Raanta sucks…. Costing us games.
I need some trades....SOMEONE offer me some stuff!!!
No one is off the table for me
Yeah, we’re just going to have to disagree. 23 is not the same as being 23 in the NBA/NFL. For gods sake, we’re at the point where we are putting Drury at 2C b/c KK generates literally zero offense for himself or line mate. He is struggling to win face offs which our team values b/c we rely on forechecking more than any other team in the league. He is a solid forechecker and physical on the boards but makes numerous o and d zone turnovers a game. We won’t win a cup with him as 2C.KK is still 23 and on contract until 2030. He's improved almost every year other than a dropoff after his rookie season when he only played 36 games (in Montreal). He's up to a 0.5 pt/gm player and there's no reason to believe he can't improve more as he hits his prime.
Necas is having a slightly worse year than last year...Turbo dropped off from 2 years ago....should we trade them?
I'm not saying it won't make sense to trade him at some point, but give him at least a year more to see where he is this time next season.

I like Turbo, but unless he gives a team friendly deal, he’s likely gone at the end of the season. Not sure what your point is. But yeah, I’m 100% willing to trade Tuevo in the right deal. Necas is probably gone too. He’s a perfect trade candidate imo.
That's fine to disagree....but IMO a lot of what makes this team, THIS team, is the chemistry and comfort of playing with the same guys and knowing who is going to be where and when.
I don't deny that KK is lacking this year, but throwing everything out because we've had a mediocre first half (albeit a very good 2nd quarter) is wrong to me. And IDK your opinion on Drury, but he has been playing well beyond where I thought he'd be right now. And I think he's a future top 6 player, if he's not already.
The point being is that if YOU are thinking these guys aren't playing well, what makes you think we'll get someone much better in a trade?
And this is not being snarky, but if we were to trade KK, what would you be looking for in a deal? Do you have some options in mind? Because I would honestly like to be more knowledgeable on the subject myself.
I'm just tired of teams selling off youth for veterans that are only going to get you to the same spot in a year or two.
(And my comments were made without knowing salaries for the other players, so if moves are made because of expiring contracts, I'll understand that).
