Like there was ever any doubt....

I don't like this pressure...at all

Parayko plus possibly

Hang tight, looks like it's happening

Just the messenger but not sure why he would text me that

My buddy in St Louis who is tight with some of the Blues just texted me

About to be announced?

I still think Ottawa and Buffalo Duke it out for bottom 2

I don't think there is any chance of playoffs this year and hopefully the run to 8th takes place next year. They just need to make sure this team is remade by 2020. Tampa, Boston, and Toronto have the top 3 spots already wrapped up and only getting better.

If we get to January and this team does not have a better record, I don't think anyone will care what they do.

Yup, I do feel that within 2 years, there will be great balance on this team. 2019 we get our free agent goalie to start the playoff run. 2020, the Cup run takes place in the royal blue.

Either keep O'Reilly or get a shiitload for him after July 1. Either way, it's a win.

These World Cup players are the biggest pu$$ies on the planet

Good, I want him to stay on the Island so the Leafs have ZERO chance of getting him.

I would trade for #3 and set this team up for an unbelievable lineup of youth that could dominate for many years. Get that #3 pick in the lineup for next year and off we go. Clearly O'Reilly needs to go if there are issues....sounds like he is for sure gone and it better not include any 2nd rounders.

3 of those players on offense need to be off the team yesterday if they are to stand a chance.

I have to agree with this and as good as Eichel "can be" he is nothing like what I had expected (so far).....even knowing he was always 2nd fiddle to McDavid.

I'll take anything encouraging at this point...

Not that it probably means much but...someone I know pretty high up with Pegula Sports said there is no chance in hell Buffalo is considering Tavares

Seems like the Penguins have figured out some high priced guys and got some Cups out of it. The scrubs that were on this team last year will be gone. They were on 1 year deals to fill some empty spaces. The 2018 team will look nothing like last years team, I mean, NOTHING like it. The Hawks also seem to have a few high priced guys and I would take our top guns over them right now.

I think you are underestimating what Dahlin coming here means. Risto gets pushed to the 2nd pairing where he belongs, Tavares plays #1 Center, Eichel is #2, Mittle is #3 and you trade O'Reilly to Montreal for some other really good stuff (he becomes expendable). Add in Guhle, Reinhart and possibly a bounce-back year from Okposo? If Tavares did come here, it would not be long before Buffalo is not only in the playoffs (next year), but probably contending for Cup by 2019. The vision is pretty easy to see if you add him to the mix.

Parisi was up there at the time Nash?

Getting Tavares and trading O'Reilly makes total sense and I don't think it is crazy to think about one bit.

100% where I am

We don't need anyone, ever again...we have Dahlin
