There is NFW that either Risto or Girgensons gets moved for ROR. some combination of Zadorov, Foligno, Grigorenko and possibly picks and or prospects will do it. The market for ROR will not be that big due to his high salary demands.

ROR controls everything. There are very few teams that will ante up for 7 years 49 million dollar extension in a location he prefers. This will greatly limit the return Colorado can get. I think he can be traded for after the draft with an agreed upon extension for a reasonable deal.

I don't see how we trade for ROR unless he is signed long term. This would have to happen after the draft. There is no way I trade our 2016 #1 for ROR. It would most likely involve Grigorenko,or Ennis and Bogosian to Colarodo for ROR

Mr moderator nfreeman, Apparently you think that an injured player who only scored 10 goals and 22 points this year and was a disruptive influence in the locker room is worth far more than the proposed offer. I beg to differ. Winnipeg needs to make the playoffs this year and they desperately need forwards. They also have tremendous difficulty attracting free agents. Even though Stafford and Stewart are rentals they would be very helpful for the playoff run. In addition this increases the likelyhood of them resigning with the Jets. Hodgson has not had a good year, but his previous year scoring was quite comparable to Kane and he is signed long term. Foligno brings size and toughness and is also under contract. 2 second round picks with the sabres being the first pick of the second round is nothing to sneeze at. I am willing to bet a steak dinner at Peter Lugers that the ultimate package that Kane gets traded for is substantially less than what I proposed. What say you?

Moulson has a ntc so there is no way he gets moved. I think 2 second round picks 2015. And Hodgson foligno stewart and stafford gets it done with us retaining salary and taking a cap dump back

As a fellow Atlanta resident and Thrashers fan, I couldn't agree more. Good ownership is essential to success. Had Arthur Blank owned the thrashers, they would still be in atlanta.

I'm glad GMTM is asking for the moon, because I don't want to trade Myers and I don't think he does either. He has enough to deal with trying to move the previous ly referenced players.

Sabres aren't trading Myers. We are not getting McEichel. I know I am bursting your balloon. This thread should be restricted to discussions that have a realistic chance of happening.. The following players have a decent chance of being moved. Stewart Stafford Enroth or Neuwirth Benoit Mezzaros Hodgson Foligno

I think you are overrating Eberle's value. He has a large contract that is undesirable. He is a soft one way winger with poor defensive skills. I don't know that Murray really wants him. I think Pysyck, Enroth and a #1 pick (st Louis) gets it done. Pysyck is a hometown boy there and I think Edmonton would do the deal.

Hodgson is the same player as Gagner. Edmonton finally got rid of him. Why would they want Hodgson ?

Ville Leno did well moving to center :wallbash:

If the sabres don't get McEichel, I don't know how they are going to get top line players. Currently the only player on the roster that is potential top line is Reinhart and he is completely unproven.

And most of all Chris Stewart who will get 25 goals if healthy

I think Stewart is going to have a big year. He will surprise a lot of people. Nolan is high on him and he plays with a decent center he could get some points. He is also in a contract year.

Lets temper our enthusiasm for nfreeman. I've heard from reputable sources that this guy is the "Ville Leino" of message board moderators. He is just in it for the money. I hear he is a fair weather fan and is already looking at other moderating positions on the L.A. Kings message board.

yea the trade with Edmonton was preposterous since the oilers need defense and we had already traded away 2 defensemen Wishfull thinking

Evander Kane is coming to Buffalo for Tyler Myers. Erhoff and Gigorenko go to the Avalanche for ROR. Stewart and Foligno and 3 second round picks to Edmonton for #3 overall. OK now the fantasy has ended and back to reality, Nothing happens. Sabres draft Bennett and he doesn't play for us this year.

I would say at least one year and possibly 2 years before he is NHL ready. He simply does not have an NHL body yet.

I don't know if Israelis would pay much for a deserter.

St. Louis has been a huge upgrade over Callahan . Elite talent is key and perhaps Callahan is overrated due to his high effort leadership skills

Hoppertunity was just scratched. Mike Smith has no one to ride.

The fact that Dallas is going to the playoffs is just another indictment of Darcy's incompetence. I think the real message is that Dallas is going to the playoffs because they made a bold move to trade for Seguin and draft Nichushkin. These are both moves that Darcy should have done and didn't. The fact that Lindy is a great coach is obvious and I am happy he is going to the playoffs.

Aaron Murray has potential to be a Drew Brees or a Colt Mccoy. He will get picked in the 3rd or fourth round. The girlfriend is hot.

Yacupov is this years Burmistrov. We could have had Burmis last year but Darcy wouldn't pull the trigger so he went to the KHL. I would not give up Pyscyk but Miller, Myers, Grigorenko even Ennis are doable. Edmonton has to be worried that he could bolt for KHL.

No way do I move Pysyk. Miller and Myers for Yacupov and I would take back a cap dump and pay half of Millers salary. I would even throw in a 3rd round pick. Myers is a mediocre player and I.m hoping we can find any GM to take him off our hands.
