That’s a steal my man!  You do that trade everyday and on Sunday. The goal is to win now!

Really don’t want to give up one of our only defensive prospects.

Rather give a forward. I’d have been fine giving Ponomarev because FUS is going to chase him down as soon as next year and maybe Koivunen too.

No extension in the deal. No matter what BY9 says.

Cool? Still happy with it either way, it'd ridiculous to keep hourding prospects instead of going all out, the Canes have a stocked pool they can afford to trade some.... I mean crap Vegas/TB sold off all their picks and prospects and guess what they have cups to show for it!

I can see where you're coming from, but what is the point of drafting so well if you're not gonna use that to win a cup. We can draft/develop another Morrow. 40 goal scorers are not as easy when you pick as high as we normally do.

Personal opinion but I think those teams have more high end talent than us and I think that’s what got them over the hump. Their deadline acquisitions provided depth.

For us, I think we have a lot of depth but not high end talent. If Guentzel doesn’t re-sign or we don’t win the Cup then we essentially gave away a top four defensemen for nothing. I’d be fine giving up a prospect with an extension, without is a big gamble.

Ultimately, I think the prospect hoarding comes down to us hoping that one or two of these guys becomes a superstar. I’m holding out hope for Nikishin and Nadeau.

I agree. I just think there are other guys I’d prefer to ship out.

Morrow is a PPG high offensive ceiling defenseman.

Nikishin IMO will be a superstar by year two under no circumstances would I trade him! Keep in mind Morrow isn't even a signed prospect....

 

Also I wouldn't call Vegas getting Jack Eichel not getting a superstar l.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.

      Moton Meets the Press

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.

      I think people aren’t patient enough with Young. It can take a few years for a QB to develop. Look at Darnold, Baker and most recently Daniel Jones.   he hasn’t been able to put up big passing numbers either cause of how much we run the ball. You can tell our coaching staff still hasn’t took the training wheels off Bryce and let him go all out. We’ve had some pretty bad receivers as well. We finally got a true number one last year and look how much Bryce improved. Still we didn’t really have any depth behind TMac. Coker was hurt for a lot of the year and XL was our #2. How many big plays or TDs has XL dropped? I think this year can be the year we see Bryce able to hit his stride. If not then we can start looking for another qb but I just ask people to be patient.
