    Both of those are terrible. Giordano is ancient.

    At a retained salary he'd be a good vet addition for a year. He's still a pretty solid dman. If that was the final Eichel deal i wouldn't be upset with it. Then maybe you add a FA C like Stastny for the 3rd line.

    Looks like Seattle is making some very unexpected picks.

    Both are smart trades IMO. Gio with money retained is a good vet LD to add. And if we can get Eichel for that it is well worth it IMO.

    Essentially it would be like Seattle is taking Gauthier and we get Gio for a 3rd and Hajek (and Seattle retains money).

    The neck injury still has me not liking Eichel. However it doesn't seem like there is going to be much in the way of a #1/#2 Center this year.

    Absolutely fair on Eichel. I would trust that our doctors do their due diligence, and if they sign off on the trade we are good. Never a guarentee, but that's my mindset.

    Both of those are terrible trades. As usual you want to piss away our future for go for it right now moves when this team is not even close to winning a cup.

    Oh man, that is funny. As usual you don't understand what is going on here. Drury was hired for one reason - to make the playoffs - rebuild is over...period. You don't have to like it, but that's the way it is.

    I know you want to stockpile picks and picks for years and years, but at some point you actually have to try and win.

    Gauthier is nothing here. A 3rd round pick is whatever. And Hajek has shown to be a 3rd pair dman at best. Not a lot to give up for Gio, especially when you consider Gauthier could have been selected by Seattle for nothing.

    As for a potential Eichel deal, if we deal Jones, our 1st, Chytil, Strome, and Buch I am good with that.

    Jones is not close to one of our top D prospects.
    Our 1st is mid-round and we can afford to deal it this year.
    Strome is a nice player, but not close to Eichel.
    Chytil is the one kid we'd give up that could develop, but we keep all our top kids.
    And Buch is someone we need to move IMO instead of paying $5M + per.

    We keep all our tops kids, we'll still have a 3rd, and have multiple 4th's. What else could you ask for? Come on now.

    I'll tell you one thing, if they take Eberle from the Isles that's either a complete gift, or the Isles traded them a pick to take him. They would be able to re-sign a few of their players if that's the case.

    He may get dealt back here if there's a Gio trade.

    Eberle can't be too thrilled, even though the city is 100x nicer.

    And Blackwell will be back when we trade for Gio and Gauthier goes the other way.

    BTW - sucky Lou cleared a ton of cap space the past week. Good for him.

    I don’t think a team can re-acquire a player in the same season

    Maybe since it's the summer period it's allowed within a certain time frame?

    No desire to bring back Blackwell he’s an inferior talent compared to several young players we have
