Description

Not sure if Vegas would require a prospect to go along with this trade but if they do I would add Neuchev to it.

The NJ trade is fair Joker is a great player and is coming off his best year yet. He’s just one too many offensive mind defenseman that we have on the team. Marion balances off the OFD and DFD that we have.

O’Brian and Stenlund add the grit and defensive Center we have been in need of for quite awhile and O’Brian’s physicality might awaken something in Greenway.

Rosen and Kulich will rotate through out the year on that 3rd line until one of them shows that they belong. And if we’re in it at the deadline trade one of them for another scorer to guarantee a playoff team if you need to.

Let me know what you think, is this realistic?

Yeah NJD passes quite easily. NJD also has no need for another OFD

I would be extremely surprised if anyone offered anything more than a 4th round pick for Krebs.

Personally, I'd rather re-sign Greer, or not do anything since we have plenty of bottom 6 forwards.

Interesting Maybe I’ve been fooled into thinking that players under 25 still have potential because of how Tage Developed but I still think that he has some potential to be 40 assists 10 goals type of player. Thanks for the feedback!

What do you think would be a good offer for Marino? I think the highest I’d be willing to go is a 1st

16th overall of value approximately, but if it’s not pieces that help us now, I’d simply say call back next year. NJD needs Marino, at least while Luke and Nemec get another year of development under their belt
