And he is more of a defense first defenseman. Ventura and Karmanos would have great assessments of him Numbers were down last season

Blackwood staying in San Jose

I do as well. The Panthers probably would never move him, but after reading the article you posted about how Kyle Okposo has taken a leadership role in the NHLPA especially with players in the assistance program, the Sabres would be a great spot for him

Here is an easier to read version of the list

Seth Appert would have been a much better choice given the amount of young talent they have

Ryan Reaves 3 years 1.35. Million AAV with Toronto

Novikov and Neuchev listed

Gavin McCarthy’s Favorite Sabre Player when he was growing up

No but Lance Lysowski reported they are still going to try to work out a deal

Per speculation on my part I’m surprised that Columbus didn’t give him a look Appert that is

Evolving Hockey has Engvall’s Projected Contract at 3 years 2.9 Million AAV and Tatar at 3 years 3.89 Million AAV Bennett would be a good acquisition

It would not surprise me if Patrick ends up as an Assistant in Rochester next season, with the understanding he gets an opportunity for the Amerks HC position when Appert inevitably leaves for the NHL. As Weave pointed out, completely different player and situation. Grigorenko was put in the NHL way before he was ready and was a text book example of how not to develop a prospect

Engvall and Tatar would be outstanding pick ups. Hathaway and Acciari would be next. Wood does suck though

I was thinking AHL for both as long as they do not interfere with drafted prospects.
