can we keep stew and give them duren?

where's anne murray when you need her?

btw, i hope you all are right about larkin's value! i still think the most logical trade partner is utah. sounds like we could get something done with them which would be great. we wouldnt deal edvinsson for hughes but we might for misa or #2 pick? interesting...

i cant believe people think larkin is equal in value to 24 year old jack eichel. eichel coming off experimental surgery and not being able to play for half the season is about equal to prime/healthy dylan larkin. that's why were saying stevie will likely get a first, a prospect, and some young roster filler third liner. and that would be fine value for larkin. look, if san jose is insane enough to give us the #2 pick in a good draft for dylan larkin, you take it. if they offer misa for larkin, you say yes before they finish the sentence. larkin is 30 and at the end of his prime. youre not going to get as much for that as you would for a younger player with superstar potential. the one advantage you have is that he has term at a great nunber. debrincat is 28 and getting toward the end of his prime. he has one year left on his contract. he is a good scoring winger. he is NOT quinn hughes and wont bring back what hughes brought back. and if he signs an extension it will be for big bucks. as a one year rental? he aint fetching the #2 pick in the ****ing draft.

my god, i wonder what you guys think mcdavid would get on the trade market...

eichel was 24 at the time of the trade and a better player than larkin. he waa also coming off experimental surgery which is why he went for aa low as he did. and he got the 16th pick in the draft in return, not the #2 pick in the draft. when was the last team that traded a top 2 pick for a 30 year old?

larkin and edvinsson for misa or #2 plus a player has been posited by some people. sharks need a top defenseman.

jesus, i thought "i" overvalued dylan larkin...

i caution you against using the phrase "the bulls arent dumb enough to...." have you followed the bulls? they are "dumb enough" to do just about anything. the real question is whether their cheap asses would actually spend the money.

lol. me too!

There are lots of weak parts to the US team. i would put central defense at the top of the list if Richard can't play. i would also say this doesnt seem to be a vintage US keeper class. there are no Friedels or Howards, or even Kellers here anymore. I was encouraged by the Germany performance even though they lost and the Senegal performance. Pulicic played well in both games and he's the key to their offense. we'll see if paraguay does the usual south american thing and beats the living **** out of him all game. US is playing at home and should advance. after that its a crap shoot depending on matchups. they have a decent squad, but ultimately not the type of talent that would trouble the better sides in the world.

i want them to trade larkin for some 23-25 year old talent and a couple picks and re-sign debrincat.

ok, i think you would get a decent return for him, but not the #2 pick in the draft. he's also 28, is small, and doesnt play a premium position.

did they laugh him out of the room? im sure its babcock related. that said, edmonton probably asked if he wanted a paycut, that would make it easier to trade you. and lets just hope detroit wasnt on that list.

the #2 pick in the draft, not a second round pick. you will go way out of your way to criticize steve yzerman. lol.

hey, it never hurts to ask... but realistically, you would have to include edvinsson for any deal for the #2 pick. the #2 pick is a cost controlled, below market conteact for a number of years for a player who should have a longer career than debrincat has left. debrincat is a scoring winger. a small one. and he is at the end of jis prime. you dont give up a potential franchise player for a small, scoring winger.

and outplayed germany for most of the game. (although they were lucky to male it out of the group. it required a complete implosion by portugal against s. korea when the koreans were actively trying to lose. people forget how corrupt that world cup was seeing how many decisions suddenly went korea's way in the knockout stages.)

Wu Tang lifts the Trump curse. can we get them to play the 4th of july celebration too?

btw, the only reason the spurs are shooting so well is because del said how great the knicks' defense was...

you want so desperately to be right about the knicks in this series that youre making crazy statements like taking josh hart over ausar. 🙂

there is no way san jose is giving up #2 for alex debrincat.

ausar if the knicks were smart. i'd start him over josh hart.

😮

the bet is ausar continues to grow and turns into more of what his brother is. ausar as ball handler and offense initiator. it just bugs me that they're willing to go so high on duren and are apparently not even thinking about moving him. in the end, it means they move stewart, which should be enticing to lots of teams.

form is fleeting, talent is not. davies and david are really good, especially davies. but when your best player is a right back? youre probably not winning a world cup.
