If they're trying to trade Skinner by getting him to waive before the expansion draft, we can send Skinner and Mittelstadt to Nashville for Ryan Johansen. Wam-bam, thank-you ma'am.

No, you can't. The Preds are looking to clean up there mess not add to it by trading a mess and adding another one. Nobody is going to take Johansen if you expose him.

They are stuck with Duchene, but they can make a lateral move at least and try to get him some scoring help.

Skinner, Mittelstadt, Asplund

for

Johansen, Jarnkrok

I don't think we can get Sissons.


I think my scenario is pretty even, actually. Mitts and Asplund give them a couple nice young assets and Skinner and Johansen need a change of scenery, with similar cap-hit and term. Jarnkrok is what we wish Girgensons could be.

Eh. I don't see any team currently in the NHL taking his contract without one coming back.

Maybe Arizona? Honestly, who's going to take his contract even if he waives? It's either give/take before the TDL or try to get him to waive to Seattle at the end of the year, but then you're stuck with him here for the next 4 months.

To where though? He has to waive and Mitts would almost certainly be a part of the deal, and going to a team with cap space.

Who? There's only 2 teams who could fit him right now with nothing coming back, Ottawa and New Jersey. Detroit and LA have space but no way they take him. Florida, Nashville, Columbus, Vancouver? He gonna waive to go to any of those places?

I've taken my mother in law to a few echl games down here

she still has a problem with icing and offsides and would never watch a normal game on tv

but you put an outdoor game on, she will watch a bit of it because it's different and must be special

she would never stop at nbc sport on a sunday night, but if it was on nbc she would be watching it if she found it

- homiedclown


That's interesting. This was an outstanding setting for the nhl. Of course it backfired a bit with the weather.

Growing up in Buffalo and playing the game, it seems second nature

Jordan Jacklin has a really good article in The Hockey Writers about Rusto and his development and how he should be playing in Buffalo.

Was hoping he was saying goodbye through the window on the bus, but unfortunately it was only a dream. So I take it you read the article.

Funny, with you bringing up Okposo name. Yeah and it sucks, Rusto would bring some speed and a scoring touch to that line.
