I'll bet you 50 bucks Zach Benson produces above the 45pts in 82 mark next year. That's 0.55pts per game or higher.

You don't like the best defensive forward on the roster in the top 6?

What if we trade Peterka for Dobson? How's that feel to ppl?

That would involve Adams having both a plan, and the ability to think 2-3 steps ahead.

If you trade a 2nd and Krebs for Zegras, you can't trade a 2nd or Krebs for something else.

I don't particularly want Zegras.

I'd do 6yrs at that 8.4 million price tag, not 7. That said, I'll worry about it later.

All Seravalli does at this point is feed Allan Walsh talking points into the public sphere.

I'm gonna get warned or banned. I deserve it, but God did it feel good after all the condescending nonsense from you John. It. Felt. Good. See y'all in 48hrs unless something happens. I think I need to be an adult, wink wink Johnny, and unplug for a bit.

"Act like an adult"

And blocked 🚫 Continue your whining, boring, incessant trash talk of the franchise at your leisure. Also @JohnC kiss my ass.

First the constant Sabres bashing in your posts is as I've already noted, ***** annoying. It's in every thing you post regardless of the topic. Second, why would Dallas trade Robertson? Because they don't think they can sign him next year and believe they can trade him and still get better. Will they? Idk, sounds like probably not but they might think they can use that 7.75 million this year and 10 million every year after for players that will help them win playoff games. Colorado traded Rantanen, guess they are at the children's table. Calgary traded Tkachuk, children's table. Teams trade for players sometimes.

Everyone... meaning like 2 posters ever?

Are you not aware that Dallas was not in the Stanley Cup finals with Robertson? Maybe Dallas considers him replaceable. You're totally missing the point. You argued no good franchise would trade a useful player even though that's exactly what Edmonton did. It's not a comparison of who's a better player McLeod or Robertson, it's a discussion of why teams trade players.

For what it's worth, I've seen a few reports that Dallas is exploring re-signing Robertson.

I'm sorry, remind me again who Dallas traded for and just signed for long term? Was it a winger? Not worth the price? McLeod made pennies last year. Bingo

Why would Edmonton trade us their middle 6 center when they're a serious franchise that's competing for a cup?

I just need 9oa and Samuelsson for Dobson? Done. Sign me up. Like now.

You can if they're over 35yrs old

When Peterka plays defense like Reinhart and creates offense like Reinhart, then sure. And I mean 23yr old Reinhart Also it's only if we're getting a better player.

https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6436425/2025/06/20/2025-nhl-mock-draft-the-athletic-hockey-show/ They have us taking McQueen. Martin (5oa) is long gone by then for those wondering.

https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6391288/2025/06/20/nhl-draft-2025-scouts-mcqueen-ryabkin/ Notes: the defense rankings are all over the place McQueen is going to 15 I think. Did well in interviews. Ryabkin I'm not interested in. Talent yes, dedication no. Pass.

Even with that move the Dallas Stars have major cap issues. They need at least 4 more forwards and will have to spend at least 1 mill on a defender to give them 7. At minimum that's 12f, 7d, 2g. That's 21 players and realistically they need another forward and defender but let's do bare minimum. They have 4.9 million to sign 5 guys to simply ice a full roster. That doesn't even account for injury issues. They need another move if not 2 to clear space. If you can sell them jjp and he bridges for 2x5 or 3x6 which is the estimates, you can add another 1.75-2.75 in cap while also not downgrading (if they believe that) your roster as much. I wonder if they'd dump Nils Lundqvist who's arbitration eligible for Kyrou who is on an ELC? Could save them another million bucks.
