That’s getting matched with ease
A 1st, a 2nd, and a 3rd or $8M. That should be matched in a heartbeat. But I'm not the penny-pinching Hurricanes. MTL should have offered $9 for only one extra 1st round pick.

There's plenty more to come from that organization when the owner refuses to pay the going rate for just about anything.
Carolina and Ottawa are purely being run as feeder systems at this point. Sure, on occasion they'll be a bunch of jerks or get a Hamburglar (Binnington-esque) goalie run to get into the playoffs, but they're not going to be poised to sustain anything because they're not going to offer market-price second contracts. That means we need to pillage from them.
(coincidentally, we have the Hamburglar now)

Good NHL-veteran experience for K6. Although, I would have said the same of Wedgewood.

Except, Olofsson played LW on the Eichel line. Housley bumped Skinner off that li e, not Reinhart.
Ach! My bad. I even looked back to give you the ol' "Darth knows best" and there it is... 3/28 L DET (OT) Olofsson - Eichel - Reinhart. So.... yeah, Vesey's a 3rd line LW on this roster.

He plays LW, he'll be behind Olofsson and Skinner
Yeah -- I see he's listed as LW in some places, but he played RW for the Rangers last year. But yes, if he's LW -- he's behind Skinner and Olofsson, except Olofsson played RW in his callup last year to get top line fun. I treat wingers like TIE fighters --- just throw 'em wherever. But as a center, I fly in the middle of the formation... preferably within a trench.

If he's slated for the first line Botterill needs to be fired immediately.
I don't think you slate him for 1st line. But those things will sort themselves out --- Kessel ended up a 3rd liner in Pittsburgh for offensive balance. The questions he needs to answer for the summer are: Does Vesey's addition as RW put Thompson in the AHL where he belongs? Does Vesey fill the Pominville gap? etc.

Because he chose Rangers over Buffalo? Wouldn't you have?
On a 2 year entry level deal, two years ago? Absolutely he made the right move coming out of school. Now he's got the chance to pull a Skinner and up his value before becoming UFA. He's just got to deliver. Maaaaaybe he and Jack are really good together, and Vesey can keep up with Jack and Skinner as Pommers couldn't for an entire season. That opens up Reinhart to be the RW on his on line.

I'm getting the Blase Thomas Golisano goosebumps!
That's better than the goosebumps caused by a blase tree goat. I hear those things carry all sorts of foul diseases. Never heard of the blase tree goat of Endor? They're real.

Ok --- so he's a 2nd/3rd line tweener (hopefully 3rd for us) that replaces Pominville at half the cost. Essentially a winger for Mitts or ERod this year? Or our mysterious Risto-acquired 2C if that player can generate and carry on his own. For a 3rd round pick. Sure. I'd like a bit more sandpaper though and boardwork from our wingers.

I'm really gonna miss booing that guy.
On the contrary, now you boo him more. Like 39 more times more a year!

Cheap at least. Someone has to be on the move right? Only so many third line players a team can have...
Vesey can't escape the pull of the Sabres
If Vesey only knew the power of the 3rd round pick. (We have a new one each year... we can keep him -- or get him back -- forever!)

Stralman got $5M/year? Risto could buy us our own
ship2nd line for that. -

Take Duchene off that roster as well. Dzingel too.
Still liking that roster?
I love what Kekalainen and co. did last year. They went for it! And took down Tampa doing it. But if they lose all their UFAs they're down to Jones and Werenski. (And a handful of good vets, but you're not building around Foligno, Atkinson, etc... does Kekalainen start listening to trade offers for those guys as soon as this deadline and start a ... rebuild?)

Impressive, @Randall Flagg. Most impressive. This is one of the reasons why sabrespace is so wizard.
-
It's a good signing. It's puts Larsson on notice if he doesn't impress, he'll be going to Rochester. And it tells O'Regan and Asplund that if they want to anchor the top line on the Amerks, they can't slouch. You want to play for this team? You're going to have to compete even for ROC time.

Wow, Davidsson's got a burst.

Lol Tage messed up a toe drag and it led to a 2 on 1 against. Ah the memories!
If there's a place to try it... it's in the wide open space of a 3-on-3, and... yeah. He's got to learn to use his body (and weight once he has it), rather than just try to dangle all the time. With that length, he's got to be able to free space for a shot, not go for the toe drag every time.

Blue group, Gold group, Green? group, all skaters follow me!

The trade will be betrayed and murdered by the Empire
The taxation of trade routes always get bogged down in the Senate. But if Risto goes and wins the Norris, and we win the trade because in the long run we shore up our defense and win a Cup... we win, from a certain point of view.

Why isn't anyone offering $8.5M for Girgensons? C'mon, NHL owners!
