We're two points up with 29 games to go. Two points.

In the draft thread fine but please don't jinx us in here. Hopefully in 3 months you can post all the mceichel stats you want in this thread but not now.

Why in gods name are you posting Eichels stats in here?

Ennis for Kane. Make the trade tomorrow.

HAHAHAHA. This is what I need to hear. Seriously though, I need enroth out of here and I don't give a what the return is. Ya that's good news we get halak tomorrow and hopefully enroth sits.

The games I've seen cornel he's been horrible but statistically he's been heating up lately.

Also, any word if Hackett gets a start tomorrow? That would even things up. Have to have faith in our historically good (bad) analytics.

With Lindy ruff back in buffalo tonight the stars may really want to show up get him the win?

Toronto keeps their winning streak going....

Late to the party but great to read glass!

Oh very true. There always has to be a whipping boy but if he shows up and scores we will move along to another guy.

Good to know. With him being out the rest of the year and not hurting the tank then I make a move for him. He does have off ice baggage but this is a player you take a chance on IMO. He's still young and a former 4th overall pick. As has been pointed out our LW depth is not good right now. I wouldn't want to pay a ton for him though but if the price is right then I take the chance.

Can someone on IR be traded? I thought there was something in the CBA that prevented that?

I really thought any deal for Myers would be offensive prospects coming back. Not sure what I think about Fowler. He's a good young player but I would hope a piece to be added would be either a forward prospect or Gibson. I wonder if the Ducks would take Myers and Enroth for Fowler and Gibson?

I'm not a big fan of Ritchie, I don't want him as the centerpiece of any deal. I would listen to that.

The link below is Hockey Futures top 20 ranking of Ducks prospects. So I'm guessing that list will get raided. With the Ducks being legit contenders I can't see too many roster players coming back if the trade is by the deadline. http://www.hockeysfuture.com/prospect-rankings/anaheim-ducks-top-20-prospects/ Looks like they have a PP QB in Shea Theodore. I also like the idea of Gibson. It will obviously take multiple pieces.

Your not in the minority. It means way more for us to get a chl win in this game. The potential drop in the standings from one to two is way bigger than any outside shot of the isles falling to the last team to miss the playoffs.

I've been saying this for two months now.

That's rough Shrader. I have a MIL that has to stick her nose in our business constantly and it gets so frustrating. She lives about 3 hours away and was insistent we move near her rather than a house 15 minutes from my place of employment. I'm the breadwinner and my wife was unemployed at the time, how does that make any sense at all to move up there? Eventually you have to speak to your wife and discuss the pros and cons (as has been mentioned) and also speak to your MIL and discuss the same things. It's really none of her business what house you and your wife decide to buy and I can't blame you for wanting her to but the out. However, for the sake of your relationship try to go about it with the facts. At the end of the day she's not living there and keep reminding her of that. If it's anything like my MIL she came around about 6 months after we had moved in and the issue has only rarely been brought up again.

Nolan climbs up into his tank.

I wish WGR wouldn't talk in absolutes about getting Eichel yet. They were talking this morning about how Hodgson might get bought out because one of his main attributes is PP scoring but with guys like Reinhart, Eichel etc. they won't need him. We're only 4 points away from Edmonton (2 Carrion points) not 14.

I would take a 6th in 2018 for him. As I said I don't think he's part of our future so try and get something and it also helps the tank. Your right, he won't fetch more than a 4th and I'm very ok with that.

Enroth is 31 games away from free agency and I would be surprised if he signed before July 1 unless he gets a good offer from buffalo. Based on Murray's comments about preferring larger goaltenders I would be even more surprised if the sabres offered him a good contract. Therefore move him now and get anything you can and ensure the tank works out. I think enroth can play well in small sample sizes to risk the tank but I don't feel he's good enough to be our tender when we get good. Therefore I would like to move him soon and find a replacement this offseason.

Forget Stafford, Stewart and Myers. I want Enroth gone yesterday. You want to 'manipulate the roster' and really give yourself great odds to win the Shart? Trade the number one star from last nights game. With the injury to our backup (to lazy to look up spelling) and Hackett then becoming your #1 I am confident we will win the prize. Despite Enroth's stats, he steals this team points and I am much more afraid of him taking this team on some late heroic meaningless run than anyone on the roster.
