What? I can’t hear you. You’re on moot.

McBaine to me is a 3rd liner and quite honestly don't want that. At least Maccelli can product points or at least prior to being benched and moved down the depth chart last year. PS I wasn't moving JJP in my scenario just Byram and 9OA.

Seems light for Zegras And thats more cap shipped out for Anaheim, they are gonna go big game hunting in free agency, you would have to expect

Well…the leagues tries to make money at the draft. Their execution leaves a little to be desired. It’s pretty hard to sell a product that no one will have real access to for 3-5 years. After the top 5 or so picks, these guys will become nameless, faceless into the abyss that is hockey minor leagues, juniors or college. But hey check out our new just hitting puberty draft pick that may be a star or may never play in the league you are here supporting. The NFL is drafting grown men you’ll almost certainly see on Sunday’s in a few months. The NHL is like BYU or Russia. You’ll see your guy in 5 years, if he survives.

Perfect, now Rossi to Buffalo

As the roster sits today I don't move Tuch, now if we happen to add two top 6 forwards as rumored than maybe but even then I think can get more for him at trade deadline than now assuming we're not contending for a playoff spot.

Macceli doesnt do it for for me, he is another undersized winger. If we are adding Byram or 9 its gotta be McBain coming back Id be willing to take Crouse back as he isnt quite the same player he once was for a lesser return. Maybe Peterka and Johnson or Rosen for Crouse and Kesserling

Of course it was! Iran can not have nuclear weapons, Trump did the right thing hitting them while they're weak.

Zegras to Philly

Moot. Sounds like he's headed to Philly.

I've mentioned Kesselring on my short list, there's also talk that the Mammoth want to move on from Matias Maccelli too. I wouldn't mind grabbing both for a prospect or 9OA and Byram. I'd also curious what Mercer cost from the Devils as to me he's a guy I wouldn't mind at 2C if elected to put Norris on the top line. JJP to me is a hard to lose guy as he's clearly a top end talent and unless we get a 50 game starting goalie for him or package him for a better Forward it makes little sense to move on from him.

It doesn't work with a draft, and considering the league makes money on the draft i'd think that would be counterproductive.

Zegres is one of those borderline guys that we could get and he possibly excel on our top line if felt wanted to move JJP to line 2 and move Benson to line 3 to balance lines more yet he's struggled with injury the last few years. With Norris already a question mark not sure if I'd take the chance.

If nothing else it adds another option in the marketplace for teams

Are there more than a small handful of AHL cities big enough to attract an owner that has the ability (and desire) to compete with NHL owners?

I think Rossi is a better player. Zegras does have a playmaking element that he doesn't and the Sabres also lack. Might help the PP. He's in the last year of $5.7M deal and will be an RFA at the end.

Zegras is a little “female dog”.

Well, in Buffalo it would be great as local fans could just head down the Thruway to Rochester and Syracuse to catch some road games. Of course home games vs. Toronto would be flooded with Marlie fans.

Yep, pay the man and move on, he is key for this team I want this team to win when Alex Tuch is on it

"Fasten your seat belts...it's gonna be a bumpy week"

I just dont know enough about Zegras Rossi I know is good defensivley and does play physical and with some bite From what little I know, I think Zegras has none of those qualities, excellent offensivley but thats about it

Friedman: According to multiple sources, the Anaheim Ducks are in “significant discussions” with multiple teams on a Trevor Zegras trade, and the likelihood is growing the talented 24-year-old forward could be traded this week. Do we think he'd come cheaper than Rossi? Do we like him any better? Sabres have been interested in the past

If it takes you a 7-8 year deal to get him for an 7-8 M per deal, you do it. The pay system is the pay system. If you don’t want to work within the framework that everyone else is working under, then get out of the business. The lesson to be learned is that third rate behavior leads to bush league results.
