@TSNBobMcKenzie: FLA trades T.J. Brennan to NSH for Bobby Butler.

gg

7th rounder for bobby butler

nb

Butler is great. Suprised nj got rid of him

Another team's trash is another team's treasure

probably wants too much money for Nashville

I mean he's not amazing but he's a pretty solid 3rd/4th liner

a panther d-man have to pass through waivers to get sent to AHL (where he belong for big minutes) > trade brennan for bobby butler to fill a role on the forwards > get something instead of waiving a good prospect

Since you're the panthers expert: what do you think will happen to Bjugstad and Goc if they decide to draft MacKinnon?
All of a sudden the panthers would have a lot of skilled centers. Do you think they would trade Goc? Would bjugstad be the odd man out if they don't?

bjugstad is destined to be the 2C with MacK-Bjugstas as top6

goc is one year left, he's a graet 3rd-4th line center but he's stuck playing top 6 for us... idk how it'll end up in the end, but goc will probably slot as #3 if he resigns, having depth of:

mackinnon
bjugstad
goc
shore

since goc is only signed one more year at 1.7 or something (lolthesteal), he'll remain. probably worth a 2nd rounder next trade deadline if we end up practicing tanking until its perfected for mcdavid

Bjugstad for Luongo if they get Mackinnon.

I can dream.
