I gotta say, this site really sucks.
My guy
Not trocheck for a top 10 pick straight up. Obviously
We would not be offering up the ammo that would get the Panthers to trade a top 10 pick.
Elliotte Friedman: Re Panthers: I’m very curious to see what’s gonna happen with that [1st round] pick; if it ends up being 1 or 2 [overall], I don’t know that you’re trading it, but if it ends up in that next little area, I dunno, just watch – 32 Thoughts (4/6)
Seems like Friedman reads this blog and agrees with me
You don’t think, for example, trocheck at 50%, our later 1st round pick, and a prospect like emery or something gets that done? Now if you’re saying drury sucks too much to even comprehend something like this I wouldn’t call you crazy.
A) I don’t think there’s a realistic price too high outside of perreault for adding a top 10 D and Center in this draft. Especially for this organization
B) There are teams that definitely want/need to be in the playoffs next year hovering around that #10 spot that would definitely take a roster player like trocheck in a deal for their pick. FLA, SEA, WPG, LAK. His no trade list becomes even smaller after this season ends. Also players like Schneider and Cuylle should be on the table for the right moveWith all of that being said. Let’s just pray we end up with Mckenna or Stenberg and then we don’t even need to worry about this
There is absolutely zero chance any of those teams trade a top 10 pick for Trocheck, ESPECIALLY not Florida. Florida has negative cap space and no depth at LD, so the potential to draft Smits or Carels, if anything I could see Florida trying to move up to draft one of them. That ELC protection for them is worth more than trading for Trocheck. SEA isnt a Trocheck away from being a cup contender so that would be silly on their part.
The best chance the Rangers have of maybe moving up is packaging Schneider and the Carolina 1st… but Im not sure how far up the draft that will get them, maybe to around 15.

If they don’t get a top 2 pick (McKenna or stenberg) that means they end up with one of the defensemen, which is fine. But drury should absolutely then try to trade up into the top 10 to also add one of the centers (Lawrence, malholtra, Bjorck)
A late 1st round pick without a potential franchise forward like stenberg or McKenna doesn’t do enough
Trying to move up to get another top 10 pick, using the Canes pick, would be an extremely expensive endeavor in this draft.

Coner Sheary on PP2? Team is really flawed when you do that.
where have you been? It’s been like that since panarin was traded
This team really doesn’t want a top 5 pick
It’s honestly really weird. Theyre not winning games with luck either, theyre beating teams outright. However, if this costs them a top 5 pick, I will definitely be annoyed.
They definitely need something to feel good about but goddamn let us get mckennna or stenberg
Do you get banned or something?
And for the record I told my ex wife the same thing. Fkin MAGA cvnt
I’m talking about you losing your mind
As far as me defending Drury…I’ll lay it out as I still don’t understand what you guys miss in all this (the last two years).
– They lost back to back seasons where they kind of choked, vs NJ (up 2-0 heading home) and then Florida series. Maybe it wasn’t a choke but it’s was clear as day how far behind they were to be true contenders after that series ended. It was a miracle they won 2 games they did.
– so knowing that he decided to basically blow up what he could, and it was mostly the leadership. Yea it got ugly, but how would it not get ugly? These guys all had clauses but you can’t just live with those results and not do anything about it. Running it back wasn’t an option. As far as the returns he got, they had no power there really. It was ultimately addition by subtraction anyway, and also cap space. The kicker is to a man we all said yea it’s time to move from these guys. Especially Goodrow and Trouba
-now this year..they start off very slow offensively, but defensively they were pretty good. Which was obviously an improvement from last season. The problem was they couldn’t score, none of them could. Then they lose arguably their two best players for long periods of time, Fox and Shesty. That’s 22 million dollars of hockey players, and the life and blood of the team. Boom season is derailed. Is that Drurys fault? No it isn’t. Point is, they could’ve been a playoff team if that doesn’t happen. They were the best road team in the NHL and that doesn’t happen by accident. The home thing was frustrating as hell but somewhat unexplainable. No one could figure that one out
– as far as Kreider and Panarin, specifically, they needed to move on from them because of the young wingers who needed to take the next step. Laf, Cuylle and Perrault. It’s fairly obvious now how that roster construction was holding them back, don’t believe me? Look what they’ve done since Panarin is gone. They’ve been awesome, all 3 of them. Panarin return? Again it’s the same thing, his hands were tied. It’s kind of crazy they got back Greentree because he forced his way to LA. He’s what we crave in a hockey player if he can develop
-Trocheck. Damned if he does and damned if he doesn’t. If he trades him for less then his worth he’s a fool, if doesn’t trade him at all he’s a fool. This is what I mean, he cannot win with this fanbase. The one guy who constantly rips him a new one didnt even want the guy heavily rumored we’d get, Stramel
so at least now he still has him and can figure out what to do. Trocheck is still a really good player that they could use. IMO I don’t even think they trade him, or ever really wanted to. Nest season the cap space is plentiful and they could be right back in the thick of it with some better health where they might regret trading himYou either believe in them or not. I realize I’m the only one who does around here. Maybe Aec and Rick have come around some. It’s not as bad as most of you relentlessly talk about tho, and not one shred of what I just said is false. They are all facts
Don’t you ever get tired lol
