Will Jim Nill ever make a depressive trade before the deadline? We have a logjam on offense and defense.
Heika: They need to move Patrik Nemeth. He is a good person in a bad situation, and they have plenty of depth in the minors. Moving Nemeth would help the mindset of Nemeth, Oleksiak and Johns, and I think it is necessary to help the mindset of these young defensemen right now.
That also would allow them to carry two extra forwards, and that could allow Lindy Ruff to tweak his lineup more strategically.
