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.

      The running back situation....

      By strato · Posted

      okay I found this and it sounds like my hopes for the first surgery being not such a great job seems like it could be actual reality.  I only hoped because that would give a better chance for recovery and ia a possible scenario so I just thought it could be possible. Had no real evidence of it. But I’ll be damned.    This is a detailed report of Brooks’ surgery and the condition of his knee after the failed repair.     https://x.com/jmthrivept/status/2055743129408704806?s= Sparked by some very good questions by @CoachspeakIndex, here’s some info on Jonathon Brooks: 1. Speculation that the first graft/ACLR by Dr. Cooper didn’t “take” or at least was too lax, leading to failure and re-tear. Brooks dealt with issues cutting, progressing in his rehab into the early stages of 2024 and then re-tore it late 2024, requiring a second ACLR in January 2025 (essentially revision). Notably, CAR prolonged Brooks’ rehab process through Sept-Oct due to issues progressing into the next stages of rehab. 2. Second surgery performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who has extensive experience with revisions. He did a double bundle technique, harvesting graft from Brooks’ left patellar tendon and a strip of his right IT Band (his right patellar tendon had been utilized for the prior graft in 2023. The double bundle technique significantly increases rotational stability of the knee, leading to a stronger and more secure graft/reconstruction. Also to note, Brooks’ surgery wasn’t significantly delayed, meaning that the tunnels from his prior ACLR were in good shape and they didn’t need to perform bone grafts to fill in (would have delayed 2nd surgery by 5-6 months). Essentially, reading the tea leaves tells me that everything else except for the graft itself was still in good quality within his knee. Good sign for future.  3. Typically, you see a performance increase anywhere from 16-20 months post-revision. Brooks will be ~21 months out from his second surgery by the time Week 1 hits. His knee should be more stable and stronger this time around, with adequate time for healing and return to all movement patterns. I’m not viewing this situation as a typical “Player __ had TWO ACL tears, he’s cooked” situation. Rather, I’m viewing it as the first procedure failed, but the second procedure is significantly stronger and should allow him to return to form this time around. I don’t know why it posted as a link but there it is.

      How can you say they aren’t trying to win now with all the moves made in free agency? Or is trading first round picks the only way to be win now? I’d be fine never trading another first round pick again, win now be damned.
