an overall short-term improvement, but as clear-cut a short term win as this deal is right now. And at that point I like the deal a lot less. It would amount to trading Sergachev for Stepan (since Galy and Drouin cancel each other out offensively). Much depends on the moves of the next few days. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
