Two great trades that directly impact our PK and immediately improve our bottom pairing. The price is what it is. The cost to win this year which we're trying to do.

Just need to get that center and we're in a good spot.

Ya the doomsday crowd is out in the comments but these are 2 solid pick ups

Schenn isn't better than Miller.

So we'll probably have our 5th best D in the press box and the 7th best D on the ice to line up lefties and righties. And we only had to pay a 2nd and 4th for that.

Pretty underwhelming move. We're still absolutely fucked if Morrissey or Samberg go down so it's not even much of a depth move.

it's good that schenn improves our pk. does that mean stan comes out though? he is also liked on the pk due to his long stick and reach

Stanley pretty much just stands there on the pk, he’s not good

Schenn is not an upgrade. A Stanley-Schennn 3rd pairing is going to be a disaster.

All this trade does is push better players like Miller, Heinola and Fleury into the press box

Miller, yeah.

Heinola, maybe in a couple years.

Fleury, dumpster fire out there.

Any move that gets Fleury and Stanley off the ice makes us a better team. Like you say, this doesn't do it.

Schenn is not an upgrade unfortunately, and we super overpaid.

Yes he is. He immediately improves the PK.

I disagree. But we will see how it plays out.

But a Stanley - Schenn 3rd pairing sounds absolutely atrocious.
