With trouba and fox not going anywhere for awhile it may come down to trading Schneider or lundqvist as there are only so many slots. Who do you guys think is the one who goes?
Schneider is never being traded. He's going to be what our shit defense is missing. As far as Trouba goes. Don't hold your breath. If he won't accept a deal, they might buy him out and eat shit for a long time. My guess is Trouba will move to the left side. He's stupid no matter where he is on the ice when he's off his game so what side he plays doesn't matter.
My guess is Lunqvist is closer to being NHL ready than Schneider, so if the need to add a RD is urgent then my thinking is they trade Schneider (if those are the only two options). However, I don't think it is a one or the other situation.
I think it depends on what you may be trading for. If it's a stud C like Eichel, yes one may get dealt (I would think Lundkvist would be the more likely to get dealt). If it isn't in a package for a stud C I don't think either gets dealt and they make it work. A RD can shift to LD and join Miller and Lindgren, and it won't be the end of the world.
