Actually it doesn't.

Speaking of the Rhinos, just announced they're taking a one year hiatus. Won't play this season.

A source says "it can be seen two different ways". I suspect it was something that would probably be seen as offensive to the outside observer but not within the locker room? Which is probably why no one who saw it wants to say anything.

My money is on Eichel doing a racially insensitive imitation someone else on the team...

Que?

Fact.

I agree.

I would consider a trade for one of Vegas' many depth goalies to slot on the Amerks if Ullmark becomes a Sabre due to a Lehner trade for example.

It's all because of Darcy. Drafting badly for a decade ruined everything because no one had to earn their way on to this team. There's no internal competition in the org.

YOLO

I think the thing is, if you can get wingers for Jack, they have to be the kind of guys who will demand more from him. I don't think Kane is making any demands of Jack. I don't think Sam is either. Is anyone on this team really in a position to do that?

This could still happen. Yes.

I said the same somewhere else. I think it's the case. Sam and Kane would be the guys I move out.

Ullmark isn't up because anyone is getting traded. Lehner had a maintenance day.

@WGR550 Another switch up in the lines: Kane-Eichel-Reinhart Nolan-O'Reilly-Okposo Pouliot-Criscuolo-Pominville Girgensons-Larsson-Moulson #Sabres What even are lines anyway?

That would be fun too.

:lol:

I think, if you take a quick look at the West, the ideal landing spot for Kane is San Jose. They're shallow at LW, they're having goal scoring problems because Jumbo Joe is so slow now. They could use his speed to get them on par with the rest of the West in team GF.

I don't know. I could see the Ducks still wanting a winger. Henrique and Blandisi don't automatically solve their injury problems. We probably wouldn't be getting NHL players back, but prospects could happen. Their AHL roster isn't looking too hot right now though, so I don't know if Anaheim is my trade partner.

Yup.

I can't see Botterill dragging Ullmark away from the Amerks though. It doesn't fit his supposed method. I could still see Anaheim taking Kane. You can never have too much scoring. We'd only be getting prospects back, but that's okay.

I don't think Botts is going to be looking for picks. It's prospects or vets with a few years left on their contracts who aren't dumpster fires like Matty Mo.

We'd bandied it about before here and I think I was right when I said they weren't looking for a winger. They want and NHL ready center who can play west coast hockey and Henrique fits that bill. Even if we were in the convo, NJ beats us with the more appealing player. Blandisi isn't a bad prospect either.

+1

I think that's a nice trade for both teams. Ducks get a center with Getzlaf out indefinitely and NJ gets better on defense.
