Yeah I saw the list. Maybe it has changed since we acquired Tanev!Tanev
Lyubushkin
Murphy
was the priority order. Imagine we're talking to the ducks about Lyubushkin now

I was just thinking about this. At the start of the year, if you told me we would acquire Tanev, I would 100% expect that to be as Miro’s partner. I don’t think u can break up Miro and Harley now. Lindell-Tanev has to be one of the better tough minute eating pairs in the league.Harley - Heiskanen
Lindell - Tanev
Suter - Hakanpaa
Lundkvist
That top 4 is so f***ing good
I'm starting the deep dive on UMass as we speak... where I'm learning that Cole Brady is very much the backup... in his senior season. Devils wanted that reserve list slot.Cole Brady sounds like some random guy Piqued would have covered in a GDT
I kinda feel bad for Flames fans trying to tell themselves he's a great prospect.Grushnikov is who the Flames wanted?! Sure, knock yourselves out.
Incredible value. No 1st, no Bourque, no Bichsel. We even hold on to Dellandrea for use in another deal.
And this was supposedly a bidding war?
Another D upgrade would be nice, but there is 5 guys that will not be touched now.
Miro, Harley, Lindell, Tanev, and Suter. So do we move one of Hakanpaa/Lundqvist for a bottom pair RHD? Seems unlikely to me.
It's pretty clear at this point he doesn't have an NHL future. You need some level of puck skill to play defence in the NHL.I kinda feel bad for Flames fans trying to tell themselves he's a great prospect.
Feel like Hakanpaa goes for salary relief or Lundqvist to regroup draft capital we have lost. Hard to see us keeping both.Another D upgrade would be nice, but there is 5 guys that will not be touched now.

Poor Nils gonna get shafted again lol. I’m fine with that if we acquire one more player, not for Hakanpaa tho.
Need a bottom pairing dman that can skate and/or pass. A Suter-Hakanpaa pair is a disaster unless they play 8 minutes a night which won't happen. Hakanpaa can't pass and is one of the dumbest players ever to wear a Stars uniform. He pinches at the wrong time for a guy who is a stay home dman and he drifts out of his area too much. Suter can't skate and rivals Benn on laziness.
You can keep one of Suter and Hakanpaa but they will get caved in together. I would move Hakanpaa as long as it doesn't upset the Finnish mafia.
Yes no rush for sure. I just don’t want Hakanpaa playing in the postseason.I mean, Nils now has no obligation to rush back from a concussion. Especially if they acquire another Dman.
Eh, I wouldn't call Suter or Benn lazy, Suter's old enough to be Satan's dad. and Benn is probably just falling apart ala most guys who survive 13 years in the league these days.
I'm going back and forth on this. We know Harley-Heiskanen can work in emergencies but shouldn't we at least find out if Miro-Tanev can vibe and get Miro on his strong side finally? Tanev is the prototype defender we've always dreamed about playing next to Heiskanen.I'd be OK moving MIro to LD with Tanev and letting Harley run his own pair. That pairing hasn't been as good as people believe I think, especially defensively.
Suter-Lundkvist actually wasn't terrible for a bit there.Need a bottom pairing dman that can skate and/or pass.
