Below both.

Levi was excellent for Canada in the WJC, but he is not an “A” prospect. Sam will get more than him and Florida’s 1st next year. 20 games of David Savard and Nick Foligno that.

I’m guessing. I can’t see a deal based around Tippett or Denisenko.

Lundell and goalie prospect Devon Levi. Sabres kicking something back is my guess.

Only if Zegras and Drysdale remain off the table.

Lolololololol

The Rangers know they can see the records as soon as they make a competitive offer. They let this slip so they have a ready-made excuse to their fanbase if they fail to get Eichel.

Rangers fans: (more likely) Lafreniere: Jagr (Iginla) Kakko: Brendan Shanahan (Nick Foligno) Chytil: Dylan Cozens (Krieder) Miller: Colton Parayko (McKee) Kravtsov: Kiril Kaprizov (Yakupov) Schneider: Shea Weber (Ristolainen) Lindqvist: Ryan Ellis (Jokiharju) Jones: Ryan Ellis again (Pilut) Georgiev: Varlamov (Talbot)

Right, but if they got Dach in a Jones trade, a Dach/5OA offer is competitive with the others we’ve heard. I’m still hoping for a Ducks deal, preferably one that leverages Zegras.

I suspect many current offers are built around picks in this year’s draft. Some (Rangers, Wild) can easily be shifted to a similar asset post-pick. Some (Ducks) cannot. If Adams played his cards right, he had acceptable offers on the table by last night and he is playing them off each other to maximize return. If he hasn’t got an acceptable offer yet, it’s unlikely he’s going to get a better one after the draft. Eichel is a front-burner move, not something you circle around to after Plan A falls through.

Adams wants to trade him today, of that I am sure. The question is has he played his hand well enough that a worthwhile deal is on the table?

Just Guhle would be an absolute home run. He offers everything Borgen does with legitimate upside. This would be incredible just to watch the “number sniffers” (outstanding @Weave) melt down. I’m not sure how a Risto return could be. I’ve been told for years it would be a win if we just give him away.

Sabres: Eklund Kraken: Power Ducks: Eidvinsson Devils: Hughes Jackets: Clarke Wings: Wallstadt Sharks: Guenther Sabres: Beniers Canucks (traded): Johnson Senators: McTavish

Five years ago we were talking about Boston On the downswing because their core was all pushing 30 and that’s when teams usually start to decline. What happened was not that a good organization found ways to pass the torch, but that the aging core stayed good. Marchand is 33, Bergeron 35, Krecji 35, Rask 37. And the guys they’ve augmented the roster with - Hall, Smith, Coyle, Reilly, Grelczcyk - are all pushing 30 as well. Theyve made a lot of mistakes in the draft, but that core - which they accumulated mostly through luck - continued to insulate them. They’ve got two good players whose best years aren’t behind them - Pastrnak and McAvoy. The fall is coming.

Both Matt Boldy and Marco Rossi would be a helluvalot better than what we’ve heard previously. Boldy doesn’t get talked up much, but he’s a damn good prospect.

The same Dominik Kahun the Sabres foolishly let get away last summer…? 🤐

I’m starting to think the Wild are the stalking horse bid the Sabres (and now Eichel’s camp) are using to drive up the bids.

Not me. I think I might Linus’ biggest booster on here. Well, after @MODO Hockey This is true. The reason I’m mildly excited is because of Tom Webster’s post. When he played we were a 90-point team. He’s backup because Hutton is crap?

26/20/6 with the Sabres. Are you saying that with a “real” starter the past two years we were a playoff team?

I hear you, and know I rate Linus much higher than most of the board. But to me he is a core player who is about to blossom into one of the league’s best and the thought of losing him is just a half-step below Reinhart on the suckitude scale.

While I strongly agree another goalie is a necessity, there was/is no better goalie on the market than Linus. There was a very good chance our goaltending was going to go backwards this summer.

Tom’s usually got a great handle on these things.

This is fantastic news!

They just signed him to an 8-year deal. I don’t think he’s available.

Canes targeting Ullmark?
