Palm Trees And Taxes

Give me Rossi, Dumba and a 2022 unprotected 1. Replace Boldy with another solid prospect and I am ok with this. Look to keep Dumba long term as a RHD.

Owen Power was the safe pick. Personally I think these Victor Hedman comparisons are borderline insane, Hedman's come along very rarely in our lifetimes. Power has a good chance to be a 'pretty good' NHL defenseman. 'Pretty Good' doesn't cut it for me at 1OV. IMO Eklund has a chance to be great. That was the pick for me and stand by it. I hope to be dead wrong on Power but we will see.

I worked with Brooks when I interned with the NJ Devils in 1996 and even then he was a bitter and salty SOB. Can't imagine much has changed. He wants Eichel for 60 cents on the dollar, like most Rangers fans.

If this is just Eklund, not much to see here

This is true, and this is still better then giving up a future pick and asking Seattle to take Okposo or Miller. Maybe there is hope for this new regime.

So just to recap, Borgen is NOT official yet?

Remember when Adams talked about not letting information leak out, this is a good stress test to back up what he said.

Cue the meltdowns in 3.............2...............1.................

No Subban, I stand to be corrected!

One less spot for Borgen?

They would. Subban great for the community, popular player and Seattle can get something from NJ in a side deal.

Seattle IMO swings a deal with NJ and gets PK Subban (9M AAV but only 2M in real $) makes sense for a lot of reasons.

If the Sabres get Turcotte and the 8th overall for Sam Reinhart, Ill do a rain dance here in Southern California and it WILL rain

Still think Adams omitting Eichel as part of the young core is a tell, but we shall see. Eichel will be traded by the 23rd IMO.

It was reported that Rask will play for no other team than Boston, even if that isn't true i pass on Rask.

Well it was Taco Tuesday yesterday.....

100 percent agree....and two pieces that will very likely be Top 6 forwards for years to come...AND the Sabres take Beniers #1OV...now THAT is a roster I can get behind. Get er done Adams!

I am getting more and more of a feeling that the Sabres, in order to get the return they are looking for in trading Jack Eichel, are going to trade him in conference. My gut tells me that team will be Philadelphia.

Thinking about more I think its more and more unlikely Anaheim gives up Zegras and probably stands pat, and takes Dylan Guenther 3OU and has their next Getzlaf/Perry pairing for the next decade plus.

Some Sabres fans may not want to hear this, but if Zegras and 3OV is the offer and the best offer for Eichel, I take it.

If you think one network lies more than the other, then they got you just where they want you.

A great listen and I could not agree with Scouch more on his take on Power and Beniers! Lets keep fingers crossed that Adams and Karmanos agree.

I can see this being the year that Dahlin arrives more on the offensive side. To project it: 10G 45A type season perhaps? Not sure if that is shooting too high for next year but we have to remember that Dahlin post Krueger and no Eichel was really showing some strides on that side of the ice.
