How about Huberdeau @50%…

Lou is gone and I don't see Darche going in on Kadri.

He likely uses that first to get a younger player.

Shockingly, he's the only Quebec-born player in the league that is on pace for more than 45 points.

Did I miss something?

Why are the Pens trading Mantha?

Like you said, he’s having a great season and the Penguins hold 2nd place in the Metro.

1st plus Bystedt is part of the package Sharks are offering for a signed Panarin. These were 2 of the 3 pieces for a signed Andersson. Sharks would move out salary to the Rangers as well.

Was told up to 9 teams are in on Panarin including Dallas, Carolina and LA.

Depending on what that third piece was, Craig did very well in dealing with Vegas given the lack of extension (for now). Even if he signs in Vegas, 1st + 2nd (possible 1st) + whitecloud (2nd+?) and wiebe looks pretty good

OilFan said it was Collin Graf.

Seems like the Sharks are rushing things. Celebrini is awesome, but I still feel like they’re a couple years away. Panarin will be old (he’s already 34) by the time Smith, Dickinson, Misa etc are all in their prime.

I appreciate the info, but seems like weird timing for San Jose

Well then trade the 1st for Frost. Younger player almost certainly means a player that is not as good as Kadri and Frost fits that.

Adorable that LA still thinks it’s a contender.

I agree, especially when they need serious help on the back end.

Panarin will help them be a bubble team, but will just hurt them when they are really ready to rock. The assets they want to move for Panarin are better spent on defence help.

I'm not sure a centre on pace for 38 points based on getting decent ice time and PP time is the answer.

Lots of players fit the bill of being worse than Kadri.

Depends on the contract and Celebrini. In case some aren't aware, he is 19 on pace for 125 points which is the 2nd most points in NHL history with only Gretzky having more. 5 more than Crosby got. That's a different level

He is on his ELC and teams like the Oilers have been to the finals twice with 2 players and junk around them. Add Panarin and they aren't just a bubble team. They already are.

With his cap hit next year and a place players want to play and with a player that is on a different level than 99.99% of players that have ever played the game, they can be a contender next year.

Just feels like VGK will some how end up with Panarin

Hope so. There needs to be steep opposition to the Oilers advancing in the playoffs.

[mdubz]

I hope this dynamic 100+ point winger is traded to a team that has no creativity and plays a dump and chase style!

(Although with what's going on in Minnesota no chance Kadri is waiving to go there)

Not sure they would be on his list if was created in July or Sept.

He isn't getting traded to us.

[Monahammer]

Lol Frost is not even worth close to a 1st. That's hilarious.

[Sandman]

Could Boston use a Center? How about Kadri for Geekie?

[The Fonz]

If we can move Kadri or Coleman for a late 1st, it'd be cool to draft the Ruck twins. Button has Liam @ 22 and Markus @ 29 in his latest ranking.

Coleman to DAL for their '26 1st. Would give us 2 picks in the 22-30 range (probably).
