York has a chance to blossom into a special, long-term defenseman – so whatever center would be coming back in a potential trade needs to have that same upside in my opinion. otherwise I’m not ready to move him for the sake of moving him, even if that means a slight overpay. we don’t exactly have a ton of d prospects knocking down the door.

^ everyone said Torts runs the show and Briere is a puppet. Torts was Jonesy’s guy. Briere fired Torts. Seems pretty clear who is in charge. So the first thing you said makes no sense at all.

1. my guess is they’ll do one year of Shaw or Lappy, run the rest back and tank for McKenna, kick tires on Cooper in 26 and if he goes to Utah like some are saying than maybe they go with Ferschweiler then. He’s got a good thing going at WMU so he may be in no rush.
I just wish they’d go after Shaun Clouston.

2. maybe.

last I heard they weren’t even close in number. after the whole torts situation i wonder if he even wants to be here.

i guess that’s sort of my point – outside of McDavid and Makar and maybe Eichel who from that list could Briere possibly be talking about? There’s literally no one else noteworthy. Does he actually think those are possibilities?

I know we flew McDavid back from 4 Nations on our charter flight – did someone slip him a post-it note with an insane number on it?

Do you go to McDavid, Makar and Cooper and tell them all let’s form together like Voltron? Here’s som Comcast money?

I just can’t see what players Briere could be targeting from that UFA list it makes no sense.

Primeau could be interesting

really hope it’s Ferschweiler but don’t sleep on Jon Cooper
