***** 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

Only the Hurricanes; in order to prevent Canada from getting another W this year. Of the Canadian teams however Jets, Oilers................. Armageddon ............. the Rapture............... Leafs

Toronto only deserves disappointment, they deserve inexplicable injuries and choke jobs and nothing else.

Appert is from Seravelli’s report Karmanos is referred in the article as well but came from Lance I believe. I have seen nothing about Ventura however thankfully

Well they are unlikely to stay here in that case and that isn’t a future I hope or intend to live through

I’d have no issue with hiring Eric Staal if not for Adams still being the ***** GM. I want a Front Office with all sorts of experiences and connections to which Eric Staal certainly has. But potentially losing our only seemingly competent guy in Karmanos at season’s end makes me sick.

Strikes me as Adams is pulling out all the stops to save himself; an apparent multi-day presentation and the willingness to work with someone who has previously held his position.

Barring Adams getting Botts fired, you can’t exactly blame him for Eichel wanting out. Unless you wanted to keep Botts at the helm there were going to be changes regardless of who we hired. Reinhart was a casualty of COVID, I doubt we give him a 1 year bridge had the season ended normally. Mitts for Byram was a good trade in hindsight but more of a head scratcher as a whole. Byram is a good player but doesn’t add anything new to the mix. Malenstyn trade in the OP is wrong, we traded a 2nd (pick 43) for him. I wouldn’t have offered that. At best I’d of offered a 4th. Cozens is too early to say; still don’t like the return personally but I wasn’t against trading him by the time they did. Hall was actually a solid trade in the circumstances but his signing was a dumb attempt to either help Krueger or make Eichel happy after not trading for him the previous year. Staal is a hard one; the idea behind the trade was solid; a vet C/W for a less celebrated one. It failed in hindsight but wasn’t abjectly bad at n the immediate. If I could go back in time I’d of kept ROR, made Eichel respect his elders so he wouldn’t become toxic and signed Reinhart when Botts had the opportunity. Additionally I bring back Pommers for the COVID season with Vanek to play the 3rd line with Mitts. Traded Risto + 4th for Ehlers and played harder ball with Skinner’s contract. If all goes well, 2019-2020 has Skinner - RoR - ??? Ehlers - Eichel - Reinhart Vanek - Mitts - Pominville ??? - ??? - ??? Dahlin - Montour Scandella - Jokiharju ??? - Miller That could very well make the playoffs.
