Morrissex95 Posted October 14, 2023 Share Posted October 14, 2023 trade Boeser, promote Garland to his spot. Seriously, Garland is a solid 50-point producer. You put him on the second line with Miller and he'll do really well. Garland makes less than Boeser too and can do the same kind of thing. This team is absolutely dreadful and will be for a longtime on account of the fact that they're constantly trading draft picks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are not trading a 1st to dump Boeser's contract (which your post indicates that you also don't want us to do). Garland is the one primarily being shopped right now because his contract should be the more moveable of the two. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We may have to do it for free or close to it but burning more picks makes no sense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only hypothetical caveat would be if there is a secondary trade afterwards that immediately makes us a much better team, but in order to do that we must first clear cap to achieve it. That secondary trade would have to be a no brainer though. Likely something along the lines of another top 4 RHD (relieving cap for trading team) for a couple solid prospects from us type thing. Not saying it should be done - definitely hope not - but saying it does remain a potential scenario. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep in that case we can assess the entire transaction and see if it's a net overpayment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sophomore Jinx Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 On 10/11/2023 at 4:38 PM, RWJC said: People are going think I’m nuts but I’d ship Garland (no salary retained), Rathbone and a 1st round pick to MTL for Arber Xhekaj and Michael Pezzetta. I would love to have a guy like Xhekaj on this team for the next decade in our D rotation. He just stood up to Ryan Reaves after a cheap shot hit to his D partner, and although it wasn’t much of a scrap, he manhandled Reaves a bit which was quite impressive. While we're at it, I'll take his younger brother Florian too, another big, strong kid....seriously though, Arber would be 2030 Bitcoin valuable to this team, oh man.

Agreed, but I would love it too. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
