This team doesn't lose games because of what Lucic and Lewis do. I wouldn't even say they're top-10 on the list of major issues with this roster.

No kidding why fixate on the 4th line when you've signed the worst contract in the league and it hasn't even kicked in yet.

I liked your first reply.

And my post was absolutely true, plenty of wanna be insiders gaining followers on a day like trade deadline. Wasn't even speaking about anyone here.

Based on who they did acquire in Greenway, and based on what they paid (2nd) then that makes sense to say F No too

One could probably assume it wasn't the exact same trade being offered for Dube.

Yeah everybody here wanted to see changes but also everyone only wanted to trade away bad players, old players, or terrible contracts. Not really how it works.

Almost nailed it. Brett was a 2nd rounder. Mackey undrafted though.

This could be the boldest hold in franchise history. I wouldn't call it Indecisiveness.
This is honestly fair. No need to trade your big chips unless your price is met. Who knows, maybe the price is met next next season or in the Summer

a) depends what was offered; and

Curious who your 5 are.

Honestly, I hate this mindset.

Lucic and Lewis are our two worst forwards, and when you have a coach that consistently runs four lines and shows an enormous amount of trust in them, then they absolutely do become a problem - especially for a team who leads the league in one goal losses.

I know Benson is highly regarded and Sale as well. But Dvorsky has a Je ne sais quois about him.

Like, getting into the top ten would be super for CGY. It's a rock solid tier.

I don't think any of Toffoli, Hanifin, Tanev, Zadorov, Lindholm, or Backlund are horrible players, and that is who most people wanted to move.

Personally I wouldn't want to move Dube.
