Would love to see the leafs extend a 30+ Helleybuck for 8 years -$9 mill contract. You don’t know that. TNT, Mitts and Dahlin still have room to grow

Sure if you are a cup contender. No way a team like Winnipeg lets a guy heading into UFA walk for nothing

Eventually they will have to. Won’t let him walk away and getting nothing in return we will see who blinks first

Maybe Anaheim eats some of the contract ? And the Sabres flip Gibson in a couple of years?

He knows how important it is to have a vet goalie to sit next to Levi in the locker room i fully expect a trade to be made. Think they will have a real close look at Gibson I also think they will bring in Hanifan The fit is too good He has history with Granato, correct ?

And pray Helleybuck doesn’t get injured Joker would be a good fit for the jets . UPL still could turn out to be a very good goalie and a high draft pick…giving up Rosen or Östlund seems like a massive overpayment but one the Sabres can afford

Trying to figure out the Preds will Saros be available ? Rumour that they would have traded Askarov at the draft (mtl fans are furious their GM didn’t accept the trade) if they are willing to trade Askarov are they thinking of a quick, on the fly rebuild, and extending Saros? if so , is Askarov a guy you could pair with Levi for the next 7-10 years?

I would think so. Heck, for a rental with no competition (though not convinced NJD won’t be ) maybe you are talking a 2024 first and a B level prospect or 2? Or 2024 first , Joker and B level forward prospect ? Bryson to the moon sounds better Me too. Let him go to UFA and see what he can get 1 and done when it comes to Helleybuck.

You are right about the kings there is an article in athletic saying they will have to operate under the 23 man roster due to salary cap and that they will be running with the Copley / Talbot tandem

They could still screw over Boston with an offer sheet. Hopefully Adams isn’t afraid of pissing off some of his GM bredren

Think it’s a good trade for 1 year who’s the competition? Devils and Kings?

Still hope they add 1 more would like to see Graves but seems highly unlikely now

Nice. Hope they still add 1 more likes the throw the big hits !

Someone needs to build a sports only app to replace Twitter So we can actually find non Sabres related news!

Don’t tell Toronto that , they way he played for them Or Vancouver. How he played alongside Quinn

Buffalo? Would be a good stay at home Dman to pair with Power

I don’t think you understand Poltapov’s game. You can’t look at stats alone when analyzing his game. The kid is someone you want on your side, especially come playoff time. Look at Michkov as an example. Barely got ice time and did very little when he was with a top team. Goes to Sochi and gets ice time and everyone remembers how good he is Poltopov would be a 1 man wrecking crew in he was in CHL instead of KHL

What does a Matt Duchene contract look like ?

2 of them now

Is 5’10 really that short ? I’ll guess that most every team has 2 or 3 forwards at that size or less wasnt that long ago a 5’7 fell to Montreal at around 13 as well. Think they are pretty happy with Caufield.

I think it might. Unless the deal knocks their socks off. I like this though

Wonder if this opens the door ever so slightly for. Short term Kane deal ?

Hockey News HAs size, skill, and skating but inconsistent

From hockey news He has great pro traits, size, skill, and edginess. Now it’s a matter of putting it all together.

Got your man!
