Feel like it’s Bunting, Morrow, and a 2nd. Hope I’m wrong.

That’s a steal my man!  You do that trade everyday and on Sunday. The goal is to win now!

The goal is to win a cup while not turning into the Carolina panthers in a few years.

It’s still not done yet. Buntings gear is in his box still.

Really don’t want to give up one of our only defensive prospects.

Rather give a forward. I’d have been fine giving Ponomarev because FUS is going to chase him down as soon as next year and maybe Koivunen too.

No extension in the deal. No matter what BY9 says.

Cool? Still happy with it either way, it'd ridiculous to keep hourding prospects instead of going all out, the Canes have a stocked pool they can afford to trade some.... I mean crap Vegas/TB sold off all their picks and prospects and guess what they have cups to show for it!

I can see where you're coming from, but what is the point of drafting so well if you're not gonna use that to win a cup. We can draft/develop another Morrow. 40 goal scorers are not as easy when you pick as high as we normally do.

Personal opinion but I think those teams have more high end talent than us and I think that’s what got them over the hump. Their deadline acquisitions provided depth.

For us, I think we have a lot of depth but not high end talent. If Guentzel doesn’t re-sign or we don’t win the Cup then we essentially gave away a top four defensemen for nothing. I’d be fine giving up a prospect with an extension, without is a big gamble.

Ultimately, I think the prospect hoarding comes down to us hoping that one or two of these guys becomes a superstar. I’m holding out hope for Nikishin and Nadeau.

I agree. I just think there are other guys I’d prefer to ship out.

Morrow is a PPG high offensive ceiling defenseman.

Nikishin IMO will be a superstar by year two under no circumstances would I trade him! Keep in mind Morrow isn't even a signed prospect....

 

Also I wouldn't call Vegas getting Jack Eichel not getting a superstar l.
