    I would easily take Tavares over Sidney Crosby and Ovechkin as well as Seguin over both. They are both dynamic and younger by several a handful of years.

    There's also Philadelphia, San Jose, and possibly other candidates. If it were down to Buffalo and Edmonton, I will take my chances. It would be a punchers decision.
  3. Rasmus_
    Neither. Sorry. While Strachan is an interesting case, there are others that can easily replicate his output and ability with more appeal.
  4. Rasmus_
    And, this was a surprise. Good luck Enroth! Moving on.

    Is Dylan Larkin, coming with? Then sure, I'd listen :P

    I still see him being a move candidate. I thought he played at a higher level in both Buffalo and especially Rochester this season. He gets it and he's taken his instructions well. He does need to play with talent to bring out the best of his abilities. We're still only talking about a 21 year old with size and talent that you cannot just pick up. With Eichel and Reinhart in the loop it will be hard for him to get past them unless one completely busts, which seems unlikely. I could see him being involved in a trade for anything from a top 6 wing or another top four left handed defensemen. It depends on what is available this season. If he is not moved, he'll likely be moved to the wing for the short and long term if he stays in Buffalo.

    They may be competing in the lottery and I can agree. It all depends on what happens between the end of the playoffs/draft time and in free agency/trade time. There are miracles every season. It would be safer to assume they will be picking in the top 10 though for sure come draft time in 2016.

    Varone, is about it. Dalpe has been inconsistent trash everywhere he's been. D'Amigo is completely replaceable. Varone is a nice call up for emergency purposes and played admirably. He can be replaced, but he's the only one here I'd like to see retained.
  9. Rasmus_
    Yeah, just a "No" was sufficient for me.

    Daredevil was phenomenal. Charlie Cox, Vince D'Norfio, and Elden Nelson were awesome. It's too bad one of my more favorite characters didn't survive, but this happens.

    I would assume it depends on who's available in talks and if anything goes past the "is this player available" stage. There could be a lot of teams up against the cap especially if it falls the possible 1.3M below that could have some interesting options available. Even a third line center, wing, or upside early 20's player who is not necessarily in their plans long term could work. (Not saying that the pick equates to that type of player)....Who knows. As far as Rodrigues, he had a nice season regardless of Eichel on his line, obviously that helps. There are some nice shots on net in the video packages I've seen.

    Playing a versatile forward role would be my best guess, but he'll be on the roster next year full time. He proved what he can do with the top line and is definitely a building piece, not AHL fodder.
  13. Rasmus_
    Or wait until Buffalo makes the playoffs before McDavid?
  14. Rasmus_
    It all depends if they are ousted early or if they go on a deep run. It's all about the challenge for Babcock. Who knows. Honestly, I'd love to have him but my more realistic target if let go is Dale Tippett. I love his coaching style.
  15. Rasmus_
    I love his passion and his continued effort to protect his teammates, but he's at the point where he should consider hanging them up for his family and rest of his life. I respect him as a player.
  16. Rasmus_
    Nope. That's for GM's like Holmgren IMO. I don't really see it as a relevant option, though within the rules. It just doesn't make much sense.
  17. Rasmus_
    #15 makes the most sense, but it doesn't matter what number he takes, the jersey will sell well in Buffalo regardless. Be like Eich!
  18. Rasmus_
    I would think: Niemi, Hammond, Ramo, Neuvirth, Enroth, at least come before Lindback. If you want to move Chad Johnson and resign him on a two year 750K contract for two years as the back-up sure. The team should sign O'Connor if they have the leg up regardless. Ullmark having double hip surgery should be a major concern. Dump: Hackett, and Lieuwen.
  19. Rasmus_
    I'm in the cut-bait end on him. He did play to his ability and rebounded somewhat infront of a weak team. However, I'd rather go after Neuvirth, sign O'Connor to compete with Johnson or trade for someone like Lehner.
  20. Rasmus_
    Definitely, we're talking about positive things. Like trading for O'Reilly, the growth and development of Girgensons, Larsson, Ristolainen, and so on. It was a really tough season to which most had their blinders on for too long. It's time to take them off and enjoy the view on what should be a successful other side. Hopefully this offseason can culminate in some further building blocks: O'Reilly, Frolik, Franson were three that I put in the prediction thread. Lines of: Ennis-Eichel-Kane, Moulson-Girgenson-O'Reilly, Gionta-Rienhart-Frolik, Foligno-Larsson-Deslauriers, and pairings of: Zadorov-Ristolainen, Franson-Bogosian, Gorges-Pysyk (Screwed up not checking if Franson was a righty, thought he was a lefty), and goalies of: Michal Neuvirth or Robin Lehner and Matt O'Connor or Chad Johnson.
  21. Rasmus_
    We draft Jack Eichel We draft Jordan Greenway at 31 overall We trade Mikhail Grigorenko, Jake McCabe, 2015 1st (Which ever is left) and 2016 2nd for Ryan O'Reilly We extend Ryan O'Reilly for 4-5 Seasons We sign Michal Frolik and Cody Franson We sign Michal Neuvirth and Matt O'Connor *We trade for Robin Lehner (Contingent on Neuvirth - or sign and trade for regardless) We waive Chad Johnson We do not re-sign Pat Kaleta, Andrej Meszaros, Andre Benoit, Matt Hackett, Tyson Strachan or Anders Lindback (sorry bud). Mark Pysyk, Sam Reinhart, make the Sabres out of camp and never look back. We do not trade Nikita Zadorov.
  22. Rasmus_
    I still wouldn't trade Zadorov or Pysyk. But I can see your emphasis there. I am not a Green fan regardless of his ability to run a PP unit. He has no ability in his own zone. Pass.
  23. Rasmus_
    Go Eichel. Embrace the cards you're dealt and move-on. I wanted McDavid, and the chance came and left. Shrugs. Moving on to bigger and better things.
  24. Rasmus_
    As a back-up initially yes. He's going to have to earn the starting job. Lol. I can see a Neuvirth, Niemi, type and then O'Connor battling with Makarov for AHL starts, and Johnson as the back-up unless moved in the offseason. O'Connor won't be given a stating job anywhere.
  25. Rasmus_
    Cam Ward is an absolute downgrade from Niemi and Neuvirth. Calling a goalie with a cup win your parameters are pretty lame. Talbot is interesting it really would depend on the price IMO.
