How Doers get more done

Apparently JR told all of the Pens ufas to test free agency first so I guess he's not in a hurry to re-sign any of:

Nick Bonino, Matt Cullen, Trevor Daley, Ron Hainsey, Mark Streit and Chris Kunitz.

I think they'd like to keep Bonino and probably Kunitz if the price is right. The rest are probably gone no matter what. They'd take Cullen back for sure but he's like 99% likely to retire.

I like Stepan, but I also like how every player thrown around in trade talks has been younger than him.

seems like the right approach, i'd rather the penguins let all of those guys go than risk giving them bad contracts. dumoulin, schultz, and sheary have to be the biggest priorities and anybody else has to get paid from whatever cap space is left after that.

I mean he sorta did, Sergachev is that but more ready. You mean like a low first instead of the 2nd in addition?

Also why are the Habs wanting to trade Galchenyuk besides ~Bergevin~ -- their forwards actually look decent now with Drouin.

Sergachev had zero growth in his +1 season, that's usually a red flag.

McDonaugh, Subban, now Sergachev. Third time's the charm. Timmens please stop drafting star defensemen.

I'd say so. The Habs are picking 25th this year. Sergachev was a 9th overall pick last year (a much stronger draft) and was good enough to play a handful of games in the NHL. He kinda flatlined a bit to start the OHL year, but he was the best non-overage defenceman in the OHL by the end. He's quite a prospect. I wouldn't say a future top pairing guy, but a very good 2nd pairing guy in the making.

Aphrodite posted:

He was better than his rookie year, but yeah he didn't exactly set the world on fire. He was still a finalist for OHL defenceman of the year, and if not for 21 year old Raddysh going on a tear he'd likely have won.

I feel like if Tampa gets the better player out of this exchange either their scouts have future-seeing magic or they planted a bomb inside Drouin's ankle set to detonate in training camp.

Sergachev was a first-rounder last year, wasn't he? It's basically a first and conditional second.

Always possible that all the flapdoodle about Drouin going AWOL last season is still following him around. Should be interesting to see if this is all the Habs have going on, or if it's just the first shoe to drop.
