Compher is a RHC with playoff experience...If we can get a Trocheck or a Thomas...I think Ol JT might fetch something nice in a trade.
Ras has a cheap contract...he might be moveable too.
Alex Tuch is a UFA...he'd be a nice FA signing if Buffalo can't extend him. Doubt Buffalo would want to move him to us
I'm more confident in Duren as a core piece than Ausar. Duren has made significant strides this year...Ausar seems like the same guy. Elite defender...but otherwise...
They need a top six F and a top 4 RHD. There are teams in sell mode with both of these.
Rangers...Trocheck and Fox
Blues...Thomas and Faulk
Canucks...Petterson and Myers
Flames...Weegar and Kadri
Either of the 1st two would be awesome...the next two less so.
SY has to make some kind of deal here. The playoffs are right there
Tkachuck taking himself out of the game for 10 minutes was huge.
If Toronto is dumb enough tovrum Matthews out of town..I'll take him. Don't think he'll sign another contract there regardless
I dont know..was he troubled last year byan accute injury that became nagging and has lessened, or is it a chronic issue that will always hamper him. I do not know
Talk on X is that the Wings are in on RHD McKenzie Weegar from the Flames.
They also employ the irascible Nazem Kadri...he would add an ahole dimension to the top six
