Like, somewhere in this, they have to hit something.

Now, we've talked about some guys...

your Romanis, right?

It was like, hey, can they be one of these hits?

We're not expecting like superstar level status, but somewhere along the way, it doesn't have to be a diminutive D-man is basically the point we're trying to make here.

It's just a talented franchise level D. Some huge impact player where you overshoot the projections of second, third rounder that becomes a regular top six contributor or first line style player for you.

Same way like Dallas hit on Jason Robertson.

Or is that trade yet to happen?

Because it was Max Pacioretty for Suzuki in his second.

Honestly, like,

Would Brock fit the bill?

Or is that just too on-the-nose for winger-winger?

Does it have to be a Nick Suzuki-level style player for it to matter, or can you scale it down and say, okay, you don't have the Pacioretty-style player, but if you can make a style of trade that nets a second line center?

to a T because the third part to me that really helped him out was a Sean Monahan trade and I just don't think that style of trade doesn't exist anymore yeah like that was a flat cap opportunity that hey they took advantage of yeah and it was right place right time to do it but with the cap escalation now

We'll see what the shifting dynamics are if teams are still exploring these.

And there are teams in cap crunches, yes.

But are they going to be that incentivized to try to trade huge pieces like first rounders off their roster?

Mm-hmm.

I will, yeah.

And yeah, that's the point then the texter's following up on.
