Mcmann has shown he’s not ready. Your third pairing is really bad. Lagesson and Benoit are not full time NHLers.

Ok Robertson instead of McMann?

Agreed the 3 pair isn’t wonderful but it’s a tight cap and the top 4 is bigger problem than the 3 pair.

I personally think Laggesson and Benoit have been fine depth d-man for your 6th d-man

But if you could get Lyubushkin for the bottom pair that would be better.

Shenn signed for 3 years, he’s not coming back here. Teams picking up 50% salary retained for 2 players will want a first for each of those deals alone.

McCabe is only 2 mil and is one of their best D man. Why would you trade him?

McCabe gets traded because Shenn is better and if cap comes in cap goes out.

Nashville a rebuilding team would trade Shenn for Liljegren any day. I would rather Shenn with Reilly for playoffs.

Agree probably need more picks or prospects in the trades
Abuzzes can go in the first trade as well as a 5 round pick and a 4 in the Nashville trade.

@Bob. How has McMann shown he is not ready for the NHL?
He has 4 pts in 8 games all at even strength even though his zone starts are 84% in the D-zone. I think he has more than proved he belongs.

RLF…, he’s also minus 2 and often looks lost and out of position.

Bob, So, he's a -2, so is Liljegren. And? Was he at fault for those goals?
Gregor is a -4 and Kampf a -5.
Hertl, Meier, Beniers all -17. Sergachev -15. Fowler, Johnson and Connor Murphy -14. Bedard and Nick Paul among many others a -13. Stamkos, McCann, Keller and Necas all -12. Are they not NHL players?

What do you mean he looks lost and out of position. He is always 3rd man high when two down low. He covers for D-men that pinch. He doesn't give the puck away. He is very aware of a tired group situation and when to and not to head to the bench. He makes sure he gains the redline to dump it in before changing. He's a very sound defensively positional player. Head is always on a swivel. About the only time I would say he looks lost at all is sometimes on the back check in regards to which guy to take. And the only reason that is noticed is because he was in the proper position to be part of the backcheck.

If anything, he deserves a bigger role.
