Loathe as I am to add mercenary Russians, and he rubs me as a bit of a primadonna, but a Mitchkov for Petey trade wouldn't be the worst move management made - though they would never make it because Mitchkov isn't a centre. Maybe management can move him, then, for a better-fitting piece.

At least they'd be rid of Petey.

Debrusk on a rebuild: From the Province:

“I think a rebuild is hard for every player, but at the same point it’s a great opportunity for younger guys,” said DeBrusk. “This game humbles everybody and it’s been a little bit more than humbling this year. Obviously, that (rebuild) is not something I would be okay with or accepting.

“My game doesn’t fit that.”

Hasn't asked for a trade but it is pretty clear how he feels. After next season his NMC switches to a MNMC so it maybe be easier to move him. He has full control of where he goes but one would imagine if its a playoff team he would be open to moving now.

Appreciate his candidness.

Maybe he hasn’t asked for a trade, but if mgmt is as proactive as they’ve shown in the past, they’ve asked for his list of destinations.

He’s on a reasonable contract and would be a useful piece to a contender. Not sure he could fetch a 1st, but he may be one who could fetch more in the summer, once the free agency dust settles.

Boeser, otoh…

I mean, we're getting what we asked for...

...but God that's painful to see - almost as painful as it was to watch them last night.

Media is still not done burning it down and cheering on the tank.

Good news, this means they’ll be taking contracts back and they’re clearing space to do so

I would think so.

Also - The Vancouver #Canucks have recalled Victor Mancini from the AHL (likely just for Joseph, but who knows...)

Sounds like something is brewing between the Canucks and Islanders. Let’s hope.
