Unless the trade makes sense, he should stay a Sabre.

We could go with a current title "The Bye Bye Man" ala Bylsma and the playoffs likely :D

Blah. I'm so tired of line-up's like this. It's not Bylsma's fault that Kulikov and McCabe are out of action, but watching Fedun, Falk, Nelson and Franson in the top 6, makes me crazy.

Are you referring to Nilsson going back? Or Lehner. Either way, I do hope we can convince Petersen to sign his ELC. He's been rather impressive in College and it would be nice to have a goalie with some potential. Sorry Kasdorf and Ullmark.

This is actually what I thought of initially, but thought it was too depressing lol!

Awesome post. I'm good with getting rid of him if that's what Tim Murray feels like doing.

Even with them healthy I still think they should strip mine it and start over. Aside from McCabe and Ristolainen, the rest should be both unprotected in the expansion draft, I'd love to see Murray get rid of any and all of them.

I honestly think his only mistakes are the potential hire of Bylsma and contracts of Moulson, Ennis honestly. The other trades for better or worse have been even or wins. Whether you want to put the Winnipeg deal in either favor, I would say that the gentle giant (Myers) and Stafford have more or less come out about even with Kane and Bogosian for better or worse. While Armia has done some things and Lemieux still has yet to come to fruition Kane when healthy has proven effective in all zones. His 2015 and 2016 drafts were both solid. Especially last year with late round picks that seem to be doing nicely.

That wouldn't even get you within 5 miles of a realistic asking price on either. Also, while Fowler is a decent enough skating defensemen he's still a liability in his zone. I'd rather pay more for Theodore, but Bailey and a 2nd doesn't get you past a "thank you for inquiring, have a great day!"

The shake up of the lines has finally put forth some effort. Girgensons is hot lately and Carrier has worked out well with O'Reilly. Nothing better than creating offense when it is missing from the depth of the team. Here's hoping Kane, Eichel, O'Reilly, Okposo and Reinhart continue to steamroll us up the standings! Tired of top 10 draft picks for sure!

The Bills expected much better? Hah! If you're 6'1" and under you don't belong under center. Sorry, Tyrod, time for bench duties or off to the CFL. Clown! The fact that the buffoon with the GM hat on still has a job, is comical. He should have been fired at the EXACT same time as Rex.

That's super optimistic. I'm not sure what games you've been watching. Unless we play the Av's a bunch more. :P

lol, Amateur hockey 101!

I sense some sarcasm somewhere in this post. Maybe, I'm just reading into things. :unsure:

Jake McCabe's playing to about his expectations. He shouldn't be on the top pairing of course. But, from the games I've seen he has progressed rather than regressed like some of our defensemen.

Which is a fair assessment, but Fedun is a 28 year old journeyman which should have no long term commitment status. IMO. Tired of rentals. Ready for upgrading this terrible D. It's been 4 seasons of dread.

I would like to see more improvement from defensemen not named Rasmus Ristolainen and Jake McCabe. That's about all.

I will take a low second or high third as a plus and move on from him. No offense to him, but with how bad this season is going. Might as well see Nelson for the plethora of games.

Looks like its make or break time for Zemgus.

I voted yes, and I don't have any issue with it at all.

Woot woot, ready to watch some hockey when I get home. Todays shift is dreadfully slow. Like the Devils TRAP.

I really don't see Nilson as that much of an upgrade. But to each their own. I think it's more of a 1A/1B type tandem situation.

Losing Ennis or Moulson is perfectly fine by me :D

Tier 1: Eichel, Reinhart Tier 2: Ristolainen, O'Reilly Tier 3: Larsson, Nylander, Okposo, Asplund Tier 4: McCabe, Guhle, Kane, Pu, Fasching Tier 5: Kulikov, Carrier, Foligno, Girgensons, Lehner/Nilsson Tier 6: Gionta, Deslauriers, Tier 7: Moulson, Gorges, Ennis, Bogosian

I'd rather have Colin White back :)
