Another side step move that adresses non of our issues - clears cap space but we dont need space - trade a winger since we have too many... for another winger - trade a goal scorer ... on a team who finished 29th in scoring last year for a guy with less goal than deslauriers - trade away an actual decently sized player for an undersized one

I agree with most of what's being said here ,Galchenyuk would certainly not have gotten a top center in return. The problem I have is over the last 2 years we have traded PK ,Sergachev and him ,you would think that in all that dealing we should have got a top C in return ,as Vegata said ,it seems were always moving sideways now instead of forward. I am 99.9 % convinced Patches will be traded too ,maybe there with a package of 2nd round picks is where we get the Top C but who knows.

I'm sure they're hoping, but they are probably looking at ROR or Stastny in terms of a more realistic plan B. Also, I really think/fear they go hard after Johnson.

This trade feels a little like Eberle for Strome. My guess is they think they have a shot at Tavares and needed the extra cap space to go after him.
