Sup Rick.
Panarin and caps seems like a very logical/likely trade
They have this kid Parascak who looks like a sniper, RW-17OA in ‘24. I don’t think Leonard is possible but man that would be nice
Panarin to WSH makes sense. Give Ovechkin one last run at it. I’d take Ilya Protas and a 1st. Maybe add a 2nd or 3rd round pick but that being the meat of the trade I’d be happy with.
If Trocheck is going to be traded; DET makes the most sense. Up and coming team, they’ll have him for 3 more years after this one and he’s a good vet for some of the younger kids. If we retain I’d want a top prospect, 1sr and some other B prospects or 2nds/3rds added.
Dream bigger. Panarin @50% for Ryan leanord + whatever salary needs to come back to make it work. Reunite him with Perreault. Then lafreniere and Schneider to sj for Will smith to get the whole line back together.

I’m happy to report EK is still at it
Panarin listed as a center
Robert Thomas listed twice with different teams and %
And my personal favorite, Elias Petterson with a 25% chance to be traded to us to reunite with his least favorite person in the world jt millerOk brukie whatever you say
Its not whatever I say, its how the team looks on the ice. With Miller the team is worse, how can you explain that?
I think I’m more tired of the players on this team than the front office. Maybe that’s where my disconnect is different then you guys. Get rid of all of them (older guys). My point regardless of buying selling retooling etc..you have to have older players to mentor players. Ie have Perrault play with Miller and Mika. You can’t have 20 players under 22 yrs old. Drury, for better or worse, wanted Miller and Gavrikov to be that new wave of older core players.
Moving forward- imo, Miller, Mika, Fox, Gavrikov and Shesty are the big tickets. Like they’re are all staying. Other guys need to be better (Cuylle, Laf, Schneider, etc) and add in some more youth in a variety of ways, draft right and sign smart contracts (like Trocheck was) and see what happens.
If they got Robertson I think we’d all feel much better about things. That’s the shot in the arm the fan base needs. I get the hate I do I just direct my hate elsewhere, it’s on the players not so much Drury. He gave them all 3 friggin coaches, a lot of money and they’ve been nothing but divas
You want Trocheck mentoring your young guys, not Miller. Thats what guys like Carrick, and Goodrow, are for. This is why I suggested getting Dumoulin and Grzelcyk, their experience, theyve played under Sully before and they would provide that short term stop gap as the younger Dmen develop.
When the attitude in the locker room absolutely stinks, its difficult for young players like Cuylle, LAF, Schneider, etc… to step up because its contagious. You need all 5 guys on the ice to work together, but if their heads arent in it, theres nothing you can do.
I dont want Robo if it costs us 1st round picks and our best prospects. This is a flawed team, all youre doing is replacing Panarin with Robo. More than anything, the team needs an attitude adjustment, they need a voice, a leader, someone to unify the team.
JD and Gorton told Dolan we need more time.
Drury like the snake he is said he could handle it and the time is now.
Dolan fired the other 2 and drurys true colors showed. Blame everyone else for his failures, nothing is his fault.Laf and Kakko were consensus picks. They got buried on the 3rd line with 0 PP time and 12 minutes a night. No other 1st or 2nd OA player got/gets treated the way they did. You know my feelings about Laf, but he got screwed in his development by this organization. He was never put in a position to succeed bc Drury was all about win now when it wasn’t time yet.
Getting rid of Kreider is bazar to me. He always showed up in the playoffs, was a locker room leader, remember his hat trick in game 6 a few years back in the 3rd period? Guy always showed up in the playoffs and that’s who we just salary dump?
