Rasmus_

At this point, I just want to see updates on movement. Speculation at this point is so mind numbingly insufferable.

Good the Rags, have 96.5213% of their roster as untouchable anyways.

Quoting Eklund as a source, is as accurate as tossing a lawn dart into the air and hitting ground. He tosses it up and if it lands on the ground, that means it's happening according to that goof.

Eichel Olofsson Reinhart Mittelstadt Asplund Thompson (I honestly could care less here) Bjork (I honestly could care less here) Dahlin Jokiharju Borgen Houser I'm leaving Ristolainen exposed, with the intent purpose of moving on. I don't think Rasmus is a terrible player, but at this point, just move on. I DO NOT want to start next season with him on the roster. This team needs to be gutted.

As usual Buffalo stuck with their hand in the jar. God we're ***** hopeless.

I really would have liked to go after Vanacek.

Barf. I'm not trading Eichel and Reinhart for that. Sorry, Elias Lindholm and Tkachuck do not equal Eichel and Reinhart.

5 Takes: This team is better without Eichel than with William Eklund will be the #1 overall pick Jack Eichel will be traded to Minnesota for a package starting with Boldy Rasmus Ristolainen, has played his last game for the Sabres Dahlin will lead the team in points in 2021-22. I am not a Tage Thompson fan, so I'd take the first 2nd round pick to get him out of here.

I want Ristolainen gone first. Get a 2nd if possible and move him. Just get him out the door.

If one year of Jones includes that, then I want Dach #12, Boqvist and Reichel.

I'd rank UPL above Dubnyk, he has been terrible for two years. Freddie is the top of the available list there. Rask has already said, I will play in Boston, or retire and go back to Finland.

I just really hope we don't lose Asplund.

Not sure that I see UPL up until at the earliest the second half. I think it's much more likely it's a tier 3 goalie and Houser or Tokarski. Unless for some ungodly reason we trade for a "Gibson, Merzlikins, Korpisalo" type.

It is a tad uninspired. I liked the old system better.

Cough, take Eklund, then trade up for Clarke, Edvinsson or Hughes.

Scouts, what are those? You don't just use an internet mock draft?

Eugene Melnyk, has officially lost his mind. Good to not hear Pierre anymore!

I want Eklund #1 overall and any of Guenther, Beniers, Power, Hughes, Edvinsson, in a top 5 pick.

Being in conference, much like Boston, or the Rags, they will have to pay a higher premium. Trading him to Minnesota, Los Angeles, Anaheim, Las Vegas, Calgary, makes so much more sense.

Nah. They're the worst suggested trade partner.

I'm honestly fine keeping Okposo, if we can deal Skinner somehow, then I'd look at those scenarios. That's the big cap hit I'd move that has a long term b/s impact.

He's frustrated, we're frustrated, the management group is frustrated, makes for an unenviable task. Just move on, and lets start building. Unlike last time we at least have 7-8 potential pieces.

I love all of it. I agree with everything here too. I don't want Power #1 overall to begin with.

It's Jack being Jack, answering a home town reporter. I think we can cut, Jack some slack in saying, the obvious answer is of course, at some point I'd love to play for my home town team. To the "now or later", it's just time to move on for all parties. Get the absolute most you can for him. This *****, isn't going to get better. Yes, waiting for the best return is important, but there's always the theory of thought about waiting TOO LONG.
