My somewhat realistic dream scenario since I know they won't rebuild this season or this summer.

1) They trade Bo, creating a downgrade at both center and wing, as Miller shifts to the middle and isn't as effective as Bo and is less effective than he was at wing

2) The Bo return is underwhelming when it comes to immediate impact, maybe they get a Carlo or Newhook plus futures, but neither will move the needle enough to offset the downgrade

3) Ownership is too cheap to do buyouts, they can't clear cap because most wingers have no trade value unless they're top line caliber or super cheap.

4) They suck again next year, Papa Aquillini has had enough, not because he cares about the team or fans but because he's tired of Francesco brining shame to the family name, one of the other Aquillini bros steps in and is hopefully more hands off and/or open to an actual rebuild

Although a long shot its probably the only scenario that may work 👍🏻

well my blow it up scenario does involve trading Bo so I agree with you there

But if the goal is to make the playoffs within the next 2 seasons(which it is), you're not helping yourself by trading the 30-40 goal faceoff beast center.

When they trade Bo, they need to keep trading. if they don't trade Bo, this team is stuck where it is.

This is what management did with the Boeser and Miller signing in the summer. Not that people need to be reminded...

Yeah, I'm really tired of the one foot in, one foot out approach.

Sign 3 career wingers in Boeser/Miller/Kuzmenko but yet let Horvat walk with the plan being to make the playoffs asap, not sure how that plan makes any sense at all. It seems like a great way to stay mediocre unless they hit a surprising homerun with the Horvat deal

Trade their best play off performer to make the play offs... now that's a great stratastoogie.

Dreger said that Wright isn't on the table from the Kraken.

Byfield from LA might be(which surprised me)


Says Drury and the Rags are "itching" for a deal(but I don't think they make sense for Bo with Trocheck there and them having limited cap flexibility moving forward). I don't think he mentioned them as Horvat suitor specifically.
