The FL trade would be accepted. They won't play Pettersson on the left, so if you are shipping out Gudbrandson you better have someone who can play RHD.

Accepted by who? Not Florida. They are trying to get Panarin so why would they trade his best friend? Why exactly does Florida want Kessel? No thanks from Florida

Do you really think Panarin will opt to sign with Florida? You're very optimistic, then. I'm pretty sure that Florida isn't on his top list teams to sign.

I was thinking about it, yesterday. I'll try to do it in a trade involving Bjugstad.

Well, I made a trade to get Martinez. He's no RHD, but he plays as one in LA, so he's used to. I couldn't think in any better available option than him.

It actually is one of his preferred spots. Best friend in Dadonov, favorite coach in Q, most likely will have Bob there as well.

Well, if he chooses to play with friends rather than win cups, maybe he signs with Florida, then. To me, that'd be a terrible choice. There shouldn't be nothing more important than win cups to any player. And Florida is not a franchise to achieve such goal, in my opinion.

Luckily your opinion doesn’t mean much, maybe he wants to go there because he believes they are close and adding himself, Bob, and coach Q will help them get over the hump. Florida has a very good young core, that can score with anyone. They need goaltending and a shutdown defenseman and that will improve them dramatically, not saying they will be Cup favorites but contenders....absolutely.

In fact, my opinion doesn't mean anything at all in NHL (and maybe here as well). But I'll give it anyway. Lol
As for Florida, I'm not saying they're a bad team. But far from being a real contender. They're a bubble team. A Cincinnati Bengals of the NHL (obviously I'm a Steelers fan). Lol

I respectfully disagree

No problem, man. I'm a democracy and free speech lover. Lol
These days it's not so obvious to appreciate such things, unfortunately...

Amen
