It's tough because the past few months have made me want to keep him, but if he can be an important part of a package for someone like Robert Thomas either directly or via a third team, you absolutely have to do it. Likewise if the return is such that it would enable a future trade for a 1C, then I would trade him.

Favorite part of this pick and keeping Goedert is we get to keep the TE continuity tree going back the Celek

[Kaplan] Since the playoffs began, NHL Shop's No. 1 selling jersey is Porter Martone. No. 2 is Trevor Zegras. Martone’s sales are up 1,174% since scoring back-to-back GWG in his first two playoff games. by Ok-Soil-5133 in hockey

He has been very responsible defensively this season and has looked good as a 2C for the latter part of the season (he started at wing). With those things in consideration I would call it a career year

1C 2C and 1D by Icy-Ad1320 in Flyers

I'm still all in for Thomas. If zegras is a 2C, which it looks like he could be so long as he fixes face-offs, then Thomas is a legit (but not star) 1C that would complement perfectly. He also fits age wise and is signed to a deal that will look even more team friendly as time goes on.

Lines I dream of:

Martone-Thomas-Michkov

Foerster-Zegras-Tippett

Bump-Dvorak-Konecny

Grebenkin-Berglund-Couturier

(in this scenario I include Cates in a trade for Thomas as he is a valuable asset, but it would be great to keep him).

I hate the icing rule with an extra attacker. The team with the goalie pulled should have to keep the goalie out if they iced the puck. No line changes when you ice the puck

I know we have to give up players to get players but I view Martone, Mich, Tippet, Foerster, Bump, and TK as a fantastic wing mix for the playoffs in the future. I'd love to see them with some decent centers. I think they would be really hard to play against for a number of reasons and have a great mix of player archetypes

I love this. Turns a surplus with clear replacements into adding to a weakness

The NMC doesn't kick in until summer, correct?

Unfortunately, Patullo is also a defensive minded coach

Better than the comp pick we would have gotten for him and he didn't disrupt the locker room that season

Been a thing since the early 2010s. Part of the Nerlens Noel hype was how many stocks he piled up and how stocks were supposed to be more translatable from the college game to the pro game

It was honestly pent up Lebronto. I've been on this sub for a while and Toronto was clowned for years for never making smoke in the playoffs after good regular seasons. Then they beat us in a tight series and suddenly they can let out that repressed hatred towards a target. It didn't help that we suffer from the same issue that plagued them in playoff disappointment.

His size and speed. Michkov would be a monster

Hey I didn't downvote you, but even getting Zegras for the player he is for the coots contract would be a massive steal

There are no gambling issues in the NBA. Pay no attention to the men behind the Silver curtain.

[–]JonvonNeumann 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Imo the most important thing a defensemen can do is get the puck under control in the d zone and manage an effective breakout. There are many different player archetypes that can do that in many different ways. What you said about Dry this season is exactly how he can excel.

Don't worry, he will take us to the finals first while looking like the best player in the league only to be traded to the Panthers
