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.
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?
Agree with Miller being Drury’s Hail Mary. No way he was thinking rebuild with the possibility of giving up a top 10 pick either last year or this year (if it landed that was last year). He thought Miller would at least limp us into the playoffs and Drury could continue his fits as to who he wants gone next.
Like you said, letting the entire league know u didn’t want Kreider or Trouba on the team anymore put us at a gigantic disadvantage in returns of trade value. Just one of the dumbest things a GM can do it let everyone know you want a player gone no matter what. Amateur stuff from an amateur GM
I don’t think they’d give McQueen for Panarin but I’d sign for it.
DET should be all over Trocheck. They’re loaded with high end prospects and should be competitive for the next 3-5 years at least. To me they’re probably the team that benefits getting him the most. I know I’ve said it before, but retaining on him should be on the table to maximize the return.
I wasn’t going to get into the keeping/signing players. He’s been hit or miss on that.
For as big of a disaster Nemeth was, we ended up losing the 42nd overall pick in 2025 in that trade and what will likely be around pick 34 this year which is absolutely HORRENDOUS when u think about it, the Trocheck signing was great.It was 12th overall, not 15th. And when ur going through a rebuild I’d take 12th overall every single day of the week over a 32 year old.
I’m not mad we’re rebuilding, I’m mad at who’s doing it given his track record. He gets smoked on trades, very rarely comes out on top.
JT Miller trade – bad
Keandre Miller trade – good
Nemeth trade – horrific
Buch trade – horrible
Kreider trade – horrible
Trouba trade – horrible
Reilly Smith trade – terrible
Kakko trade – terrible
Kravtsov handling/trade – terrible
Kane trade – horrible
Tarasenko trade – ok
Lindgren/Vesey trade – ok
Roslovic trade – good
Wennberg trade – bad
Motte trade – goodYou can’t reason with stupid. There’s fire Drury chants nightly at the Garden and TJ is the only person I know that still defends him. And TJ, I’m not calling you stupid, you’re just being stubborn.
Reilly Smith was one of the dumbest things he’s ever done.
Pitt gave up a 3rd to get him, he has a terrible year.
We give PITT a 2nd after his terrible year.
Then only get back a 3rd.Amazing. So 3 teams traded for him, 2 of the teams got a 2nd but Drury the genius is the only one to get a 3rd. Moron.
