Albatrosss Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 Nash Grabner Strome Fox Zibanejad Trouba Got a pick for McLeod Wait and see with the McDonagh and Stepan trades. And might also get a 1st out of Zuccarello. not robberies, just hockey trades. and I wouldn't call trouba trade a robbery just yet. The reason Trouba came cheap is that there's no certainty he'll stick around after this season. the guy has a history of not wanting to play for teams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 Red flags all over the place on this kid. Stay away. That's the reason he could be had on the cheap. I think he's a risk worth taking. Especially if it's for a Vesey or Namestikov. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted June 20, 2019 Author Share Posted June 20, 2019 Zibanejad deal and Trouba deal are both huge steals for Gorton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albatrosss Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 Zibanejad deal and Trouba deal are both huge steals for Gorton. I disagree. Zib was considered damaged goods with his concussion problems. they traded him for a veteran with an exceptional playoff production to compete in the playoffs. Trouba deal looks really good now but what if he doesn't re-sign? would it be a steal then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was considered "plateaued" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albatrosss Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 No, he missed 4 or 5 games in the previous 3 seasons combined. He was considered "plateaued" 69 games in his 3rd year with Ottawa. 80 and 81 the next two seasons. then 56 games with the rangers. There were definitely talks of him being concussion prone, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albatrosss Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 yup, bone concussion. its serious shit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThirtyONE Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 That's the reason he could be had on the cheap. I think he's a risk worth taking. Especially if it's for a Vesey or Namestikov. I mean, I'd drive Vesey to Edmonton myself but that said Puljujarvi probably needs less playing time or even AHL time to get his confidence back and begin his true development. He was resistant to both of those things in Edmonton -- and by resistant I mean he's threatening to breach his contract and go to Europe. By all accounts he's not ready to step into a major role for any team. Ray Ferraro said he wasn't even an NHL player on TSN radio yesterday. I have no problem putting him in Hartford but I have a problem with a rotten apple spoiling the bunch, especially when we're trying to create a new environment down there.

Dunny Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 I watched him live three or four time last year and I'd agree with Ferraro. I didn't see much of anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RodrigueGabriel Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 My first reaction is to pass if he has a standing refusal to go to the AHL. If he wants a 2nd chance he needs to acknowledge that he blew his 1st and not come in with a bucket full of conditions.
