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.

I know Byram for Rossi could be viewed as sort of spinning the wheels, but Rossi on our team would be more valuable than Byram. I could think of worse trades (you listed them above).

No

Offer 5x8.35mil, may even give him 6x8.35mil

The Utah and Rangers deals just make so much sense, Kesserling would be a huge add as would Schneider could you make it a bigger deal to get Cuylle too I don’t know Could Utah deal be expanded to get Crouse or McBain i don’t know for Tampa it’s likely Cirelli as he has a no move right now, Cernak would be amazing but he has a no trade
