I agree. Blake seems like the classic Cane type of player. He is one I would be very reticent to part with at the moment.

Trade KK, not Blake.

Jackson Blake  in his first full year had a 34 PT season while averaging only 13:54 Mins a game. You don’t trade a player with his expected potential unless it’s for a top tier 2C. 

 

I don’t see it. But who knows.

I would also move him for a top end goalie but I don’t think anyone’s selling off a good goalie for one prospect.

Trading KK is still probably a tall order. He has a no trade list and even with the cap going up, not many are going to want his salary for the minimal returns he offers.

Ideally, he had a "breakout" year early this season and then we can sell high like we did with Necas.

I like Necas wheels and his ability to create space with the puck on his stick.  Super talented and fun to watch.  But I don't like how his game translates in the playoffs.  Maybe we didn't have the right team composition for it to work, but his time and space disappeared pretty quick in the series' (plural?) where we got sent home.

Necas is great to watch but I firmly believe we were correct to sell high. I would be very surprised to ever see him come close to the clip he was scoring at during his time here last season.
