  1. 'Wet dreams are made of these, Taylor Hall and Eberleeeee' They'll cost you prospects and draft picks, and everyone may be looking for one Some of them have 1st rounders Some of them have many 2nds too Some of them have young Dmen Like Vatanen and Lindholm too Ooh ooooohhoohhooh
  2. Yak's definitely not the type of player I'd take a shot with, he's been the stereotypical lazy Russian thus far in his career. He's extremely inconsistent, and thus doesn't have the points to justify dealing with his shortfalls. What's with trading Girgs all the time now?
  3. Just to add look at Eichel and Reinhart's decrease in effectiveness since ROR's been out and you see exactly why Edmonton is still suffering. Never have their rookies had any protection whatsoever. I almost wonder if this continues in Edmonton a few more years if they'll ruin McDavid. Eichel can enjoy this experience for he knows in around 10 games he won't have to be the guy but rather just a guy again. He can take on pressure as he grows vs having to grow while pressured. Edmonton is what you never want to do in rebuilding a team, they effectively have thrown 1st overall after 1st overall to the wolves with little help outside a few random scrubs and their predecessors. The only legit vet they have had, that I can think of off the top of my head is Ryan Smyth. And since he wasn't similar to any of their pick's style he likely had trouble connecting to some extent. Think about our team, Eichel can go to a 48 goal scorer and Cup Winner in Gionta, a fellow American 2nd overall in Legwand, other hard workers like ROR, he's living with Moulson who while hasn't been good on the ice has at very least made Eichel's off ice life simpler in transition. Same goes with Reinhart for the most part who has certainly found a mentor in ROR specifically. Like a fragile package, they need packing peanuts or air bag thingies to ship safely, we packed our boxes with peanuts, Edmonton merely threw it in a box and hoped it would get to the destination in one piece.
  4. I have to say its a nice little deal, helps Amerks, changes the guard in Rochester and brings a native home who has some NHL potential
  5. P.A. Parenteu may have been injured tonight, hasn't come back out for 2nd and is supposedly being looked at by the medical staff.
  6. McGinn and 5th for a 2nd
  7. This trip likely screwed us in terms of trades.
  8. I wouldn't trade Bogo for Drouin. Rather keep our 1 defensive defenseman over high end lottery ticket
  9. Bogo seems to thrive as the season grows closer to the playoffs, last year he was similar in how he escalated his game. Just this time he's adding scoring. Eichel looked better than last game but still is having some difficulty with the other high-end centers of the league. Which is to be expected seeing as he's 19. Outside of about 3 lapses, we dominated our zone and kept the Sharks on the perimeter. I think the refs swallowed their whistles seeing as both teams got away with murder. +1 to the entire D corp tonight, they all looked rather good tonight. Risto was physical and played pretty solid after the goal, McCabe probably had his best game of the year, and Bogo has been playing on a different level since about Valentine's Day
  10. Shave an inch off the insides of the goal and shrink some of the padding and glove side along with make goalies not wear puffy jerseys. That should fix it at least a bit.
  11. Love that about Buffalo, players can be players but also regular people. Not like Florida where they've no idea what hockey is yet not stalkeresc like Toronto
  12. I would not be surprised at all now if Dallas/Nashville/St.L trade a 1st for McGinn now. P.A Parenteu and Dale Weise could possibly fetch the same now as well. Thanks Chicago, you opened the flood gates.
  13. Why can't we see the copy nfreeman? Also murder is illegal in all 50 states you know.
  14. Hate Yakopov, no thanks. The second I'd do. Chicago has no 2nd rounder from last year, Timonen trade I think, only a 1st and 3rd so we'd likely need to add a 3rd to get their 1st.
  15. Bounces were all for the Ducks tonight, boring game, practically lulled me to sleep.
  16. Lindholm bailed on the check thus hurting his knee, Kessler then tried to knee Risto and instead tripped him.
  17. Vatenen for Drouin as the principle would be my best guess in an ANA-TB trade.
  18. I Wookiee Approve this Message..... all advertising is paid by the WTC. (Wookiee Trades Committee)
  19. No bigger nets, no interest in changing their size.
  20. Rangers tend to trade away their 1sts and I could see them over paying for Staal with hopes of him stimulating better play out of his brother as well.
  21. As in good good, or I need to adjust my value. How I saw it was McGinn(50%) + BUF's 3rd = BOS's lower of 2 1sts and Franson(50%) = 2 2nds down the line thus I just took a bit of leeway and just said this years EDM's 2nd which BOS holds.
  22. Called it sort of
  23. I wouldn't mind Skinner if we can get him for cheap. a) McGinn, Franson(50%), and our 3rd to Boston for their lower 1st and EDM's 2nd b) Ladd to Chicago for a 1st + a mid to high prospect E.Stall to NYR for a 2nd and a 2017 1st Drouin to StL for Rattie, a 2016 2nd & a 2017 2nd
