I like Fasching he was the key piece to the LA Deal why would they move him. Larsson and a 2nd. No but a Big No for Bapiste, Bailey or Fasching getting moved.

Is David Poille ever gonna figure it out. All his teams have had plenty of great defense but hardly any offense. Until he moves one of those defenseman for a proven offensive player they will continue to be knocked out of the playoffs without ever getting to the cup.

I'm not worried about Murray not signing any of these free agents. Most of these free agents are grossly overpaid and aren't worth it long term. I just don't want Murray trading any more of our key assests for a defenseman. Bailey, Bapiste, Fasching are key components going forward.

I like Larsson. He's always moving and he's hard to play against. He's a very good bottom 6 guy. I don't think he should be moved yet.

Patience my friends Murray knows he needs help on the backend and besides Oduya who is up their in age. I would much rather him trade for a younger defenseman.

Who Cares if Hodgson signs with the leafs. Murray is building a team that's going to be tough to play against. O'Reilly and Zemgus are hard players to play against. Now you throw in some skill guys like Kane, Eichel and Reinhart and Wow what a difference a year makes. We know he's gonna make a move for a defenseman but patience is needed. He can wait until teams that are cash strapped like the Islanders did last year.

I think Murray makes a trade for a defenseman if he can't get any of his free agent targets for a decent amount of money. I don't see much Murray could want with what's left with the defenseman out on the free agent market. He's building a tough team to play against and most free agents left don't fit that bill.

He should stay with the Ducks. Not interested him at all.

Sunder was Darcy's pick. Samuels-Thomas was a reach and Dalpe just a fill in for the tank.

It should be interesting to see who Murray targets in free agency. Just the thought of O'Reilly and Grigs two way game should be exciting to see. Want to see Ennis with guys that can create room by themselves now which I believe makes Ennis more dangerous. Already planning my trip to Arizona, Anaheim and Los Angeles as this team should be pretty solid.

I don't get why some teams wouldn't trade for Hodgson. Yes we know his defensive shortcoming and his big contract. The guy is still young and working on his skating. Guy has some talent as we all seen it. I'm willing to let him play it out and if he fails then move him. It's a totally different team right now. If they do move him I'm sure he's got some trade value. Let's face it we got a lot better this offseason but our depth on wing and defense needs to be addressed at some point.

I wouldn't mind Murray using the last of his seconds and both of next years to possibly move up.

I think Bapiste might surprise people in camp

Interesting what they said about O'Reilly that the players on team Canada especially Crosby ranting about how good O'Reilly is.

I'm glad that Murray is proactive in trades and goes after players he wants but overpaying for these players is just plain dumb. That's why I have a feeling Hodgson and Grigrenko will both be moved for next to nothing when both should be given a shot under a new coach. Not a fan of buying Hodgson out if they still plan to. Let's see what he does this year and if he plays poorly then u move him or buy him out

Don't trade next years first for O'reilly

I'm just hoping Murray doesn't pick Strome or Marner now.

Why do I have a feeling he is gonna give away Grigrenko and Hodgson for nothing soon.

I agree. All these 1st and 2nds shouldn't be given away easily. If Murray keeps making trades and setting the market he is gonna get owned by other GM's I'm hoping Murray doesn't choose Strome or Marner now at 2

I agree they don't need help getting to the cap floor. Let's see what bonehead move Murray makes. Grigrenko for a teams third round pick? Hodgson is good as gone for nothing I'm guessing

Yeah we get that but he could have signed a goalie short term and still been okay. This was a terrible hockey trade. I'm pissed. Just because we have assets in pick means we just give away more to acquire a mediocre player.

Yeah no kidding

Legend we don't need and we could have signed a goalie in free agency. I'm not liking this deal. If it was the late second then fine but 21? So I guess we won't be moving up now. Brutal

Wow now I have to question Murray as a GM. That's a terrible trade.
