PMAC Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 It would be great if we could get Thornton but I doubt he wants to leave San Jose. Steal would be fine too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not exactly a reclamation project, but he fits MB's Chicago 2009-2012 worshipping vision of the league. Eric Staal is another name I thought of. He doesn't really fit that 'vision' though. Anisimov wasn't with the Blackhawks until 2015, long after Bergevin left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's being dealt.. MB's answer at the press confirmed it.. Here's a list of players I could see coming back... Anaheim - Lindholm or Fowler. Calgary - Sam Bennett Carolina - Noah Hanifin Colorado - Matt Duchene Edmonton - RNH Minnesota - Brodin or Granlund Ottawa - Ceci (Dion has put them in a tough spot) Philadelphia - Courturier Winnipeg - Perreault or Trouba Not sure what the best return might be.. but I'd probably pick Hanifin. Moves beside Weber for the next few years 2nd choice would be Bennett... I think he's so undervalued. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commandant Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 Ceci is terrible and that trade would be awful Like legitimately Ottawa is better off if Vegas takes him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commandant Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 good value. I think we really have to get a centre if we move chuck though. If we move Chuck without getting a centre back, what is our trade chip to fill the centre need? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think if you trade a Winger for a Centre.... all other things being equal, you are probably downgrading in points cause wing is a less valuable position. That said, even if you get a C with the same offence as Max, I don't know how the team overall scores more goals, which should be the goal..

Yeah, even if he's a centre.... you need to keep your other forward depth. Adding Drouin to a group with Max, Chuck, Radulov, Gallagher, etc.... is a nice step forward. Adding Drouin and then removing one of the others for a defenceman... doesn't seem to increase our scoring to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IN THE HEARTS OF MEN Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 id rather Staal over anyone from Minny. plus that would be a huge blow to saku's heart if mikko went to montreal and won... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
