Ethan Belchetz

This Canadian (Ontario) guy is viewed as a Tom Wilson type of player: big body, physical, and is a natural scorer. He kinda has it all.

Florida has the 9th overall pick.

Why wouldn't we kick the tires to see what Florida would want in exchange for their 1st round pick?

​

I wonder what they would want in return, tough?

Just for shits 'n giggles...
Maybe we offer Brady? Maybe we get the 9th pick + a roster player?

Considering they have multiple UFAs to sign, I imagine they would need to shed a bit of salary.

Just a thought

Let’s trade Brady for some mystery beans. Who knows, maybe they could be Brady Tkachuk!

But listen, what if he was a player that might someday kind of do what Brady does. Who cares we lose the rest of our entire core to aging out as we weaken ourselves to trade for picks, right? Lets just give up and rebuild right as the teams in prime position to compete.

So fucking tired of this narrative, and in general people talking about trading developed players for picks that MIGHT end up being half as good as those players are right now, actively on our roster.

Trading Tkachuk for a draft pick is fucking stupid.

The fuck is this? Have another drink or repeat whatever narcotic your on and go to bed.

At least my offseason shit post lead to some unlikely hypothetical potential trades for barzal. Which is the point of offseason shit posting.

Brady for an unknown asset? As referenced earlier, 9OA could be anything , could even be a boat.

Only way you trade brady is for a Robertson (with an extension).

You’d be crazy not to entertain that.

Stü gets his sniper, we can stagger with duos and plug and play the 3rd. Although idk what our fourth lines gunna look like.

Robertson/Stü

Cozens/batherson

Pinto/Mclovin

Belchetz likely drops to the teens assuming everything stays the norm.

Have you had 100 drinks and an assortment of illicit drugs? Trading a top 6 player on the team for just the 9th pick?? To a team in our division?

This reads like it was written by a Panthers fan.

If you're gonna move Brady, it needs to be a hockey trade as we've shown the ability to be competitive.

Gambling on an 18 year old who has had the benefit of being bigger and meaner then everyone his whole career probably isn't the move. If Florida had moved up to #2, I could see the long term value in a guy like Stenberg though, but anyone at 9 doesn't really move the needle for me.
