Giving up a 1st is always risky. I was really annoyed hearing talking heads speak about the drop off at 20 in this draft. That's not how it works. That said, it's a fair price impo.
That’s exactly how it works, that’s why the success rate of picks drops so drastically in the mid-late first

Actually I know a great deal about Cernak. @ dudacek and I have had many discussions about him for the years with me a huge advocate for him as a future NHL player. Good try though.
Then why did you waste everyone’s time with that nothingburger post. You’d think someone who knows “a great deal” about Cernak would use that in a response to a trade for Cernak post.

You mean Cernak the guy drafted with one of the 2 2nd rd picks TM shipped back to LA with McNabb for Fasching and Deslauriers? Surely you don't mean that Cernak with his 38 games total of NHL experience?
That’s correct, I mean the guy you clearly know nothing about... beyond that which can be googled in 2 minutes
I’m going to assume that when a completely hockey based post is met with rhetorical snark, it’s fair game to respond in kind....

Good night, I see our issues and our strengths. This won't be a popular opinion but we're closer then most think.
Closer to what?
we still have a massive hole where ROR used to skate, and McCabe-Risto continues to show themselves incapable of the role their games are designed for.

I’ve been a Risto defender for a long time... but it’s time to accept that his flaws are what they are...
with that said I’m not out there selling Risto... but I am definitely listening to buyers.
Point is silly talk... but the offer that isn’t an overpayment but would definitely intrigue me is:
JT Miller and Erik Cernak for Ristolainen
JT Miller is a modern Jochen Hecht... a complete forward whose two way game has proven a perfect compliment to high skill players. Skinner-Eichel NEED this type of player long term, especially to free Reinhart permanently to lift another line.
Miller isn’t going to wow you offensively, he’s going to do the work and get you 15 goals and 45-55 points. While limiting the liability that Skinner-Eichel is without the puck.
Miller is locked in to a very nice 5.25 for 4 more years in his prime.
But the key to the deal is Cernak... he’s every bit as mean and nasty as Risto without the defensive deficiencies. Sure, he’s a step down offensively but the fit is ideal. Especially when we have offensive drivers for each pair in Dahlin, Montour, Pilut.
He’s a RD defensive defensemen with top pair defensive talent... I could see him on Dahlin’s pairing in a year. And if by some miracle Dahlin-Montour works as a pair, then Cernak becomes the perfect defensive compliment to anchor Pilut.
its not a flashy trade... there’s no premier asset or sparkling prospect. But I think it’d be a trade we win with long term.

Not Dahlin’s fault

Note Reinhart’s speed to the corner there

Or it spurred him to greater heights.
That’s a theory... sure. I would say all evidence says otherwise

There’s probably still people on here who are against him and want him gone.
I always say Reinhart is a great barometer

Every great play Reinhart makes is a reminder of how big a ***** up his bridge deal was... it was the one real opportunity to get great contract locked in during this time of contract escalation

That's true.

Without a 3rd Round Pick in 2020, the only offer the Sabres can give that Point would agree to and Tampa wouldn’t automatically match unfortunately would have to be greater than 10 Million AAV.
EICHEL
And he’s worth it

And Point could command an Eichel level contract

Just now, LGR4GM said:
Not sure of Tampa's cap if we'd need to go that high
Tampa will be able to match anything... they catch will be if 4 1sts is the right enticement to avoid handicapping themselves long term.
FYI not trying to be a know it all here... but RFA compensation is measured based on 5 year average or contract cap hit, whichever is higher. So a 7 year / 49 million million contract isn’t measured for.... ***** that was filityh jack!!!! So it’s not 7.0 cap for RFA compensation, it’s nearly 10 million per for RFA compensation purposes
my point being that it’s hard to give a big contract and not have it reflect 4 firsts
-
2 minutes ago, LGR4GM said:
Yes. Figure out the price below 4 firsts and offer that for however many years
Just give the 4 firsts and get Point.
-
If we’re gonna bring back the offersheet, do it for Point.
side note: some GM is going to do it in the next year or so (make the offersheet a real tool again)... the exponential growth in the 2nd year contract/RFA costs is catching up... its hitting Toronto and Tampa now. GMs will have to accept that the best pathway to elite talent may be poaching it, because NOT making the offersheet allows great teams to bully great players into well below market contracts... see Kucherov bridge deal.
Cant allow Tampa/Toronto to have great players at great costs

Why is it a matter of waking up and just not a matter of talent differential?
Missed assignments is not a function of talent differential

Must you always be right? Your simply grasping at straws on the goalie pull. Hutton is not going to fall apart because he got pulled. He is a vet and knows the score.
Uhlmark made 5 remarkable saves. Be pissed about the team standing around, or for the continuous stream of breakaways, not about the goalie pull.
I’ll always be pissed about bad coaching decision

Please don't categorize a bottom six forward that barely notches the score sheet useful.
Please consider that all 23 player and then some need to be useful.

Because that’s the one I noticed and is pretty indisputable. None of the snark bothers me at all, I just don’t want to see Jame get booted so I thought I’d point it out to him. Like I said in my post, he knows my feelings about him and his content, I’d like to see him stick around, so I pointed out what bothers others. To my knowledge nobody else is close to being banned, if they were and I liked them like I like Jame, I would do the same thing.
I guess I should’ve gone with the “ No! You are wrong” response. Lol.
its gotten to the point where the analysis of my posts has gone full meta

I know it seems like we couldn't wait to get rid of him like 5 years ago. He was barely an NHL player for a while and now all of a sudden he's useful again
Botts has gotten rid of a lot of useful players...

Ennis has 9 goals this year? That’s annoying...

That goalie pull had a strong impact :rolleyes:
Speculation Risto to Tampa??
