A shame he made it difficult on himself by not doing it in the summer. Not gonna be easy to do it now and everyone's gonna know he'll be desperate and be feeling the heat so it may take an overpay to get anyone decent.
The longer this continues, does it make the possibility of Nylander for a legit 1-2 D actually possible?
The problem is, their forwards kinda make it a requirement to really really need very good d. Domi as a 3c, for example, is never gonna result in a good 3rd line defensively (which is fine as long as their d can handle the extra pressure + the 3rd line scores more goals than they allow). On Kyle's teams you could kinda get away with having d injuries or just mediocre D because they were loaded with vanilla suppressors up front.
I agree with you in theory, just seems extremely unlikely to occur in reality. Which is why I am concerned and skeptical. Would love to be proven wrong though.
for your video collection, maybe. not for a hockey trade.
Im not advocating it, but the problem with dealing pending UFA Nylander for a 1-2 D is finding a team able/willing to trade one.
He can't keep watching this forever. It is an inevitability at some point. I'll gain a lot more respect for him and have a lot more faith if he acts quickly. This isn't small sample stuff. It's a continuation of what these players already were, with both of them in declining ages.
