I've already said in this thread make it a bigger deal to alter our team presence and dynamic a la Quinns 1991 deal with St. Louis.

I also asked you if you would keep the first or Willander given your druthers.

I don't get paid to make hockey deals, JR and PA do.

I've noted the Blues as a struggling team who we could perhaps mirror the Ronning/Courtnall deal off of using Kyrou as an option.

I believe there potentially could be something there.

If it is a good enough deal to alter our future all assests are in play.

That's the job....

I wouldn’t even consider trading Willander or the first. If it’s Kyrou we are trading for it should be a hockey trade, ie Pettersson for Kyrou. Both are struggling. We are not in a position to keep draining from the futures well.

Ok....we're either not communicating or I am not making my point sufficiently.

I am not saying trade the 1st or Willander for Kyrou.

And trading EP for Kyrou would be pointless as we then would have no centre ice depth.

Moving on now....

I don't think a decent second line center is ever going to be available at a price we can afford.

I say we ride with Reichel and see where it takes us.

The kid could have 6 goals by now with some luck…

If he can do anything at all, it was a good asset value trade. I don't like to see them trading away first and second round picks, but getting anyone who can contribute useful shifts in the NHL for a 4th rounder is a win.

We would like to get ONE of the people excited on the subject matter.
I was assuming that there might be some people -- evidently not Rutherford or Allvin -- to whom F.A. would listen about such things.

We're pretty chill here compared to some of the Reddit threads I've been reading about the Aquas...

The crowd chanted "Fire Mike Gillis", and Franco did.

How about if the crowd chanted "Sell the Team!" ?

Yes, I've chanted heard the chants when I've been in the building.

Chants don't mean shit to billionaires so long as the chanters are still paying the price of admission.

No bums in the seat, no drunks in the concourse.

At least the ticket holder behind you will see this clearly now.
