***** the Leafs, get it back Florida

Series tied 1-1

I have zero interest in an offer sheet; I'll make trades but I'm not willing to trade/transfer our 2026 1st

It’s a rather odd issue when it comes to JJ. His contract ask is unknown and couple that with his genuine value varying it makes him a hard player to pinpoint. Like I wouldn’t give him 8x8mil because he doesn’t give a consistent enough performance all 82 games and is a mostly 1 dimensional player. However I wouldn’t trade him for the sake of trading him.

I don’t think we have the cap space to be perfectly honest and I’d keep Tuch at 7.5mil over Marner at 13mil. That isn’t to say Marner isn’t a great player during the regular season and wouldnt be an upgrade on most players. But his contract demands would require us to gut our roster yet again just to fit him inside the cap.

Lance said he was there

Seems to be a trend, Amerks are one of the best in the AHL but get effectively Dead Puck Era'd upon reaching the Semis/Conference Finals. The amount Laval got away with while we got tagged for them is annoying but typical. Didn't help our team has been benched for almost 2 full weeks

***** Laval

I'm a huge anti-trade Power person but I would make this deal if we can get Dobson locked up reasonably. Like not 10 mil or something

Feels like overkill in the response of the NHL if that's all was said. Stupid, but not nowhere near a racist tirade or something of the like. Suspend him but give a time table. Otherwise it comes across as a threat to his name on the Stanley Cup which would honestly be a grave injustice to remove based on precedent. That being said, owners shouldn't have official Twitter accounts; its just asking for trouble.

My fear would be he'd want himself as that GM and I want nothing to do with 0 info and anti-beard mn

Then we have 3 Dmen making over 7.5mil and only 1 of them being independent. Byram needs Dahlin to be effective, Power likely is in the same boat Neither can step it up, apparently, when Dahlin is hurt and even just hold the line briefly nor does Power & Byram work as a pair very well.

He may of just cost them the series, FLA will be looking for blood

I was disagreeing that I don't care about the players we trade having success but not about making trades for immediate success. As such my worries won't alleviate until we are good again which is what I said prior but I guess it was misinterpreted.

Well what exactly are you proposing because I'm sure as hell not doing another rebuild or trading our top players for grinders

Until we are relevant in the league again; I'd rather not have to hear about more incredible success stories of players leaving Buffalo and their careers exploding. That's all. Unless the player asks out, then I only wish ill will against him.

The hope with Byram would be some team gets stupid and offersheets him with a 1st round pick level of compensation. Most of the teams that could do that are middling to fellow basement dwellers meaning we’d have another mid to early 1st potentially. Even better you could then use a conditional 2026 1st (the lower of the two) to get someone this off-season.

Insider info: Jokiharju is expecting to sign with Boston according to the guy who literally moved him to Boston last week. The mover plays on my one softball team

Whats his analytics then

Schneider isn't good and I have no desire to help an Eastern team get better

Pretty much, joined the agent who cares only about the money

actually makes sense for the lesser seed; you win the 1st 2 and you put the higher seed in a must win for 3 consecutive games at most. You only need to win 1 rd game

Peterka sure, im keeping Power so Byram can be dealt, Quinn is too high, McLeod make it 4x4.5 at max

Happy Lou said no disappointed Holland said no mixed on Brian Burke offering to come here.

Jakob lol, Jeff was his Dad
