Kyrou plus a first round pick and a prospect....then they might think about it.

Kyrou isn't a slouch and is signed for 6 more years at a below market amount. Might have to add a mid prospect but not a first rounder.

Obviously I would love both those deals....My question is what is the actual cost in dollars?

Keep in mind that you have to factor in the overall bar tab that it took to get those GMs drunk enough to accept those deals.

Below market value? No he’s not. He plays 15 minutes in big games

If you're Ottawa....why would you trade your team captain and overall team leader for a guy who is on a "fair" contract just to get additional years. You might not get KT for Kyrou and 2 1st rounders....
If your Ottawa, and you truly wanted to trade him...don't you think they would get more from another team in the league than just Kyrou and a mid pick?

We aren't trading Faulk, we have absolutely no one to take his spot.
Ottawa is not trading Brady he’s their cornerstone. Let it die. Faulk will be top value at deadline of course you trade him.
For sure, try and spark some kind of bidding war for him.

Brady is a nice player but I don’t understand the fascination with him. He’s no Matthew, that’s the guy you give the farm for.

The Schenn deal sounds reasonable. The Caps laugh as they’re hanging up the phone.

We really don't have much to trade away.

Unless we are going full tear down. It's more important to get a top pick then big returns on guys.

Binnington has to be the first to go. As we go as far as goaltending takes us and they keep winning games for us. While a big game goalet is the one guy you should never trade. We have too.
Out of all of our guys. His value can swing the most.
If Army can sell Binny's ability to step up for the big games. The return should be pick and prospect. If he can't sell Binny. For stepping up in big games. He should publicly ask his only fans to be quiet.

The problem will come with the type of players we want in return and the always safe draft picks that may not score many goals. But can grind a fourth line.

The other problem comes when we go to play and coach cuts the minutes of those who can play in the offensive zone, for those who play in the defensive zone.

The historic genius ideal of a pair of offensive players to work corners and net front while our three defenders stay high so to throw up garbage to be swatted at by the five sticks or bounce off one of the ten arms or legs between the point and the goalie. Is not fetch.

That is why my proposal had Yak in it.

Sure youd lose Faulk. Kessel and Mailloux can just play. Or if Yak is ready play him?

The good news about trading with Carolina is that they draft exceeding well, and they have a lot of great prospects as a result. The bad news is that Carolina knows what talent is, and isn't. The chances of Army actually getting anything of value in trade with them is very slight. It's akin to sending your 4th grade daughter to do a hockey trade with a GM. It won't end well.
