I could see Philly exploring this trade more than Winnipeg but I don't see them parting with Coutourier or Provorov. Nolan is an underachiever with a head injury, not sure you want to roll the dice on him. I have no idea how this trade might look. They might want to dump Van Riemsdyck's salary. Farabee is a guy I'd like to see coming our way. Maybe Konecny. In a multi package.

That was weird. Got up just before 7am and there's still a game on!!! Nice goal to finish. If we got Eakin a false beard do you think we could swap him for Connor without anyone noticing? 😆
Just be glad the Bruins didn't draft him or you'd be really annoyed.........

I want to add I took a dive on power Power after March. He really seemed to come into his own as the Ncaa season progressed. I think his size has him slightly over valued but Power brings an interesting skillset.
So you still don't want to draft him?

Power has looked good in back to back games on a bad team. Hopefully they start to increase his ice time. Just keep him away from Colin Miller😜
Already better than Colin Miller. I still say he's the pick I want us to make.

I don't think Edmonton would even consider either of those trades.
Well once upon a time they did trade Gretzky so anything is possible, but I'd say the odds of it are all but zero.
They may however, rethink their direction and philosophy of building around him and Draisaitl.

You don't need "generational" players to win Cups.
I'd say it actually makes it harder to build a team with them in a cap era (unless you cheat like Tampa).

Ya, they are not looking good at all.

Not buddies but I believe the jobs are interconnected. Seen many cases over the years where if not at least having a good working relationship it doesn't work.
There's no argument that it's better if they get along, and they usually do as GMs tend to pick their guys, I'm just not sure it's essential. All speculative anyway. I don't actually have any idea why Gallant got fired, I just know he creates winners and gets max. talent out of his roster.

If a coach wants a speed game and the GM agrees but the GM doesn't provide the right players for that system, you're going to have problems. Better if they're in communications and get along: GM: Hey want me to extend Jeff Skinner? Coach: No, he's fast, he's tenacious, but he freelances too much.
Absolutely. Always better if everybody's on the same page as they like to say.

He may be to hockey what Billy Martin was in baseball. Like it or not you do need to be able to work with others. I do thi k he's a good coach but that's a fan perspective. If I'm a GM or owner my perspective would be different maybe. Still think all things considered Granato is the guy and I'm okay with that. The KA/Karmanos team is the one that's going to determine where we go in my opinion.
I don't see why GMs and coaches actually have to work together. You state a vision of expectation, as in this is the way we want this team to play. This style. Then you draft and trade for players who fit that style and the coach is expected to win games. He doesn't he's fired. No reason the two have to be buddies.

This Florida series is disappointing. I expected more fireworks, more physicality from Florida. Their goaltending has been poor, and watching this Kucherov thing is annoying. League's cap rules are a joke. I'm really starting to hate this Tampa Bay Cheaters team.

I think that's it with Gallant. He doesn't play nice with owners and/or GMs. Probably not unlike old Ted Nolan that way. Probably why Pegulas would never hire him too. They like yes men.

Gallant, imo, should of been the obvious choice. Should of been handed the reigns as soon as RK was removed. We didn’t need a coaching search with a coach of that caliber available. The Rangers will be in the playoffs next year with Gallant. Drury knows what he’s doing. We are always a step behind.
Totally agree. Gallant has been my preferred choice since he was fired by Vegas.

We like to bash the Bruins but that's a team and organization I'd love to have. Their most hated player? Yeah, I'll take him as well.
Ya definitely. That's why after Murray I was saying hire somebody from the Bruins organization and then again after JBot I said the same. That team has a culture and a team dynamic second to none and should be copied. They aren't always the best team, but they truly function like that cliche "band of brothers" and it elevates them every year. Fantastic community stuff too. They are a model franchise.
Likely, it all comes down from Cam Neely. His style, his attitude, his work ethic. If we would put a guy like Rick Dudley in a similar top position maybe we could become similar.

Woohoo! Winnipeg in OT goes up 2 games. McDavid no points so far.
Yup. When you put everything on one or two superstars they're easier to be shut down by teams that know how to play team D. Perhaps the idea of trading Eichel for 3 or 4 good players isn't as terrible a concept as some think.

Watching the playoffs tonight, Ovi looked pretty old and past his prime.

Jeff Carter is kind of an underrated player.
Is he? Two Stanley Cups, Gold medals, and wasn't he an almost Conn Smyth winner? Anyway, I guess maybe he's underrated but not really.

Exactly. Which is why the Sabres should not be trying to emulate/follow their model .

I liked the guy, except for the diving.

Where does this come from?
We've never heard any suggestions that Jack hates the city of Buffalo. Why would he hate Winnipeg?
We've heard that Jack hates the incompetence of the Sabres organization. The Jets aren't incompetent.
Finally, Jack Eichel is under contract for five more years. Why do people pretend otherwise?
I'm guessing. If he went to Winnipeg he'd be staring right in the face of Eichel vs. McDavid constantly and he's not going to come out #1 in that and I don't think that sits well with him now and will be worse if he goes there.
Also, he's fine with Buffalo as a city. Everyone knows he'd rather be a Bruin but he's still relatively close to home, family, what he knows and likes. You think he'd be happy going up to another small market great white north nowhere land? I do not think so. I mean maybe these guys would go anywhere for their money but Winnipeg can't be anywhere near where he'd like to be.
and it's 50 below in the winter...............
But maybe he could start a band, although both of these guys moved 🙂

It shows very clearly how completely dysfunctional the Sabres are imo.
I don't know if dysfunctional is the right word, but it does perhaps speak to how they become okay with losing, lack effort, and don't pull together as a team. It runs deep, and thus is the reason I firmly believe a reset is the only answer, and that's not guaranteed success, but not resetting is certain to fail.

I agree that Winnipeg probably won't be very interested though.

Ya, Spencer Knight was really good. maybe Florida will look to trade a goalie next year?
