Ruff Around The Edges

Internet posters (mostly from the Northeast meaning Boston NY etc) who's ammo is to talk down a player in hope that their team sharks that player for 30 cents on the dollar, and those internet posters will be the first ones after the deal to pump out their chest and brag how they 'stole' that player.

Krebs, Tuch, #1 in 2022 and #1 in 2023 even if Sabres need to send back a 3rd ship this deal and lets move forward.

Wys is a lifelong Devils fan who is still bitter all these years about Hasek winning Venizas over Brodeur. I never listen to his commentary on our team for that reason alone.

Born and raised in the NYC Metro area so I am well versed on the tactics of the NY fan and these comments that Rangers fans make over and over again is the classic NY way: Talk down a player to drive down value and they boast how they stole that player from the other team later on. Been hearing it for decades LOL

Don't know about all of you, but I have absolutely had it with the likes of Larry Brooks in the NY Post, where you can just feel the bitterness and rage jumping out of his articles and tweets about Eichel. Also so many unreasonable Rangers fans and their constant 'oh we don't want Eichel' and their low-ball offers but yet they seem so infinitely interested in the doings of EIchel. Tired of the Ranger fans and their constant lies. We see right through your charade and the typical 'Ill talk down a player I really want in my secret hopes of sharking that player from that organization'. The act is annoying and tiresome. Go Away.

There is a zombie apocalypse?

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.

1PM EST tomorrow

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!
