I don’t want to make excuses for Samuelsson’s lack of play but I attribute much of it to him being plagued with injuries than to lack of effort after garnering a big contract. TBD. 
 

I’m more upbeat than most on Power. TBD. As far as a Byram, I’m for keeping him if a trade return is not sufficient. In my view, the GM is handling this situation well. 
 

On UPL, I don’t know.
 

 

I think you find out a lot about players after they sign the big deal... some coast... I think we are seeing that with Power, maybe Muel... others try to elevate their game I think like Dahlin and Thompson... I think that helps you identify the type of players you want... I have not given up on Power... probably have on Muel but am willing to see... but if we see the same this year they are part of the problem not the solution... just my thoughts..

Not sure if this has been mentioned in this thread (or the other Bryam thread, or the other Bryam thread). 
But could Anaheim use someone like Byram?  Because we sure could use someone like Mason McTavish.  He’d be an excellent 2C with potential to be our future 1C.  
The guy could be a future star.  I’m surprised he hasn’t been sent an offer sheet.

Anaheim could use Byram, yes. They do have Jackson Lacombe who is a very good LHD and Pavel Mintyukov who is still very young. Byram would give them another LHD option to pair with a few good RHD in Gudas and Trouba and youngster Luneau. 

It isn't a perfect fit but I could see them being interested. Their defensive pipeline isn't massive either so you might have to add one of the 400 RHD prospects (not Mrtka) but perhaps Strbak to the mix. I don't know is my answer to your question but McTavish is interesting.

Maybe Kevyn’s next tunnel vision project (besides loading up on RHD’s) is to obtain players with the same last name of former well known NHLers?  After MacTavish, he can try to get a Domi, Bertuzzi or even better a Tkachuk!  😁

All joking aside….I would not mind seeing this trade scenario happen.

This is my point about this team.  Adams is gambling on everyone staying healthy, producing and miraculously learning to play defense.  He is praying that a goalie (UPL) with one good professional season in 5 has another breakout season and if he fails Adams is hoping that another prospect, who can’t seem to handle the NHL game, finally figures it out.  I think Adams has a better chance of winning the Powerball.

IF McTavish was available you have to do that. Even add if needed.

I still think Neighbors is more likely cause Snuggerud can take his spot. Id even be okay if it was Byram plus Krebs for McTavish, if Anaheim needed a center back that had some toughness
