There has to be a trade coming, there just has to be.

Assuming Coghlan gets waived, would you rather have:

Slavin - Burns

Orlov - Pesce

Chatfield - TDA

Jones

OR

Slavin - Burns

Orlov - Chatfield

Skjei - TDA

Jones

This is a hypothetical assuming one of Skjei or Pesce gets traded for a top six forward.

Personally, I’d probably trade Skjei because his value is at an all-time high. I’m not sure if he can replicate last season again.

Lindholm - Nylander - maybe even Scheifele?

GMDW knows where Pesce's camp stands. 

I think he's talked to Skjei and his agent as well.  Really haven't heard much about this, but since Skjei was already making more than Pesce I would guess he's looking for a nice raise and term too.

At the end of the day after this move I think Pesce gets moved along with Coghlan and maybe a draft pick/prospect for maybe Nylander or Lindholm?  I'd hate to make Toronto's D stronger, but Nylander can score.  My preference would be Lindholm for two reasons:  RBA and him know each other and it sends Pesce West.

Stop it with the Nylander talk ffs. The dude isn’t a Rod system guy and there is far far better players out there we could go for with either Pesce or Skjei.

Moving Skjei right now is a mistake. The team is overloaded with right-handed defensemen and Skjei is but one of the 3 true lefties on the roster. Sure, Caleb Jones claims to have left and right experience like Chatty, but both of them combined from the left side aren't scoring more than Skjei from the blue line, so it's a loss no matter how you look at it.

Think of it this way- if Slavin, Orlov or Skjei go down with an injury, their replacement is Caleb Jones. Really?

who would have thought TDA would mesh with Rod's system? Not my first choice but if we get Nylander I'm sure it's an upgrade for us. Rod will work his magic.

TDA had a lot of personal issues/problems. That’s something not only rod can work on but Slavin, Martinook, Staal, etc.

Nylander is just not a two way player, is lazy and avoids contact on the forecheck. Those are not traits that are going to fly under rod. As I’ve posted before there are 2+ playoff videos where he gave up the puck on a rush forecheck to avoid contact. That’s a reoccurring theme.

Maybe Rod can fix that, but why expend the resources, Nylanders stats will come down in a by committee team, and if he can’t provide two way and forecheck we don’t need him. 
 

And as I’ve said before we don’t need a regular season forward. We need a playoff scorer. There is a big difference, Nylander is not the second, at least what he’s shown before.

      Panthers possibly trading Thielen?

      By CPcavedweller · Posted

      I wouldn't be opposed to trading for Sanders and seeing if he could be developed here. We have zero plans, and I really don't think it would take Sanders long to produce more than Bryce has. Plus, he's on a 5th round rookie contract and if he became the guy, you instantly have three years to build a core of talent, much of which we already have.  I get flamed for this opinion but it is what it is, and I've been right about these type of things the past three years.  I said Nix would be a good NFL QB. Wanted to keep Darnold and trade down in 2023. Said QB play wasn't the QB's fault under Rhule, but rather the offensive design.  Give me Sanders in the room for a year with Bryce and Dalton, see what he can develop in to on the cheap. There are no really quality QB's coming out this year that aren't Allar or Manning, and Manning may not even be coming out.

      basically if the panthers trade Thielen they're not trying to win this year. I mean they're not going to regardless but this means its the plan not to.  no team is going into the season in 2025 with 80 career catches between their top 3 healthy WR.  you'd be turning this from a bottom 3rd of the league offense to like the nathan peterman bills pair that with a defense that is most likely going to struggle, and they're looking at 2001 again.
