Having faith in MacTavish, is like admitting that your preferred source for rumors is Eklund. There is a complete disconnect there, in my opinion.

Could it be on Ennis. I be that's a name that could get some play. It's more likely a younger controlled asset that actually has some value...unless someone really wants CoHo.

Good god, Neuvirth has been so impressive the last 6 games. You start to wonder what would happen if he was the regular full time starter, minus his injury earlier this season.

It makes sense for Columbus because I assume they'd rather pay someone to play, and there's little chance that Horton comes back anytime soon. He could end up being a Pronger type situation. Sitting out multiple years while attempting to come back. Though this isn't a concussion case.

Stewart + NYI 2nd + Cornel for Subban and 1st. While Compher is having a sophomore slump at Michigan, he plays the type of game that this team needs more of.

Really good return on Sekera.

That makes a lot of sense. I don't see him moving unless there's a dier emergency for a team in the next 8 1/2 days. It doesn't make sense.

Neuvirth has looked solid again. Bogosian putting solid pressure on their forwards. Hoping we'll see some more of Pysyk!

In his first full season he did what fans wanted to see out of him and that was bring his physical nature to the Sabres. He did that leading the team in blocks and being a true professional in the locker room and out. If there is a guy you need to handcuff to Zaddy, its' Gorges for the rest of the season. Get cleaned up, 2015 will be a much different ride.

I was impressed that he didn't beat around the bush. He remained professional while answering questions about Winnipeg and left the issue in Manitoba. He may have spurned some in that room, but I am so happy to have him here. He was insightful, funny and straight forward. If anything, he's excited about the group and opportunity to improve on the upswing. 2015-16, looks brighter and more optimistic.

Would have passed out a few seasons ago ;)

It's on WGR right now.

I guess the reason that I want O'Reilly personally is his defensive upside with the ability to put up 60-70 point potentially. With the right talent he has shown that he can be a 25 goal talent. I'm so tired of seeing this team get shredded.

Love that if it can swindle them into giving up a lottery pick. However, I don't see them trading the pick. I secondly would hate moving Girgensons, but you have to do what you have to do.

All of this makes sense, I would agree completely. The offseason makes a lot more sense with what Colorado's been dealing with. They still have an outside shot at the playoffs and O'Reilly only helps their cause. However, we'll see what is involved. If he's available at a realistic price that GMTM is interested in, he'll likely swoop. It's go time in the Murray camp.

Exactly how I feel. It just really depends on the asking price and what is involved. There are pieces available. It cannot start with Zadorov, Ristolainen or Bogosian (defense) or Reinhart, Fasching or Compher (on offense) hopefully. Ennis is always trying. He's a part that I would prefer to see on the roster, but I do feel that RoR > Ennis.

That's fair, I'm just talking about from a hockey player standpoint. The guy at 42 still is productive. His work ethic is undeniable. Say all you want about his attitude, his persona and his diva like stature, but he's a joy to watch on the ice. I personally have loathed the Devils since the mid to late 90's along with Toronto, and Boston.

Pretty much how I feel about Kessel. Kane has a two way game and an output that is within Patrick Kane's net shot put while playing a more aggressive style. Kessel scores well and can skate with speed.

As long as Nolan has his say, pfft I doubt we'll see an extensive cast of Americans' call ups. Aside from Larsson as an emergency replacement for Kaleta, we'd probably not have him.

Two goals for Jagr, to push his trade value up. I find him still one of the most enjoyable players to watch in the NHL.

The Oilers picked up another point last night in Winnipeg, forcing the game to the SO. They're playing so much better under Phillips. The marginal improvement really shows in their output. Look at Yakupov alone. He's still a plus minus nightmare, but he's putting up points again. If they can get him stable, then maybe they can really finally begin to show on their unlimited potential.

Putting expectations on a rookie is like capping the odds for the winner of the Preakness. You have unusual rookie cases like MacKinnon or you have talented younger players with years like Curtis Lazar. We're all hoping for the 50-70 point case, but being realistic, it will be a big help to add more talent to the top 6 either way. This has been a frustrating and brutal trip to rebuilding, but being realistic it had to happen.

Great post, I'm starting to feel the same. I'm really tired of him playing guys like Benoit when there are more deserving guys like potentially Pysyk. The fringe guys need to move out of the way. Larsson needs to stay the rest of the year regardless of injuries/health. Noah Hanifen or Mitch Marner depending on who you ask.

I haven't I wish he would get a substantial look in the lower portion of the roster to earn his stripes in Buffalo. I'm tired of seeing Hodgson and Kaleta when Larsson has the potential to be as good if not better. Looking forward to watching Bogosian specifically tonight.
