HKSR Posted November 25 Posted November 25 4th round picks are the currency for failed (or at least downward trending 1st round picks -- see Podkolzin). NAS freeing up more cap... Trouba? Quote

Toccfather Posted November 25 Posted November 25 I see a lot of similarities in where we were at the tail end of the Sedins career, to where the pens are now. Locked in to nmc on several underperforming players, only have a couple players playing decently and management thinking they can spurn a rebuilding with acquiring young talent without addressing core issues of the team. 1 1 Quote

Bob Long Posted November 25 Posted November 25 39 minutes ago, Coconuts said: If the cost wasn't outrageous we could certainly do worse have to think there's a No Canada clause in that 15 team list of his. But maybe he'd waive to play with Hughes? It would have to be quite the 3 way deal tho, some how get CHI to retain 1/2 on Trouba, and also take Forbort, Vinnie and Hogs while NYR gets ? Dunno how it would work for us but it would be an interesting one. 2 Quote

Hughes-Trouba Soucy-Hronek Brannstrom-Myers The second he looked at another player he'd have a 10 game suspension. The stuff they allow(ed) him to get away with in NY was crazy. there's no way they'd give him the same freedom with his history in Vancouver. See vid for reference 1 1 2 1 Quote

Hughes-Trouba Soucy-Hronek Brannstrom-Myers Lord knows Vancouver (and all BC) could use another Dr. I like the thought very much. Footie as a D coach would be a draw, you'd think. They're quite similar players no? 1 Quote

Was there reporting of stuff like that? All I have seen is that he is the kind of guy you hate to play against but love to be on your team. He has been put in a really tough position as captain when the organization is publicly trying to trade him. Being a lame duck leader is bad mojo for any team, and not on him specifically. Quote
Drakrami Posted November 26 Posted November 26 Pretty good deal 4th round pick. ppg in the AHL, 23 years old, former 1st rounder. Quote
