I'm sorry, but SS is ready to trade JJ now?

Those 3 instantly change the culture of this team. All tough players who hit.

I think of the bold and why each guy left and the root cause of every move was Terry. If he doesn't let a competent person run his team soon it won't be long before Dahlin and Tage will be next. Just by saying ...

Funny you say that. I’m pretty convinced its all related to fantasy sports. Go touch grass probably applies.

Do Ottawa have anyone worth offer sheeting. Cos that would be hilarious… trade for our second rounder back then immediately throw an offer sheet at them haha.

I had a group of friends that played that and pinochle. It was fun and it was a long, long, time ago.

So if Edmonton does go all the way this year and wins it, Jeff Skinner will in fact continue the legacy of leaving the Sabres and winning the cup even though (barring injuries) he will have only played in one playoff game in his entire career and I believe only for a few minutes. Wouldn't that be something.

St. Louis had to reacquire their 2nd last year for exactly that purpose. Adams could trade a 2027 BUF 2nd to regain the 2026 BUF 2nd from Ottawa.

Cuylle Schneider and a bad contract (Kreider?) for Peterka and pick/prospect?

Maybe take on Kreider’s contract as part of a multi-player deal? Cuylle, Kreider, Borgen for JJ and?

It doesn't. They still need to move pieces. But then at least they're getting a ready-to-go player in return instead of futures. Edit: Drury has painted himself into a bit of a corner with some of his contracts. If the cap were staying flatter these next couple seasons instead of skyrocketing, he'd be looking to trade a 1st to get Panarin off the books. Edit of the Edit: they'd probably rather move Zibanejad than Panarin, obviously. It's just the term. The Breadman is on an expiring contract. Zibanejad is.... forever.

But how does that save the Rangers capspace?

I too was thinking if they were that high on JJ a sign and trade would be something to work on.

Rangers have about $56M invested in their top 6 players (Shesterkin, Panarin, Fox, Zibanejad, Miller and Lafreniere). They’re not built for giving big raises. In comparison, Sabres top 6 cost about $44M.

Musk re-wrote his own AI and basically broke it. Megalomaniac.

Even with the rising cap, the Rangers only have $10M in total cap space at the moment for next season. (They need to add 5 players to the roster for next season and have 7 RFAs this summer; they're an excellent target.) If the Rangers were to lock up K'Andre Miller on a long-term extension before the draft, you might be able to nab Cuylle for a 2nd (offer something like $4.5M/year). But I think the Rangers will make some moves to clear space so that they can get Cuylle on the LT deal instead, while bridging Miller because he's not an offensive force. If you really want him, though, a 1st+3rd and $7M/year should get it done (they'd need to move Panarin + others). Or, if you really, really want him, you could offer JJP if both players agree to a sign-and-trade.

Puckpedia has the Rangers having $2.8M available to re-sign him and K’Andre Miller. Something’s gotta break there. Perfect fit for the Sabres, IMO: middle-six, young physical wing. He’ll be in demand and the Rangers will be doing their damnedest to move some cap to keep him. EDIT: actually $8.4M next year, I was looking at this year.

Martin is the best hitter in the draft. He's ruthless and good at it.

A better way to look at it is that Calgary traded Sam Bennett to Florida for a 2022 FLA 2nd and Emil Heineman (2020 FLA 2nd). This was in April of 2021, when Eichel was injured and they needed a center to support TNT/Mitts/Cozens, and Adams was already planning to move on from Reinhart, etc. Bennett was an RFA that summer with no trade protections.
