I'm trading Erod for a 4th and Bogo for Simmonds if at all possible. Then I'd sign Pommers to a league minimum contract with the understanding he may not be in the lineup much once Skinner and Olafsson return At this point I'm just looking for any kind of spark to keep this team alive through those injuries.

I just hope he doesn't lose what he's been building all year. Why can't we have nice things?

Curse of his visits to Buffalo

I wish the guy luck, not enough to beat us in anything, but for his life in general.

I want a player who exclusively scores that way

How are McDavid's stats against Colorado? I'm curious if McDavid has a general problem against the only two other 1Cs who could actually keep pace with him. It would certainly make sense.

Eichel and McDavid are both incredible players and we won so I'm happy. Hope Olafsson is ok McDavid is the more consistent better player but I'd be lying if I said Eichel has never, for a game or two, surpassed him. McDavid is a true generational talent. Eichel is probably borderline generational seeing as he has the ability to literally carry our team to some amount of relevance.

Won a cup with Chicago in 2013

Trade Erod for Jankowski and Bogo for Simmonds?

Specifically what kind of cheeses?

How's this? Zajac, Travis ($2,850,000 retained) Simmonds, Wayne ($1,000,000 retained) Wood, Miles for Bogosian, Zach Rodrigues, Evan 2020 4th round pick (BUF)

I'm speechless; hopefully our next decade is filled with fun because this one sucked.

Two reasons: It's Toronto and dealing within division is always a risky venture; nor would I trade in division since I'd rather us have too many D and them have too few than help them become a more complete team. Dubas is an analytics junkie and is likely no interested in many of our willing to trade Dmen

I'd guess Botts conceived the idea, Pegula effectively hand cuffed his ability to deal him, Botts trades ROR in order to not look out-of-touch to ownership while doing exactly that to the fans.

Hmm, I imagine this scenario: January 2018 Botts to Pegula: I'm thinking about trading ROR to bolster our team depth elsewhere. Pegula: Why? Botts: I believe he may be the case of the rift in the locker room Pegula: Alright June 2018 Pegula: I thought you were trading ROR? I'm not all that happy with his post-season comments. Not to mention his drunken escapades after I gave him a contract.... Botts: I'm trying; big trades are difficult in-season due to the salary cap Pegula: Well, get it done before his bonus is needing to be paid Botts: Why? Pegula: I'm done paying that guy a dime to play elsewhere after trashing our franchise. Botts: Ok, I guess. I do have a couple trades in the works with Montreal and Carolina so ideally he'll be gone at the draft. June 30th 2018 Botts: Carolina wants the bonus paid Terry Pegula: Then send him somewhere else, I'm not paying him to play in Carolina Botts: I'll try but I'm only getting weak offers Pegula: I have faith in you July 1st 2018 Botts: Well this really sucks, I have only three options St. Louis, Montreal, or keep him. Montreal's offer is less than I wanted and is in the division, St. Louis is in the West and is offering a 1st but I have to pick up salary to make it work, or I can keep him but Mr. Pegula will be rather curious as to why I said he was a locker room cancer and then chose to hold onto him. Carolina is still offering me Lindholm and Skinner but they need the bonus paid. Well, I guess I'll bite the bullet and take St. Louis's offer since its the least likely to hurt us directly and they are offering the most NHL-caliber players and a 1st. Berglund is a 3C, Sobotka a 4C whom both have playoff experience; Berglund could shelter Mitts to start the year. Tage Thompson is a big shooter and we have no one like that so that seems ideal and you can't go wrong with a 1st and a later 2nd.

What’s up with Trochek and why are some Florida fans wanting to trade him?

Hmm, the irony of a beer conversation taking place on a 20 year old’s thread. scratch that, he turned 21 near Thanksgiving this year

Matthews shouldn’t even be an MVP candidate seeing as he’s got far more support around him and isn’t blowing his teammates out of the water. 1. Hasek - did the most with the least 2. Roy - incredible player and par with Hasek 3. Brodeur - great goalie with longevity but was, to at least some level, aided by his team’s system

Ugh, can't stand the Leafs. I wish they'd go get spayed and neutered like the Prices Right always talks about. It seemed like the LOG line and Eichel showed up at 7:00. Reinhart seemed unable to play any offense most of the game yet made two great backchecks. Dahlin is looking good. I get the sense Dahlin sent it to MoJo for a quick back and forth before he tried to get it to Eichel but MoJo overthought it and flubbed it.

No, unless its for a Bogosian level player. I never want to help my divisional rival, especially them, in any way regardless if it even helps us more.

We are playoff bound everyone!

Another solid win, they are playing again like they did in October. A team game where our LOG line sets a tone and our top players play like top players. Eichel has truly embraced his captaincy it seems; we saw it some last year but it ebbed away as the season fell apart. This year he's kept it together through the highs and the lows with a consistent desire to help his team win. Please Botts, send young Mitts to Rochester and let him regain his confidence.

I agree with Pi for once; its very odd that he'd request a trade after all we've done for him.

Well say hello to Galchenyuk I guess

Our #1 should be locked in a safe. mitts I’m a bit more torn on.
