There has to be a trade coming, there just has to be.

Assuming Coghlan gets waived, would you rather have:

Slavin - Burns

Orlov - Pesce

Chatfield - TDA

Jones

OR

Slavin - Burns

Orlov - Chatfield

Skjei - TDA

Jones

This is a hypothetical assuming one of Skjei or Pesce gets traded for a top six forward.

Personally, I’d probably trade Skjei because his value is at an all-time high. I’m not sure if he can replicate last season again.

Lindholm - Nylander - maybe even Scheifele?

GMDW knows where Pesce's camp stands. 

I think he's talked to Skjei and his agent as well.  Really haven't heard much about this, but since Skjei was already making more than Pesce I would guess he's looking for a nice raise and term too.

At the end of the day after this move I think Pesce gets moved along with Coghlan and maybe a draft pick/prospect for maybe Nylander or Lindholm?  I'd hate to make Toronto's D stronger, but Nylander can score.  My preference would be Lindholm for two reasons:  RBA and him know each other and it sends Pesce West.

Stop it with the Nylander talk ffs. The dude isn’t a Rod system guy and there is far far better players out there we could go for with either Pesce or Skjei.

Moving Skjei right now is a mistake. The team is overloaded with right-handed defensemen and Skjei is but one of the 3 true lefties on the roster. Sure, Caleb Jones claims to have left and right experience like Chatty, but both of them combined from the left side aren't scoring more than Skjei from the blue line, so it's a loss no matter how you look at it.

Think of it this way- if Slavin, Orlov or Skjei go down with an injury, their replacement is Caleb Jones. Really?

who would have thought TDA would mesh with Rod's system? Not my first choice but if we get Nylander I'm sure it's an upgrade for us. Rod will work his magic.

TDA had a lot of personal issues/problems. That’s something not only rod can work on but Slavin, Martinook, Staal, etc.

Nylander is just not a two way player, is lazy and avoids contact on the forecheck. Those are not traits that are going to fly under rod. As I’ve posted before there are 2+ playoff videos where he gave up the puck on a rush forecheck to avoid contact. That’s a reoccurring theme.

Maybe Rod can fix that, but why expend the resources, Nylanders stats will come down in a by committee team, and if he can’t provide two way and forecheck we don’t need him. 
 

And as I’ve said before we don’t need a regular season forward. We need a playoff scorer. There is a big difference, Nylander is not the second, at least what he’s shown before.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.

      Not a chance the SEC could compete with the NFL.  In the large cities that are not in the Southeast, (LA, NYC, Chicago, SF) College football is an afterthought.
