Description

Probably should be investing in Centering but I wanted a $10m 3rd defensive pairing. 🤷‍♂️

For the record, before all the crazies come in here (even tho I’ve blocked most of them) this isn’t a prediction nor is it what I think we should do. Nice D, tho. 👀

I don't think those would be good investments

The Blues don't even respond to that joke of an offer. They probably wouldn't even accept that package just for the retention.

Where to start.......No team in the league would retain that much for that long! If you ever find yourself trading 6/7 pieces for 1 just go ahead and click that delete button up top!

You really going to pay that to play a dude on the 3rd pair. I mean if it was Hronek and pieces for parayko I'd atleast see it some logic in it.

Yeah, probably not.

Well, if we can afford it; why not? And as I communicated in the description, this is just a playful scenario but, there are certainly worse things than having a super stacked defense.

The forward lines are deep and you’re probably looking at a top 3 defense in the league with that group. Combine that with Husso’s level of play without that defense, and I’d say that group would be a force going into the postseason.

Also, with contracts coming off the books and salary cap increasing, we’d have over $35m in cap space after next season to re-sign whoever.
