Would rather trade:
1. Kapanen. I don’t think his value is going to get much higher (to other teams) he is under contract @ a decent # for a few more years. But, if they wait too long then other teams can shift focus/he can feminist his own value with inconsistent play.
2. Engvall. Too much money for a meh, player. I know they didn’t know the season was going to be halted & revenue would dry up. This the cap would stagnate. But, this was an unforced error. Now, some believe he wouldn’t clear waivers... great that means he has value. Trade him.
3. Bracco. Stuck behind one great similar player (in terms of style of play ,Marner). Bad luck for him, I don’t feel that he has the maturity yet to change his game to better his chances at a NHL spot. He may just need a change of scenery.
4. Johnsson. Like him when he is healthy. Just a bit annoying to the opposition & has the skill to play with good - great players. But, so does Soup, Kerfoot & Hyman. I would rather hold on to the other three, give opportunities to other players & have a better chance at a solid D-corps. Then run back with Johnsson on one of the top three lines.
A) Soup is better on the defencive side of the game & most likely cheaper.
B) Kerfoot is more versatile (LW & C) plays a similar role, granted less annoying to opponents. But, is a very smart hockey player (an oxymoron to some, I know).
C) Hyman....nuff said, although he may be in for a BIG pay day soon.
