Sweet Jesus. All the other prospects are at least two years out minimum. What a disaster of a franchise. Absolutely unbelievable. What will be worse is when we finish last and lose the lottery next year.

Well it’s back to Skinner Eichel Oloffson 😂😂

Exactly x 100! One of the top 10 to 15 players drafted the past decade. That’s at least worth a top prospect plus! These teams want to throw secondary assets and win a cup combining Eichel with their top prospects. Turgeon got Lafontaine. This is the same thing plus.

He’s staying in Colorado

Have to get a top prospect as the starting point or hang up the phone.

That would be the best case scenario. We must maximize the return. They are getting an elite top center. That has to be expensive. Vegas, Minny, desperately need one.

Tuch and Krebs should be the starting point imo

Yeah it seems a stretch this was leaked out.

We only need a second team to set off a bidding war. The Vegas offer is … ok. Not a home run.

Yup…Samuelson huge too.

I was very impressed with R2. That was a great signing.

Yeah I’m glad I’m not the only one that can’t make heads or tales of that comment.

Minny, LA, or Anaheim not bad returns. Although I like Rossi as a future top 6 center and a decent RH D prospect with another pick in next years draft. We could pick up two really good, or at least possibly one elite center next year. A few more years of sufferings, but with the right player development, we could get out of the basement in 3-4 years.

There are some pieces that make this roster better than 15. But it is hard to see a scenario where we don't finish last again. Probably for the next two seasons. We are tanking again, but not deliberately like 15, it is just naturally a result of historical ineptitude. How else are we not going to be terrible the next year or two? There is literally no alternative now. What a disaster. Probably the biggest train wreck in modern history and by a mile. But.... like it or not, the next two drafts are loaded....so.... we only need to land one of the top 3 next year to have a new franchise piece going forward. There literally is no alternative this time unless Granato works an absolute miracle. So .... time to watch prospects all year because it will be much more interesting that what we are about to endure the next two seasons.

We need a top prospect(s) and picks. Bottom line. I dont mind Adams holding the line.

You probably haven’t seen Sams comments then about an extension..

It is appalling we lost Sam because management is that inept. I have no clue how he did not get a long term extension. Terrible organization.

From KAs presser definitely Jack on the way out. He said lots of discussions continuing.

Whether it is by design or not, this is a tank. No question. They are shedding tank 1 core players the same way they cast off the Vets in 2014 to rebuild the culture. Same situation. The top 3 or 4 next years draft and the year after are crazy good prospects. I would assume we will be in position to get two of them.

This feels like we are going into the season we tanked for Sam. Hope I am wrong. That would mean easily 3 to 4 years before we are competitive. Remember this year we could own the longest playoff drought on record. That is hockey hell for sure.

No way he would go from first to worst when there are probably 5-6 teams that will make him offers.

Sure, but i doubt anyone really good.

Nope. Unless a miracle happens this is somewhat likely the lineup they throw out there. Cannot wait to see the sales pitch.

With Sam and Jack gone, Mitts is probably our number one center. not exact but… Tage Mitts Skinner R2 Cozens Asplund Oloffson Jack-Trade? FA Okposo Girgs Reider?? None of the other kids are ready to come up We need to resign McCabe and a FA desperately for D and resign Ullmark and FA??? (None of the kid goalies are ready) SCARY!

KA needs to pull off a miracle for this team not to be AHL level next year.
