I wouldn't be happy as he isn't a center nor does he bring any skill set we don't already have. You need top 6 players certainly but they need to differ in specialty at very least. Hall and Skinner are far too similar in terms of streaky goal scorers only Hall is a better playmaker at least. Let's just pretend, Skinner-Eichel-Reinhart Olofsson-Cozens-Hall I see high scoring potential but simultaneously a youngster being thrown to the wolves again, and very little in terms of grit besides the youngster mentioned prior. Defensively again we'd be entirely depending on Eichel and a rookie with Reinhart and Olofsson as their primary winger defensively. We need a Cirelli(Selke) or a Tkachuk(Gritty Power Forward) type far more than another soft skilled guy no matter how great he could be. Even if it worked in the regular season we'd be massacred in the playoffs every time as our guys would just be out muscled.

Canadiens in I believe 93

I wonder if we should look into Gonchar?

It wouldn’t be approved in the planning phase by the NHL; so it would be a mute point.

Tried that before.... no thanks.

Well that would certainly put the fanbase in a tailspin. If they are that broke on liquid assets then they should sell the team to another Buffalo owner.

The big problem with using pick 8 is the loss of a major asset in acquiring a 2C which by far are most important need.

I’d disagree about Kane and Lehner. Kane had requested out and was at odds with the team’s management. So his value should of dropped some. Bogosian was a toss up who had dropped into healthy scratch with awful contract and a random goalie. We traded a former Calder trophy winning freak dman with warts but still very useful. A rental in Stafford worth a 2nd, a late 1st, the 31st pick from the year prior and a former 1st rounder in Armia. It was very one sided then and only worsened as time passed.

Yes he did but it doesn’t matter if you make $100 if you immediately use it to buy overpriced goods for $100. His biggest flaws was marrying himself to specific players versus a type of player, seemingly not understanding team chemistry, and completely destroying Rochester.

I’d say the more correct notion would be Murray overpaid in his attempt to hasten the rebuild. 2 2nds for Fasching Myers, Stafford, a 1st, Lemuiex and Armia for Kane, Bogosian, and Kasdorf A 3rd for Vesey’s rights A 1st for Lehner and Legwand (capdump that turned out good)

Cut out the actual info to conserve space lol. I doubt that Calgary would accept that trade seeing as over on capfriendly they seem to think those two are worth Eichel somehow. The lightest I could see is Monahan, Gaudreau and CGY's 1st for Reinhart, Montour, Mitts, and BUF's 1st and our 2021 2nd Effectively CGY moves up at least 9 spots in the draft in that situation.

No, maybe after 3 OTs I could accept it but the NHL playoffs are the best of all sports and part of that is the OT format.

I more fear anything with Calgary since I value Cozens far more than slightly longer rental in Gaudreau and the offensive slanted Monahan

My first hypothetical trade was Gaudreau/Lindholm, Monahan, and Bennett for Reinhart, Mitts, Thompson, Montour and our 2020 and 2021 2nds. The biggest problem I see is that 2 of our scoring wingers (with Gaudreau) are midgets. Skinner - Eichel - Lindholm/Olofsson Gaudreau/Olofsson - Monahan - Kahun Bennett - Cozens - Johansson Clifford - Lazar - Okposo Dahlin - Miller McCabe - Jokiharju Merrill - Ristolainen Ullmark Hutton Extras: Borgen McKegg Asplund Reeves signed an extension with Vegas

Can the Rock skate?

Not worth Cozens in my opinion, Monahan is offensively gifted but isn't all that good defensively.

No thank you, I'd do it with Mitts vs Cozens perhaps but I'd want Bennett too.

That would lean to Monahan & Calgary. Seeing as Tampa couldn't afford to sign Reinhart. To be honest I still much rather have Cirelli as I'm not all that high on Monahan and Johnny Hockey

hmm, but why would we trade Reinhart?

I love them, not the showcase music but I certainly love the jerseys. Eichel and Dahlin look great in those colors, I think Cirelli would too ?

Barring a trade for Cirelli, the only prospect that interests me at 8 is Rossi.

He also liked my tweet to him saying he should design a 3rd jersey using the old 99 style jersey.

I’d rather have Barkov if they start blowing stuff up.

I like Domi, just not enough to trade Reinhart to get him

That would be bad for Buffalo as we really wouldn't be acquiring a center but rather 2 wingers who have previously played center some.
