So I looked up the three "big" players of the Duchene trade: Turris, Duchene, and Girard.

Duchene caught up and passed Turris in Points, while Girard is doing decent enough in Colorado, based on stats anyway.

Girard has looked good.

Also, apparently, the Panthers are going after McD hard.

What would they give up? Obviously Ekblad's no go and I don't imagine NYR would want Yandle now that they're blowing it up...

I ask because I have to think NYR would want a defenceman back and I have no idea what Florida's prospect pool looks like.

If anybody wanted to read the nitty gritty details on the Brassard trade, since it was technically 4 different trades, here you go:
https://twitter.com/TSNBobMcKenzie/status/967411181634727937

1. Pittsburgh sent 3rd round pick to Vegas for Tobias Lindberg
2. Vegas sends Pittsburgh's 3rd round pick to Ottawa for Brassard
3. Vegas sends Brassard with 40% salary retained to Pittsburgh for Ryan Reaves and a 4th round pick
4. Pittsburgh sends 1st round pick, Filip Gustavsson, and Ian Cole to Ottawa for 3rd round pick and Vincent Dunn

Apparently the trade took so long to finalize because they had to work things out so that every transaction had pieces going both ways, instead of say Ottawa sending Brassard to Vegas for nothing because he's immediately going to Pittsburgh. I also like that this technically means Brassard was traded for a 3rd round pick, a 4th round pick, and Ryan Reaves, and the other stuff Ottawa got was actually just from a hilariously lopsided trade for a career minor leaguer.

The only non-Columbus hockey jersey I own is a Vegas home and I kind of want to make it a Derick Brassard jersey now.

Girard has been far better than a 19 year old should be. The fact we got a first rounder along with him has mostly been just a bonus.

If Snow was a real winner, he'd try to dump some salary and offer his two 1st along with Ho-Sang/Bellows for EK. Go all in on the pure offence, no defence strategy.

I don't think so. We excused him for a while because of "but Girardi..." but he's honestly not in the top tier of defensemen like what he's going to get paid on his next contract. And since he's not, he ought to be traded when he has his most value. I don't think he's a 7-8m/year defenseman.

He's had to drag around terrible defensemen playing very difficult minutes for years now. I agree with you that he is no longer a top flight $7m defenseman, but I still think he is very good. I wouldn't consider it an overpayment for a team which needed help on the blueline to give him $7m as long as it wasn't a length over 4 years, but more likely he's probably worth something like 6 years $38m in an open market. If someone like Boston got him and put him on the second pairing, he'd do extremely well against teams' second and third lines.

Seems like he put up 3rd line points with 2nd line minutes last year. I guess he would be cheap but I don't see how he would improve a good team and why bother if you are a bad team? I guess injury insurance.
